Ronnie brown

I can not believe you're using some made-up stat to prove Ronnie Brown sucks.  Defensive Yards above replacement?

Last I checked, Ronnie's Replacement is Ricky Williams.  Who wants to know why his "DYAR" is low.

Come back when you can use something real like yards per carry, or rushing td's per game to support your increasingly weak argument.

This has to be some sort of level.

DYAR isn't some "made up" stat...it is actually one of the better ones to look at for this sort of player valuing.

That said, stats never tell the whole story...even stats with good reputations.

Ronnie Brown is a very talented RB, one who can do anything you ask of a RB, run between the tackles, run to the edge, catch the ball, pass block...everything. As our young O-line develops and executes more cohesively as a unit, I believe Ronnie's value will become more apparent, and our running game will become more successful.

I still think Tepop is watching old footage of JB Brown.

You cannot separate a running back statistic from the line he runs behind. It doesn't matter if you use ypc, touchdowns per game, overall yards or DYAR (which looks at the "value" of each individual run and adjusts for the defense).

I took a closer look at a good number of running plays from this weekends game and I was surprised at how poorly our line did. There was not a single running play that I looked closely at where at least one guy didn't make a BIG mistake. Even the runs that were succesful had someone clearly screwing up. Maybe I'll draw up some of the plays along with comments if I get the time.

That said, I think Ronnie's been "dancing" a bit too much recently. I started noticing this 3-4 games ago and it hasn't gotten better.

Overall, however, the problems with our running game is NOT R&R.

Another great game from Ronnie today  10 carries for 39 yards.  MVP MVP MVP!!!

And scored a key TD late in the game.  Ricky got the bulk of the carries today.  Quit harping on Ronnie.

  Shut up, tool.  Once again, when the team needed a TD in the 4th quarter who got the ball?  It was Ronnie Brown.  That puts him at 9 TD's for the season, as well.

Why wouldn't he get the majority of carries.  would you rather have 8 yards a carry or 4.  seems pretty simple to me.

Look, Ronnie is not going to end up the Hall of Fame, and he's not going to be considered in the class of  Walter Payton or Emmitt Smith  when his career is over. But Ronnie Brown is a good player who helps the team win and does positive things for the Dolphins. That's good enough for me.

lol tds are such an overrated stat.  He doesn't move the team into the redzone, but he does benefit from a lot of redzone carries.

[Tenshot13]

^ and how many teams...including the phins last year...don't get TD's in the redzone?  And would I rather have 8ypc or 4ypc?  Tell you what, I'll take both.

  I can't believe what I just read.  Here, this is for you.  TD's an overrated stat?  That's hilarious.

With all the anti-Ronnie Brown posts, I'm beginning to think Tepop is related to SpongeBob.
