If Ronnie gets the ball more then he has had the past few weeks, he has a VERY good shot at "Offensive Rookie Of The Year".

:couch:

 

[Pocoloco]

he'll be moving up in the next few weeks too, look for us to run the ball more. Ronnie should get 15-20 a game, and Ricky ought to get 10 or so a game

 

[ROCHESTERPHISH]

Screw Rw, Just Give Rb The Damn Ball.
Very Simple Plan, Thow The Ball 22-28 Times And Give Rb 23-30 Carries I Think He Will Respond With Some Steady Numbers For Us!!!
Sabin Just F---en Do It

 

[Maynard the Hammer]

with what offense? the only way that happens is if linehan gets seperated from his love child and starts calling some running plays with sage under center

 

[DeathStar]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

and not wooooo for walking in your friend's room with two random people hooking up.
im tainted for life.

 

[DolFan31]

On a side note(not to get offtopic), whatever happened to Ahman Green?

 

[finfansince72]

Our defense has to play a part in getting Ronnie his carries. If we are down by 10-14 at halftime its hard to run the ball enough. I love the 4.8yds a carry(LT is like 4.9), that means hes breaking a few big runs and consistantly getting tough yards. Hes due for a breakout 125-150yd running 50+yd catching game sometime soon. He looks a lot different than the first few weeks, more confident. He flattened that KC defensive player on that long run.

injuries.

I agree. Ronnie is all caught up with Caddy now and if he starts getting the rock, it will be a race to the finish between Ronnie and Caddy...

Nasty

Its awesome just to have watched him progress in just these 6 weeks... we get to watch him keep progressing for the next few years! :evil:

[Shouright]

And when you look at number one (Alexander), you see what a dominant offensive line and a good passing game can do for you as a runner.

 

[HysterikiLL]

Unfortunately Ronnie could drop to about 20 on that list once the rest of the weeks games have been played.

 

[painnotpleasure]

Ronnie has been impressive as of late after such a slow start... on a sider note I really do feel Shaun Alexander will win the rushing title this year... by a yard.

 

[Nublar7]

So far Ronnie should have the edge in the race because of his 102 receiving yards compared to Caddy's 6.
