"When the Dolphins run: This is where Miami should continue imposing its will after finding success on the ground in last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills. De'Von Achane went for 62 rushing yards on 12 carries, and rookie power runner Ollie Gordon II provided a nice complement with nine attempts for 38 yards and a touchdown. The Dolphins have even incorporated wide receiver Malik Washington some on the ground."
"The Dolphins are still fourth in the league in rushing average while last in rushing attempts, but they started making strides in closing that gap by running it 25 times last week. Center Aaron Brewer has been a phenomenal run blocker, but he needs some help from guards Jonah Savaiinaea and Kion Smith, who is in at right guard for the injured James Daniels while Larry Borom fills in for Austin Jackson at right tackle."
"Running back Breece Hall may have had a down 2024 season, but he still has to be considered one of the more electric runners in the NFL. He's averaging 4.1 yards per carry. Combine that with the fact that, whoever's in at quarterback between Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor, is a threat to run, and it'll be a challenge for the Dolphins defense."
The Dolphins have found rushing success recently, with De'Von Achane gaining 62 yards on 12 carries and Ollie Gordon II adding 38 yards and a touchdown on nine attempts. Miami ranks fourth in rushing average but last in rushing attempts and ran 25 times last week to narrow that gap. Center Aaron Brewer has been a standout run blocker while guards Jonah Savaiinaea and Kion Smith and tackle Larry Borom are filling in for injured starters. The Jets rank 23rd against the run but feature Quinnen Williams and active tackler Jamien Sherwood. New York's offense gets a boost from Breece Hall and mobile quarterbacks who create a running threat.
