∙ 16y agoI believe it's a hard running, smashmouth play when a bruising running back fights for 3 yards, the defense piles on and all you see is a cloud of dust. The saying is actually more about a style of football rather than any one play. I believe it goes back to the Woody Hayes/Bo Schembechler era of the Big Ten where most of the teams in the mid-western conferences relied on a grinding, short-run game.

The word "enveloping" in the phrase "an enveloping cloud of dust" suggests that the cloud of dust completely surrounds or wraps around something, creating a sense of being completely immersed or covered by it. It conveys the idea of the dust cloud completely surrounding or enclosing its surroundings.
a dust cloud
That would be a nebula, which is an interstellar cloud of hydrogen gas, dust, and plasma. It is the first stage of a star's cycle.

A Cloud of Red Dust was created on 1997-10-06.
The dust cloud theory, which suggests that the solar system formed from a rotating disk of gas and dust, was proposed by Russian astrophysicist Viktor Safronov in the 1960s. He published his ideas in his book "Evolution of the Protoplanetary Cloud and Formation of the Earth and Planets."
A strong tornado that forms a cloud of dust when it makes contact with the ground is called a "dust devil." Dust devils are relatively small whirlwinds that occur in arid or semi-arid regions and are driven by intense heating at the surface creating updrafts. Unlike tornadoes, dust devils are not associated with thunderstorms.
A cloud of dust and gas in space is known as a Nebula.
dust
The presence of dust in the air can expedite cloud formation by providing a surface for water droplets to condense and form cloud droplets around. Dust particles act as cloud condensation nuclei, which help water vapor in the air to condense into clouds.
