Looking at the highlights of Ronnie back in 08 against N.E., the first time we pulled out the wildcat. RB looked like a completely different back. Injuries have taken their toll, he'll be gone next year.

Probably.

RB is a patient runner who waits for his blocks to develop, Miami interior line has been mess in run blocking, so I feel that is why he hasn't had much success this year. RW has done better, because he is more of a one cut and go.

He may be on the decline, but I wouldn't be surprise if has success else where in the league.

He will sign with the Patriots, where they will take advantage of his exceptional skills as a receiver out of the backfield. Bank on it. He won't get a lot of carries, but he will catch a lot of passes in that offense.

he'll kill us for the next 4 years with the pats

We need to sign both (RB and RW), then trade both for draft picks, even if they are late round picks.

Take a page out of the patsies draft scheme.


I would feel ok with Hilliard, Sheets, a rookie, and maybe a FA vet, on teh roster going into nex season.

Plus, signing and trading those guys would ensure we are in control of where they go.

pretty sure you can't sign a FA and then trade him right away in the nfl.
we all need to face facts, both ricky and ronnie are now average at best RBs (RW is better at this point). We could get any number of RBs in the draft or even in FA who would be better. time to move on

I thought the CHargers were going to sign VIncent Jackson, then trade him?

I could be wrong, but I though I remember that talk all season when he was sitting out.

It would be nice to even have a 2nd round pick, but....


too bad we dont have one.

RESPONSE: Precisely! This stupid management simply does not know the strengths of each player. Ronnie's strength is as a receiver out of the backfield and a straight ahead runner when he is healthy.

Ricky's strength is as an outside runner.

This stupid management will invariably run Ricky up the middle and Ronnie on the outside.

The one out of the backfield pass they threw to Ronnie yesterday was a success.


Ricky is hell to bring down outside the tackles and in open space. But they run him up the middle where he is likely to fumble.
