Work the crossing patterns

The Dolphins have a lot of speed; which will challenge anyone’s ability to carry routes if there’s not natural leverage to be found. Working the middle of the field with crossing patterns will challenge the speed of the Patriots secondary but it will also put the linebackers in a bind if the Patriots convert to zone. And if New England plays zone, will they keep bodies high overtop to protect vertically?

If the answer there is yes, it is time to run the rock.
