Redskins need to sign Ricky Williams.

[Kalisto2010]

Ricky Williams will be an unrestricted free-agent next year. I'm sure most of you agree that he's the prototypical Redskin running back. He reminds me of George Rogers and Stephen Davis. We need a punishing running back who can wear down a defense and create his own holes when there isn't any. And I'm sure we can get him at a bargain. I really hope he's in a Redskins jersey next year.

Just becasue you don't agree with the topic doesn't make it a fail, Richard.

First, I actually made a positive contribution to this thread later on.

Second, it is very unlikely that either a.) Miami will let Ricky Williams go and b.) Ricky Williams would want to leave a team where he gets to share the RB duties with Ronnie Brown.

Third, Ricky Williams plans to retire after the 2010 season.

Fourth, our team's #1 concern at this point should be to fix the offensive line. While RB is a concern, we can pick up a good RB in the 2nd or later rounds.

Ok Richard but it is still not a fail.

Actually it is...give me a good reasonable argument why it isn't? And try to do it without sounding like a 10 year old calling me names.

I wouldn't be opposed to it, think I mentioned him in another thread.

Only for a year and for cheap, while our newly drafted RB gets up to speed.

So you want to hire a 32 year old recovered pothead to be RB behind our newbie offensive line?

Seriously?

He's 32 with little tread, and he wouldn't be our first pot smoking Running Back. Riggins smoked tons of weed

If they used Ricky as part of a Running Back platoon (which is how smart teams operate these days), he could be plenty effective. And enough already about the O line. They could re-build the entire line via the draft and free agency before next year. We don't need the greatest O line of all time to protect the QB and have an effective running game.

Man, and I was just thinking that thewarpath had built a community that avoided obscure free agent threads.

He gets an awful lot of those yards with Ronnie Brown running the Wildcat. I seriously thought this thread was a joke. Putting a 32 year old running back behind this offensive line will reduce his shelf life to months, not years.

Be careful, mredskins may call you names for saying this.

Hopefully by next year we HAVE an offensive line. Samuels is pretty much gone. Thomas is up there in age and every season seems to take a season ending injury. Heyer stinks as does Rabach. Who do we have left? Dockery. Well. I guess that's something to build off of.
