How 685 pounds on the left side fuels Dolphins' best rushing stat
The Miami Dolphins are off to an 0-5 start but they have found one thing that works: Running behind LT Patrick Paul and LG Kadyn Proctor
In a surprising revelation, Miami Dolphins left guard Kadyn Proctor shared that the left side of his offensive line weighs in at 685 pounds, according to an in-game comment made by a Cincinnati Bengals defensive player. Proctor, a rookie listed at 6-7 and 360 pounds, was joined by left tackle Patrick Paul, who stands at 6-7 and weighs 325 pounds.
Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II, who is listed at 6-2 and 225 pounds, admitted feeling "small" standing next to the duo. Despite the team's overall 0-5 record, the incredible strength of the left side of the line has proved to be a game-changer. Miami Dolphins have the second-best duo in the NFL on the left side, according to Proctor.
Head coach Jeff Hafley confirmed that the left side is indeed "pretty damn strong and efficient." Proctor and Paul have shown remarkable intelligence and skill, making them a formidable force on the left side. They have led Miami to top 200 rushing yards against the Bengals, and Gordon has been instrumental in this offensive strategy.
The Dolphins' offense relies heavily on running plays, with Proctor and Paul providing the necessary strength and power to get down the field.
