The Dolphins did rank in the top 10 with an average of 114 yards rushing per game in 2016. However, those numbers were a bit skewed coming off of three games in which Jay Ajayi ran for 200+ yards. The truth is, Miami exceeded 100 yards rushing in just six games.
Dolphins head coach Adam Gase wants to change that, and he wants to do it with his featured back. In a morning interview on Thursday with 560-WQAM, Gase says he intends to get Ajayi 22-25 carries per game this upcoming season.
“If I can get him between 22-25 [carries] that’s ideal, and it’s a good chance we’re winning that ball game.”
