=== Defensive Scheme and How to Attack ===
The Dolphins blitz at a league-average rate and run defensive line stunts the least of any team in the league. Time to pressure is average. Their defensive philosophy is attrition — forcing sustained drives, avoiding explosive plays allowed, and wearing offences down over the course of a game. They rank first in TFL rate but third-worst in run success rate allowed. Fielder advised attacking over the middle with play-action as the primary mechanism. Arif noted that the Vikings have Kyler Murray active, which opens an additional dimension; Fielder declined to formally advise using him as a runner but acknowledged the possibility and expressed resigned confidence it would somehow work.
