that ain't young for a running back.

He is done. Might produce maybe one 1k season, but he taken to much damage.

Joique Bell!

Really since when did you all become NFL talent evaluate rs. Come on really enough with the criticism of all players we mention as maybe a possibility of joining this team. MJD could really help this team, and he has a few good years left. Why not see if their is a interest from both sides. Really could he be any worse than Miller or Thomas. The answer is hell no.

There is little market for 29-1/2 year old running backs who missed 12 games over the last two years and had production of 400 and 800 yards over that time. MJD is a physical runner and has taken a lot of abuse. The fact is the Jags ran him in the dirt during the 2011 season with 343 carries. You don't have to be a talent evaluator to learn from history.

Too short for Philbin.

Oh wait. Philbin might be gone.

Let's hire a HC who digs on short dudes and bring Bess back as well!

Somebody like MJD for a 3rd down back isn't a bad Idea. Not looking for 1000 yd seasons out of him. Just grab us 2-3 Yds when we need it might be a great weapon to have. But he needs blocking. On Top of that a Pro Bowl caliber Tight end will help open up runs as well.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Reggie Bush? LOL

We had a good team last year. Should have resigned Reggie and kept the linebackers we had. Oh well. That's Monday Morning QBing. I'm glad he made moves. he tried. I have no hate for Ireland at all.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

We don't have bad backs...the fix for our running game is getting an effective offensive line.

If we don't have blocking, no running back in the league will be sucessful from game to game.

I will hoist a beer to that tonight. To a NEW OLINE!

we are 11-5 with a better line easy.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Exactly...we are absolutely. With a better O-Line we may have actually won the division and are the #2 seed in the playoffs...that's not far-fetched.

The money MJD is going to look for does not match a 3rd down back.

I agree better with a better OL.

Miller is a quality back, but the staff insisted on splitting carries.

We already have a decent 3rd down/change of pace back. Problem is he is used as the feature runner with no blocking. We needed someone who can make something out of nothing this year (Reggie).

We need a power runner from the draft and a Oline.


With our same receivers healthy and tannehill we can be a really good offense.


But those two positions need to be upgraded. RB and OL. Both in the draft.

No more scrubs from other teams.

Miller is OK. Need to move on from thomas. A couple good backs might be available in rounds 4-6. Will we sign Brandon Albert?

It would be nice if we had an oline that would push the defensive line a
half yard back to give our rb's some space to operate in.

Fix the freaking line!!

Get Carlos Hyde in the 3rd or 4th round.

Carlos Hyde great runner but he can BLOCK as well.

Hyde is a great runner and can BLOCK
