Dolphins RBs Jordan Howard, Matt Breida aim to 'shock' NFL

These guys are substantial upgrades over what we had last year. If they cant be successful, no one else will be.
 
Howard and Breida are definitely an upgrade over what we had last year. That being said, we have had varying levels of decent RBs for years. Our issue has been interior OL play. Interior DL guys are bigger, stronger and faster than ever; you can’t have your OG/C beat at the LOS every single play and expect to run the ball. Bringing in Flowers and drafting Hunt/Kindley was the first time in years that we went from drafting/signing undersized finesse blockers to big “hogmollies”. No idea how it will pan out, but I at least expect to not see guys straight run over like in years past.

It's more of a Dallas type line, which I support. Agree with you on the quality of defensive tackles in the NFL. I can't remember a time when there were so many talented players at the position.
 
This is why I did not want to Draft a RB high(and still don't for next year as well).

IF the OL blocks well enough guys like Howard and Breida are more than good enough to get the job done.
 
Will all come down to consistent push from your front 5. Otherwise, it's all just talk.
 
As others have said its the OL that can make a massive difference to the running game.
Hopefully the OL beds in and those two really start to shine the further the season goes.
