Ricky expected Parcells cut
Even running back Ricky Williams was surprised that Dolphins Vice President of Football Operations Bill Parcells didn't cut him when he took over the team in December, because in his opening speech to the team he stressed having players with character, rather than characters. "[Parcells] was describing the kind of player he wanted," Williams told the Austin (Texas) American-Statesman in Thursday's editions. "Honestly, I had doubts if I was going to be that type of player."

I think Ricky finally recognized that he had a problem and if he wanted to stay on the team he had to 'name it, claim it, frame it and change it'. Give the guy a break. He may have finally become a grown up and put away childish things.

Ricky has character. His character is simply the relaxed sort.

Parcells puts these teams back to respectability. I just hope he plans on staying with the Dolphins longer than 3 seasons.
As a kid who watched Ricky Williams rip off some huge runs while he was at Patrick Henry High in San Diego, I'm cheering hard for him to stay clean and return to form.
Ricky has so much God-given talent, that he was able to perform at a high level with a lackadaisical attitude about football. It will be scary to see when he actually puts his mind to working hard and becoming a true football player.

Keep working hard and keep yourself dedicated, and you will have nothing to worry about Ricky. I think that if you could get back to your 1800 yard rushing form you will start on that team!
