Roustabout Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 this is a new update on cbs sportsline for Ronnie Brown: "R. Brown to lose carries? "Ronnie Brown, RB MIA "News: According to the Palm Beach Post, Dolphins head coach Nick Saban said running back Lee Suggs is ready to assume the role that Ricky Williams had last year as Ronnie Brown's backup, that is, to be the featured back about every third series. "It's been a complete turnaround," said Suggs, who played only on special teams in the opener. "I don't know how much of the playbook I know, but I know 100 percent of the game plan and that's all that matters right now." "Analysis: Suggs said the extra time after the opener has helped him adjust. He had only three days of practice before making his Dolphins debut. We aren't ready to recommend Suggs as a viable Fantasy option, but he's worth taking a flier on in larger formats. Monitor his progress in Week 2 before considering him for Week 3 vs. Tennessee. As for Brown, much of his boosted Fantasy value this year was due to the fact he was no longer going to share carries with Williams. By no means do we expect Suggs to make that much of an impact to Brown's value." Even if the 'news' is true the 'analysis' makes the whole update self-contradictory. If Lee Suggs assumes the Ricky Williams role than it would certainly impact Brown's value! Here's a Palm Beach Post article that addresses Suggs/Brown but in which Saban indicates a much more modest relief role for Suggs. Anyone see the alleged Saban quote anywhere?

Scorcher Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Maybe when they say that Suggs will assume Ricky Williams role they mean that Suggs is going to join the CFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the link from the Suggs story that was atttached with the news via Rotoworld: http://www.palmbeachpost.com/dolphins/cont...notes_0916.html Lee Suggs is now the Dolphins' No. 2 running back. Coach Nick Saban says Suggs will be Miami's featured back every third series, similar to how Ricky Williams was used last season. He doesn't figure to steal any of Ronnie Brown's goal-line carries.

Mother Fuggin' Suggs. I've been burned by him before and thought I would never see him again. Suggs=SUCKS!. Just when I thought my plan of keeping Brown for the minimum was the owner move of the year. I guess i shouldn't worry....he'll trip on a candy wrapper coming out of the tunnel this week and be out 4-6. Prick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
