Even while maintaining a per-carry average that ranks in the top 12 in the league, Kenyan Drake has somehow gone from leading the league in rushing last December to taking a backseat role in the Dolphins’ running game this season.
After receiving 14 and 11 carries in the first two games, Drake has reached double digits in rushing attempts only twice in seven games since (13 against Chicago, 12 against Houston).
Frank Gore has had at least six more carries than Drake in three of Miami’s nine games, and the Dolphins have gone 1-2 in those games.
