Jordan Howard, Matt Breida To Complement Each Other
5 years agoMiami Dolphins running backs Jordan Howard and Matt Breida are expected to share the backfield this season after the team finished last in rushing yards and last in yards per rush in 2019. Howard will offer power and is expected to be the short-yardage and goal-line back, while Breida delivers speed. Howard is third in the NFL in rushing attempts and yards since 2016. Patrick Laird could take some third-down repetitions from Breida if he makes the roster. Howard didn't fumble in 2019 and has just five fumbles in 897 career carries. Breida has averaged five yards per attempt in his career, while Howard is at 4.3. With Breida being one of the fastest backs in the league, offensive coordinator Chan Gailey will try to get him into space.
