Coach Tuesday Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Anyone else watch last night? I know there has been a lot of hype this offseason about Williams being in the best shape of his life, etc. etc., but I was not at all impressed watching him last night. Not only is he leaner (having less power as a result), but he seems to have developed a case of "happy feet." Granted, the Dolphins' line didn't seem to be opening too many holes (although Sammy Morris was able to find some holes), but Williams seemed just to be dancing rather than bursting through the LOS. I always thought that what made RW special was his quickness to the line - he seems to have lost all of that, at least for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to his amazing personal growth he found in his spiritual travels, he will be able to simply levitate over the line of scrimmage once the regular season starts.

Reuben Gant Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Just wait until he starts hitting holes with all his chakras aligned, it will leave LB's saying OMV (Oh my Vishnu). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I don't think Williams will be much of a factor this year. The Dolphins O-Line looked pretty bad overall last night. I was kind of impressed with David Boston though. He looked a little lighter and quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I was kind of impressed with David Boston though. He looked a little lighter and quicker. 402621[/snapback] It's early - he's due for an injury any day now. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Unless the dolphins have the 2nd coming of Jim Brown waiting in the wings I'm not worried. Their oline is the worst in the league and they've done nothing to improve it. Their secondary is also pretty bad now that pat surtain isn't there, and yeah boston does look lighter and quicker, but he's gotta prove he can stay healthy.

gantrules Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Ricky Williams not being a factor? Why because he smoked some pot? OMG I've heard it all......don't put too much weight in preseason football or scrimmage. I start the scoring when week 1 actually comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Ricky Williams not being a factor? Why because he smoked some pot? OMG I've heard it all...... No, because he hasn't played in nearly two years. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 He's got four more preseason games to work it out. I wouldn't be concerned if I was a Phin fan. Besides, he's history once that rookie gets going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Run forward, cut left, cut right, find a hole. not that difficult if you've been doing it your entire life. It's not like that knowledge just escapes you. And Ricky is enlightened so I doubt he's going to have a hard time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkyMannn Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I thought when RW walked away from the game he was looking at a one year suspension for drugs. So he retires, comes back, and only gets 4 games. How can that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
envirojeff Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 The biggest problem for him that I see is that he has to sit......by himself......for 4 weeks......being tested every 30 min......and NOT smok pot. Not possible! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
