He slightly injured himself this past weekend and I'm curious if there's been any news on his status. I was told he also lost an offensive lineman Sunday. Is this true? The line has been horrid thus far so I'm not sure how much this could hurt them...

I've got a trade offer out there so suddenly all the Ronnie Brown news I've ignored over the past few weeks has become relevant. :bag:

Jeff Darlington, Miami Herald - [Full Article]

He injured himself early in the 1st Quarter. Once he came back in he had a great game. It didn't seem to be bothering him.

 
(KFFL) Miami Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown (groin) is expected to play Week 11 after aggravating a groin injury Week 10.

This came out on Mon.

Brown will also be facing the #1 rushing D this week.
I don't think its the case of the number 1 rushing defense, but that Minny has a terrible passing defense. Look no further than how New England passed the entire game and picked them apart.Similar to saying the Raiders have a strong passing defense....it just looks that way cause everyone runs on them all day.I am not saying that Minny doesnt have a good rushing defense but that it looks better on paper than it actually is because of the number of times teams pass on them.

I agree that MIN defense is better on paper b/c their pass defense is like a sieve. But, what will prevent Miami from taking advantage of the weak passing defense and throw more down the field just like everyone else? I'd temper my expectations for Ronnie this week.

It's the same in fantasy football if your RB doesn't get points, right? That's the same issue with Indy's pass D, right? If passing is easy then why strain Brown? Of course, when they get to the goalline Brown gets the ball.

Granted I'm a Dolphins fan, and the line had been horrible at the beginning of the season, but they had really improved their play the last couple weeks. After the bye week and before the Bears game, the Dolphins made some major position switches at the line, (like moving LJ Shelton inside to guard, which he had never played before) just to get their five best guys on the field at once. It actually looks like it has been working as the past two games he has had some decent holes to run through.Jeno James did hurt himself and will miss some time. He was replaced by Kendyl Jacox, who did OK on Sunday but is not as good. There is a possibility that Tunoi Fonoti who was just signed as a FA might get some action as well. Ronnie, meanwhile, is a tough guy and should continue to play through whatever minor pain he is experiencing.

Joey Harrington, thats what.

You make a pretty good argument...This could be a 6-9 game we are looking at. God knows my Vikes don't like offensive TDs.I have Brown too and would love to start him but am considering other options. Some of them named Barlow!

I am a Dolphins homer and a Brown owner so take it with a grain of salt but....The running game is starting to gel, I am starting Brown with confidience, unless he is OUT.

When push comes to shove I will probably start him too. I drafted him for a reason. How cruel would it be to watch him kill the Vikes and not get credit.

I own bell and he's riding the pine as well. But Freddy on MNF at home against the reeling and injury riddled GMen sounds like a tempting matchup to at least consider.

Tempting, but Drew leeches TD's. And I have confidence in Brown, look what he did to the Bears.

I'm glad you brought up the Bears game, because it raises an interesting point or two. Miami was clearly jacked up for that game like nothing we've seen since late 2005. That Miami team played out of their minds on both sides of the ball for 4 quarters (especically Jason Taylor, who was simply unblockable). Unless the Bears were looking at film from last year, they had no way to know what was about to hit them. The logical explanation is the the '72 Dolphins had a lot to do with the inspired play. I have learned my lesson and would never pick against the Phins vs. any undefeated team (after week 6 or so). Of course, the most memorable game of this sort was 1985, and we all know what transpired in that 38-24 MIA victory on MNF for the Bears only loss on the season (could have been the best SB ever but the Pats intervened). Week 17 (Miami vs. Indy) will be one of the biggest regular season games in league history if Indy waltzes in at 15-0. In that event, I'm almost certain Miami will win the game. Just a strong feeling that they will want to preserve the perfect season more that the Colts will want to remain undefeated. I have no idea what the '72 players say, but it works like a charm every time.Anyway, Miami is not a very good team this year, and Ronnie is suffering due to poor OL play, a very mediocre QB, and other reasons that are not really his fault. Miami won the Bears game to preserve history. As a Bear fan, you just saw that look in their eyes from the first snap and knew it was trouble. That game screams anomaly.

Yeah, the only reason they won was to preserve a record they had nothing to do with setting....Now that they have done that they are going to let up..... except against KC.... but other than that they are going to roll over. :rolleyes:
 
IMO, the Bears run defense is not their bright spot, whereas the Vikes run defense is their ONLY bright spot. Yes I agree, the Vikes run defense might be #1 due to the fact that teams can pass all over them, but they are still damn tough to run on. I think Ronnie will be seeing the bench this weekend, and Dillon will get the start.

 
Lets get back on topic and focus on Ronnies crotch. Groin injuries are never good for an RB. Any updates?

 
Morris or Minor?

Who would be the #1 if this injury lingers. Groins can be like hammys sometimes.

 
Obviously something to watch:

Dolphins | Brown misses practice Wednesday

Wed, 15 Nov 2006 11:16:50 -0800

Greg Bedard, of the Palm Beach Post, reports Miami Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown (groin) missed practice Wednesday, Nov. 15.

 
From the coach

Ronnie Brown has been fighting a groin injury and that slowed him a little bit, especially in the second half yesterday. We’re going to have to manage that through the course of this week and see where that takes us.

I wonder how long he has been fighting this??

More on Brown

(Rotoworld) Ronnie Brown sat out practice Wednesday because of his groin pull.

Impact: Brown was on the sideline on a stationary bike. It's not surprising that the Dolphins would rest Brown early in the week. He's likely to be listed as questionable, and his owners will just have to watch practice reports this week. He finished last week's game, which is a good sign

 
The line has been horrid thus far so I'm not sure how much this could hurt them...
There is a possibility that Tunoi Fonoti who was just signed as a FA might get some action as well.
This didnt get a lot of attention, but its an interesting situation. Fonoti played for Hudson Houck in San Diego in his "leaner" days. With Jeno James injured and the Phins OL once again an area of weakness, Fonoti may actually get a look at some point this year.
