Fears confirmed: Ronnie Brown's season is over

So I'm in my car driving home when my cell phone starts blowing up with text messages. And it was not good news.
Various sources - including ESPN, the Palm Beach Post, and the Miami Herald - are confirming that the Dolphins have indeed placed Ronnie Brown on Injured Reserve, ending his 2009 season with a foot injury.
We should learn more about the severity of Ronnie's foot injury in terms of long-term issues in the coming days. But speculation is that Ronnie suffered the dreaded Lisfranc fracture - which is treatable but requires rest for weeks.
This means that Ricky Williams will suddenly be thrust back into the workhorse role - a role he isn't exactly a big fan of. Expect to see some opportunities for Lex Hilliard and Kory Sheets as well.
You also can't help but wonder about Ronnie's future in Miami. If a new CBA is not reached between the players and the owners, then Brown is under contract in Miami for one more season - with a salary of $5 million. But if a new CBA is reached prior to the start of the 2010 "league year" - meaning that the uncapped season does not happen - then Brown is a free agent.
It's a tough break for Ronnie, no doubt about it. And it's sickening to me as well - as one of the NFL's "good guys" suffers his second season-ending injury in three years. Talk about bad luck.

Talk about a triple dose...
Terrible for Ronnie with another season ending injury
Very bad for Chad Henne as you can bet it will fall on his shoulders more than it has so far.
Bad for Ricky as this means more pressure and personally I want to see him do well and keep his life going the right way.

Get well soon, Ronnie!
One formation I’d like to see every now and then is Chad Henne taking the snap with Ricky and Pat White in the backfield. I’m thinking that handing off to White, or even a fake hand-off, would somewhat freeze the defense, especially if White has an effective pump-fake. If his throws get more accurate, this could be potent.
by Les on Nov 18, 2009 6:46 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
and possibly get white killed as a line backer just plows right over him... i can see it now...
by PhinsFan69 on Nov 18, 2009 6:47 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I was really thinking maybe 3 or 4 times a game. Just a play that can cause a defense to over-think. And are there no linebackers on the field when we run the “Wild Pat”, which he usually ends up running out of anyway?
by Les on Nov 18, 2009 8:52 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I've noticed nobody can get a real good hit on Pat White
reminds me of Warrick Dunn.. it is a skill to avoid the big hit. Ronnie needs to learn it…

sick idea
what if pat white was the motion man with ricky taking direct snap, that could be lethal. you can hand off to pat and run or throw, or ricky can keep it and run or throw.

Ricky just aint good as the triggerman
in the WC formation. I dont know if Ricky can throw either….Ronnie could because he played QB in HS if I remember correctly. That is also probably why he ended that odd interview the other day as soon as they asked him about running the WC.

Not good news...
I feel very bad for Ronnie. Guy was having a very good season, 2 yrs after the knee injury…and now this happens. Hopefully everything works out for the better with him.
Offense is going to lose a very important dimension. Wildcat won’t be a factor anymore, but they’ll likely emphasize the spread/option stuff that they’ve been working on with P. White.
Perhaps we should speculate as to who the Dolphins will sign to replace Ronnie’s roster spot? Will it be another RB, or will they target a WR in an attempt to focus their offense more towards the pass? Will they sign a vet. RB? Best available is Edgerrin James (local product). Not too sure if he has anything left in the tank though.
Either way, it won’t be the same without a player of Ronnie’s caliber there. Wonder what’s going to happen with his contract situation. I think he’s a great talent and should be resigned. How about the rest of you? What do you think?

I hate to think it, but I really think our season as far as playoffs is over. I wasn’t expecting the same success as last year of course, but you always hope anyways :( Hopefully our other RBs step it up big time.

I hate this…..Ronnie has proven hes our back. a 250lb dude falls on your feet from behind….that doesnt make you injury prone…that makes you unlucky…now if it was his knee…then id say something else.
sign him…this actually gets you him cheaper prob….do it….dont be foolish!! do it!! Ricky is gonan be curling ladies hair and doing downward dog in a year!!! u need a great rb

How big of a role will Kory Sheets and Lex Hilliard play tommaro?
by dolphins306 on Nov 18, 2009 7:02 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Key Question
I believe the the story line for Friday will be Lex Hilliard blowing up the Panthers run defense, and Kory Sheets in the flat…Entirely too much talk about Pat White and how he will get more to compensate, etc. etc. I dont see him getting any more than what he has. More base offense, Ricky / Lex smash mouth. Henne has to be the cornerstone of this offense.

well shit
This isn’t exactly what I expected from him being on crutches and hearing thousands of people saying that its a minor injury and he’ll be back in time for Buffalo.
With everyone worrying about the re-sign, I honestly don’t see why you shouldn’t. I know that you don’t drop as much money on him, but RB is still not extremely old just yet and plays just fine even on what seemed to be big injuries.
If you’re the big wigs, seeing that we’re losing Ricky Williams in a year or so to retirement, you really don’t drop a potential HOF player just like that.
We already need a WR badly, going into the off season looking for a replacement to Ronnie Brown and a solid Wide Reciever is not my idea of something we want in the draft. We have a good QB behind the helm with a ton of poise and potential power, we have two impressive rookie corners, and our defense (while frightening to watch) is not terrible. Did we not put up some of the best running defense numbers at the beginning of the season, albeit losing to the 3 we held down?
In this situation, you wait. You see how Ronnie is doing in a couple of weeks, see if he recovers more, then determine if he’s worth the cap room. IMHO, he’s totally worth it, and is definitely the right hand man to our new leader (Chad Henne)
Tomorrows game? I honestly think we can pull it off. I don’t like seeing Ricky get himself all banged up, but we wont be tempted to wildcat the entire game and power run a very low ranked defense. This is not to say I don’t like the kitty, but I don’t think it runs as efficiently without Brown at center.
Keep optimism up guys. I’m sure Ronnie wouldn’t want all of us thinking we’re gonna lose tomorrow.

Ronnie isn't on pace for the HOF.
He’s not even close….. unfortunately. He’s a HOF’er to most of us, but statistically and playing time wise….he’s not even close.

Hey Matty
Interestingly enough the man they chose to replace Ronnie Brown’s roster spot is Nate Ness Safety of the Practice Squad
http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/dolphins-place-ronnie-brown-inured-reserve-sign-ness
Here is the link to both the Brown placements and Nate signing. This probably means the Phinz are feeling good with the set of Back’s we are currently sporting and feel the bigger need to give Safety more of a concern. Sparano was talking up how he has very satisfied with the Back Corp as it was.

This past week has really sucked! My wife lost her job Ronnie gets hurt and today my dog started to limp! WTF is next! The only good in this is Lex Hilliard looked good in pre-season so maybe he will play well. I hope Ronnie stays with the team we need him! I had two ACL’s the last two years and SO I really feel for Ronnie first his Knee now his foot! At Least it sounds like a bone injury wich is better than ligament damage. Best of luck Ronnie.

Ricky is a pro
I am very sad to hear about the misfortune that came Ronnie’s way. He is one of the league’s good guys and a great back. I felt the same way when we lost CP for the season. But with losing CP, Henne stepped in and has done an admirable job. I think Lex may do the same thing for us….an admirable job. He was almost electric in the preseason and I am curious on how he will respond.
Ricky though will step up nicely. It is my opinion as a pure runner, Ricky in his prime is better than Ronnie, and at 32, he hasn’t lost a step. He can run the wildcat too, and what a surprise to a defense when they see Ricky throw the ball!
Best wishes to Ronnie….we want you back…..and best wishes to Ricky to showcase his skills around the league again…I bet anything he will raise some eyebrows with the yardage he will continue to create.

all injuries have a 'bright' side
CP10’s injury, although heartbreaking, opened the road for Henne. And he’s doing ok.
Ronnie injury doesn’t sound as bad as CP10’s and will also have a bright side – it will let us see what Lex and Kory can do for us. I’m very optimistic about Lex, particularly. And I also think that Ricky still got it – he’s a top RB, no question about that.

Dear fishnFinz,
There is a little thing called ‘Fandom’. Among those things we deem as ‘Fandom’ are the numerous post calling for benching’s of said Ginn like players, the exhilarating thrill of Arm chair coaching, the numerous tailgates and ‘could have, would have, should have’s ’ that we grant ourselves the luxury of.
What is NOT part of this ‘Fandom’ Regime is what some call ‘Bandwagoneers’. What is a bandwagoneer you ask? well they line the halls of the ’Fairweatherer’s’ and ‘cynical Fanbase’. But mostly they call doom and gloom and ‘The end of season’s’ half way through the regular playing rackets as well as the sudden ‘loss of interest’ due to a bump in the road or sidelined player. So please….please FishNfinz Think before you vent, and vent correctly if you must.

Just some perspective on the
“i was so pumped to go to the game tomorrow, now i don’t even…[care]. its like going to a preseason game, watching your 4th string guys play for no objective”
I would love to go. I live in WPB. I have watched every televised Dolphin game since 1970 (I was 8 yrs old then), and have only personally attended two. I am not well off, I work two jobs and help my wife with her business. My two kids go to private school so they can have a better life than me.
To go to a game would be so awesome, especially with the chance to trancend these tough circumstances. That’s why I love these Dolphins. Even though they can be dominant at times, they always have this underdoggish charm about them. This last year and a half have been my favorite time as a Dolphin fan. Ronnie, CP10, Will Allen, and Patrick Cobbs have all been a big part of that. But…nothing changes today. I root for them with all my heart, no matter what, and especially now that fate has dealt us such an unkind blow. It does suck. No gettin around that, but… GO HAVE A GREAT FRICKEN TIME AT THE GAME!!! You will give voice in person to what we all feel! Let it rip at that game and root our boys to victory. We still need this game.

Are you kidding me? Because I KNOW Ginn is a total cancer to this team and I voice my opinion I am a fair weather fan?
I see it this way.. Im not blind.. or stupid.. and I do not think that me hoping that ginn gets better will actually make him get better. That does not make me a fair weather fan.. it makes me observant.
I think there needs to be another phrase for what kind of fan believes that players who have been a total bust and have proven over and over that they are not worth the cost of a ticket to se the team you love. I think people who blindly give their support and believe that just because a coach says to the media and fans “this guy is getting better every day” (or other BS lines like this) does not mean the guy is actually good.. it just means the coach does not want the fans or other teams to know he totally SUCKS ASS JUICE. We need a term for fans who support players like this.. like Ted Ginn..

The Awareness that was bringing forth and what Phins Tifosi understand right of the bat is the fact that this should not make you want to “not go to a game cause dude they totally suckerz nowz!” If anything it should be inspiring within you a deep fervor to want to be there to cheer on the other guys who are about to step in in the absence of these guys!
so please again, read, critically think, analyze and then vent correctly if you must.

This sucks
The only silver lining is that Hilliard and Sheets are good, and we’ll have a chance, maybe, to see just how good.
I hope Ronnie recovers and we resign him and he never gets hurt again. Ever.
I hope we can overcome it. That schedule was looking so easy. Kind of glad now White got the reps he got.

I had a bad feeling this was going to happen ever since I seen him helped off the field
It is just a shame because we all know the talent is there but the injury cloud is always above his head,hell of a player and a hell of a nice guy whatever his future is with this team he will always have a fan here(unless he goes to a rival lol) but I hope the CBA does not go through and he stays

This sux
This drops us down a notch for sure. I’m kind of pissed that it happened against a shitty team like the Bucs. At least he showed what kind of player that he truly is in the past 2 years.

Good bye ronnie
I love brown just as much as the next guy, but I think he’s
severed his time in miami, the guy is to injury prone. Trade him and get a wide reciever or some draft picks.
Lets say for shits and giggles we are three games away
from the super bowl and he goes down. What then???

My Dissenting Opinion
I know I have the dissenting opinion, and I also remember everyone jumping on me in the pre-season when I said Ronnie is injury prone, and that was possibly one reason why they haven’t signed his extension (obviously none of us really know why it isn’t done yet). Ronnie is a very great back when healthy, but he can’t manage to stay healthy for a season (yes I know this injury wasn’ this fault) In his 5 years in the league, he’s only made it thru a full season 1 time.
I’m sure we’ll resign him, but its going to be at a discount, which is actually good for the team. But I’m also starting to think that we are going to be looking for another full time RB in the next year or 2 thru the draft. Rickey is possibly gone after next year. We can’t count on Ronnie to finish a season, and Hilliard and Cobbs I’m not sure can be a true #1 back…. Interesting times.

The general league consensus is that RB's break down
at or near 30. Ronnie will be 28 in two months and his injuries so far can hardly be attributed to break down.
I think he will be resigned but as stated above, at a lower price.
We’ll see what we have in Hilliard – I don’t think Cobbs is a #1 back.
by Natalya on Nov 19, 2009 11:33 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
True.....but
I disagree with you on Cobbs. He has shown all of the qualities of a #1 RB. great hands, grit, will lay you flat if you dont watch…

I really believe the team will be fine the rest of the year...
I wish Ronnie a get well soon. I will miss him in the line up, running the wildcat and blowing up tacklers!
I believe Hilliard will surprise teams as the seasons goes along. I look forward to lots of fun watching the Dolphins…
… and maybe a RB in the second round… Stanford RB, Toby Gerhart….

lots of negative going on...before you bash....
give the “new” guys a shot..yeah, I think we all have the “root for the underdog” theory going on here(as stated above),but until the fire and passion runs thru the veins of our new guys,it may create a spark…Hilliard,sperry etc can ignite some fires. You never really know when someone is gonna rock the house until given the opportunity. Stay focused people… Need an example…kurt warner(who?)..yeah,look what he did for st louis…..and all he needed was a shot……..now gear up,get ready,and quit bashing the team you “love”……

... not that big of a deal.
Ricky will step up.
The Wildcat won’t be used as much or we’ll try it more often with Pat White so we have the option to pass. It’s not so much that Ronnie is that much better than Ricky for the Wildcat but more so that we need two great running backs for the Wildcat to be successful. You need a fast RB, like Ronnie that runs to the outside.
So if the wildcat is not working that great or we’re not running it at all I wouldn’t be surprised. Most likely we’ll see a little more of Pat White, which is good. He needs some snaps to develop.
