Congrats to two former Dolphins. When they were at their best they were fantastic! And, a joy to watch them play on the Dolphins. Would love to see Zach make it to the NFL HOF. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000455726/article/ricky-williams-among-the-17-chosen-for-cfb-hall-of-fame
I truly Miss the RICKSTER and the ZACHSTER when we had both guys we were fun to watch and I don't understand why Espn promotes the guy from Chicago and all these other linbackers but not Zach he is very much deserving of the Hall of fame . why are Richmond Webb and Keith Sims not canidates ? I think Tim Bowens and Richmond Webb should have been mentioned because they helped Marino put up those numbers . and how is it Dan can put up great numbers but he had to have some deserving wide receivers to help him put up those numbers. the ZACHSTER definitely belongs in the HOF .
Close haha I hope we get some more young blood back there... but back on topic... Zach Thomas was definitely one of the best to play in the uniform. Sucked to see him finish out elsewhere. Ricky will always be an idiot.
He is anything but. Living in the Austin area, he is on the local sports radio a fair bit. He just got burnt by Wanny. He is a prime example of why we should not touch Demarco Murray. I forsee a similar drop in his career as well.
True about Murray...hes been a lot more injury prone then RW ever was. However also had the high usage rate totals that RW had until this year. RW's usage, especially under Wanny was absurd.
I would take Zach Thomas over Urlacher any day. Urlacher was a very good player, with a lot of raw talent (size, speed) but I never sensed, watching both play, that he was the player that Zach was. I don't think he was as instinctive or as pure a tackler.
Agreed. If Wanny had a clue as to how to handle people and had not run Ricky into the ground - it would have turned out differently. Saban actually did a good job with Ricky and when he (R) matured, he was a much different person. Ricky wasn't an "idiot" - he was just finding his way in life and had some social anxiety and other challenges to overcome. He's actually done a lot for a lot of young people since his retirement.
