This is interesting to me. I’m not sure how good Brooks is running routes. But I have a feeling that defenses are going to be surprised when the Dolphins take the field Week 1.
Brooks or EE as the “Deebo”/ “C Patterson” role?

Im more interested to see if Achane has hands because if he can catch & we can motion him outside on a LB, we're going to be a VERY dangerous offense.
Don't worry, De'Von Achane has the hands (and he's got the speed). Bigger concern is whether he is physically big enough to take the pounding that he is going to receive.

I suspect we'll see Achane mostly on off-tackle plays.
If the preseason told a tale it is the I wanna see Brooks inside the tackles story.
Any idea on which is the better blocker?

I definately don't see Brooks as that type of player. Neither talent or skill set.
EZ, as far as running through contact and yards after catch has an element of that to his game. But he's not Debo.
Neither one of them are a Debo clone, but both of them offer skills which can help us. EZ has good hands and showed his speed on sweeps in Pre Season. Brooks has good hands and has the power to break tackles.

Why can't Brooks be Brooks and Ezukanma be Ezukanma??? We are the Miami Dolphins not the Niners.

We need better LB's
Deebo is special. Doubt either can replicate his success, but if they do "oh boy."
Ya he's a natural catching the ball.

I just want to see what he is like with the ball in his hand.

More for the opposition to worry about on the field and the "Lemmings" to whine about on this form.

Of course not.
Who did you want us to have in that position?
