The Miami Dolphins will have a new play-caller this year in head coach Mike McDaniel, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to tilt 2.7% more towards rushing than it did last year (in a neutral context).THE BLITZ projects Chase Edmonds to be a much bigger part of his offense's rushing attack this week (49.5% projected Carry Share) than he has been since the start of last season (39.1% in games he has played).Chase Edmonds has picked up 46.0 rushing yards per game since the start of last season, one of the biggest figures in the league among RBs (78th percentile).Chase Edmonds's ground efficiency (4.96 yards per carry) has been some of the best in football since the start of last season (87th percentile among running backs).The Miami Dolphins have faced a stacked the box on a mere 12.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 5th-least in the NFL. Keeping an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
