Will the dolphins finally allow Kenyan Drake to be introduced? Well …

No training decision was more disconcerting for observers – and maddening for the fans – than Adam Gase's refusal to use Kenyan Drake more than he did.

Despite racing for a team record of four touchdowns and averaging 4.5 yards per run, Drake was a spot player in 2018.

His door actually decreases from the previous year (133 to 120), even though, in fact, her total catches increased from 32 to 53.

Drake's role as a replacement behind Frank Gore was obviously not very enthusiastic, and he even refused to rule out requiring a transaction in the offseason last December.

But a lot has changed since then. Gase now trains the Jets. Gore is a Buffalo Bill.

And Drake has a fresh start with Brian Flores.

But if Drake hoped he would participate in the team's off-season conditioning program, which starts Monday as the team's workaholic, he'd better temper expectations.

Flores, speaking Tuesday at the annual NFL meeting, danced around the subject – after a joke about Miami's miracle.

"I think Drake is an explosive player," said Flores. "I saw it for myself, unfortunately. I think he is a talented player. He catches the ball well. He is a good runner. He runs hard. He does a lot of good things. "

But. There is always a but.

"But I think, and I'm going to tell all the players, they're going to make the most of their … The opportunities they have on the pitch will be theirs," Flores said. "When they're training well, if they're smart, they work hard, they're tough, they block, they catch the ball steadily, they hit the hole properly, and then they are going to play.It's all the back.This is [Kalen] Ballage is Drake, this is the period. By committee or by word of mouth, these are the sentences that people emit, but I think that the guys who play the game and produce in the games are the ones who are going to be there.

So Drake will have to fight for his place on the field.

What makes sense.

Still, it was not exactly a yes or no to the original question.

So we asked the question differently.

Are you open to the philosophy of making 275,300 races in one season?

"It depends on the back."

Do you think RB Kenyan Drake can handle this type of work?

"I think if that's the best thing for the team, that's what we do. It will always be my way of thinking. If that's the best thing for Miami dolphins, that's what we'll do. We have good backs. Puffing is a good back too. We can write a reverse. We can not write a reverse. We can get a return as a free university agent. I do not know. But the guys who are going to train, prepare the right way and block pass protection are the guys who are going to be on the field. "

In other words: stay tuned.
