Summary

Miami Dolphins ramp up their run game ambitions for 2026, but will explosive talents like Jaylen Wright and De'Von Achane finally get the touches they deserve? Kyle Crabbs breaks down the Dolphins' plans to reshape their rushing attack, spotlighting Wright’s confidence and home-run speed, Achane’s potential workhorse role, and new wrinkles with power back Ollie Gordon. Could Miami’s offense reach the next level by balancing jaw-dropping speed with greater consistency and ball security? Key topics include Mike McDaniel’s shifting run-pass ratio, eye-popping yards per attempt stats, and why negative runs and costly penalties still sabotage drive sustainment. Crabbs examines how Miami stacks up against the NFL’s top rushing teams, explores quarterback run game possibilities, and asks if the Dolphins can finally string together enough plays to control games. Will Miami’s backfield breakout—or will offensive miscues hold them back yet again?
