Ronnie Brown Looks Good

And when I say that, I'm not referring to how handsome he is (though we at TSFF have every reason to believe he's physically good-looking as well).

No, the basis of this report comes from the ever-dependable FinsNation. According to The Dude, Ronnie Brown is well on his way to recovery. His eloquent words for what might happen against the Jets:

"And he's gonna run all over their asses, blow right through their DBs and LBs like a cannon ball, rip off their helmets with their heads still in them and FedEx them to Bob Sutton's home, take a dump in Eric Mangini's mouth, rip off Calvin Pace's arm and beat Vernon Gholston to death with it, and go up into the stands and shove Fireman Ed's hat so far up his ass, they'll need the jaws of life to go in and pry it out."

That's certainly an optimistic viewpoint, and yet I agree. Do you all remember just how dominating he was in the first few games? The Dolphins were actually gaining yards at that time (just blowing every game by 3 points or less), and he was a top top fantasy back. Those days could be back again. I'm excited.

Dolphins RBs Looking Good

Here's a quick update on the Dolphins RB situation. As many of you recall, the two-man force of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams was dominant a couple years ago, but various "off the field" problems sidelined Ricky Williams, while Ronnie Brown suffered a torn ACL. Here's an update on their progress:

Phinsider tells us that Ronnie Brown is ahead of schedule in his recovery. This from the Sun-Sentinel:

"Ronnie is way ahead of schedule. He spoke to the rookies at the recent minicamp and they were impressed by Brown's size, particularly, Jalen Parmele. With an ACL, you never know how complete the rehab is until he starts cutting. He still has more than two months before he has to face that."

I find that very encouraging.

As for the more mercurial of the two (and by that, I mean Ricky Williams of course), there's good news on that front too. As FinsNation informs in a way only he can (lashing out at Jets fans):

"Jets fans better be on their guard because I'm gonna show up and verbally kick them out of other people's houses! They cannot stop me or Ricky with conventional doucheyness. Their doucheyness has no power over us! Their doucheyness only makes us stronger!!! Bring it on, I say!

So, yea, Ricky is looking strong."

Great stuff. I can't wait to see the two-headed monster in action again. Maybe Ricky can even give Ronnie some of his weed to ease the pain.

Just a Thought...

As the Dolphins continue to draft, I can't help but wonder where the 'fins are going to get their points from. There's the so-far unimpressive John Beck or Chad Henne calling the plays. Ronnie Brown should be back, but healthy? He remains to be their one, lone threat. Ricky Williams will be back, for a few weeks anyways until he remembers he's Ricky Williams and disappears into the Amazon. Ted Ginn, Jr. is their biggest threat at WR, and he didn't exactly stand out in his rookie year. Behind Ginn on the depth chart is Greg Camillaro, Derick Hagan, David Kircus, Tab Perry, and Ernest Wilford. Not exactly a yellow brick road to the endzone.

I think its clear Parcells wants to build up front. But even if you give Beck (or Henne, or McCown) 10 mississippi's, if no one's open he's gonna be in trouble. I'm a little nervous that defenses will simply stuff 8 or 9 in the box to stop Ronnie and force the Dolphins to beat them through the air. I would have loved to seen Miami take an Early Ducett or Mario Manningham or Andre Caldwell in the 3rd round. We'll see what is left for the 'fins in the last few rounds.
