If Jay Ajayi gets hurt, our RB situation is a mess.

That 5 foot receiver will get some carries also. I like what the Dolphins did. Especially since next year is a good RB draft

I wish it did. What am I to do for 90 day? NBA playoffs first, then the NBA draft and the olympics. Maybe that will get me through the dead season.
 
I think they will look to add a veteran after some cuts are made and I am sure Foster will get a good hard look.

I think you have to. It's the NFL....guys get dinged all the time, especially at the RB position. You need quality depth.
 
If Tanny...moore ...thomas get hurt...we will start a 7th rd rookie!

Jay Ajayi is our only everydown, bellcow RB who can carry the load, and consistently run between the tackles with power.

Our other running backs are complementary pieces, at best. Damien Williams, Kenyan Drake, Daniel Thomas, Isaiah Pead.

This is why the Kenyan Drake draft pick bothered me so much. There were plenty of everydown bellcow RBs left on the board. I would have preferred Devontae Booker, C.J. Prosise, Kenneth Dixon, Jordan Howard.

If one goes through life worrying about what may happen you'll never enjoy what is happening

List of available running backs.

And remember this list will grow, finding guys who can handle some carries won't be hard to find. Lots of solid options here.

Maybe we still sign Arian foster and go with Ajayi, foster, drake let the rest battle for the 4 spot
 
I think the team is ok with the thought of Williams as the fourth back, just need to find someone to challenge Thomas for the power back role. If Bobbie Dixon doesn't resign with the Bills maybe he's an option.
 
Running back by committee, we will be fine.

IF, BIG IF, we do not get down BIG in games and become predictable, teams will be in their nickel and dime formations trying to defend Landry, Parker, Stills (or Carroo), and Cameron.

Despite the lack of production last year from all but Landry, these guys will be a problem with Gase's scheme.

Spread them out, and even Daniel Thomas can get 80-90 yards a game.

Fortunately for us, I don't think DT makes the team. I hope that he and Williams get cut eventually and we roll with Ajayi, Drake, and a yet to be named 5'9" 225lb bowling-ball veteran.
