Dolphins demote Byron Maxwell to start RB Williams for Thursday Night Football

Wiki Article

The acquired as part of an offseason trade. Considering the holes in their defensive Jason Demers Men Jersey backfield and the relatively low cost (they moved back from No. 8 to No. 13 in the draft and picked up both Maxwell and ), it made a decent bit of sense. There had to be concerns, though, about Maxwell's performance in Philadelphia last season, his first as a No. 1 corner. Per Pro Football Focus tracking, he allowed a 100.7 pa ser rating on throws in his direction, yielding 51 catches for 787 yards on 78 targets. He also gave up three touchdowns while picking off two pa ses. Through the early part of the 2016 season, Maxwell showed some improvement in those areas, but not too much. Quarterbacks completed 14 of 23 pa ses for 185 yards against him during the first three weeks of this season, per the same PFF tracking.

Damien Williams to start at running back. Wow. Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) The blockers in front of Williams will look different than they did in the first few weeks of the season as well. Spencer Paysinger, Donald Butler, Tony Lippett all start, Laremy Tunsil at LT, Billy Turner at LG, Kraig Urbik RG, Damien Williams starts Joe Schad (@schadjoe) That's first-round pick Laremy Tunsil sliding over from guard to tackle in the absence of starter Brandon Albert, by the way. Tunsil, of course, famously slid on draft night after a video of him smoking out of a gas mask was released via a hacked social media account. He's been on the field for all but four snaps during the first three weeks of the season and has acquitted himself fairly well. He should have his hands full with a strong Bengals defensive line on Thursday Michael Grabner Men Jersey night.
