:hail: beautiful post. I tell ppl the same ting all the time.feelthepain said:Ricky not a great back?....the Bill's game alone makes him a great back, IMO not to mention getting over 1300 yrds behind one of the worst lines in football and our QB's and WR's stunk up the joint, excluding CC. Every team we faced last year knew our game plan better then us and Ricky still ran like a monster. As for being hesitant, how would you approach a team that knows your getting the ball most of the time? I'd say anything less then a great back would have crumbled under such pressure. I can't believe as long as this team has gone without a truly great back fans would think a thousand yrd back would be a god, but I guess some fans are getting spoiled.Give Rick some credit, he's playing in one of the wost O's in the league and he still gaines nearly 1400 yrds "Great" is exactly what Ricky is.
I stated that he "isn't the great back he was in 2002". I'm sorry, but he wasn't. And until he proves me wrong, he isn't. Maybe it was all caused precisely because of the Bills' game.feelthepain said:Ricky not a great back?....the Bill's game alone makes him a great back, IMO not to mention getting over 1300 yrds behind one of the worst lines in football and our QB's and WR's stunk up the joint, excluding CC.

He didn't show he was a top back last year. And it's not just the stats (which can be easily pinned on the OL) - his style of running was far more hesitant...
I hope he proves me (and everyone else) wrong next year, though. But as of now, he's still a very good back, just not the great one he was in 2002.
