Offense
The Miami playbook features multiple shotgun Formations and can really be solid for a player who is balanced but has a bit more of a pass-first mentality. You don’t have to run if the numbers in the box aren’t in your favor.
Key Formation
The Gun Wing Trips Dolphin formation is just one example of a wing formation in this playbook that allows for solid pass protection and versatility at the TE position.

Defense
The Dolphins have all of the traditional defensive Formations of a 4-3 playbook, so generating pressure without using too many exotic blitzes will be important. If you play an opponent with a spread passing game who loaded up on receivers, use the Dollar 3-2-6.

The 46 Bear Under provides a unique look to most defenses and can shut down the inside run if the 4-3 Wide 9 isn’t getting it done!
