I will always have to take a back seat to your knowledge and understanding of the game but I actually think that Breida is a better RB than Mostert. Looking at a lot of the runs he had Mostert definitely benefited from having some HUGE gaps to run through and used his speed to maximize his gains. He has a really weird running style though, is not particularly elusive, and doesn't seem to me to be as intuitive or natural runner as Breida who, on more than one occasion, used his vision and cutting ability to make something out of nothing. Like I said I hate to see him go and wish him the best. Hopefully Jet makes up for the two years he was out with a stellar season this year.

If not Jet I have confidence the shannys have already identified a home run in UDFA RB

All the best to him in Miami. Solid back that found himself in too crowded of a backfield even before McKinnon was restructured.

yup, good luck to him

Ditto!

Great value for the Dolphins. He's from Florida too. He can chill with Colbert.

Breida does show good vision when he runs and was a big play threat. It's actually confusing that he was a UDFA. He deserved to be a drafted player.

Matt did a damn solid job here for an undrafted player. Lynch got him for free and then flipped him for a 5th. That's a win in my book.

Best of luck in Miami Matt!

Annual? Lol more like quarterly.

Best of luck to him though. He's been nothing but great for us.

good luck Cheetah. i'll be following your career.

Good luck breida!! We will miss you!

Good times. I'm always going to root for you! I wish it would've worked out with 49ers. Good Luck and God bless!

I like the fact that we got a (I think) 5th rounder for Cheetah. LIke another said, I hope we get another Cheetah 2.0 in this years Undrafted later on.

All of the weak links moving on. Just a couple of more to go.

Uh is this a little premature? Before we find out if mck can hobble his way to the huddle?

I viewed that Mostert became better. His vision on when to cut into the defense was brilliant.

Coleman on the other hand lacked this vision and too often cut into a solid wall of defenders. Coleman was great when he found open space but wasnt good at finding it for himself.

I thought Breida was better with his vision then Coleman and was faster.

I guess perhaps Coleman was a better blocker.

In my view I thought Breida should have been number 2 but I cant see what Shanahan and Lynch see.
