Is it vanilla preseason play calls? Can FB Alec Ingold help? Dolphins look for answers in run game.

It’s only the preseason, but this is not the run game the Miami Dolphins envisioned coach Mike McDaniel bringing to South Florida after his San Francisco 49ers ranked top seven in rushing yards two of the past three seasons.

Through two preseason games, the Dolphins are averaging 2.6 yards per carry. In last Saturday’s exhibition loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, Miami had 4 rushing yards at halftime.

Working out the kinks in the run game will be a focal point in the Dolphins’ final preseason week with joint practices against the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday and Thursday ahead of the teams squaring off for a preseason finale at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday night.
