The man has rushed for back to back 200 yards and was the 4th rb to ever do it in NFL history...I've only seen highlights of the man but he's be killing it lately.

How good is this dude? And I guess its a wrap on ? Foster in Miami eh? Lol

    It's def a wrap for ? Foster. But Ajayi looks like the real deal at the moment. Dude runs tough.

    Last week I was doubtful cause he was busting off runs and not being touched until 10-15 yards out. That's usually a mechanism of something VERY wrong with the defense as opposed to an unstoppable offense. And today's game was very weird... but I'll give him his props. But he's no Top 5 RB.

    I'm interested in seeing what he'll do in the next few weeks. Miami now sees him as the answer tho so should do well for himself going forward based mostly on the sheer huge volume he'll get.

    He had people's curiosity, but now he's got people's attention.

    I don't think he's a top notch rb off two games but I'm like deion when he asked him "where did you come from?"

    I mean back to back 200 yard games, wtf. Was this ? nice at Boise state?? Lol

    Agreed. If he proves to be a good caliber starting rb that will help a lot, because Ryan Tannehill is stealing money out of Miami.

    He's an average back and he doesn't need a thread about him

    You just described E. Elliot with the Dallas oline.

    I'm speaking more on it's the oline making defense look bad than a defense not being good.

    2014 Dallas had the league leading rusher.
    2015 Dallas had the 3rd leading rusher (started only 11 games)
    2016 Dallas has the league leading rusher

    The same oline
    3 different RBs.

    Yeah, he was nice at Boise State. I remember hearing his name everytime a Boise State game was on. He rushed for 1,823 yards and 28 TD's his junior year and then entered the draft. Don't know how long he'll really last though because Boise State made him earn that scholarship and rode him for everything he was worth while he was there.

    Its not that he had an injury that year. It was rumored because of injuries before that season one of his knees was damn near bone on bone. That scared teams off because they didn't know how long he could possibly play so he fell down the draft board.

    That boy still eating. 24 carries, 111 yards, and TD against the jets rushing defense that was #1 in rushing defense.

    As long as the o-line stay healthy Ajayi should get good numbers
