News from May 13, 2008 http://rotoworld.com/content/features/column.aspx?sport=NFL&columnid=81&articleid=30360 Basically what we already knew I guess you could say. Your thoughts on the bold? Positive? Negative? Why?
I like the idea of Ronnie and Ricky getting a 50-50 on the carries in this offense. We all saw the report that said Ricky expects to play 2 more seasons before retireing, so why not try to give him 50-50 carries with Ronnie Brown. Also, if Brown is splitting carries with Ricky, not only will every time Ronnie touch the ball he will be 100%, but it will postpone his career. I absolutly love the idea of them splitting carries this year. The only thing bad about Ronnie and Ricky splitting carries is that Ronnie won't have as many fantasy points this year.
I'm in a keeper league and Im really tempted to take Ronnie in the 4-7 pick if he falls to me. Itll def be a tough first year though.
I would love to see Ronnie rack up some amazing stats because he IS very talented...but we are a better team with two capable backs.
coming off an ACL injury, you're generally not quite the same player until two years later, if at all. Splitting carries while Ronnie is 85-90% is not the worst idea in the world. Plus, it keeps his price down so we can resign him
Im hoping that for us this year, its not a 50-50 split. Id rather see ronnie getting more touches. After what he showed us last year, theres no reason to cut down his workload if he's healthy. Id rather see it about 65-35, or even 70-30 in favor of Ronnie.
agreed, let them split carries intil hes 100 percent confident in that knee, then lessen the workload for ricky to maybe 5 to 10 carries a game. A healthy Ronnie is a good amount better then this version of ricky.
