Dolphins running back Ricky Williams joined the show to discuss his season and more. Here are some of the highlights from the interview:
-- Williams had very interesting comments on the Wildcat:
"The Wildcat is dead," Williams said. "It's evolved. It's different now. It's called our regular offense basically. I don't think it should have a name. When people get in the I-formation it doesn't have a name. It's just the I-formation.
"There's all this talk aobut the Wildcat basically as a trick play. But we've done it so much. And there's so much on film. You can't call it that any more," Williams said.
-- Williams said that he doesn't think running backs fall off after 30 because they don't have legs. "I don't think it's a physical thing as much as a mental thing," Williams said. Williams said that it takes longer to recover and you start to think about whether it's worth it or not.
-- Dan asked Williams what he would tell players at the Rookie Symposium. Williams said that he would tell them to think hard about what they want to do after football so that transition was easy.
-- Williams said that his coach Tony Sparano would never give him a massage. He said players in the NFL don't like to be touched like that.
-- Williams has a Heisman vote and said that Colt McCoy is his pick right now. Dan asked who was his second pick. Ricky said Colt McCoy. Then Williams changed to Texas receiver Jordan Shipley.
-- Williams was drafted by the Phillies but didn't stick with baseball. He had interesting things to say when comparing his two sports. "It's tougher to play baseball," Williams said. "It's not even trying to hit a baseball. It's that you have to get yourself ready to play every day."
-- Williams said in 10 years he hopes to be a doctor. |
