Miami Dolphins running back, Ricky Williams, had some unflattering things to say about his current head coach Tony Sparano.
“A team takes on the personality of the head coach,” Williams said. “I think the way we’re coached, Tony goes through a lot of effort to show us the things that it takes to win football games: not turning the ball over, converting third downs, scoring in the red zone. He spent a lot of time saying ‘If you do these things you win.’ Sometimes, I feel like he does it a little bit too much.
Of course Ricky probably doesn’t need to worry about running into Sparano in the near future. Odds are both will be gone this off-season.
Williams of course is a 34-year-old free agent running back. That should make him about as desirable as a 40-year-old Hollywood actress.
The reality for the Dolphins is, they should probably just blow up their entire backfield, dumping Williams, Chad Henne and Ronnie Brown.
Brown has given the Dolphins six seasons, but he’s only given them 1,000 yards rushing once (way back in 2006). Injuries have hampered his career and he’s been riding a reputation for a long time.
There are plenty of more productive free agent running backs out there, but personally I’d like to see them take Alabama’s Mark Ingram in the 2011 draft.
The 2009 Heisman winner should bring some fresh legs to a bad Fins offense.
