Cadillac, Benson and Brown

by Dolphriend on Jul 19, 2008 10:00 AM EDT

Remember whe the 3 top running backs of the 2005 draft? I remember quie a heated debate of which the Dolphins should take and why. Well with Caddy sitting out on IR for the entire 2008 season and Benson jettisoned from the Bears an unemployed and maybe out for the year himself via Goodell for his drinking and behavior problems.

Let's compare 3 year Stats (Williams and Brown had almost identical # of carries and Benson played more games than Brown)

yds/carry avg Brown 4.4, Williams 3.8, Benson 3.8

Recieving yds Brown 897, Williams 294, Benson 180

TD's Brown 13, Williams 10, Benson 10

Williams and Benson were less productive each consecutive year, while Bown was more productive consecutive each year, on pace his 3rd year to have a monster year (leading the league in YFS).

For once, I think we can now say, we actually picked the right draft pick in the 2005 draft.

yea but there are a lot of other factors involved

Cadillac’c career may be over with that awful injury that he suffered over a year ago. Plus, with Thomas Jones on the Bears at that point, Cedric Benson, didn’t get near the amount of carries he needed to get acclimated to the NFL game. Ronnie, while i agree is head and shoulders above the rest, played in run-dominated offenses, and really got the chance to develope behind Ricky, and then eventually take over for him.

We all saw a glimpse of what his ability was last year, and that was again behind a make shift offensive line. I’d love to see what he could do when healthy and running behind this youth movement.

Now is the time- the time to rise up from the depths of Hell and stake our claim back on top of the AFC East...Look out Gaytriots here comes Jake Long and the Phins
