What will an optimal role look like for Matt Breida?
Breida is NFL Next Gen Stats’ reigning fastest man in football. He’s an absolute blazer who might be Miami’s best catalyst for explosive plays with the ball in his hands. But what will that role look like? Running Breida between the tackles cuts down on his value as a speed threat but the Dolphins’ offensive line doesn’t necessarily have the athleticism to run a lot of the zone concepts that Breida found success with in San Francisco under coach Kyle Shanahan.
Breida hasn’t exactly found overwhelming success as a pass catcher, either — which makes the Dolphins efforts to find a winning formula for him in 2020 a fascinating sub-plot.
