Re: Ricky Williams should rush for............

You must really like him to give him that much.

Re: Ricky Williams should rush for............

Interesting logic.

So then...how many yards will Ricky Ray throw for? How many receiving yards will Jason Tucker have?

Re: Ricky Williams should rush for............

I hope Ricky averages more touchdown passes than in preseason......heck, the entire team too by that logic....

Ricky will be just fine and then some (if they figure out how to use him properly) I expect him to be between 1800-2000 yards by year end.....

Re: Ricky Williams should rush for............

lol...

If they ever get it together, i'm sure he'll break 1200 for sure

I don't think Ricky can lead the league in Rushing, but he'll be 3rd or 4th, and that's coming from a huge Ricky fan.

I am not a huge Ricky fan.....you know that numbers, and I still can acknowledge that he is a special talent that could indeed win the rushing title......

This is not to disrespect the CFL in the least though, I've always thought he could win the NFL title as well......except that Ladanian Tomlinson plays there and is even better......(now Reggie Bush too )

Re: Ricky Williams should rush for............

Yes, we can all take everything we saw in pre-season to the bank.....

In his prime, he could easily win the title in either league. He's had a year off and didn't have all the power he used to last year, and he's smaller. It might not hurt him in the CFL as much as it did the NFL, but he won that NFL rushing title because he broke tackles, dropped the shoulder, and fought for every yard. That's the Ricky I'm a fan of, but that's not the Ricky I saw last year. That said, I sure as hell hope he can return to his previous form, because it'll fun as hell to watch.

Re: Ricky Williams should rush for............

I think his performance in the CFL is going to be a huge eye-opener for fans of the NFL. He isn't going to do well here as he doesn't have any of the fat NFL guys blocking other fat NFL guys and thus he will have trouble running around all the athletes the CFL has.

In the NFL all he had to do was outrun a refrigerator on a small field. In the CFL he won't have that luxury.

He'll finish 7th or 8th in rushing. Perhaps lower.

Re: Ricky Williams should rush for............

Its surely a different game, but if he can recognize that, then as a hard working athlete, he should be able to learn and adjust himself to the new game. Just like Ray adjusted to a huge field from a wee little arena field - or any other American player coming up here. The difference - RW has only one year to get it going.

Ricky won't play the whole season. That's my prediction.

Must resist the urge to.......

I said that is a previous thread. He'll get in trouble.

Re: Ricky Williams should rush for............

What I can't believe is that some out in the sports media are predicting a 2000 yard season. I just don't see it.
