So. With Ronnie Down, Who gets more playing time?

[Ricky_Fan34]

Do we give Kory Sheets more playing time and put him at #2? Do we give Lex Hilliard more playing time and put him at #2? Or do we sign somebody like an Edgerrin James?

I persnally think that the better option for us would be to put Kory Sheets at #2 simply because he is a better change of pace back. He is speedy and elusive while Ricky is more of a power back.

I Think we will go with Hilliard though, because I remember how well he did in preseason. I still think Sheets will get some carries, but I see Hilliard getting around 5-10 per game.

On a side note, I'm extremely disapointed that I won't get to be going to the Carolina game and not be able to see Ronnie Brown. He is also on my fantasy team, so that blows as well. Not only that, I also have Michael Turner on my fantasy team... my fantasy team basically got destroyed this weekend.. and I was in first too.

Also, sorry to ramble, but I also think Ronnie's days in Miami could very well be over. We all know the front office hates injury prone players, and I'm not saying Ronnie Brown is Injury prone, cause he's had a few freak injuries. Wouldn't be shocked to see him in a Patriots uniform next year, and that really sucks.

I think Hilliard would be 2nd string over Sheets, he's been in the system all season as opposed to Sheets who was signed last month. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Hilliard got 5-10 carries tomorrow night, especially if the Dolphins are in the lead and want to run the ball more, you can't expect Ricky to start carrying the ball 25-30 times in a game.

Also, if a new collective bargaining agreement isn't reached for next year and 2010 is an uncapped year, Ronnie's contract is extended for another year and he's on the Dolphins next year. If a new CBA is agreed upon, then Ronnie becomes a free agent. So we have to wait on the CBA to get decided before trying to figure out whether Ronnie is on the Dolphins next year or not.
