I love what I am seeing with this 2018 Dolphins team. I see toughness, I see a very good offense, I see good coaching and some very good young talent and GOOD QUARTERBACK PLAY. My concern is the run blocking from the Offensive Line. It was a problem last year as you guys remember. there were plenty of plays where Jay Ajayi was tackled behind the line of scrimmage. A lot of Kenyan Drake's runs came after contact in the backfield or at the line of scrimmage. As good as Josh Sitton was playing before the injury, he was never known as a great run blocker. I hope the offense will continue to be productive. However I am afraid that for this season at least, the running game will not be very productive.

It's matchup based, and gameplan based. Some teams we will have success running the ball, other teams we won't. NFL is all about matchups.
When we build a dominant offensive line we might be able to successfully run consistently when the other team is loaded up to stop it (very few teams have this ability).
Until then we need to work on getting to that point.

I was thinking this might be our year, but it seems unlikely with the losses we had in both lines.
we may be a year away.

Kilgore and Larson aw both very limited and Tunsil stills needs work as a run blocker
