    If I were a betting man I would bet that Ricky plays, maybe not a ton, but some.

    I just want to see Gado, and Booker in there, and not Cobbs. I say Ricky gets 10 or so carries.

    I would like to see Booker get some more action, and yeah, I could see 10 or so for Ricky. He is a serious upgrade over Chatman as a receiver as well. Not as good as Ronnie but still a heck of a receiver out of the backfield. Didn't he lead our team in catches one year under Wanny?

    I am not sure bro. I don't know if you are aware of it or not, but Ronnie and Chatman have been averaging over 5 yards a carry. Chatman has been doing a great job in my book. He is also playing special teams. I am not sure on your Wanny question. I think we are very lucky to have Chatman.:)

    I'm glad to have him too, runs very hard and gives everything he has....... Just not a very good receiver.

    Its a shame but I doubt he will be back next year. I think he is on a one year deal and with the way he has played somebody will probably give him some decent change over the off-season.

    Cobbs this year is doing better then I thought. He is 11 carries for 37 yards and a 3.4 average with 1 TD. Chatman is 85 carries for 392 yards and a 4.6 average with 1 TD.

    I hope that Chatman comes back next year, due to the fact if Ronnie is slow to heal from his injury, along Williams status with the team is unnone.

    I'm not sure why people are down on Cobbs, he ran well in preseason and simply has not had any carries. Cam tedns to use only one back during the game a little too much for me, First it was ronnie playing 98% of the snaps then it was Chatman. I think the 2nd back should be in at least 10-15% of the time just to give the starter some rest. We used to have packages for Sammy Morris and even T.Minor had a few plays a game on 3rd down, which is where Booker was supposed to step in.

    With Chatman being nicked up it seems a perfect time to ride Ricky Williams for all he is worth. He might not be able to walk next week but I bet with his fresh legs Ricky could drop 150 yards on the Steelers.

    Then mix some Chatman, Cobbs and L.Booker in the mix. We run that play action pass to the RB 6-9 times per game, L. Booker could be catching some of those.

    bro I just haven't seen a lot out of Cobbs. Perhaps he shows that I am wrong on Monday Night.:)

    LUG... I agree with running Ricky hard... I hope he turns out 700 - 800 yards in the last 6 games... Then we put his arse on the trading block for a low draft pick. Like a 6th or 7th rounder...

    I hope they play Ricky

    Ricky has been doing these same plays his whole life. Get football, run that way. Basic stuff at that position for someone with his skills. You don’t teach the thing he is best at. He did play eleven games last year so it isn’t like he was out of football, either. He is something of a basket case, not to be counted on to keep it together long term, but he is a phenom of a running back. Always was, and will no doubt show the same vision that made him great. He was always a slow starter, like a lot of backs. He’s getting paid basically the minimum, you can only hope to trade him for another prospective minimum wage player, so I say just keep him and milk it for everything you can get until the next failed drug test. That’s all you get. Ricky ran for 1,853 yards for us, remember? That’s more than LaDainian Thomlinson got (1,815) for Cam in San Diego. If this offensive line can make holes, Ricky will put a smile on our faces for a few games. Run Ricky run!!!
