Achane got 15 touches in Week 1; Hafley vows to increase run volume going forward.

Achane recorded 15 touches in Week 1 against Las Vegas (11 rushes for 36 yards), falling well short of head coach Jeff Hafley's stated commitment to a run-first offense. Hafley has emphasized the Dolphins' commitment to the running game going forward, noting during a west coast practice in Napa Valley: 'We have to run the football! That's all there is to it.' Hafley's track record at Boston College (198.8 rushing yards per game on 42.1 carries per game in his final season) and as Eagles coach (36 carries and 166 rushing yards per contest from 2020–2023) suggests conviction in the run-heavy approach, but execution in Week 1 did not match the plan.
