Cameron not expecting Williams to play for Dolphins

DAVIE, Fla. -- If Ricky Williams makes a comeback, it will likely be with a new team.

Williams

Miami Dolphins coach Cam Cameron, speaking publicly about Williams' latest drug relapse for the first time Friday, all but slammed the door on a return by the troubled running back.

"I will not allow our fans to be let down by people that are not on our roster -- not again,'' Cameron said. "It's my responsibility not to let that happen. We have the greatest fans in the game, and we've got men on our team that we're going to focus on.''

Cameron, who became Miami's coach in January, made the comments to explain his previous reluctance to discuss Williams. An NFL rushing champion for the Dolphins in 2002, Williams tested positive for marijuana again last month, which will delay his return to the league until at least September.

Williams, who turns 30 on Monday, has played only 12 games since 2003. His current suspension began in April 2006 after he violated the league's drug policy for the fourth time.

"The easiest predictor of future behavior is previous behavior,'' Cameron said. "Could I have made that statement 15 years ago? Absolutely not. I was trying to save every guy in the game.

"Ultimately it comes down to the team. You want to be as fair as you can be, but no individual comes above the team.''

When asked what his batting average is trying to "save'' troubled players, Cameron said, "Very low.''

Que the bring him to Dallas posts in 3....2.....1

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Maybe we can sign him for a dimebag!

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I wonder what he'd look like with a star.............

The "fan let-down" angle is an interesting one Cameron took. That's pretty neat of him. Ricky wore out his welcome. Oh well, hopefully he continues to enjoy the CFL.

I'm sure Quincy could use some help in the AFL2.

Could you imagine that?

They would be so "jacked up" during games that on a handoff, Crankcase would turn left...and Ricky would go right...!

Fumble....again!

I think he's in major Dolphin-fan-kiss-*** mode, after the fiasco of a presser he had after drafting Ginn.

I hate the dolphins, but finally cameron is putting a hault to this nonsense. Miami fans kiss the ground ricky walks on, all he's done is let the team and t he organization down numerous times. I applaud cameron kicking him to the curb.

Dolphins coach rejects Williams

EXACTLY my thoughts..........talk about letting the fans down............

 

[big dog cowboy]

We would rue the day if we ever signed Ricky Williams.

If I were commish.......permanent ban.

Don't close the door- JuJo ain't nothin'. And Jerry knows it, already aiming towards next Draft Day. Ricky may be a good option to fill that vacant hole for this one season. He did bring in TO when 90% of the world said NO to TO. Him and Barber sharing the same backfield could have a descent punch to it. Then just for a second imagine what we could possibly do with those 2 #1's next year if Williams did step in and just take over like he used to. But wait, you guys are all right.. Just like with the TO signing. Yawn. Alot of you post ****** earned a good portion of your stripes trying to refute that one, but what does anyone else know, right.

I had a vision that Ricky Williams wrote the exact same thing while he was high...

The comparison is bad. Owens is a glorified nut, but he isn't a pothead. He doesn't do drugs... or at least not the just-plucked-out-of-the-hidden-garden variety...

Lmao!

TO = worth ethic, no drug problems, best WR in the game when on it, playmaker, been playing in the NFL since he came in.

RW = No worth ethic, drug problems, not even top 20 RB in the league when on it, not a playmaker, and has been out of the NFL for what 2 years now?

try again later my friend. You get two thumbs down. Fail.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Ricky, whatever his talents or lack thereof, is a troubled young man.
He has visions of himself as a renaissance, New Age kind of guy who wants to be loved for both his running and his brilliant enlightened mind.

He is now long in the tooth, rusty and probably fatter.

I can see him working on some commune or rural setting out west one of these days. I just can't see him working in the NFL again.
On the other hand, Barnum said there was a sucker born every minute, and one NFL team sucker might yet bite. And then be let down again.

Good for the dolphins, refusing to waste any more time or money rescuing this man child from his own stupidity.

Yeah, lets's sign Ricky (weed) Williams! It's OK...we know all about pot heads and how to handle them, right?

We suffered through a pothead QB that we had to get rid of, and now you want to bring in a pothead running back?

Roll another one, kick back, and re-read what you wrote!
