Gerrid Doaks needs to be elevated...Malcolm Brown needs to sell insurance.

As the title says.

Can anyone truly say that Doaks can do less than Brown? We know what we have in Brown....and so did the Rams. Brown brings as much to the running game as an impotent male brings to an adult film set.

Brown had the highest grade in pass blocking against the Colts and that includes all the offensive linemen. It is his pass blocking ability that is the reason he is playing instead of Gaskin, Doaks, or any other RB. So I would say that Doaks obviously isn’t the blocker Brown is and he isn’t a better RB than Gaskin or Ahmed and that’s why he is on the practice squad and not on the 53 man roster.
 
I liked the film I saw on Doaks, but he was a seventh round pick for a reason. As 1972forever said, Brown is a pretty good blocker. There certainly is an argument to be made that they are misusing Brown and Gaskins in that they are limiting Gaskins to 7 carries per game, but if Brown was losing playing time it should be to Gaskins and not Doaks.

More importantly someone needs to explain to frick and frack it's ok to spend a day 1 or 2 pick on a RB you like.

Well maybe not one Grier likes....

First round:
Najee Harris, first back drafted: 55 carries for 185 yards, 3.4 ypc
Travis Etienne, second back drafted: injured, out for season, no carries.

Second round:
Javonte Williams, 46 carries, 186 yards, 4.0 ypc

Third round:
Trey Sermon, 30 carries, 128 yards, 4.3 ypc

Totals: 131 carries, 499 yards, 3.8 ypc. There is a reason running backs aren't drafted high: they can't open holes for themselves. The first five reasons for a good run game all line up in front of the back.

YPC is only mildly important as are the yards themselves.

What you need in a back, is a guy the defense has to respect because he can hit a home run any play where there is room to work with.

That is why Reggie Bush is the best back we had since Ricky. Its not about the totals its about making the defense respect you.

You also said he's a 7th rounder for a reason but then implied taking one earlier doesn't help any. Maybe you meant something a bit different but thats how it reads to me.

Our plan was to draft J. Williams, but we got out maneuvered by Denver. 😩

I agree with this... You have to understand defensive coordinators game plan and have to pick and choose where to put the emphasis. If you have a Guy in the backfield they do not respect guess what? It all gets hard... And it's all been hard for Miami this year
 
If it's not Malcolm Brown getting forced fed it's Kalen Ballage or Daniel Thomas.

I actually rather have Patrick Laird than Brown, yeah Laird would immediately go down after 1st contact but at least he got a positive yard or 2 for the most part. Brown always getting stuffed
