The Miami Dolphins feel strongly about their positioning in the AFC as the playoff push around the league begins to heat up. Confidence is growing in their offense after starting Tua Tagovailoa last week. Now the defense will use some of their strengths to shut down Kyler Murray and the high-powered Arizona Cardinals offense.

Kyle Crabbs, the host of the daily Locked On Dolphins podcast, believes if the Dolphins beat the Cardinals, they will rattle off four wins in a row following this week and he explains how they can do that.

Crabbs: If we win this week, I will expect us to beat the Broncos, Chargers, Jets, and the Bengals. So four wins. If the Dolphins win this week, I expect the next four games to be dubs. With that said, I do not expect this game to be a cakewalk like the other ones have been. Mobile quarterbacks have been a problem for Miami. It puts you in a bind, you have got to get disciplined. You’re going to have to trap Kyler into making some mistakes. The zone packages for Miami have been really high-level stuff. Their ability to simulate pressure looks then buzz and drop guys off have been impressive. The Wilkins interception is a great example of that. Everyone is up on the line of scrimmage, we’re going to send three corners and the other corner is going to drop off, take away the shallow throwing windows, so when they throw hot, we can contest the throws. I think the Dolphins contain rush and try to keep Kyler in the pocket, simulate a lot of pressure but I probably drop guys and play a little bit more zone so you can keep guys on him. That would be where I would start my install this week.
