Hey Guys:
What do you see as the reason(s) that Ricky Williams is having less than a spectacular stint in the CFL? I am not here to piss anyone off this time; I am truly interested in your opinions. Here are his stats after 4 games:
53 carries
214 yards
4.0 Ave.
1 touchdown

Well if I am not mistaken, he is on a pass happy team and his team also has another pretty good back, I think.

4 yrd average isnt so bad. he needs to get more touches for his #'s to improve. just look at last years stats for miami, he didnt start having decent stats until late in the season.

The other pretty good running back is John Avery. He was a high NFL draft pick who has sat every game since William's arrival.

How many yards do they need to get a first down? Is 4yrds really that great up there?

Yeah, I mean if he is getting the majority of the carries, and he only has 53 for four games, then that's just because his team is passing alot more. Hm, I remember seeing a post from a super cool awesome guy, suggesting that a bit earlier...lol. Even the fact that he has one touchdown shouldn't be too alarming because he has only ran for 214 yards. Portis had a dry spell like that last year, when he didn't get in the end zone for a while.

Like the NFL you need 10 yards for a first down but have only 3 downs to get it. Right now, Williams is sitting at 5th overall in rushing yards.

He's probably off the juice.

Let's also remember he's not running behind an NFL quality line.
