| Yes this 2 back set gives some punch and is close to being the answer to this season with Booker as a 3rd option. Chatman and Brown will probably go down this year at some point which is "why" we really need to keep Cobbs as a reserve back to continue the 2 back set when that happens! | ||

| A 2-RB system is the way to go these days in the NFL. Chatman will be good for Brown; keep him fresh and put a few licks on the defense. We shouldn't be so harsh on Brown for "underachieving". He has put up some decent stats on a nothing offense for two years. His running in the second half almost single handedly led to the victory over Chicago last year. Brown will be just fine -- lets worry about that secondary and protecting the QB. | ||

| Brown has been an underachiever, but it's fair to consider the line play and coaching during his time in Miami as well. Also, don't write off a young player so early in the learning curve After all, Brown has 1915 carries, with a 4.3 average, and 9 TDs in his first two years in the NFL Ricky Williams had 1884 yards, with a 3.8 average, and 10 TDs. We're talking about a team that had, I believe, Willie Roaf and Kyle Turley on the line. In Ricky's next three years he ran for almost 4,500 yards, and picked up a rushing title. Other than a superior yards per carry after his first two years, Ronnie has one other advantage over Ricky: no drug problem! I definitely favor a two-back system, and think it's in everyone's best interest that Chatman keep Ronnie's carries in the plus/minus 20 range. With our young line, lowering the focus on Ronnie by opponents has no downside. In the meantime, cut the kid some slack! | ||
