Any chance he gets a chance at RB this week? I'd like to think Breida has a shot to impress people but I'd like to see what Bowden can do.

The reason the Raiders parted ways with him so soon is because they were playing him at RB, and he was not faring well according to reports. His best performance in college came while playing WR. I would think we see Breida, and Ahmed splitting carries. I mean we may even see Laird, I dont know what their plan is. With Ford gone I would think Bowden gets more slot reps.
 
Dolphins will use the short passing game a lot this week in place of the running game. I expect 15 to 20 passes that are less than 5 yards down the field, at the line of scrimmage or in the backfield. Lots of targets to running backs and tight ends.

I can see that too but need to be careful not to over do it as Zona's defense will sit on that. At some point we'll need to go deep to losen up the defense.
 
Malcolm Perry on a few reverses.

Bowden on a few wildcats (let him throw).

Laird on a trick play.

20 other carries with Howard and Breida.
 
Breida missed practice with a hamstring today... he might not play either.

If they NEVER run the wildcat again I will be perfectly happy. I haven’t seen them have success with that formation since Sparano‘s first year as the head coach. I would rather see Tua run an RPO formation in that situation than anyone else run the wildcat.

Even if we do have him active, he has missed 3 straight weeks of game time. He should be a healthy horse, but a rusty one...on top of what seems like what is an already thick layer of rust. I'd rather kick the tires on other options before Washington is ready. It's not like we've been a threat on the ground anyway.

If they play him I hope he plays with a massive chip on his shoulder and does well enough to get us a win and get himself shipped somewhere else

Would nice to see him rebound. He has looked slow and sluggish, but adds power.
