    I don't think Jordan even makes contact with him. I sat down and looked at it that week and it doesn't seem like it. Pretty pathetic.

    This is a play I've seen Adam Gase use before though, it's a Lamar Miller bread and butter and if he's resigned I would tend to hope that makes a reappearance.

    For some reason I think Miller would be even better with Gase, but Gase has no say in players apparently.

    Didn't we only run that play 1 time?

    It worked, so Lazor did not call it anymore.

    Yeah. When I looked back at it, it was really a poor attempt at blocking the backside end. With a lesser back, Clowney makes that play. That just shows you that Lamar has an ELITE burst. Miami has to resign this guy, IMO.

    I like that play... but would rather have another TE or a lead FB. 1 missed block and the D has +1.

    I'm somewhat interested in the Northwestern FB that was shown in a play under Miami's.

    The Superback? Good Player just wonder where he fit in at the pro level?


    Cross block by the TE? Dion Sims is better block but is he athletic enough to make that block?

    it is important to have a blocker that can block

    He's done it pretty well, and it was pretty frequent in 2014.

    I'm not sure if Sims is a good enough blocker otherwise to really give him a solid hold on the #2 position.

    He is the top rated for sure. Wonder where Stanford's super-back will go?

    As a blocker, Sims is really pretty good at it. Damn fine at it. The bad part is he's not really a threat in the passing game. And I don't think it's necessarily because of Dion, himself.

    Does Gase ever employ a RB? or are you thinking that he's a FB to convert to a RB?

    Those yelling at Cameron for the poor block may not realize that he just has to prevent Clowney from collapsing hard down the line so he can effectively just block a spot and force Clowney to go wide around him or jump over him and it's mission accomplished

    To me, Dion Sims is the perfect number 2 tight end. He's a real good blocker and he'll be able to make a few plays here and there in the passing game.
