The Oracle
I've been watching some NFL.com clips from Yahoo Sports(I think from SB Nation).
They started with Foster retiring. And all Props to the man. He was a great running back in the NFL and maybe jump started Ajayi a little bit this season.
So OK, a Foster clip. And then more Dolphin videos kept coming.
Ever hear of a player named Jay Ajayi? The NFL Network knows now, lol. And we hear the once famous Pickle Juice story( the jar still had the pickles in it)and he is given much love by those like LT who wonders "can he keep it up for 4-6 years".
But the clip that got me was one of only some ex-players sitting together. There was love for Ajayi then one said "But how about that drafting? The Dolphins have four 1st round picks on the OL plus an ex-Pro Bowler. They say this is the top 5 OL that should be starting. And there was much agreeing and toasting....and Harrumphing.....
I'm like WHAT? Did our OL just get LOVE? On NFL.com? This is odd, I feel like I'm on the Dolphins Network. 6 videos in a row.
They talked about how Gase made a great move cutting players. He is putting his foot down. Late for a meeting? You stay home. Miss some blocks? You are gone.
I will say this again. Jay Ajayi is a North-South runner or a downhill runner. All that means is that he heads downfield without any dancing or trying to jump to the outside. When you watch him run, notice that even while he shifts to miss tackles, he basically stays heading towards the end zone, never going 5 yards out of his way. HE DOES NOT HESITATE, he hits the hole at top speed. And if you have him 8 yards back instead of in a shotgun, he hits the LOS even faster.
Ajayi has a wicked stiff arm and he does not need awesome blocking, he just needs good blocking. Just keep the defense from hitting him two yards into our backfield. The important thing is to knock defenders a bit off their feet or get them off balance. Because Ajayi hits the hole so fast and keeps churning his legs, an arm tackle is not going to stop a 225 pound running back.
Keep running the ball Dolphins. And Adam, keep reading my posts for ideas.....
