Miami signed two under achievers running backs.
Miami Signed Two Under Achieving Running Backs in Pead and Thomas.
Since the departure of Lamar Miller, the Dolphins have gone full tilt to get that stable of backs they desire – the results have been less than extraordinary. They nearly had C.J Anderson. They made a shot at Chris Johnson. They inquired into James Starks and Alfred Morris. They approached the Kansas City Chiefs and a couple of other organizations about a possible trade. They just had former rushing champion, Arian Foster come in for a visit. In the end, Miami signed two under achieving running backs in Isaiah Pead and former Dolphin Daniel Thomas.
Now Miami has come full circle, and signed a free agent running back that they are familiar with, in Daniel Thomas. Thomas was a former second round draft pick of the Dolphins, and spent 4 seasons in Miami before being cut from the team. Last year, he attended the Chicago Bears training camp, which means Gase has a bit of familiarity with him, however he did not make it past the cuts. Thomas under performed in Miami, and anyone expecting for him to have a career resurgence this time around shouldn’t hold their breath. Thomas has never been able to play a complete an NFL season due to injuries, and his best season was his first season in 2010, when he had 581 rushing yards. Depending on what Miami does in the draft, Thomas may not even make the team.
In addition, Miami also added St Louis Rams running back Isaiah Pead who is coming off an ACL injury, and is a long shot to even make the 53 man roster. Since 2013, Pead has a whopping 9 carries for a total of 24 yards. He was also selected in the 2nd round, and is an even bigger disappoint than Thomas has been.
Neither of the signed back will likely make the week 1 roster.
Neither Thomas or Pead are going to be the answer for Miami, so what is the point in even signing them? It’s an easy bet for those into sports gambling that neither will even make it to the opening day roster. There are still some free agent running backs available that have had much more productive careers than Thomas and Pead, such as Reggie Bush, Bobby Rainey, LeGarrette Blount, Ronnie Hillman, Fred Jackson, Ahmad Bradshaw, Tim Hightower, and Pierre Thomas. Any one of those backs could run circles around the busts we just signed.
To be honest, I would have much rather the Dolphins have signed Foster even though he is still recovering from a serious injury At least he’s proven he can play at this level. Foster also has been doubted by naysayers his entire football life. All he has done every time is proven people wrong. I would take a banged up Foster over Thomas and Pead any day – and twice on Sunday. What are the rest of the Miami Dolphins News fans thoughts about the Dolphins latest ‘non-signings’?
