Here is what Sparano said in this mornings press briefing on Ricky:
Sparano when asked "Do you have respect for Ricky Williams respect for the history of the game of football"?
"Yeah a little bit, yeah I do. Ricky Williams is a very intelligent guy, I mean he knows about the history, he knows about the history here in Miami, he can talk to you about that in great length of those things..but uhh..you know this game is important to Ricky and I mean, where he is right now in this game is pretty important to him, I know that and you know maybe he'll be a little part of history at some point here to.
Sparano when asked "What convinces you that this game is important to him"?
His work ethic, his commitment, right now to this football team, all the things, all the signs that I see, again when I walked into this situation I walked in this being a blank piece of paper and I just wanted to go ahead and see what I see, use my eyes, that's something I learned from Bill Parcells, from Jeff Ireland, use my eyes and ya know I think Ricky since the day I've been here has proven to me that he's very committed to this football team and to this organization, being the best guy that he can be, best teammate he can be.
Sparano when asked "Does Ricky give a play caller more options since he can kinda turn the corner a little bit...or is that rare"?
What's rare....What's rare is that you know in the game the other night he turned the corner a couple times on plays that you're not supposed to the corner...they're not built that way and HE DID IT, and that again the good runners can do that, it's kinda buyer beware watch out...you know I mean you go out there you better gain yards is what I tell them and he gains yards and he does a good job with his vision and he can circle the defense...that helps if you got a guy that can do that and from aa defensive standpoint they're worried about him circling the defense and getting on the perimeter a little bit, it helps you when you run the ball between the tackles, certainly we know he can do that.
Seems like Sparano is really talking up Ricky...I really think they know what an incredible talent they have in Ricky no matter what his past has been and I know they love the guy because of what he brings to the football team.
I'm telling you this football team wouldn't be the same this year without Ricky, Ricky right now is the focal point of this offense. Without him this year this offense would be nothing close to what it could be with him on the team.
Not with the runners we have besides Ricky.
I loved the part where Sparano said "Maybe Ricky will be a little part of history at some point here to"
I hope he's still here if or when we win a superbowl..and I really think Ricky would love a SB ring to, to be a bigger part of the Miami Dolphins history and to clear his name.
