I like to look at other teams forums to get an idea of what their fans think their weaknesses are.

Posting some of the topics Raider Fans are discussing in regards to our upcoming game.
1. Feel it could be a trap game, following two big wins and facing division foe Chargers on Monday night following the Dolphins game.
2. Offense struggles in the red zone.
3. Carr's ankle is a worry, don't want Peterman to play.
4. Likely no Jacobs at RB due to injury. More Drake?
5. Half of OL is dealing with injuries including Incognito and Leatherwood.
6. DL gap discipline is hit and miss against run but solid pass rush.
7. Worried Carr may be too aggressive and get burned by the Miami secondary.
Some are saying our secondary is not as good as the Ravens or Steelers but a couple of their posters are pushing back with talk of our top CB tandem.

These are the key worries from a Raider forum.

Additionally, posting that 38 NFL teams have played 3x previous season 10+ win games to open a season, 22 of those won the first two (Like the Raiders have) but none have won all three.

With these worries, what are the ways to best approach these weaknesses and use them to the Dolphins' advantage?
 
Honestly, I think it's more about Miami finding an identity on offense. Personally, I'd go heavy run. Maybe there could be a few opportunities deep with Fuller and Waddle.

The Dolphins have to play better than they have in the first two games. Carr, and the Raiders offense, is humming.

I think Miami could have some success in the run game.
 
In the end, our O- line is going to have to start putting together at the very least a solid game, or Miami is going to find themselves getting blown away again, or fighting from behind with a backup QB to win the game.
 
Fins Raiders are always good games, no matter how good/bad the teams are, always back and forth for the most part. Hopefully our turnstile can show up and only turn when someone gives them the $3 train fare šŸ˜‚

Id run like mad, win or lose and stack the line with TEs and dink and dunk them to death. I don't think we can run a single RPO until 2nd quarter at the earliest cause we don't have time to do that. By the time you fake a hand-off Brisset probably has a defender in his face.

I dont understand why the RPO is our offense. We can't run block, we have an average at best QB when it comes to mobility

The offense makes zero sense

Right? Eliminate the third and longs. Keep the Raiders offense off the field.

As soon as Miami is in FG range bring in Sanders before the Dolphins lose yardage. Just kidding on that one.

That was what I hoped they would do against Buffalo. I felt we needed to run at their fast DL to negate their speed and take advantage of our large OL. I see a similar situation against the Raiders. I am worried with the reports that we're benching Kindley. That's the part of his game that's strongest. And I didn't see him as the biggest problem anyways. I thought it was clearly an inability to deal with edge pressure and that falls on the Ts and backs/TEs.
 
Guys leave the racial and political stuff out please

Kindley def can take up space he just sucks at moving. I also think our whole scheme is confusing and unproductive. They will leave guys unblocked then run or option right to him, weird af

I agree. I didn't see Kindley as the weak link. Then again, maybe Eichenberg's mobility will help Jackson? Perhaps that's where the coaches are coming from???

My analysis of your post:

1) " Id run like mad... " ==> I'm mad because we don't run enough!
2) " ... win or lose " ==> This game is a "toss up" !
3) " ... stack the line with TEs and dink and dunk them to death ... " ==> he doesn't like our TE's !
4) " ... I don't think ... " ==> He doesn't think!
5) " ... we can't run the RPO until the 2nd quarter at the earliest cause we don't have time to do that. " ==> He thinks there is more time in the second quarter than in the 1st quarter!
6) " By the time you fake the hand-off Brisset probably has a defender in his face. " ==> We should just hand it off to the defender!

Hmmm, not a good take in my book - LOL
