That since 1990 the dolphins have brought in 19 running backs and 5 of them were fullbacks , this is intreaging because that is a awful amount of rbs to go through this must explain why we were bad in the 90's . i made a list and i may have missed a couple of players but here is a list of rbs
1991 3rd Aaron Craver rb
1992 10th rd Raoul Spears rb
1993 3rd Terry Kirby rb
1996 3rd rd Karim Abdul Jabbar rb
1996 4th rd Stanley Pritchett fb
1996 5th rd Jerris Mcphail rb
1998 1st rd -b John Avery rb
1999 2nd rd -a J.J. Johnson rb
1999 2nd rd- 2b Rob Konrad fb
1999 5th rd Cecil Collins rb
1999 VET F/A Tyrone Wheatley rb
2000 4th rd Deon Dyer fb
2001 not sure which rd but Travis Minor rb
2001 vet f/a Lamar Smith rb
2002 trade for Ricky Williams rb / Saints
trade for Lamar Gordon
brought in Sammy morris fb / BuffaloI ma

I AM NOT SURE WHEN THESE GUYS CAME BUT
Bernie Parmalee rb
Leroy Holt fb
I realize that nobody cares but I came across this info and I thought I would throught this out here and see if you guys think this has contributed to our 8-8 seaons which I have been so sick of because of lousy draft position. and to try to understand why we havent had a good rb when most of the nfl had a good back.
this was interesting i thought. :cooldude: :cooldude: :cooldude:

This is not news to most I would guess, we also haven't done a good job drafting quarterbacks since 1983.

You left out Lawrence Phillips, Rashaan Salaam (until he failed the physical), Thurman Thomas, Spikes, Denson, Cleveland Gary I believe was in that time frame, plus a couple others on the roster now like Leonary Henry & Brock Forsey.

Didn't they even bring in Pete Johnson!!!???
Or was that the 80's too?

Yeah, how the hell can you keep Higgs off of that list?????

Mark Higgs IMO was the one who started the trend of backs that would get thisclose to getting the 1,000 yard mark but just couldnt get there....until Jabbar...

I believe he got injured the year he had like 957 yards...or something close to that....I was really rooting for Higgs to be the first since Williams '78 to get that mark...
 
Keith Byars & the guy from the Chiefs...man what was his name?
 
Oh yeah...James Saxon.
 
Research

Don't forget David Overstreet No 20. He gave us our last win over the 49ers in Candelstick. If he hadn't been killed in a car crash in Texas , we would have had a running game in Super Bowl XIX.
Then Maybe Marino would have had his Ring.

He did. It was Karim Abdul Jabbar, after he left the Dolphins and signed with the Colts he changed his name to Karim Abdul Al-Jabbar.
