Jeff Darlington said the Phins had exploratory discussions about a trade for a running back over the bye week. Nothing is imminent, trade could go down in the next couple of weeks.

I hope it's someone who can break tackles.

Or, you know, block for Lamar Miller.....

well, even a decent replacement for Daniel Thomas would be great. problem is you always get ripped off trading for someone mid-season. At least we didn't overpay for that schlub Trent Richardson
-
I liked me Miller going into the season. I still have hope.

MJD does seem to make sense. I saw he was tied to rumors with Jets too. certainly an upgrade over Thomas.
I wouldn't pay more than a 4th for the guy. He's averaging 2.9 yards per carry. -
It's just amazing to me how bad Ireland has been with running backs.
Trading up for Daniel Thomas, the **** was that?
Trades for Reggie Bush, turns out great, doesn't sign re-sign him and now we're looking for a running back. OK.
Draft Mike Gillislee, the guy can't even get playing time.
This is one position that is not a strength in our scouting department. That an offensive linemen, and receivers that can catch.eltos_lightfoot, ASOT, Phins_Fan_87 and 2 others like this. -
I am a real big Lamar Miller guy.....but damn it'd be insane to see MJD in a Dolphin uniform.
-
I had and have hopes for Miller as well. But if you can not pass block and pass catch, you are not going to play very much. You at least have to do one of those to stay on the field. Ex: Reggie Bush.

Lol mjd?
Trade for a running back averaging 2.2 yards a carry behind a line no worse than ours? Do people think he triples his output behind our line? I don't think so.
I would rather trade for ben tate.DevilFin13, cdz12250 and Mainge like this. -
ASOT and NolesNPhinsFan like this.

So then, following the law of Reverse Mando-ism, Dolphins not adding OL help, and are pretty much a lock to trade for a RB.

We'll see who's right between Darlington and Mando.

Gillislee was a fifth round pick never expected him to be a first year starter.
Best thing would be a less expensive back with some solid background and none will matter without some blocking. -
-
so, anyone know of any Olinemen playing for subpar teams on the last year of their contract? i.e. like a Eugene Monroe?
-
The first place I'd start with RB is upcoming FA's.
MJD
Joique Bell
Ben Tate
McFadden
As far as OL goes, we know Albert's deal expires. Others are:
Michael Oher
Jared Veldheer (currently on short term IR)
Any others? -
