Did he really say that? Oh jeez.
He's worried about something that was maybe 3% on the probability meter.
Even if it's 20% you can't be fearful of that, as opposed to the huge favoritism that a 3rd down run will be stopped short of the marker. And if so, now you're stuck.
Here's part of the equation: The Dolphins don't view 3rd and 10 passes the same as the rest of the league anyway. We throw shy of the marker on those plays also, meaning it is part catch and part run to actually pick up the first down. If we removed that run-after-catch necessity maybe Adam Gase would start seeing things with greater clarity. He's thinking a pass play is like a two-team parlay.
