Rather than dropping low for leverage, linemen engaged in foot races and shoving matches along a higher plane, and those plays were largely absent the clatter-crack of colliding helmets. On a bigger level, the strategy also produced a crucial win for players, and for the game itself. The Dolphins tended to deploy the formation a handful of times each game, gaining an edge by obfuscating who might pass-rush, and they had the NFL’s top third-down defense.
Miami’s approach, while uncommon, was effective last season.
