honestly if they dump him that would be stupid....he can be a good back up and what if ricky gets hurt again which is very possible, but god willing now going to happen
I can't believe they would do that. Other than some injury issues, Brown has put up some really good numbers. He had 600 yards in only 7 games last year.
I think this is more about Brown than Rickie. Rickie has replaced Brown on the starting depth chart. Brown is due 3.5 million in base this year. If they cut him they can find a youn gster who had a great camp and didn't quite make the cut and pay him much less. Brown is an unknown quantity to the public at this point, but the Dolphins appear to be telling us that he is done.
The thing is, he's not an unknown quantity. He's averaged 4 and a half yards a carry for his career, and was averaging over 5 halfway through last season. His 2 big problems have been staying healthy and the Dolphins not using him properly.
If they are contemplating getting rid of him, that injury must have really affected his performance.
This report is coming from Chris Mortensen so take it with a grain of salt. Parcells likes to plant things in the media through his little buddies to try to motivate guys.
Last season Brown didn't even start Game 1. That lasted about 5 minutes, and then he lit up the NFL with a great first half. He must suck as a camp guy. This is vintage Parcells.
