The Pats had Antowain Smith for the past three seasons. Look where that got them. Now the Titans feel they can get by with him -- instead of George? Running backs aren't really that important. They are over-valued by most fans -- probably because they play fantasy football. Systems are important. Unfortunately for the Dolphins the offense was disproportionately designed around Ricky. They are going to have their work cut out for them to find ways to get yards that they used to get simply by handing him the rock. They are going to have to "think" and that will be the real challenge for the coaching staff that you have. They can play a good game of smashmouth football, but they don't know many other tricks.
