Dolphins’ Mike McDaniel adds fuel to Jonathan Taylor trade rumors with unorthodox take on NFL running backs

rewrite this content material with complete period and stay HTML tags When it comes to Jonathan Taylor trade rumors, no staff has been extra mentioned as a conceivable touchdown spot than the Miami Dolphins, and head trainer Mike McDaniel would possibly have simply added extra fuel to that hypothesis. Although the running again place has been devalued within the trendy NFL, McDaniel is for sure one of the vital few coaches who nonetheless sees it as a “valuable position.” When it comes to running backs, the Dolphins trainer defined his philosophy concerning the place on Thursday, and it sort of feels to be a philosophy that will welcome Taylor with open fingers. “Let’s say on an average season with 17 games now, you have 1,200 plays on each side of the ball,” McDaniel stated, by the use of PFT. “And how many of those plays are the running backs touching it? It’s a valuable position that you have to have depth at. It’s a big portion of your touches and you understand that in that process, that you have to have a good solid group for the team and for your offense for the whole year. … And I got my feet wet, really, in NFL game planning in the run game. So it’s near and dear to my heart.” The Dolphins had been busy including running backs this offseason, and this concept procedure most likely explains why. Despite already having Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson on the roster, the Dolphins nonetheless added a running again (Devon Achane) within the 2023 NFL Draft, or even with that addition, they have nonetheless been taking a look to upload extra.  Not most effective used to be the staff related to Dalvin Cook prior to he signed with the Jets, however additionally they it appears known as the Raiders about perhaps obtaining Josh Jacobs prior to the newest around of rumors involving Taylor. Although McDaniel obviously has an infatuation with running backs, something he does not appear to like is answering questions on rumors involving his staff. The Dolphins trainer has spent a just right chew of his offseason answering questions on conceivable trade rumors, and it sort of feels that he would possibly now be bored with that.  During his press convention, he did resolution the query about his love for running backs, however he refused to resolution any explicit questions concerning the studies that his staff is interested by Taylor.  “Here’s the thing with ‘reports,'” McDaniel instructed the media, by the use of Pro Football Network. “First of all, I think my 2.5 year-old daughter just tweeted a report.”His daughter’s document? “Every player in the National Football League is coming to the Dolphins.”We can most likely all agree that his daughter would possibly have a long run as an NFL reporter. Error: march-madness-picks-guide isn’t a legitimate identifier within the marketing-newsletters CMS element. As a lot as McDaniel hates answering questions on rumors involving his staff, he isn’t doing the rest to decelerate the rumor mill when it comes to Taylor. For example, he can have denied that the Dolphins had been within the Colts famous person, however as an alternative, he admitted that he values running backs greater than virtually each and every different NFL trainer.  Of direction, even supposing McDaniel desires Taylor, he does not get to make the trades. That accountability falls on Dolphins normal supervisor Chris Grier. “I’ve said this before: I’m not going to speak about other players,” McDaniel stated of Taylor. “How many times do I have to explain, Chris Grier’s job is to work. He works at it a lot and keeps me abreast when they’re real. Generally, when things are real, I don’t have questions about them. There’s been kind of a consistent pattern where we’ve talked about all sorts of players. So reports, whatever, that’s kind of, it seems like the noise that is around the business.” The Colts recently have a sky-high asking worth for Taylor — they are reportedly searching for one thing alongside the strains of a first-round select, in accordance to ESPN — and even though the Dolphins is probably not keen to pay that, they are most likely goigng to be keen to pay greater than maximum groups based totally on how a lot McDaniel values the location when compared to different coaches.  With the Colts implementing an Aug. 29 time limit for a Taylor trade, the marketplace for the running again will probably be heating up over the following couple of days and the Dolphins will for sure be one staff you wish to have to stay a watch on.
