Dolphins Running Game averaging 5.0 yards per carry
20 replies
Dol-Fan Dupreeforum_veteranOPLast time they ended a season with over 5.0 yards per carry Csonka, Kiick and Morris were the runningbacks.
This is with entirely new offensive line, without Pouncy.
This is also with a long of 24 yards.
I wonder if they can keep up this pace.
Holland is a huge upgrade over McCain

Yes, it does. Just in case you are not being sarcastic, spreading the defense makes it very easy to run the football. The defenses numbers advantage is eliminated.
slickj101forum_veteranI hope Pouncy's return is everything that I think it will be.

It's ******* Golden.
padre31luxury_boxFWIW this is how it works in the CFL, the pass sets up the run
Not So Fastforum_veteranThat's great. We finally have an offensive line capable of opening up holes for RBs to go through.
djphinfansubscriberPretty amazing job when you think about it..gotta hand it to hickey first off then that damn good Oline coach Benton, man was his line in Houston remarkable..
Best lineman out..five new starters...same backs...
shula_guyNew MemberBuffalo was the only really good run defense they have faced so far. The rest have ranged from mediocre to miserable.

Buffalo and the Patriots held us under 100 yards rushing. The Chiefs and the Raiders gave up big chunks of yards. It seems like a matter of the offensive line coming together. If so, it bodes well for the season.

Chiefs and raiders run defense both are pretty bad

The Patriots gave up nearly 200 yards rushing against us...
Tin Indianforum_veteranYeah, didn't Moreno have over a hundred yards himself in that Pats game.

Tin Indianforum_veteranMoreno, 24 carries, 134 yards and a 5.6 average. Miller, 11 carries, 59 yards and a 5.4 average.

Lamar Miller is also running. There's significantly more effort on his part. He looks like a professional now.
Now bring in Duke Johnson. Another month out may depress Moreno's contract demands which would make him a good guy to sign for 3-4 years. If not, Duke Johnson is a monster anyway. DUUUUUKE!, Moreno, and Miller would be an insane trio.
As a Cane fan Duke has me on the fence. Hes so shifty but can he make NFL players miss? He's gotten stronger and can run between the tackles well. IMO He fits our scheme. If we don't keep Moreno I'd take a flyer on him.
On the draft Quentin Rollins bandwagon.
Bryan_MinehartNew MemberI think a group of people deserve credit..even guys breaking down game tape. But I do think the biggest thing is the line...we are running the zone blocking scheme very well

And we ran the ball well against Buffalo...look back ..we just gave up on it early. Also KCs run defense is no slouch

KC dismantles NE and people still want to think it should have been an easy win. The fact is only elite teams feel like they should win every week. We aren't elite but we can be very good. Our run game may not maintain this pace but should be very good.

The more I read and look at it..the more I see our team got punked by Andy Reid and their coaches. That game was on the coaches more then Ive seen in awhile
