Can the Miami Dolphins run the football anymore?

[BAMAPHIN 22]

It’s no secret that the rushing attack has leapfrogged quarterback play as the Miami Dolphins’ most troublesome issue.Don’t let the team’s 4.9 yards per carry average fool you. It appears we’re entering year two of the Dolphins’ struggles to produce a respectable running game.Remember when we thought a 3.7 yards per carry average was bad?Reggie Bush averaged 3.5 yards on his 11 carries against the Patriots. Daniel Thomas and Charles Clay are both nursing hamstring injuries, and truth be told neither of those rookies are ready to become bulldozers in the NFL.And right or wrong, the Dolphins didn’t see enough of veteran Larry Johnson in practice last week to play him against the Patriots on Monday night.If it wasn’t for Chad Henne’s impersonation of Michael Vick, which netted Miami 59 rushing yards and a touchdown on seven carries, the Dolphins would possess one of the worst – if not THE WORST – rushing games in the NFL.But that distinction could be coming soon if this offensive line doesn’t get it’s act together and start opening up respectable holes, and if help doesn’t arrive soon.http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sport...sweblog+(Miami+Dolphins+|+Sun-Sentinel+Blogs)

Omar Kelly, asss hat of the S. Florida press. Did he like see our clown type defense on the field at all Sat Night ? Offense moved the ball against one of the better defenses in the NFL. Our defense brought their own vaseline for the prison raping.

I wonder how much we ran the football in camp and in practices...Sometimes run blocking is hindered by mentality.. Just ask the Vikings they went from a running team to a passing team under Farve..When Farve struggled they could not run the ball..

Run blocking takes nastiness ...Pass blocking your defending more as an O linemen...

they should be passing to setup the run anyways just like new england does. but yes it is a problem. they need to be willing to run the ball when they need yards in short yardage. we got away from this last year as well... fades to bess lmao. u gotta be willing to do it. hillard converted his attempt....but they got to run the play.

at this point its a problem because they look reluctant to do it yes
