I just saw an alert from the Miami Dolphins tweets. So what are your thoughts on him possibly playing in this game? This is the tweet:
Excited to have Ajayi on the field. Sorry to see Brenner go instead of Williams. Of course, since the guy couldn't get on the field instead of Dallas Thomas, I guess that doesn't say much for how good he was looking either. I don't think that 3rd down is Ajayi's role, at least right away. All accounts have said that his troubles have been in pass protection. Just let him go out there when Miller needs a breather and run the ball. See what we can do to gain some yards on the ground. When we're stuck in third and long, let one of the veteran backs take those snaps.
Will be interesting. Cant see why they would make roster move now, if they arent gonna activate him for game. But we cant keep four backs on our active roster..sooo...
Williams has been practicing with a brace on his arm or wrist this week. Wouldn't be surprising to see him inactive on Sunday. Maybe Ajayi does so well that Williams condition worsens and he's put on IR
Dunno... We have 4 TEs on the roster... of course, TE is Dan's baby. Still, I thought Brenner played reasonably well a few years ago at LG in relief of Cogs. Won't be surprised to see Brenner go elsewhere and start. lol...
There was not a RB cut in order to make room for Ayaji .Thats not a great sign of confidence.It means they really dont trust that Ayaji has fully recovered from his injuries or that there is not enough confidence in his blocking prowess. He will probably be a situational RB until he proves he can be an everydown back.....blocking skills are important .
Well, we don't need an every down back. We have Miller, who will hopefully be getting 15-20 carries a game the rest of the season. I expect Ajayi to battle it out with Gray to get the remainder of the carries, and hopefully show he's the clear choice as our #2 in 2016 and beyond.
Because of this fact, Ajayi may not be on the active game day roster this week, and that's not a knock on him or the team, nor would it be strange in any way, who knows if he's up to speed yet, he hasn't been able to practice with the team until 2 weeks ago, so he could be a ways behind yet, and understandably so, if it is the case.
There's no way that Ajayi is worse than Williams or a gray. Give the guy some burn and I don't mean 2-3 carries. Give him 8 to 10 touches and let him get acclimated. I have a feeling that this kid can play
