No news, but some speculation about Ronnie Brown's injury [updated]

PrintDolphins Head Coach Tony Sparano just finished his day-after press conference. The first thing he was asked, of course, was about Ronnie Brown and his ankle injury. Sparano said that he has undergone tests but that they are still "gathering information" and should know more about it sometime tonight.
Meanwhile, FOX Sports' Jay Glazer tweets that it's not just an ankle injury bothering Ronnie:
ronnie brown's ankle injury is actually not what team is most concerned with. he also has a foot injury that has them worried
This is the first we've heard about any kind of foot injury. We know that Brown was seen leaving the stadium yesterday on crutches. But we also know that x-rays came back negative. But the results of his MRI from today - and any other test he may have undergone - aren't known to this point.
Armando Salguero does add that Brown was still on crutches today - but was not in a protective boot. He was wearing sneakers.
We should know more by tomorrow, but I certainly am not optimistic about Brown being available for Thursday. Sparano did say that if Ronnie is unavailable for Thursday night's game, Lex Hilliard will need to be prepared to carry the ball.
[UPDATE: Because the Dolphins play on Thursday, the NFL requires them to put out an injury report - even if the team didn't actually practice. Ronnie Brown is listed on the report that the Dolphins put out on Monday night. But he's not listed with an ankle injury - he's listed with a foot injury.
Meanwhile, on his weekly radio spot in South Florida, Brown said that while he can't get into too much detail about his injury - per team rules - he can say that nothing is broken and that there is swelling and he's waiting on the swelling to do down. But he seemed to be in good spirits - so that's good.]

interesting
I suppose if he keeps his mout shut it would lean towards that being true. If they just benched him without warning then I’d imagine he’d have something sarcastic to say.
I’m not a twitter guy but I’d be curious to see if Peezy is and if he sid anything during that time frame.

If the Phins don't run successfully Thur, they lose!
Carolina applies good QB pressure and there secondary fast to the ball, and one of the best in the league. Their biggest vulnerability is run defense. With their offense clicking the last few weeks, the Dolphins have to run successfully and chew up the clock.

I noticed that the Saints seemed to have great sucess running in their comeback.

So did the Burner yesterday, until Carolina jacked up his leg
Really though, Ronnie Brown being out is about the best thing that could happen to the Panthers.

Maybe
or it could be the best thing for Henne in his young career, not having an RB as a crutch.

We need to get delhomme feeling un comfortable
I’ve noticed every time he is sacked multiple times and feels pressure he just airs out the ball to oposing secondaries
Do our recievers exist? Ginn crawls out the hole, Bess is stumbling but hope is not lost.
Gibril i like you and imma let you finish the season but, Ed Reed is the best safety of all time, of all time!!
Jake is a risk taker
Like most QBs he doesn’t throw as well under pressure… But throughout his career his problem has been that he tries to force a throw instead throwing it away or taking a sack. This year with all the early INTs, he’s been much more careful with the ball. And last week his chemistry with Muhammad and all-pro Steve Smith looked like the old days. Your 27th ranked pass defense should probably be more worried than hopeful.

You seem to forget that Ricky Is a Beast with the ball
Ricky can easily go 20-25 touches thursday and have a big day. Im not worried about RIcky at all. Actually i hope they underestimate him. And he can catch jut as well as Ronnie. Hes just like Ronnie except he doesnt dance around he bruises people.
But i really hope they go back to traditional run football. I formation, things like that. Keep the wild cat at a minimal. 3 to 4 plays max. Just pound the ball threw the middle with Polite blocking and keep Chad Henne in the game let him get his rythm and run some play action. And give more reps to Sperry, wake, anderson for god sakes. If they produce keep them the fuck in.
heck yeah I agree
I guess everyone forgot about the ol’ heisman trophy winner, ricky is no joke, I feel bad for the DBs who try to go str8 up with him. Polite has been the WALL blocking FREAK, man this guy can block, hes one of the reasons why we always get a first down on 3rd and 4th situations. I am for giving more reps to our future ie: WAKE, Sperry, anderson…..with so many people injured WHY IN THE HELL CAN WE NOT ACTIVATE TURNER YET??

We activated him last game I thought..
Didn’t get in the game I assume? Seems somewhat far away in terms of contributing to this team.

Well run defense is the Panthers biggest weakness
You better just hope the old man’s arthritis does flare up, because Jon Beason will be looking to knock his dentures out ;)

Hey Soxoff......
Couldn’t agree more……. well said…
One day Miami will return to dominance....but how long do we have to wait for that?? GO PHINS !!!!!!!!!
Oh and after the Carolina game we get more days for our team to rest up and prepare for our last 2 division games
Do our recievers exist? Ginn crawls out the hole, Bess is stumbling but hope is not lost.
Gibril i like you and imma let you finish the season but, Ed Reed is the best safety of all time, of all time!!
I'm pretty excited
to watch Hilliard play. Dude is a beast!
I was thinking the same,..........
Plus do not sleep on Ricky Williams, dude is not done yet !!!!!!!

Run Ricky like they do with Benson at Cinci!!!!!!!!! LIsten to me COaches
Thats the kind of running i want to see. That suits Ricky best since hes carrying the this time. And i really hope they let Ricky play man. Plz dont take him out and in. 2 plays in and then 2 plays out. Plz dont do that. Some people get hotter as they get more touches. Ricky is that guy.
Hey Soxoff....
Again man, couldn’t say it any clearer….Right on !!!!
One day Miami will return to dominance....but how long do we have to wait for that?? GO PHINS !!!!!!!!!
That's actually not true.
Ricky’s numbers go down the more he touches the ball. He’s good for about 10-12 touches per game. Brown on the other hand gets better after about 12 touches per game.
Question
Is the bet about who wins the Jaguars-Dolphins game in the next couple weeks still in effect?

Alright
The Bet: Who will win the Jaguars-Dolphins game in December I believe,
Those who think the Jaguars will win (Mainly Me): If we win, Any one who takes up the bet must put something in his signature for 1 week. That will be decided by me. They must also changed their avatar (The picture that represents your user-name) to something that depicts the Jacksonville Jaguars also for one week.
Those who think the Dolphins will Win (I think Texascowpunk, Samdaman, and maybe others): If the Dolphins win, They will decide collectively what I put in my signature. And i must change my avatar to something Miami Dolphins. The terms are also for a 1 week period.

WOW
I honestly didn’t think there were any Jaguars fans…. anywhere… They try to shove Jaguars games down our throats here in Orlando. I keep telling them I am boycotting the Jaguars until they give us back the Dolphins games. Miami is not that much farther from Orlando than Jacksonville is ….

am i the only person.....
who thinks Bess is gunna fumble just about everytime he catches a punt. why is he there anyways?? ive never seen him get any relevant yardage on a punt return. to much risk if u ask me
Isn't it weird
Ted Ginn Jr. rarely muffs a punt/kickoff which comes off the other teams foot tumbling end over end. He has hands of stone when a perfect spiral hits him in the hands. Davone Bess is pretty reliable with catching a pass aside from a couple of drops…. but I think he is about 50% on catching punts vs. muffing them…..

not that i’m happy ronnie is hurt but i’m truley convinced that ricky is the better back anyway and should be getting the bulk of the carries. a bit of a preview of next season when ronnie is not around perhaps?
Yeah, but
Even if he isn’t around, it’s not like Ricky will be around much longer..didn’t he say next year is the final?

let ronnie rest
ronnies a beast he ‘ll be ok , in the meantime we still have ricky and lex hillard is no slouch. not to mention maybe getting polite in there some too hes pretty good. sperry by the way can actually catch the freaking ball , keep him in the lineup. turner is unproven but i think what the hell give hima shot he can’t be any worse than ginn at receiver, keep ginn on special teams for now till he learns to catch and loses his fear of getting hit! turner need to get some balls thrown his way to see if it was worth taking him in the 1st place
Just listened to the Ronnie Brown show
He said its a foot injury and he spoke highly of Hilliard. He said he couldn’t say anything else so I’d expect Sparano to rule him day to day. I’m sure if he was injured that bad he wouldn’t be doing a radio show tonight. He did sound upbeat but he knd of always does.

thats funny
Just saw the update Matty did. We both noticed he was upbeat.
I think we’ll be okay without him if we have to.

think we'll be ok
as long as our defense hammers them. lets hope they remember its 4 quarters. anderson was pretty good and wake too let the youngsters carry the load . jason is a great teacher for them too
Get better Ronnie, get better.

Your two year old is smarter than many Jets fans. Be proud, man!
And I hope we can survive Ronnie not being there for us. I’m looking forward to Hilliard.
Fanaticism is not logical
Very true lmao little shit that she is
man I love Ronnie but for some reason I am looking very forward to having Ricky carry the load guy has not lost a step he is unreal

Posted a Fanshot with the link to a story on ESPN
On NFL Live and ESPN.com, they are reporting that Ronnie is likely out for at least Thursday, with a hint that it may be for longer.

I don't expect Ronnie to play on Thursday...
I was looking forward to seeing him run all over the Panthers.
However, IMO we have the best backup RB in the NFL….Ricky Williams.
We’ll probably see Lexy and maybe Sheets on Thursday.

I Like Lex also he's big strong, short, back like a mix of brandon jacobs and derren sproles.
He has some burst.I remember in preseason when he gashed the saints for 45 yds. off a power-o run.I say we will run the WC a lil more pistol formation with Pat White.Hey Dan Henning drafted Jake D. so he knows Jake’s tendencies pretty well, so this is a revenge game for Dan H. sinced the Panthers fired him I hope we kick thier asses.
we have a lot of weapons
lets just hope the coaches put them all together right, with a short week to prepare . we have to win and keep winning cuz new england is just coming into their toughest part of their season we need to catch them before the next time we play them. hopefully they drop a couple more games
As long as nothing ends up torn
Glad to hear nothing else is wrong. I think we can survive one game without him but Carolina has hit their stride
Ronnie said his foot feels a little sore.

I guess it is
from what i saw on the film it got bent pretty good
Just a thought about Porter...
I don’t the lack of pass rush has nearly as much to do with the personnel as it does with the lack of imagination on defense. It seems like we are never even trying to overload one side of the line and we are trying to slow the defense from scoring instead of trying to disrupt everything. I think we put Sean Smith on the number one receiver, Vontae Davis on the number 2 receiver, and Chris Clemens on the tight end all man to man (or bring in Nate Jones as a nickel back when we have 4 wide receiver sets) with Yeremiah Bell or Gibril Wilson as the over the top help and bring the pain with everyone else. We need to move the linebackers after the line makes the calls and overload one side or the other…
Instead what we will continue to do ....
Is play defense with the mind set of trying to slow the bleeding… We will hope that bringing 4 will be enough to put sufficient pressure on the QB. I keep thinking about what we did with the NO game. We were doing everything right in the first half. We were plenty good enough to defend the pass when we were mixing things up and bringing everything at him but the kitchen sink. We have the talent at CB now… we need to return to the mindset we had when we had Sam Madison on one side and Patrick Surtain on the other….. bring the pain … then make them deal with you … instead of trying to hope that the highest paid player on the other team can’t do what he gets paid to do… sit back and pick your defense apart….

This is why losing P.Cobbs was huge.
Cobbs was obviously listed as our third back but more imporantly he was Ronnie Brown’s backup. Prediction… Miami doesn’t use the wildcat much on Thursday.
