When it comes to fans of the Miami Dolphins, one common cry from the masses in year’s past has been, “Why don’t we give (the starting running back) more carries?”
Since Ricky Williams retired, the Dolphins either didn’t seem to have a running back capable of a 30-carry game, or the coaching staff simply didn’t trust the players, either health-wise or ability-wise, to give one guy a workhorse load.
This isn’t lost on current running back Jay Ajayi, who compiled the fourth-highest rushing total in the NFL last year despite only seeing the ball an average of 17 times per game.
