Watched it like twice already. So good. PFF left him out of their top ten players of the week. Making their site one T short of a more appropriate acronym...
Pretty impressive what happens when your OL actually opens up holes to run through and gets to the second level. Make sure to vote for him for the FedEx NFL ground player of the week.
Ajayi is a beast. Love his physical running style. But watch the offensive line work in those highlights. A thing of beauty. MORE of that, please!
Exactly! Ajayi ran hard, hit the holes hard and showed a real burst. But you have to give props to the offensive line for really opening up the holes for him and keeping Tannehill upright with time to throw. An amazing display from those guys!
It was great performance but if you check the highlights closely you will note the huge holes the OL opened up for him .He was barely touched by a Steeler defender.The hardest contact he had was he ran into one of our own defenders.
He did have a couple runs that looked designed to go inside, but he bounced them outside and got the corner to make big gains. He definitely did some on his own and had good yards after contact.
Guessing that's because a lot of the yards were blocked for him. He rarely had to make a defender miss. He just saw the hole and got downhill. I still think Ajayi played well, but I'm guessing that's PFF's thinking (and partly why I don't like PFF).
I read that he had something close to 150 yards after contact. That's a pretty crazy number. I guess it must include a hand reaching out and touching him as he was running by, contact right?
I was big on Ajayi in the offseason. I was the crazy one saying that we won't miss Miller. So it's nice to see him breakthrough, but honestly it's typical Miami Dolphins that we have a guy of this ability... Who flakes out and has to be de-activated early on in the season, only to show his worth a little late. Add that to all the fumbles. I need to see this guy show some consistency. I'm still P.O.'d about him being a big baby.
Get what you're saying, but if the coaches put him in his place, he swallows his pride and decides to work hard, and he ends up better off because of it... ...credit the coaches for taking the right stance and the player for lesson learned. If he works hard and plays well from here on out, everybody wins. With you on the fumbles. Good to see none last game, but those cannot continue.
