Sparano loves him

"I just think he's got a knack for figuring out a way to get the first down," coach Tony Sparano said. "The one thing he is is he's physically a very strong guy.

So does Ronnie

"It's exciting to run behind him," running back Ronnie Brown said. "We've had guys in and out at that position and it's exciting to have him because he doesn't care about the extracurricular stuff like running the ball, but he does a great job getting the first down. He's so excited about being in there, so it's exciting to run behind him."

But its not as easy as it looks

The fullback position is surprisingly pressure-filled, Polite says, because maintaining possession hangs in the balance.

In Polite's game of inches, every step counts."We wouldn't go for it unless we really needed it. All I care about is moving those chains," Polite said. "Give the offense another set of downs to work with, give the defense some rest ... I better get it. That's it. Don't stop until you hear the whistle because you don't know how close you are when they spot the ball."

Sunday Brown, Williams, Cobbs & Polite will be the difference in the game.

If he did NOT get the first down, it wouldn't be very Polite of him. (sorry, couldn't help myself)
