It would be great to ascertain that this was the plan the Miami Dolphins had all along. And what better way to welcome a new head coach? But I strongly have my doubts. For a few reasons.
The first of which is Adam Gase has already let his preference be known that he likes all around backs. And going back to early last season there was some consternation over Gase using so many backs rather than just playing the hot hand. Which he finally did around the quarter mark of the season. He must have been still waiting to see his ‘all around back’ still develop even at that late stage.
