If Rawls shows you something this weekend, by all means ride him down the playoff stretch. I would wait and see on Rawls and feel better about Prosise in the short term. But how sure are you that he is going to stay healthy, especially with an offensive line as bad as Seattle’s. When Rawls is right, he’s an absolute beast and we saw that last season. As Thomas Rawls re-acclimates himself to being an early down running back, the confidence should be there for Prosise to take over on 3rd downs and passing situations. He runs very well in open space and is terrific pass catcher. If GM Dennis Hickey rebuilds the offensive line, Tannehill continues developing, and Bill Lazor proves to be a competent play-caller, I have no doubt that Miller can be a productive feature back.Belleza de pase de a #SEAvsNE /DnmuiLXTzSĬJ Prosise provides a skill-set that is similar to Tevin Coleman. A guy like Andre Williams or Devonta Freeman would be great, and I've already named Terrance West as a back for Miami to keep an eye on. They have too many other needs, and those guys simply aren't that good.Ĭonsider me in favor of waiting until at least the fourth or fifth round and seeing who is still there. If Miami used a second-round pick on a guy like Carlos Hyde or Tre Mason, it would be a colossal mistake. I'm fully against signing a running back (so far so good), and this year's draft class is somewhat weak at the position. Running back should simply not be a top priority at this point. The wide receiver and tight end corps stand to be improved as well. They need at least a couple more offensive linemen, a linebacker upgrade would be nice, and cornerback depth is needed. Miami still has holes to fill in free agency and the draft. Teams across the NFL have shown that less-heralded guys can be very productive if they are put in the right system and given a chance.īy my count, Miller was not really given a chance. Alfred Morris, Zac Stacy, Andre Ellington and Joique Bell are all good examples of young late-round backs who found success already. The bottom line is that this isn't the time to worry too much about running back. One can also just look at Miller's game-by-game statistics to see the inconsistencies in his workload, especially over the second half of the season. There's no excuse for that kind of stupidity, and Sherman is a big reason that Miami's run (and pass) offense was among the worst in the NFL in 2013. The team ran just six times as the game quickly went from 17-3 to 17-17 in the third quarter. The Dolphins ran the ball 22 times for 120 yards in the first two quarters, averaging 4.7 yards per carry. This is pretty much all you need to know about Sherman, per a report by Dan Hanzus: There were also reports about Miami players questioning Sherman after his inept play-calling came to a head in Miami's fourth straight loss in Week 8 against the Patriots. Sherman should have came out and pounded the ball down their throats, but he inexplicably just played right into Buffalo's hands. The Bills had arguably the best pass-rush in the league, and one of the worst run defenses. He came out and defended abandoning the run after the Bills catastrophe in Week 16, but his logic made no sense. He also seemed to not understand how to establish any type of run game. His inability to adjust during games was excruciating to watch. Mike Sherman also displayed some of the worst play-calling ability that Miami fans have ever seen. Former second-round pick Daniel Thomas was brutal as a complementary back, and has no place on the Dolphins' offense. Other than that, I'm sure defensive coordinators were more than okay with how they stacked up against Miami's offense. Tannehill couldn't get the pass game going because of that line, and teams really only had to pay (a little) attention to Mike Wallace down the field.
