Miller seems pretty ideal but what would he cost? I can't see the Phins giving him up for nothing after they season he had last year... Ajayi or no Ajayi.

We will be fine with who we have.

We don't need a marquee back, we just need another decent guy to help carry the load if McFadden goes down. I trust Randle to produce and I like Dunbar as a change of pace back, but we've seen nothing from Williams. Bringing in a few veterans for a look wouldn't hurt, but we don't need to be giving away high draft picks for anyone.

No, it isn't necessary.

There are several decent backs in the unemployed ranks, and that number is going to grow.

Not interested. If they are going to cloud the picture with another player, I would prefer it not to be one that showed he was washed up with three separate teams in the past year.

I would be surprised if he gets signed.

Frank Pollack was the assistant offensive line coach for the Texans from 2007-2011.

In 2011 a healthy Ben Tate played 15 games in his rookie year for the Texans, rushing the football 175 times for 942 yards, averaging 5.4 yards per carry.

I'm sure that got him a look .

I like it. He knows how to run in a zone running scheme and is patient.

tate was always good in relief of foster. foster got hurt a lot and tate did well. now i'd have to say that could be the line also, but not that familiar with the texans OL.

bring him in and let's let the most hungry, productive rb in camp win.

As a result, he is very familiar with the Gibbs-style ZBS. Still not that interested.
