But for now, I felt inspired to really think about the players (and there are a handful of youngsters in here, which is encouraging) who made Sunday’s game possible. I mean, they would have played the game either way, but there’s really a reason to watch now, you know?
And who knows, maybe some or many of these guys come through down the stretch for Miami. So here are my Top 7 Miami Dolphins who sparked a 2017 season turnaround (and yes, I know you are thinking that this may seem brainless in three weeks, but hey, what if it doesn’t?)
- Kenyan Drake, running back — Drake has injected Miami’s offense with pure speed and scintillating shiftiness. Drake ran for 120 yards against the Broncos and 114 yard against the Patriots. He’s got runs of 66, 42 and 31 yards, when Jay Ajayi didn’t have a run longer than 21 before his departure. Now comes the true test for Drake. Cold weather. Turf. Third straight workhorse game.
