Losing De'Von Achane in the first month of the season felt especially cruel for this offense that was already so limited on difference makers.

Achane's absence forces Dolphins to rebuild rushing scheme around Gordon's power style.

Achane's early-season absence has significantly impacted Miami's offensive design and efficiency. The Dolphins' rushing attack was built around Achane's elite sideline-to-sideline track speed and outside zone/stretch concepts, but with Gordon taking over as the primary back, the offense has had to pivot to gap and inside-zone looks that better suit Gordon's power-running style.
