The one realization that came to my mind yesterday.....was the sight of seeing RICKY WILLIAMS on the sidelines....when we were seemingly out of the "running game" and on to the heave and ho show.....featuring JAY Fiedler throwing to 4 wideouts...with ROBERT EDWARDS in there..as the pass catching, RB specialist.
My thoughts are......there he is.....RICKY....out of this game....for what? Is RICKY perhaps not the most likely out of anyone on this offense....even if we are indeed behind....to not get that football into that endzone faster than anyone could?
I mean...nothing against ROBERT EDWARDS....he should be in there...he is doing a nice job on third downs...but to permanately displace RICKY in the lineup....I am not sure about that.
RICKY WILLIAMS is a guy...I was thinking....who should NOT be on the sidelines.....at least....not for that long.
So what if the DOlphins are in a catch-up mode..... Does that mean we should just put our best offensive playmaker on the bench?
I mean....why give an opposing defense so much less to worry about? Just RiCKY's mere presence in the lineup....is enough for more than 1 defender to think about.... even as a decoy....he can help open up someone else.....
So now.... it seems......that whenever we are going to get behind late in the game......our best option now......is to take RICKY completely out of the lineup....and let JAY just try and wing it.....and if he has to throw or dump it off in the flats.....ROBERT EDWARDS will be in there.....not just for a couple of plays...while RICKY rests a little bit......but for the rest of the game.
Is there anything wring with RICKY maybe coming out for just a series or two.....before putting him back in there.....even if he is in there....just to block...or to come out and catch a pass?
The bottom line is that our offense is much better with RICKY WILLIAMS in the lineup....even though the running game is perhaps abandoned.
When you have a playmaker like this......why would you just say.....RICKY....I think that is going to be it for you today.....we are behind.....we have to play catch-up.....we will just play ROBERT EDWARDS for the rest of the game...and we will see you next week.
Just play Ricky... that should be the mindset....give him a rest.....yes....play ROBERT EDWARDS.....but I mean....to call it a day....when the running game is abandoned...and we have to play catch-up.... to have him done on the sidelines...as a spectator....I don't believe that is the best answer to score points in a hurry. When you have a talent like this.....you have got to keep him in the lineup.....regardless of the dire circumstances.
Thats just the way I see it.....
