Overrated Summer Storyline
Ah, the adventures of Ricky and Ronnie. We've had fun following these two from summer workouts in shorts to training camp battles. Stocks have risen, stocks have fallen. And for what?
Through two games, Ricky's numbers : 21 carries 52 yards and five catches for 16 yards. And three fumbles!
Ronnie Brown: 17 carries, 48 yards, one garbage time touchdown and five catches for 47 yards.
I may be winning my personal Ronnie vs. Ricky bet with an unnamed Rotoworld write, but what's the point? This team could run the ball better when Cam Cameron was in town. What in the name in Hudson Houck getting fired is going on around here? I'm not lucid enough at this hour to answer my own rhetorical questions. Thank you all.

underrated storyline -- Cutler is the next great QB
Nice call on this one Gregg, at least for 2 games. He drove me nuts last year, but I may just ride him to a league championship

I have both Ricky and Ronnie sitting on my roster as rb4 and rb5. I was thinking about dumping Ricky and picking up Michael Bush. What would you do?

Ricky is a pot-head that is just there for the paycheck... he should not be starting. Ronnie is by far the better back; should be starting, and should be getting at least 15-20 carries a game. I am holding on to Ronnie in hopes that the management in Miami will figure out, which is obvious already, that Ronnie should be starting. Just look at what he was doing last season before getting hurt.

I drafted Ricky Williams for bench duty and the hope he would breakout this season, but I'm fairly certain I will release him this week. I almost dumped him last week, but thought I'd give him one more chance. He's just not worth the bench slot.

I hope Miami's management wake up and give Ronnie the props he deserve. Last year's injury isn't even on the table anymore as he has proven that he's rehabilitated. I'm not a fan of the Dolphins but I am really not liking how they treat the only true work horse on the team...
