    Classy kid... I like MJD, great little player too - Earlier in the season he came out a slated the team for playing poor offense, the following week he scores 3 TDs, thats called back up the talk!!

    One of my favourite non-Dolphins, and a quality fantasy runner - just hope he has a bad day come Sunday.

    Not bad coming from a bowling ball. Lets hope the Jags don't score a strike with him.

    He doesn't want to say anything stupid. Let's just hope the Jags forget to give him the ball.

    Jones-Drew scares me a little. Miami has been a little lackluster in the run D (although a little better lately) since Ferguson's injury. Holt is still solid, if unspectacular. I think he has not even scored a TD this year. Sims-Walker is scary, but he is pretty banged up right now, so I am not too worried about him.

    Porter is right in saying that their offense runs through Jones-Drew. He's also pretty good catching balls out of the backfield. Gonna be a tough challenge for Miami this week. Jacksonville is still a pretty decent team.

    I knew the kid was special when he broke out of Zach's grip his rookie year.
    I was like wow...that does not happen often.

    MOJO (pocket hercules) is my favorite non-Dolphin player in the league, he's an amazing talent.

    The Dolphins better have stressed the importance of tackling this week (I know its important every week), because MJD is a nightmare for teams that don't wrap up after making initial contact.

    he scares me a lot. I'm really worried about us defending screens and swing passes to him.

    Well, he's averaging about 3 catches a game for about 20 yards. All of his TDs have come by way of the run, so he is not really a threat to score catching balls out of the backfield.

    Interestingly, he is only averaging 3.5 YPC at home, over a yard a carry less than his overall average. His away average is much higher at 6.1 YPC. He has also rushed for over 100 yards only once this year at home in six games, and that was for 133 yards on 33 carries (of course, he scored 3 TDs that game, too).

    Will be a fun game to watch. Miami certainly has their hands full with him.
