[h=4]1. The offensive line[/h]I believe there will come a day when I can write an article about questions surrounding the Dolphins, and the offensive line will not be one of them. That day is not today. The offensive line has underwhelmed all season, and Campbell has to address this. Dallas Thomas and Jamil Douglas are playing like young players in need of time to develop, performing among the worst guards in the league. Jason Fox has had to fill in for most of the season for the oft-injured Branden Albert, who plays like a Pro Bowl left tackle when he is able to be on the field.
[h=4]2. Run the ball.[/h]Philbin preached a pass first offense, and that became the extreme for the Miami offense. The team simply does not try to run the ball. The offensive line play could be a part of it, but Bill Lazor has got to change his play calling to bring back the threat of the run in order to give Ryan Tannehill a chance at the passing game.
[h=4]3. Attack the quarterback.[/h]The mighty Dolphins defensive line featuring two All Pros has yet to appear this season. Cameron Wake has one tackle and Ndamukong Suh has 10 tackles. That is not a sack count, that is simply a tackle. Combined, the Miami starting defensive line, featuring Wake, Suh, Earl Mitchell, and Olivier Vernon, has zero sacks on the year. The only sack the entire Dolphins team has is from rookie Jordan Phillips, who has not even been active for every game this year.
[h=4]4. Stop the run.[/h]
The strength of the 2015 Miami Dolphins was supposed to be their defense, led by an incredible pass rushing and run stuffing defensive line. Instead, they have one total sack and are allowing a league worst 160.5 rushing yards per game, more than 11 yards more than the next worst team. Campbell has to re-energize the Dolphins pass rush.

No **** ! RIGHT?
