How do you go to the NFL season Without a true staring running back?why are they so hardheaded the front office about picking up a decent running back?
How do you judge Tua without a running back I don’t care how good the receivers are it won’t matter.

maybe myles gaskin will be your best friend after the 2nd preseason game!
 
I think Gaskin and Ahmed will be fine, as in average and not lose us games on their own.

That said, I want a team that is elite and dominant passing AND running. To do that eventually we need a young stud HB on a rookie deal.

Yes running starts with the offensive line, but at some point you also need a back that has talent if you want to be dominant.

Technically, there will be a starting RB. I suspect there are only 20 NFL RBs in the league at a time. Many, as hx shows, are 'good' RBs when they're behind a good line
Does Miami have an NFL starting RB? I can't say 'no,' but too early to say 'yes '
 
It sure would be nice if they had Clyde Edwards-Helaire, D’Andre Swift, Jonathan Taylor, or Cam Akers as their starting RB. Those are all high quality RB‘s who were drafted in 2020 after the Dolphins drafted Igbinoghene.

I know Akers is presently injured and out for this coming season but he was excellent last year for the Rams and there is no way to know if he would have suffered his present injury if he was with the Dolphins.

Our RBs are mediocre. I think Flores and Co are trying to fix the line first and go from there. They literally thought to themselves "if these guys can block effectively for this group of RBs, they will be able to make anyone ball out"

Or...

And this is the most likely situation, which all signs point to the last 2 years. They have mismanaged the running game situation. Unless they meant to be one of the worst rushing teams last year while doing the bare minimum to change what we already had. Do you know what the definition of doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results?

Me? Not totally happy about our RB situation but I keep hearing its fine. Since when? Somebody give me a year. OL is massive obviously but we havnt got a legit playmaking RB beit it making extra yds, going the distance or pass catching out of the backfield. None of the above imo. Its a total mix and match and I don't like it. Doesn't help Tua either. Just saying.

And never discount the inevitable impact of Offensive Rookie of the Year Candidate Gerrid Doaks!

The latest depth chart shows him at the very bottom of the RB chart. Perhaps you need to call him up and have a pep talk with him and tell him it’s time to start performing like the rookie of the year unless he wants to spend the season on the practice squad.
