Franklin blew chunks last season. I wouldn't want him. He's even worse than the hot garbage we currently have.
I think a big part of it was also Manning getting rid of the ball and making the Franklin look better too.If that is the cake wouldn't that be a bigger reason for us to sign him? He was a success in Gase's scheme. Personally don't know anything about him, but if the scheme was the reason for his success it was Adam Gase's scheme.
Remember Franklin was drafted as a tackle, struggled there for a few seasons and then moved to guard. He had a few good years at guard in Denver which led to a big contract from the Chargers and things didn't work out. I recall when some fans wanted Miami to sign him during free agency some of us warned that you had to be careful because some of Franklin's success in Denver was due to the scheme and having Peyton Manning at qb.
Is he better than the corpse of bushrod? If so then come on down
The Adam Gase offense is different from when Manning was at the helm. With Manning and Gase the Broncos threw to ball as much as any team in the league and Manning excelled in getting rid of the ball quickly. In Miami the Gase offense threw the ball less than 31 teams
The lack of attempts was mainly because we failed to get first downs and sustain drives not because we got away from the passing game. Gase certainly did a very good job of balancing out the run/pass ration attack but we were 31st in first downs which limited the amount of passing attempts.
Gase has experience with him from before, right? If he wants to come here as depth, sure. Hell, he may even push to start... but how far has his play fallen? Would he be an equivalent to Bushrod essentially at this point?? I wouldnt mind another body that could help as a G/T also.... Bushrod could kick out to LT in a pinch
