Ronnie Brown

Miami is blessed to have the tandem of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams sharing carries. 

And the men leading the offensive huddles both have Wolverines roots. Other teams tried to find the next Tom Brady before. Miami is the closest so far with Chad Henne. He looks to be following in Brady’s footsteps, something Drew Henson and John Navarre couldn’t do.

C East, they face 2009’s best run offense in the New York Jets, have to wrangle Miami’s Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams, and control Buffalo’s triple threat of Fred Jackson, Marshawn Lynch, and the explosive rookie C.J. Spiller. The Patriots will have their work cut out for them for those six games.

Absent from the buildup for this divisional match-up between the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots has been a bulletin board quote from the irascible Joey Porter. 

The outside linebacker, who’s never at a loss for words, hasn’t said anything to rile up the Pats. That’s understandable, considering QB Tom Brady said after the last game between the teams that Porter’s statement of genuine hate between the players inspired the Pats.

Don't forget last year's throttling of Miami. Before he tore up his knee, RB Ronnie Brown was off to a great start, gaining 76 yards on just 17 carries.

Last year's defense allowed 4.1 yards per carry. This year it is up to 5 yards a pop. That's absolutely unacceptable.

Sending Pennington out as a reciever and direct snapping the ball to Ronnie Brown. Ronnie Brown had a career day rushing for 113 yards 4 rushing TD's and 1 passing TD. He would have been nice to have on the fantasy team this week. Chad Pennington looked real comfortable, picking apart the Pats Defense throwing for 226 yards and 0 INT's. Tony Sparano's shemes worked like a charm against the Pats and he gets his much deserved first win as a head coach.

The combo of RBs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams trumps the Jets' backfield, but Miami's receivers aren't as accomplished as New York's. Ernest Wilford is a big possession target at 6-5, but isn't a deep threat. Ted Ginn Jr. is still raw as a receiver, but at least he has deep speed. That will come in handy with a quarterback that lacks the arm strength to throw long.

week, he faces the winless Miami Dolphins—the team that passed on him to select running back Ronnie Brown.  If Edwards can stay healthy this year, it is likely he will be playing his final game in Honolulu.  That is something Cleveland hasn’t been able to boast about since the Browns linebacker Jamir Miller was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2001.
