28-year old Lousaka Polite is one of the better fullbacks in the NBA.  He is a battering ram as a blocker and he is a good short yardage runner.  Polite played in 16 games (9 starts) for the Dolphins last season and he carried the ball 37 times for 123 yards (3.3 ypc).  He also caught 11 passes for 51 yards (4.6 avg) last season.  He has now played in 59 games (17 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 69 times for 234 yards (3.4 ypc).  Polite has also caught 29 passes for 172 yards (5.9 avg) with 1 TD grab in his career.  The Dolphins will continue to run the ball well with Polite acting like an extra lineman in the backfield.  They will also throw him a bone and give him a couple of touches per game as a reward for his blocking.
