Isolate the linebackers in coverage
The Chargers’ top three linebackers (Kyzir White, Kenneth Murray and Denzel Perryman) are all allowing opposer passer ratings in excess of 100 on the season when targeted in coverage. Whether that comes from receivers in the slot, the tight ends or the running backs, the Dolphins would be wise to dare this trio to beat them in coverage and test them early and often. If the Chargers counter by working into lighter sub-packages, Miami can then come out and counter punch with the run game against lighter boxes once they’re able to throw their weight around with their front five (regardless of who gets the call to start).
