Let’s talk about the Miami Dolphins

Not to mention a mish mash of after thought running backs. Rest of the WR's are all gadget, rooks/waiver wire pick ups.

Well, KC has a maddening habit of shooting themselves in the foot and sometimes just appearing to lack focus.

Take last week for example; KC literally scored two more TD's than are on the final scoreboard on a catch that wasn't reviewed and a really questionable holding call. Also Mahomes just flat missed a wide open Hill for what would've been another. So they play "down" to opponents a lot, just playing well enough to win. That bit them in the ass in the first Raiders game.

You're going to need to be able to run the ball, and hit some big plays off of play-action. You're going to need to be able to get to Mahomes with 4 and play really disciplined zone with 7. You can't play man. You just can't.

And you're going to need The Chiefs to come out kind of ho-hum and just screw some stuff up, which they do fairly often.

Get a turn-over or two and play relatively mistake free and hang around to the end and maybe you catch 'em napping.

Shooting themselves in the foot is definitely Miami's offense motto. I swear to god if Gailey calls one more fade from the 3 yard line or 190lb Gaskin up the gut in an I. I swear that was 90% of his calls in the red zone last week. We have 8 Td's from our 3 TE's but weirdly have moved away from throwing to the other 2 in the red zone. It's maddening.

We haven't had a 100 yard rusher in forever. I don't expect us to find a running game this week either. Gaskin is alright as an all purpose yards guy (141 combined last week) he scares NO ONE.

well, that can work as our LB'ers are pretty shitty. Screens and passes to backs and TE's in the flats are our achilles heel.

I don't think that's enough in and of itself to beat KC anymore, but it's certainly a plan the Dolphins should be leaning on.
