Pass to set up the run
The New York Giants ran for nearly 150 yards against the Bengals last weekend without RB Saquon Barkley. But that doesn’t mean Miami should simply look to load up the run game and try to smash through gaps. That moves away from what the team does well and would be counterproductive while also inviting a closer game than necessary. The Dolphins should follow a similar script to the one they took on last week against the Jets: lots of passing early and forcing the Bengals to expand their defense before starting to work in draw plays and RPOs with a key to the run in order to manufacture some added room to run.
