Introducing the Miami Dolphins optimum running back room
By Matt Serniak
Raheem Mostert is one of Mike McDaniel’s guys so we have to trust him but I’m not holding my breath.
I’m nervous about Raheem Mostert. I realize he’s only here on a one-year deal not worth a ton of money. But man alive the guy has about a million knee injuries along with other injuries.
Don’t get me wrong, I want Mostert to be the speed freak he was back in San Francisco but typically when a guy has lower leg injuries, they lose a step. That’s only natural but Mostert has had chronic lower leg issues.
When he’s right, there aren’t that many more electrofying players in the game.
Mostert has a couple of the fastest runs over the last few years. He’s a threat to go the distance any time he touches the ball. He was built for the wide-zone scheme because he has terrific vision and also has zero problems cutting it back up inside and taking on and delivering punishment.
The #3 role is perfect for a guy like Mostert at this stage of his career. Getting 20 touches a game is no longer a thing for him. But, getting perhaps 10, now that is possible. It’s possible if he can stay healthy.
As per Raheem Moster;
I’m glad rehab is going great. I can’t wait to see how fast he can when everything becomes real in a month. Wearing the Miami Dolphins colors should offset some of the knee issues and make Mostert still really fast.
