Attack the safeties

Two of the Rams’ defensive backs will miss Sunday’s game against the Dolphins: rookie safeties Terrell Burgess and Jordan Fuller. And so Miami must be willing and ready to attack their replacements relentlessly if need be to get the passing game cooking. The Dolphins did well in this regard against San Francisco, finding the 49ers backups in coverage and allowing their big receivers to go up high and attack the football to create positive plays and chunk gains through the air. Without two defensive backs, Miami must be willing to attack them where they’re green or, alternatively stay in personnel groupings that will put the Rams in a bind if they choose not to try to play the same way without them.
