Is Ronnie Brown in better health (1 Viewer)

[ffldrew]

It seemed like there is a lot of speculation on his knee condition and that the Dolphins would shore that starting spot up - Dolphins did not take a RB and traded Booker to the Eagles. A good sign?

:sehorn:I really do not what Parcells was thinking but if this is the case then it makes more sense.

 

[Dolfan]

That 4th we got for Booker I hope we use to get Slaton!!

 

[Spark026]

All signs and comments that have come out indicate he's having a great recovery, and is a month or more ahead of schedule. That and Ricky must have finally passed a drug test !

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Could be. I just think Booker is very replaceable and they believe they can find a RB on PS, 6-7th round or off the street to replace what he does. And gain the 4th to address a position of greater need. (IMO not greatly worried about their RB situation with Ronnie/Ricky likely splitting. And I believer either/or can carry the load if need be.

I'm not a Booker fan either. He's a decent receiving back, but he hasn' shown the ability to pass block or run between the tackles

But Ricky is a Brewer and Shipley record away from trouble and it might be risky to rely on him to be the full time starter. Would a Slaton be good enough to be a starter in the NFL especially for Parcells in his first year? - one missed block and yikes(he's giving up 30+ pounds vs. Brown)

 

[Gatorman]

They also have cobb who played well when all of our RBs went down.

Booker is not a parcells type of player.

 

[Jason Wood]

This is kind of a loaded question because you're asking if he's in better healthy THAN WE THINK. My answer would be "No" because I expect that he'll be fully recovered and ready to run roughshod over the AFC East this year.

Ricky's probably passed a thousands drug tests. 3 times a week for several years? It's the ones he doesn't pass that are the problem.

Really? I think all signs point to this being a full blown time share with Brown assuming the Juliius role and Ricky the Barber.And that's with no setbacks.The guy to own in this equation is Ricky.

It may be someone else I am thinking about but Booker did have problems last year getting the playbook. I do see his wonderlic was an 18. The RB I am thinking about scored an 8. I thought it was Booker, it wasn't.

Dolphins | L. Booker impressing - from www.KFFL.comSat, 28 Jul 2007 11:55:12 -0700

Andy Kent, of MiamiDolphins.com, reports Miami Dolphins rookie RB Lorenzo Booker said he has spent time watching film on Atlanta Falcons RB Warrick Dunn, who he likes to compare himself to. He feels that size and weight doesn't matter. Booker measures in at 5-10 and 191 pounds but noted: "You don't have to be 230 pounds to carry the ball 20-25 times." He feels he was under utilized at Florida State and is willing to do whatever the coaching staff asks him to do. He said he is not only learning running back, he is also learning fullback because there will be times he is on the field at the same time as RB Ronnie Brown. His intelligence on the field has impressed head coach Cam Cameron, as he is able to pick things up quickly.

 

[Marc Levin]

As a phin fan, I have no clue where the Booker is not smart talk comes from.

As a Parcells supporter, I have no clue where the "he likes smart players" talk comes from.

Parcells likes TOUGH players with good football instincts.

With today's medical advancements an ACL tear is serious, but definitely something that athletes come back from. I guess I just picture Edge and Willis, and how they have produced following the surgery. I see Ronnie Brown doing just fine this year, especially adding a great run blocker with the 1.1 pick. I think Brown will continue where he left off.

The KFFL quote was from a rookie head coach months before the season mattered. Why on Earth would his citing Booker's intelligence matter one iota relative to whether the guy is anything more than a deep bench backup? What would've been shocking had Cameron taken Booker to task publicly; that's something you don't see much. They don't call it "coachspeak" for nothing.

This discussion has to do with Farveco calling Booker "extremely dumb".

 

[FF_Guru]

The other thing to consider as well, is that by Miami not drafting a RB, doesn't mean that they are pleased with their situation and depth there. But more that they need help at other positions much more than at RB. There is a reason they are drafting 1.1 this year.

Don't blame ya. I didn't really elaborate in the other thread, but I'm baffled as to why they Eagles would trade for him.

It had nothing to do with losing his QB to injury, RB to injury, backup RB being suspended, trading their #1 WR, and losing a HOF LB to a concussion. This on top of taking over a team that Saban didn't exactly stock with talent. Cameron gets the blame for all that?

The Dolphins tailback tandem of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams both carried the ball during Wednesday's organized team activity and appear on pace to participate in July's training camp.

Both tailbacks, which suffered season-ending injuries in 2007, worked with the first-team offensive line, but Brown had his participation limited during team drills that featured limited contact.

However, Brown made sharp cuts on the surgically-repaired right knee he injured against the Patriots back in October. It generally takes nine to 12 months for an ACL injury to fully heal and he seems on schedule.

 

[Timberlend]

Great news! Would you classify RB participating in the activities being ahead of schedule.

Can't believe he is out with the first team already
