Re: 2017 NFL Season Discussion

Question - Why would the Dolphins trade Jay Ajayi, who rushed for over 1,200 yards last year and was on course to rush for over 1,000 this year, to the Eagles for draft picks, when that makes the Dolphins team rushing leader Damien Williams, who has a grand total of 32 yards on 12 carries in the 2017 season, just ahead of Kenyan Drake, who has rushed for 25 yards this season? The Dolphins were already 31st in the league in rushing with Ajayi, how is this going to improve the team? I know Ajayi was having problems in Miami, but the Dolphins didn't plug the hole by trading him. It seems like they have just given up on the 2017 season.

Of course, this makes the Eagles the team to beat in the NFC and quite possibly the NFL, especially if Ajayi and Blount click and Wentz continues to improve.
