Sparano wants a new game-breaker ... at RB

08:05 AM ET 03.24 | Despite owner Steve Ross' hopes for an explosive offense, Tony Sparano says the Dolphins will remain a run-first offense under his watch. "We're going to continue to run the football because that's my nature. It might not be popular with everybody, but that's what I like to do." ... While the approach won't change it's likely the tailbacks carrying the football will because Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams are free agents, and the Dolphins haven't been aggressive about retaining either. Sparano hopes to find a runner who has breakaway speed and the type of ability to take a dump-off pass the distance. Sparano used what Detroit's Jahvid Best did against the Dolphins, turning a short pass into a 53-yard touchdown in last year's 34-27 loss, as a prime example of what he wants.

I wonder if there are any gamebreakers in this draft at RB.

Translation: We didn't suck enough last year to earn a really high draft pick, so we're not going to get a decent quarterback in the draft. We don't have squat that we can trade for Kolb or Palmer, either.

With no threat of stretching the field, that running attack isn't going very far. You'd think Sparano might catch on to that by now.

Lots of teams looking for QBs this year, I guess they still think that they're in the Palmer sweepstakes, that's why they're looking at RBs.

Ingram will be the first RB to go in the draft IMO.

Playing in the East has really got to make them wonder if QB, RB and Def are all not needed. I forgot WR. They need alot so why can't they just say we need to start over?

OK, here's the plan:
1. Do NOT draft a quarterback
2. Stick with Chad Henne
3. Go 1 and 11 in the lockout-shortened season
4. Draft Andrew Luck in 2012

Not only do we have a Henne/Penny thread, we've got a Foxy Loxy thread, too.
