Dolphins should run all day on Jags and hit Wallace deep

[The K MO SHOW]

With their star MLB out and now DE Branch, this should set up a major ground attack in Cleveland and with Ball out at CB we should first run it hard, soften them up and then hit a long pass to Wallace. But to start he game off we need to dictate to them and run some smash mouth with Miller and Thomas , switching them both in and out . Pouncey , College and Satele will have a big game too . What I like about this game is the whole Dolphins approach, not taking anything for granted and playing the Jags as if they were the Broncos, if they bring their A game I can see the Fins putting up big numbers , like 450 yards of total offense and 5 tds.

They're 14 against the run and 29th against the pass. Their D line is no joke even with branch out. From what I've read they are very weak down field in the middle. I do agree we got to establish the run early but we shouldn't rely on it either. They're better than the average team against the run.

Or we could just keep doing what has worked so well the last 6 quarters for us. Mix up the play calling and run the type of plays that Tannehill excels at.

If we're really the team people here have been saying we are all week long, then we should have our way with the Jags all day long.

with pozluzny out their run D definitely suffers.

I sure hope the locker room isn't talking like this board is because if they are we are all in for a big surprise. We all know that the dolphins play down to their competition. I just hope we win.

They are 14th against the rush but we are the 4th best rushing team in the NFL and still rising . The O-line is a great group of guys , you can see a different Mike Pouncey this year too, being a Pro Bowl center and still moving over to guard is huge to any team's chemistry. I saw the interview of Satele on the Insiders and it said it all for me.

Disagree. This was the Browns' strategy and it didn't work. The Jags are very vulnerable to the short and intermediate passing game that we used against the Bears, Raiders, and in the second half of the Packers game.

I know you all want bombs, but this is the week to kill them with the dink and dunk.

It depends on the type of game Rt is having. If he is playing great, pass the ball and bury the Jag offs. If he is having an off game, run the ball and keep mistakes to the minimum.
I think this game will be an ugly penalty and turn over game with the fins pulling away in the 4th.
We should be able to go in there and bury them, but we won't.

RT has not shown that he can complete long throws with any type of consistency. It usually stops drives because of those long in-completions.
Just do what RT does well and stop thinking about the Wallace deep throws. Get him the ball 25 yards out and let him YAC.
