The Miami Dolphins are back in action this weekend at Hard Rock Stadium, hoping to knock off the undefeated Seattle Seahawks and climb back to .500 for the remaining three quarters of their 2020 season. Beating Seattle is going to be anything but easy — but there are yards and points to be had to this point in the season against the Seahawks defense.
If the team is going to find offensive success against Seattle and give themselves a chance, where are some places that they can start as they look to successfully implement a game plan?
Here’s how Miami can try to beat the Seahawks when the Dolphins have the ball:
Attack the intermediate zones
Miami’s success passing the football has come largely with spot throws against zone coverage through the first three weeks. So the challenge this week is to continue to exploit soft spaces and take what the defense is willing to give on any given play. With a little luck, Miami can spring some big plays and break contain after the catch. But at the very least Miami is going to have to find completions in bunches by targeting holes in the zone.
