Dolphins RB Brown poised for breakout - USATODAY.com
excerpt:
DAVIE, Fla. — Marty Booker pointed his finger directly at running back Ronnie Brown.
"That's the key right here," the Miami Dolphins wide receiver said.
Booker was talking about the offense being installed by first-year coach Cam Cameron that through its variations has featured an impressive list of running backs:
LaDainian Tomlinson in San Diego, Emmitt Smith in Dallas, Larry Johnson and Priest Holmes in Kansas City, Marshall Faulk in St. Louis and even Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson in Los Angeles.
Brown, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft, hasn't come close to reaching the status of those five in his first three seasons. But in this offense, let's just say the expectations are sky high. Especially after what Tomlinson did in San Diego when Cameron was his offensive coordinator.
