The Jordan Howard show?
Here’s the thing about new Miami Dolphins RB Jordan Howard. When you give him the football, he gets the job done. As a rookie, Howard logged 1,313 rushing yards and 5.2 yards per carry on 252 totes of the rock. By the time current Bears head coach Matt Nagy got into the building, the offense was no longer tailored to Howard’s strengths and his yards per carry dropped to 3.7. The back was then on the move to Philadelphia, where he saw his lowest attempts per game (11.9) of his entire career.
The Dolphins are going to run directly at the opposition, which fits Howard’s strengths. With the team likely to implement gap/power concepts between the tackles behind their new mammoth offensive line, Howard has the potential to churn out yards and return to the 1,000 yard club in 2020.
Will Miami feed him between the tackles? Or will a lack of run after the catch threats allow opposing teams to stuff the box?
