Kelly: Dolphins adopt ‘You Keep What You Kill’ approach to playing time | Commentary

DAVIE — At some point we have to give props when they are deserved, recognizing a player’s improvement, and leave it at that.

So it doesn’t matter that Myles Gaskin was on the Miami Dolphins' 53-man roster last year because of grace and mercy. He showed very little during 2019 training camp, which allowed Patrick Laird, an undrafted rookie, to leapfrog the team’s 2019 seventh-round pick on the depth chart.

When injuries to every tailback on the roster called him into action, Gaskin struggled last season, averaging 3.7 yards per carry in seven games before suffering a season-ending injury of his own.
