Yeah I don’t know how much choice they have than to spread the Dolphins out and try to go fast. Ridley really sparked the Pats in the first game, having success when the starter Blount didn’t. Ridley’s hard runs really got them going and even opened things up for Blount, who had success later in the game.
But figure a lot of 12 personnel with Mulligan in as a blocker. The Dolphins didn’t have to deal with Vereen the first time, he’s a mismatch for them. And for all the talk about the Pats missing Gronk, his game against Miami the first time he didn’t make much of an impact.
I think Ridley-Mulligan-Edelman-Amendola-Thompkins (assuming he’s healthy) will be the primary offense.
