Dolphins add running back depth by signing ex-Texan Steve Slaton
Running back Steve Slaton, whose production has dropped dramatically since he led all NFL rookies in rushing with 1,282 yards in 2008, was signed by the Dolphins Wednesday, one day after being cut by Houston. Slaton presumably takes the backup role vacated when Miami cut Larry Johnson last Wednesday. Slaton, who goes 5-foot-9, 209 pounds, [...]

Miami Dolphins Week 3 Transactions: Johnson, Jones, and Olshansky
On Tuesday, the Miami Dolphins cut RB Larry Johnson…again. As I tweeted, @PhinNationJohn (Shameless Plug), this came as no shock. Johnson was re-signed because of the health concerns with RB Daniel Thomas, but after Thomas’s 107 yard debut, it is apparent LJ’s services are no longer needed. I do not see another team picking LJ up after [...]

Don’t let the team’s 4.9 yards per carry average fool you. It appears we’re entering year two of the Dolphins’ struggles to produce a respectable running game.
Remember when we thought a 3.7 yards per carry average was bad?
