Last season the running attack was non-existent, and early signs during the preseason were that the running game was going to be just as lifeless this season as it was last season. However, with new comer Knowshon Moreno’s ability to flip the switch on game day, he was able to bring a spark and toughness to the run game that the Dolphins have not seen since the early years of Ricky Williams.
Moreno was able to barrel his way through the Patriots defense for 134 yards and a touchdown, and Miller was able to contribute 59 yards on only 11 carries. These two players were able to help the Dolphins rush for a surprising 191 yards, which was the 4th highest rushing total in the entire NFL. sports betting software like Ace Pay Per Head Software fans would have laughed in someone’s face if they said Miami’s offense would be carried by their running game. The running game was able to prove the nay-sayers wrong in the first week, but will they be able to provide this type of production on a consistent basis for the entire season? This upcoming Sunday will be a big test to see whether or not Miami’s run game is a flash in the pan, or a real weapon in the team’s offensive arsenal.
The last few years the Dolphins have not matched up well against the Buffalo Bills, and a big part of that has to do with that fact that the Bills D-line has always had the upper hand on the Dolphins Offensive line. The Bills have a star studded defensive front with Mario Williams, Marcell Dareus, Kyle Williams, and Jerry Hughes. It is going to be a challenge for the Dolphins’ offensive line to create running lanes for Moreno and Miller, however it will not be impossible.
Even though it was only one game, the offensive line has appeared markedly improved from last year’s disaster. In addition to Moreno’s no holds bar downhill running style there is a chance that the Dolphins can finally be able to play some smash mouth football against a physical defensive line such as the Bills. It was pretty obvious that Moreno’s passion and enthusiasm was contagious to the rest of his teammates, and there is no reason that he can’t do it again this weekend. After last week’s performance it is clear that this team has a lot more passion and fight compared to previous Dolphin teams, so it will be fun to see if they will rise to the challenge this week against the Bills’ powerful defensive front. My prediction is that the offensive line, and running backs rise to the occasion this weekend and prove once again that they are not going to be pushed around by anyone in this league.
Moreno brings a good running game to this Dolphins O… He can possibly be the future franchise of the dolphins. He keeps gaining solid yards on the ground hell go far with the fins.. Heart line great asset good goto guy… We need a STRONGER line to protect the QB Ill admit to this thou after all the hits he took he STILL came back… You go boy!!
I think Moreno is the real deal. The O-Line will definitely be tested this week, but I feel like they are up to the task. we also have the most solid defense that we have had in a few years. We just can’t let Buffalo run away with us. Isn’t it a hoot that NE is looking at Thomas.

Yeah I think Moreno is for real, I just hope he stays healthy. Love how aggressive and powerful he runs. It is funny that they are intrested
