Achane delivered a striking assessment of Miami’s losses, saying, “Out of 7 of those losses, two of those games we actually got beat… them other games? It was us making mistakes.” His message highlights both his confidence in the team’s talent and his frustration with the self-inflicted errors that have derailed their season.

Achane’s comments were made during an episode of “The Set with Terron Armstead,” a podcast hosted by the former player that has served as a platform to reveal important insights, not only about the Dolphins.

The Dolphins’ difficult situation

It’s true the Dolphins are struggling with a 4-7 record, but they did manage to head into their bye week on a winning streak after victories at home against the Bills and then in Spain against the Commanders. They now must return and try to extend that streak at home against the Saints, a team that is also having a tough year with a 2-8 record.

Achane is starting to show what he can truly contribute to the team’s offensive line. Furthermore, during the podcast with Armstead, he revealed that part of his breakout season is inspired by Christian McCaffrey: “That’s who I liked for real when I was coming into the league.”

McDaniel’s hope with the Dolphins

A few days ago, Coach Mike McDaniel spoke about the Dolphins’ recent success after winning three of four games: “I’m just very impressed but not surprised. It matches a belief that I’ve had the entire time with these guys that they are made of the right material to succeed in this league.”

The former league MVP stole headlines in the offseason as his future looked up in the air, but he eventually silenced the speculation by agreeing to an extension with the franchise that drafted him 32nd overall in 2018.

Jackson is once again proving his worth for the Ravens, showcasing his abilities as a dual-threat quarterback but creating havoc especially on the ground. That’s why seeing a rookie running back posting the same number of rushing touchdowns than him is quite impressive.

De’Von Achane has rthe same rushing TDs as Lamar Jackson

Lamar Jackson has so far recorded four touchdowns on the ground, just like Miami Dolphins rookie RB De’Von Achane and Indianapolis Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson.

Only five players ran for more touchdowns than them after four weeks: Raheem Mostert and Christian McCaffrey (6), David Montgomery, Kyren Williams, and Kenneth Walker III (5).

Jackson is also the quarterback with the most rushing yards (220), followed by Daniel Jones with 173. The Ravens star, however, has less passing yards than 21 signal-callers (794).

Of course, that’s not much of a surprise, granted that they have Tyreek Hill, Raheem Mostert, and Jaylen Waddle. However, a rookie has made an even bigger impact thus far.

Despite barely playing in the first two weeks, rookie De’Von Achane is on pace to make NFL history, as he could finish the season with the highest yards-per-carry average ever.

De’Von Achane Could Break NFL Record

“Achane had 18 carries for 203 yards in Week Three and followed that up with eight carries for 101 yards in Week Four. For the season, Achane has 27 carries for 309 yards, a ridiculous average of 11.44 yards per carry,” wrote Michael David Smith of ProFootballTalk. “That just doesn’t happen; no player in NFL history has ever finished a season with an average of more than 10 yards a carry on more than 25 carries.”

Of course, he might be due for some regression, as that impressive average cannot be sustained throughout the course of an entire 17-game regular season. Or can it?

The Dolphins aren’t going to be slowed down any time soon, and Achane is proving why beat writers and scouts were so high on him leading to the Draft. Who knows? He might make history this season.
