Good.
Ita mainly because he's a Cane but i love him being in Miami.
He might not have the athleticism he used to, but he still has good enough vision and balance to grind out yards and the athleticism to break a couple here and there.

I would still draft a pair of rbs and have Lindsay, Gaskin, Johnson, Ahmad and Doaks battle it out in the offseason and training camp for two remaining roster spots in 2022.

Duke can be a productive back the rest of the year. Worth remembering we added 2 proven RBs to go with Gaskin (Johnson and Lindsay).

That didn't take long!
Our team just strengthened a weak area and not a second too soon.
I really think we are going to win out for a 10 W season.
I also think there is enough turmoil among other teams trying to make the playoffs, that we will get in.
I'll show a modicum of restraint and wait until we are "officially" in the playoffs before I go on about the Superbowl. All I will say is - some posters would be wise to stock up on crow before there is a "shortage" - LOL
Never assume this team will do something no brainer when it comes to RB.
He deserved it, good for him
I wouldn't assume both Johnson and Lindsay have roles going forward. That's two running backs who haven't played much with the team in an offense where lack of synchronization will create turnovers. It's likely that Lindsay's window came and went with Duke's emergence.
It would probably take losing Gaskin or Ahmed to change that.

Could we be facing an "embarrassment of riches" in our RB room? - LOL

I think Duke Johnson's performance yesterday opened up a lot of people's eyes, including mine. I'm a big fan of Myles Gaskin, but we can do some real damage if we bring in a top RB .. Even with this Oline. I was of the belief most rb's would look average with this oline in front of them.

They actually have had a good enough run block win % this season. Don't let the pass blocking twist the reality of run blocking.
The problem is Gaskin should be a receiving back who gets between 5-10 carries a game max, because he doesn't have particularly good vision or elite athletic skills to overcome that.
Wwre the only team who didn't start the season with at least two guys who could get more than the blocked yards, so no.
What really sucks and one of the reasons why I've been so mad about ignoring the rb position and the running game is that young linemen perform better in pass pro when you give them more run block opportunities.
The last thing you want to do with guys trying to find their MOJO in the league is put them on their heels being attacked all game. Give them the opportunity to be the attacker and move someone. Builds confidence and energy. But no back this team has put on has merited many carries, until yesterday.
