Did anybody else see ESPN's 30 for 30 movie on Rickey Williams? I found it very interesting and my perceptionon Ricky completely changed for the better. I am really pulling for him this year and am glad to see him back on his feet.

When I lived in Dallas I went and saw him play in college and he was absolutely amazing. So fun to watch, much like DeAngelo actually. I miss his games and it is too bad he had this break in his career but I am sure it made him a better person.

I didn't really care about him alot until the thursday night game last year. Deangelo was miced for the game and went up to ricky afterward and said something to the extent of.."great game rick, you were my fav player growing up and the reason i wear No. 34, good luck." I have a lot more respect for him after the ESPN film..not to mention deangelo's feelings, i thought that was pretty cool.

Yeah Ricky's a super guy. I was pissed when Timmons stomped on him and tore his pec muscle. He's a very humble guy; he thought the Tuna was gonna cut him when he came in.

Williams also said he was surprised that Dolphins czar Bill Parcells didn't cut him when he took over the team last December.

"(Parcells) was describing the kind of player he wanted," Williams said. "Honestly, I had doubts if I was going to be that type of player."

Williams said that Parcells called him into his office after the team meeting and told him he was keeping him on the team to share rushing duties with Ronnie Brown.

"I was expecting him not to talk to me at all," Williams said. "I was expecting to get a letter in the mail saying I was going to be a free agent.

"I like (Parcells) more than I thought I would," added Williams, who had lunch with Parcells last week. "He's really different than I expected. It seems to me his greatest joy is developing true friendships with his players, being a mentor and trying to help people, not just in football but in life."

    • not sure if any of this is news, but a good summary of our situation heading into training camp.  It's sure gonna be good getting Derrick back. After missing virtually all of the 2024 season, Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown is aiming for a full return to the field during training camp later this summer, per Joseph Person of The Athletic. Brown tore his meniscus in Week 1 and underwent season-ending surgery that has kept him limited through spring practices, though he did participate in “walk-throughs and light side work” during mandatory minicamp, according to Person. Brown originally stated a desire to be ready for the 2025 regular season, but his timeline appears to have moved up. Brown’s injury was particularly disappointing after a career-best 2023 season. He led all defensive linemen with 103 total tackles and was named to his first Pro Bowl, earning him a four-year, $96MM extension from the Panthers in April 2024. While he has never been a prolific pass rusher, Brown’s size and power has consistently commanded double-teams and created opportunities for his teammates. His impact was evident last season, as Carolina’s run defense ranked dead-last in his absence. The Panthers spent significant resources this offseason on defensive line depth, which should allow them to manage Brown’s usage more carefully coming off a major injury. He played a whopping 940 defensive snaps in 2023 (89% of the team’s total) and was on the field for almost every play before his injury last year. With new teammates Tershawn Wharton, Bobby Brown III, and Cam Jackson ready to share the load, Derrick Brown can take a lower snap share to stay fresh and healthy for the entire season.

    • Yeah it's kind of like they don't want him on the team anymore for some reason
