Isn\'t Whodatsaintsfan26 a moderator and if that\'s correct, can you moderate this little weekly pic thing. Kinda formalize the informal. Could I suggest you drop a percentage on us as well so it can be interesting to newbies as well. I think that would jazz up things a bit. Great idea again Saintz08. You da man.

That pulling Rickys runs thought , makes sense but can they do it ?

Miami has a 1 game lead over Buffalo , if all things continue in this manner . I go to weeks 13-17 and see Miami playing ,
13. In Buffalo - potential bad weather , running game is needed .
14. Chicago - they need a running game there to open the pass .
15 Oakland - running needed to open the pass here .
16 Minnesota - Ricky can rest here .
17. Here is the all mighty important game , in New England with more potential foul weather .

I cannot see how Miami pulls Ricky from running and stays in these games , if no one bites on the play action pass then they will be limiting their offense against some good opponents . Not to mention the plow horse pounding for a few extra yards in the mud .

Hey my take is this. With Fiedler out and Lucas doing a poor job. They gotta put the ball in Ricky\'s hands. Works for us and against us. For us he gets more carries. Against us everyone knows he gets more carries. If Fiedler returns or Lucas improves enough to keep defenses honest I expect Rickey to get to the mark. As you said, Miami can\'t afford to not run him.

That\'s the best part about this .

Fiedler out for 4 weeks makes Ricky the go to guy , so he puts up some yardage totals .
Then weeks 13-17 the Dolphins face New England and Buffalo in potential bad weather conditions which favor the run and the defenses they face are Buffalo\'s which currently is the 4th worst and New Englands which is currently the 7th worst at stopping the run . Chicago is not to far away from these rankings either . As long as Ricky is healthy , I do not see how they can avoid giving him the ball . Especially if Lucas plays badly in the next 4 games , they may be coming from behind .
