I think you got it in reverse. Ricky ranks 32 out of 37 in fumbling - there are 5 players who fumble LESS than Ricky (with 500+ carries). #1 on this list is the player who fumbles the most (the lowest fumbles per carry average, which means he's a fumbling machine as every nth carry he's a fumblin').

...right?

Not if the numbers quoted are correct. It says Ricky fumbles once every 55 carries, while Ronnie fumbles once every 95 carries. I.e. Ricky fumbles almost twice as often (per carry) as Ronnie.

Not the way I would have made the list, but apparently the way it is.

Well I was gonna say that I thought he reversed the players on the list, Ronnie being 32nd and Ricky being 21st, but the more I look at the numbers for some players, the less likely that would appear.  It does look like Ricky is a fumbling Machine with 40 fumbles over his carreer.  That's pretty high comparing him to some other backs with a lot of carries.

What's really scary is that one of those 5 would seem to be Adrian Peterson with around 1 fumble per 50 attempts and another would be Reggie Bush with around 1 in 38 attempts.  I guess you pay for all those crazy things Bush does.

Note to Sparano, give the Ball to Ronnie near the goal line from now on, either goal line.

I believe you have it correct, yes
