I would definitely be interested in Jeff Wilson Jr. as a free agent. He shouldn't cost too much, and he would be a great fit with McDaniel's offense.I think a lot of people will be upset when we don't draft a running back this year because of too many other needs on offense. But don't worry because Mike McDaniel has 3 recent former RBs in free agency this year in Jeff Wilson Jr, Raheem Mostert and Matt Breida. Those are his "types" at running back. As for the big backs, his starter last year came out of nowhere from the 6th round around where we landed Doaks.
Great point. I also think they put an emphasis on instincts. Overall, Miami's running backs seemed largely lacking in that regard.The reason RB's do well in Shanahan's offense is because the OL is always good.
You can go with 6th rounders and UDFA's when you block really well.
Miami needs to fix the OL.
How much tread is left on the tires though? I was all for Hall maybe even at 29 until I found out he has almost 800 carries in collegeI just want to let you know that right now we should have a chance at Breece Hall at 50th pick.
CBS has him as #71 overall, Sporting news as #53, and PFF as #73.
I am salivating:
Reminder: 6-1 220
2021: 253 carries, 1472 yards, 5.8 avg, 20 TD
2020: 279 carries, 1572 yards, 5.6 avg, 21 TD
Maybe youd like to draft someone who has 0 yards and touchdowns. Someone who cannot carry the ball for 17+ games in the NFL and produce.How much tread is left on the tires though? I was all for Hall maybe even at 29 until I found out he has almost 800 carries in college
Lol yeah that’s what I said. It’s pretty well documented what happens to RBs once they carry the ball enough, they all start breaking down and getting hurt. In Hall’s 3 years he’s averaged more carries per year than all but 3 players in the nfl got this year in 6 fewer games. Like I said I like Hall but hoping that he doesn’t break down in 2-3 years is hoping he’s a big durability outlierMaybe youd like to draft someone who has 0 yards and touchdowns.

If you understood my post you would see I’m calling for a guy like dameon pierce or James cook who split the load in the backfield and kept their legs fresh
They also do well in this system because there is tremendous detail on ball handling manipulation and play action skills by the Qb imoThe reason RB's do well in Shanahan's offense is because the OL is always good.

@ugadolfan
That was the fear with Johnathan Taylor out of Wisconsin. He is absolutely crushing the league now...
