I don't root against anyone who lines up for the Miami Dolphins.
Do I support it? No. Absolutely not. The move is potentially destructive on so many levels and I don't have time to name them all.
I welcomed Cecil Collins to the team. Jim Druckenmiller, Dimitrius Underwood, Clayton Holmes, Larry Shannon, Troy Drayton, Robert Baker, Kenny Mixon as well. Reclamation projects are fine with me, but this goes much deeper. Had Ricky Williams quit another team and landed on ours, fine. But he didn't. He quit MY team and it resulted in the worst start in franchise history. When fans demanded a simple explanation, he told us to stay out of his life. NOW he's trying to crawl back to earn more drug money? No thanks.
Ricky Williams cited his "overuse" as a major reason for quitting. The same guy who DEMANDED to be THE GUY of the offense as a 30-35 touch/game back suddenly DIDNT WANT THE BALL ANYMORE. Odd. OK, Ricky was pounded in 2002 and 2003 and Wanny understood that. To that end, he acquired a completely new offensive cast (David Boston, Marty Booker, Sammy Morris, Jeno James, A.J. Feeley, Vernon Carey) in an attempt to take the pressure off of Ricky Williams. Wanny's effort was certainly there to lessen Ricky's workload.. and didn't we feel pretty damn excited about our offense in mid-July? Ricky was asked "Who would you like to play for if you come back?" in late September. His response? "The Oakland Raiders." For Norv Turner. The same coordinator who ran him into the ground in Miami.
He's garbage and I sincerely hope this falls through.
