Chris Brooks Brings a Different Style to Miami's Running Back Room

The Miami Dolphins running back room has a lot of speed. Chris Brooks brings a different style of play though to the group.

Would like to see him against # 1's. He looks like a beast out there.

Definitely looks like a keeper. I can't see him going unclaimed if Miami attempts to sneak him on the practice squad.

He is not going down with an arm tackle. I'd love for him to get a few carries right up the gut on some situational plays the last preseason game.

All the people knocking Grier for not signing Cook better take a look at this guy, he's an NFL back 100%

I've liked Brooks ever since I saw some tape of him in college. He totally brings something different to the team and I hope they keep him cause if they leave him out of the 53 another team will claim him imo

Practice squad for me atm

I like having a short yardage/goal line power back in the group.

The cut down for RB's is going to be tough, they have all played well so far except for Wilson who has been out.

Has there been any news on Achane's shoulder? If he is going to miss time that would open a spot.

Achane is fine. Keep Brooks and Drop a CB

I might be in the minority, but if I was making the final cuts, I'm trading/cutting Wilson and Gaskin. Nothing special about either of them. Time to let the young guys with potential develop.

Keep Brooks. Trade CB Noah Igbo to any team in our division.

Theres going to be a tough decision at the bottom of the roster for sure. You cant carry more than 4 RBs. And even then its going to be tough to carry 4 on the 53 considering you can promote PS guys back and forth now. Maybe more realistic for the RB room to look like Ingold, Mostert, Wilson, Achane and then a RB on the PS. We are most likely going to have to keep 6 WRs plus 3 TEs.

I have similar thoughts. If we go with 4 rbs and think that Brooks, Gaskins, Ahmed and Achane would all provide similar contributions to the team, wouldn't we want to go with the young for player development, especially for RBs who don't typically last many years?

I'm on board with the Gaskin - but not a chance on Wilson. He's a perfect fit in this system and knows it so well- avg 4.9 yds a carry for the season last year...dude's not great - but in this system - he's solid!
