The Miami Dolphins are set to travel west this weekend and lock horns with the Denver Broncos for an AFC clash that holds plenty of weight for the Dolphins in the AFC conference standings. Miami moving to 7-3 this weekend would provide some critical breathing room between Miami and some of the other AFC playoff hopefuls, who will be playing one another this weekend. But all of that potential is for not if the Dolphins don’t take care of their own business. How can they best do so?
Here’s three areas of focus for the Dolphins’ offensive attack for Week 11:
Continue the RPO surge
The Dolphins are steadily starting to pivot their offense to feature more RPO concepts. Last week’s contest against the Chargers saw plenty of run plays with pass routes attached and on a number of occasions rookie QB Tua Tagovailoa pulled the ball and looked to throw. The timing wasn’t always where it needed to be and they just narrowly missed a few big plays to DeVante Parker on such concepts — but Miami needs the flexibility to give and take between the run and pass as opposing defenses allow it. By calling RPOs at a higher clip, Miami can force the defense to be wrong on any given play.
