i saw Daniel Thomas practiced over the weekend and will be playing tonight but i expect Reggie Bush to get more carries than Thomas and to be used alot more in passing plays as well.

I think Thomas will get his fair share of carries but when Reggie is on the field he is capable of scoring at any moment so i expect to see him alot more often tonight. Plus Reggies a veteran and DT is a rookie in his first ever real NFL game.

I think Daboll is going to be creative. I think he will try to create mismatches (something Henning never did) and call a pretty good game (good mix of run and pass to keep them off balance). I think he will get Reggie Bush heavily involved from the begginning. I know Daniel Thomas has shown some glimpses of some good things but overall has not been extremely impressive so far in the preseason. I hope he can make some plays tonight for us but its his first NFL game and its against the Patriots so im gonna have to limit my expectations. Sparano said he needs to play more aggressive and to not shy away from contact so much. Hopefully tonight DT hits the holes with more aggressiveness and shows he can be a legit RB.

Like i said i think Reggie will see more of the workload tonight. Hes extremely explosive, he can take a play the distance at any moment. The problem is that in his career these explosive plays come more often on receiving plays for him than rushing plays. He is not considered a featured back because of his injury history, size, and the fact that he has never been that great of a rusher in the NFL. Supposedly we plan on using him as a featured back. Tonight we will see what Reggie Bush is made of. Im excited to see how we use him and what hes capable of in this offense.


BUT...


In order for our RBs to have a good game we need our O-line to get their sh*t together and block for these guys. The Pats got big D-linemen and we got some question marks on the o-line. Hopefully our O-line holds their own tonight and gives Henne time and opens holes for our RBs.


So how much Reggie/DT do we see tonight? Who has the better game? Will they run Reggie between the tackles often? What do you guys think?
 
No Reggie will not be the one running between the tackles - there will be disguises to get him off tackle - there will be a few WR screens to him and they can use him as a decoy which RB and RW were not able to provide
 
yea i doubt we see him run between the tackles much but i expect Reggie to be in on the majority of the plays tonight
 
I think both will be used most valuably picking up blitzes and chipping on pass rushers, especially on the right side of the line. Keeping Henne upright and giving him some time and confidence to make reads will be important early on. We aren't going to grind out a 10-7 win running the ball. We need to get Marshall involved early, and back up the safeties with a deep throw or two to Gates. Then we can try to run the ball and eat clock to keep Brady on the bench.
 
I don't expect us to run the ball much against their D-line. I would expect somewhere around 20 carries total from the RBs. We're going to have to air it out to stay in the game.
 
15-20 carries for Reggie

I expect a lot of tosses and sweeps.

5-10 carries for DT, mainly around the goal line.
Probably a couple carries sprinkled in for Larry Johnson.
 
lol reggie not run between the tackles? u do know thats what he was brought to miami for right? comedy......
 
I think Reggie will try and prove he can run between the tackles... but I honestly believe they'll abandon that strategy. If they haven't already in signing Johnson.

With that bog defensive line with Wilfork and Haynesworth, we'd be stupid to pound at the strength of their D-line. Make them run sideline to sideline as much as possible and gas them.. The pound them after giving them a good cardio workout.
 
I dont know how many carries reggie will get because its going to depend on how the o-line is playing. Daboll will go with the flow of the game.

If this is true then Miami's front office is dumber than I thought.

Fins exec #1: Hmm we need somebody to run between the tackles.
Exec #2: How about Reggie Bush
Exec #1: Brilliant!
Exec #2: Billiant!
Jeff Ireland: Is his mom a prostitute?

I just read that so does that mean I should believe everything I read, but then I would have to believe the original statement to not believe. If I was a robot my head would asplode.
