Who is the Dolphins 2nd Best Runningback

Ronnie Brown is not on the list because he is the the best. Hopefully all agree. I'm looking for the 2nd Best. Here's the Candidates

1.Ricky Williams
2.Patrick Cobbs
3.Lex Hilliard

Its a tough choice because i didn't view Cobbs as even a good back a few years ago but now he really has progressed and filled his role. Ricky is good but i don't think he is even close to what he used to be. Its to close choose because Cobbs caught a lot of passes especially on that trickery play and Ricky errr dropped that trickery pass is was so good and he dropped it.

My Pick: Patrick Cobbs

Why are you asking the question? There is Ricky and a wide gap to the rest.

no doubt Ricky
Cobbs is quite good.
But I mean I'd rather have Ricky lining up behind the QB as opposed to Cobbs, let alone Lex Hilliard ha.
but yeah Ricky

I think Ricky got too many Carries and didn't produce as much as he should of. Cobbs i thought did work every opportunity he got

Ricky without a doubt. Cobbs is a nice change of pace back and a guy you can let run routes as a receiver. However, Cobbs is not an every down back and would not do well as a full time starter. If Ronnie, God forbid, got injured for a period of time this season, Ricky is the guy that would carry the load. Why? Because he can.

We have a nice thing going with these three players. Ronnie gets the majority of the carries with Ricky getting a nice dose also. Sprinkle Cobbs in for some plays and you have a strong running game. Hopefully the interior of the line plays better with the return of Thomas and Smiley and the upgrade of Grove at center.

I really enjoy the plays when all three are on the field.

Not even sure why this would be close. Ricky williams by far. Unless Hillard or cobbs all of a sudden becomes God like ricky is #2.

 

[GoonBoss]

Ricky without any question.

how did Ricky not produce? He basically put up similar numbers to Ronnie Brown.

I say Brown and Williams are much closer than some want to believe and nobody on our roster is close to either of them. Cobbs did solid but he is outclassed by far.

Ronnie has more of an impact on the field that seperates them by far

Last year Cobbs and Ronnie Combined for 1 fumble that was lost

Last year Ricky had 5 fumble in which 2 were loss but the signifigance of a fumble even if it is not loss weighs heavily because the results can result in a loss of downs. Every possesion counts


Ricky Williams in 1109 in carries has 21 fumbles in which 14 were lost

Ricky Williams
Avg fumble every 53 carries :crazy:
Avg fumble loss every 79 carries

i might add that he fumbled 20 times on the saints in 3 seasons and loss 12 of them in 814 carries

Ricky Williams (Saints)
Avg Fumble every 41 carries:crazy:
Avg fumble loss every 68 carries

Yea he improved but is quite the old Tiki barber

Ronnie Brown 781 carries
Avg Fumble every 87 carries
Avg Fumble lost every 112 carries

No way do i think Williams compares to Brown. The old Williams would but not the new.

Yeah Williams is better than Cobbs right now due to name, amount of carries and depth chart

I love Ricky Williams i just think he is too overrated as a 2 back lol

Ricky Wiliams is the RealDeal, the ProvenBull, the Monster of the Second Half.
a RB like Williams comes along once a decade & there is plenty of tread left on the tires. can't wait to see him run from behind a real OffensiveLine.
Run Ricky Run!
he is second to none:thanks:

This is a Forrest Gump Poll
Ricky had 160 rushes for 659 yrds
Ricky had 29 catches for 219 yrds 189 touches

Patrick had 12 rushes for 88 yrds 31 touches
Patrick had 19 catches for 275 yrds

Come on Kdog Cobbs is a third down change of pace back nothing more at this time...Who knows about the future?
