I'm not saying there won't be a dropoff, all I'm saying is that Mike will be able to carry the load effectively. Instead of 300 team rushing yards, we have 220/250.
Hunter will need to step up. This will be his 3rd game? He should start developing some limited chemistry with TT at practice by now.
O'leary will have to step up.
Iron TD Mike will step up vs the team that drafted him and cut him. Some of the holes this OL creates I can run through for a 10yd gain.
Tannehill 2int and 4 sacks.
I'm big on Iron TD Mike in this Lynn-run offense...especially if it has to be only one game..and ESPECIALLy vs. the Fins.
That being said, I'll be extremely bummed out if Shady misses this game. And lets be real, any "injury" in excess of a cramp that happens on a Wednesday is almost surely to result in Shady being out Sunday. We need him healthy, not like he's been in the past with the nagging hamstring injuries.
Storyline Monday: No shady, no watkins, no clay, no dareus, no ragland, NO PROBLEM.
Iron Mike: 20 carries, 110yds, 2td. Rubs it in his former team's face.
