Ronnie Brown: the NFL's Best?

 

                  Is Ronnie Brown the NFLs best running back, I think a case could be made that he is, and just like the rest of the greats, except Barry Sanders and Jim Brown, he needs an offensive line to help him prove it.

Ronnie's career stats, I've highlighted the Avg. because that is what I would like to talk about.

Season Team Rushing Receiving Fumbles
G GS Att Yds Avg Lng TD Rec Yds Avg Lng TD FUM Lost
2008 Miami Dolphins 16 13 214 916 4.3 62T 10 33 254 7.7 39 0 1 1
2007 Miami Dolphins 7 7 119 602 5.1 60 4 39 389 10.0 43 1 -- --
2006 Miami Dolphins 13 12 241 1,008 4.2 47 5 33 276 8.4 24 0 4 2
2005 Miami Dolphins 15 14 207 907 4.4 65T 4 32 232 7.3 38 1 4 4
TOTAL 781 3,433 4.4 65 23 137 1,151 8.4 43 2 9 7

The one stat that always changes when there's trouble with the O-line, this is true with all the greats, but Ronnie is in an elite catagory, maintaining a 4+yd Avg. behind a bad and at the best of times mediocre line.

Lets look at each season;

2005: Ronnie's rookie year, he split time with Ricky this year, and once Ricky came back from suspension, he got more of the carries, 168 to 133 for Ronnie after week 6. The O-line was poor in the beginning and worked their way up to mediocre, and then back down.

2006: This year was incredible, the O-line is even worse at the start of the season, easily the worst in the league, they ended the year mediocre, but they did get better until the end. Ronnie missed 3 games due to a hand injury, gained 5yds in that Vikings game, against that ridiculous run D, but in the other 12 games he ran for 1003 yds, and the three games he missed(12 thru 14) were at the end of the season, when the line was playing their best, that is ridiculous! 1000 yds in 12 games behind a bad to mediocre line, averaging over 4yds a carry? Who does that? The only guys I could find; Barry SandersJim Brown and Ronnie.

2007: Another ridiculous performance, Camoron fails to give Ronnie the ball in the first 2 games because of his man crush on Chapman, so Ronnie gets 22 carries for 65yds, thats 3.0ypa after the first 2 games, and internal pressure forces him to go with Ronnie as the primary back in game three. In the next 5 games Ronnie scores all 5 of his TDs, rushes for 537yds, at 5.7ypa. As we all know, he tore up his knee in game 7, and he was leading the league in yds from scrimmage with 991, even after the first 2 games debacle, agian behind a below average line! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE! now its not a full season, I know, but how is it possible that he's leading the league in yds from scrimmage, ON THIS TEAM after week 7, not even being the primary back in the first 2 games? Outside of Jim Brown and Barry Sanders, I can't find anyone to match these feats, I am open to any and all examples.

2008: Less than a year after tearing up his knee, he's back in the starting lineup. Ricky is back and they're splitting time again, but this time he'll take a back seat to Ronnie, and he has no problem with this, because he has seen his buddy Ronnie develop into an elite RB. Ronnie puts up good enough numbers to get a trip to the pro-bowl, the O-line is hit with an injury in game one, the center has a torn labrum, and in the 12th game we lose our other guard, despite the progress the O-line made, it was just as hampered by injury, and was a mediocre line most of the season, and still Ronnie puts up great numbers, even coming back from the injury.

Outside of Jim Brown and Barry Sanders, I can't find any RBs matching those feats, on the other hand, there are too many to list when it comes to not matching those feats;

Emmitt's rookie year, before that O-line had a chance to gel, he avg. 3.9ypa, and then in 96 when they lost a couple of line men 3.7ypa.

The Bus had a huge rookie year 4.9ypa, and then they made some changes on the line, and 2 years later avg. less 3.6ypa both years, they gave up on him, some saying he was a bust, and traded him to Pittsburg, now behind a good line, jumps back up to 4.5ypa.

I could keep this up for a while, the stats in these types of circumstances are overwhelming, you have to dig, but there they are if you want to see them, and that is why I believe he is the best back in the league, just waiting to happen.

Does this mean more carries for Brown?

Lets assume the O-line is better this year, do you think he will avg. over or under 5.2ypa, I do and I've just illustrated why, what are your thoughts?

Enjoy the holiday and NEVER FORGET

I don't think you can really make a case for him being the best if you don't compare

his numbers to Adrian Peterson at the very least.

Breakout season

Ronnie is going to have a breakout season this year, going for well over 1400 yards. Ricky will be right behind him.

The only big concern

Is that he’s still only a little over a year removed from rehabing an ACL tear. Running backs tend to lose the ability to take a lot of wear and tear once they sustain an injury of that severity (see Shaun Alexander). Hopefully, he’ll get about 20-22 carries a game, which should be enough for him to get a rhythm going, but not overtax his body.

heres the deal

I believe in Ronnie Brown as much as you can. I say give the ball to him as much as we can …but i dont think thats going to happen. We should have that run first pound em and never stop offense…but thats not how we play…nor is that how we have to play. I feel Ronnie wont put up those numbers because we are not a featured back offense we are a fully balanced team that utilizes a variety of talent . simply for that reason alone i do not see a tremendous 1400 yard season as some are predicting. But pure 5.2 yards a carry I think he can reach that. it’s going to be tough, no doubt about it, but does he have the talent? yes. Does he have the line? (hopefully) yes. and finnally is he that type of durable reach for every yard player? YeS.

So yes i think 5.2 yards is obtainable. But i see a season in which he reaches anywhere around 1100-1200 yards (which is still fantastic)..

So yes I think ronnie brown is fantastic and is a franchise player and do not want to see him go anywhere and 5.2 is somewhat realistic although he’s going to have to overcome a lot of 1-2 yard carries because of pure youth/growing pains.

I believe in John Beck and that Cbdolphin is the man. I'll make you proud LCFF

Play calling

will be very important, as i feel we have to keep the other teams guessing. So lining up Ronnie and/or Pat White in the WildP, will be very important just to keep teams off balance. I would like to see Ronnie’s receiving yardage go up also. Looking for big year in the backfield with Pennington, Ronnie, Ricky, Pat White and Cobbs.

What's really realistic is about 1000 yards with a better average

We just wont give him the carries that he needs to have to eclipse the 1500 yard mark. I want him to get that as much as anybody because he’s my favorite player. But our offense is TWO back not ONE back

Nice Stuff Finster

The only thing that I will take issue with is the quality of OL that Ronnie has run behind. For the most part I believe that the OL production has been above average since Ronnie has been here. I wouldn’t consider Ronnie a “make you miss” type of running back (Barry Sanders). I also wouldn’t consider him a “bruising” type of running back (Jim Brown). He can’t make a guy miss in the hole and he won’t run a guy over, so the OL has to give him a lane to run. Once he is on the 2nd level of the defense, he is extremely effective. The OL gets him to that level.

Again, nice post. rec’d

by ct1361 on May 25, 2009 9:27 PM EDT reply actions  

Thanx ct much appreciated

but I have to disagree whole heartedly about our O-line, they have not consistently given him lanes, when they do he gouges the D, but normally he has to manufacture yds, here’s a quote from Mark Schlereth following the 06 campaign,“to say that the Miami Dolphins O-line was average, is an insult to all things average everywhere” those are pretty strong words from a good X O-lineman:>)

I am not saying the OL was great

but to call them bad to average is, IMO, wrong. Ronnie Brown has been very good as a split carries running back for 4 years. But the team average in each of those years is over 4 yds per carry. In ’08 they averaged 4.2 y/a. ’07 – 4.0 y/a. ’06 – 4.2 y/a. ’05 – 4.3 y/a.

Averaging 4 yds per carry or better in the NFL as a team is very good. And for each of those years, Ronnie had over 50% of the total team carries once, in 2006. Hell, In 2007, Jesse Chatman averaged 4.0 y/a with the majority of the rushes and I don’t think he is even on a NFL roster right now.

I just don’t see how a terrible OL could produce those types of numbers. Especially since no team defense in that time was fearing the mighty miami passing game from the likes of Ferrotte, Lemon, Rosenfelds, and Green.

by ct1361 on May 26, 2009 1:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

Ronnie led the team in rushing all 4 of those years

you don’t think he had more to do with those numbers than anyone else?

In 07 take away Ronnie’s stats, the team avg. 3.5 instead of 4.0, take away Chatman’s stats team avg. 4.1.

And Ricky has also been on the team for 2 of those seasons, another great back.

But I don’t need stats to tell me what my eyes see, very few running lanes, idk Ct, I guess we just see it differently :>)

Yeah I guess we do see things differently

I just don’t remember saying to myself that the reason for a phins loss was the play of the OL. I watch the line play on every snap (I played OT in college and coached OL for 3 years after playing) and I didn’t see them play any worse or better than their opponents. I thought that the play of the phins OL, for the most part, was solid all year.

Because of that thought I wasn’t in favor of resigning Carey or the signing of Grove. I don’t think either are worth the top 5 money that they have received and they are only marginally better than who their replacements would have been, for a lot less money. That money could have been spent on upgrading the skill level of the WR (Boldin).

Nice write up

I think Ronnie is definitely a stud, considering the only two seasons he’s ever been a feature back (college or pro) he went over 1000 yards, and then led the league in total yards from scrimmage before a freak injury. I won’t say he’s gonna go over 1400, because yardage is more about volume than anything. He won’t have the carry numbers to get there. However, 200 carries at 5.0 a pop gets him 1000, and I think that’s perfectly realistic. Ricky will take carries and help carry the load, and I also think we’ll see more of Cobbs this year. He reminds me of Dave Meggett, who Parcells LOVED and took with him from the Giants to NE. Cobbs does the same things.

And I don’t know if Ronnie is the best in the league, but he’s up there. Adrian Peterson is probably the best back in the league, because of his combination of speed, power, pass-catching ability, and vision. And the infusion of very good rookie backs (Forte, Slaton, Chris Johnson, etc) shows that there’s not a big gap at all between the top few backs and the 2nd tier. I think Ronnie’s best attribute is his versatitly. He’s able to run inside, outside, and catch passes or pass block, while some of those backs are only specialists, or don’t have such a wide range of abilities. All-around backs like Ronnie, Peterson, and LT are rare, so I think Ronnie is more valuable to us than a typical 1000-1100 yard back.

he has very good hands

but you’re right about his blocking, although I’ve never really seen him pass block much, considering they don’t pass much, and he’s usually out on a route or out of the game (which could be because he’s not a good blocker, or they want to rest him…).

And of course he would struggle without run-blocking, but he would still be a beast behind an average line IMO. There isn’t another back in the league with better vision or a better burst through the hole. He’d be able to create yardage without much room. The fact that his OL is amazing, well, that just makes him pretty much unstoppable lol.

I have issues with AP

Until he fixes the Tiki Barber-style inability to hang onto the ball, he will always be below Ronnie Brown, Darren Sproles, Michael Turner, and DeAngelo Williams on my list of running backs.

Also, that Minnesota line was absolutely dominant, but lost its most important component. Without Matt Birk, let’s see how he does.

But that's how running backs go

Very few modern day backs are good year-in and year-out. Larry Johnson, LaDanian Tomlinson, and Stephen Jackson all looked relatively down last year, and they were pro-bowlers for the past few years.

There is very high turnover at that position, perhaps more than any other.

Gale Sayers

Nice mention, this is another back that surpassed his own line, he slipped under my radar because A) I forgot about him and B) due to his short career he did not post overall big numbers, and I was comparing Ronnie to the heavyweights, and checking the guys with the big numbers.

I should have remembered him though, that is my bad, he is considered by many to be the best back ever, but due to his injury shortened career, he gets talked about less and less.

He gets overlooked for the same reason I overlooked him, when you look at all the big number backs, his name isn’t there. He played from 65 to 71 but his career really ended after the 69 season.

On a mediocre Bear team he was everything, great runner, great receiver out of the backfield, and an awesome returner, in the 5 effective years he ran for about 4800yds, 39tds, and had 112rec. 1307yds 9tds and also returned 27 punts at 14.5ypa and 2 tds,as well as returning 91 kicks for a 30.6ypa and 6 tds. Thats a 14 game season as well.

As career numbers go, these will not get you into the hall of fame, as impressive as they are, but they did, because he did it on a mediocre team, Gale Eugene Sayers is one of the all time greats and is being slowly forgotten:>(

his knee injury will hold him back from the player that he should have been. But Ct…..ronnie will almost always make the 1st player miss and he def has the power to run over most defenders. Despite his injury………..Ronnie Brown is a top 5 RB. Tell me whos better????

Great write-up,expected nothing less

I too think he is the best when you consider that our OL has been suspect for quite some time and I don’t know of a back with better balance,the ability to shimmy and burst in the hole than RB.

I said I would trade him,I think it was Lefties post, but I think I made it quite clear it would have to be for great and multiple picks but it would be awful hard to trade a back that’s smiling as he’s running over your ass…I bet RB smiles in his sleep.

by haildanhenningnow on May 26, 2009 3:38 AM EDT reply actions  

Shimmy and burst, I love it

Appropriately descriptive.
And I wouldn’t trade him, to me you trade to make your team better, and trading your best player is counter productive.
Lets just hope there’s more holes to shimmy and burst through, this year.

What can Brown do for you?

I think Ronnie is going to be better and with this coaching staff can only get better, especially if our O-line improves. Here’s the thing about the running game, one can argue the run sets up the pass or that the pass can set up the run. In the past the Dolphins were very predictable. If you didn’t know what we were going to run you were blind. But now, things have changed. The Dolphins have been able to keep teams on their toes. Showing you one thing and doing another. This is great because if the Dolphins can build upon their wildcat offense, then teams will have to get ready for too many looks to get a real feel for what we can do. Ronnie was the perfect fit for this offense and I think this season we can expect more surprises. Sure we all expect Pat White to be in the mix, but we really don’t know what Dan Henning has planned up. I do however expect Ronnie to be a part of it. I just hope it’s not just the wildcat, because the Ravens pwned it. I’m not as creative as Henning, but one can expect him to keep the Dolphins flexible and unpredictable which makes Ronnie’s versatility a big threat. Adding more weapons around him will help stretch the field, giving him more opportunities to make plays.

I can’t wait for the season to start!

Nice Post Uncle..

I love the way RB runs the pill, I just can’t stand to see him – not playing. I have to reserve labeling him great until he can show me 16 plus games a year. With a solid line Ronnie should prosper even more this year.. It’s strange to think how great backs like Payton and Barry could be so awesome with sub standard offensive lines for most of their careers, …could they have been any better?

I am a huge fan of giving credit to greatness for guys who didn’t have long careers but showed enough talent to earn their spot in history. Gayle Sayers is the poster-boy for careers cut short, but you can not discount guys like Bo Jackson, Chuck Foreman, Terrell Davis, Ricky Williams etc.. Rather than a bronze head in Canton, their awesomeness is diminished to mere folklore. It’s sad.

Let’s keep Ronnie’s legacy alive, so when proves it, we can all sit back and say “I told ya so”

I think he will get

more carries this year, but Manning is staying in Indy I think LOL, hard to run the colts O without him, Its basically customized for him and his abilities, but for us it all hinges on the O-line, we all know that, give Ronnie the line of scrimmage, and I think he’ll avg. 6.0ypa, I just blows waiting LOL thanx:>)
