player. 59. The Miami Dolphins are coming together on offense with QB Ryan Tannehill and his WR corps. But the real strength of that offense is the running game with RB Jay Ajayi. As the offensive line continues to improve as the play together, the offense looks like it’s set. <p>The problem for the Dolphins is their defense despite having Ndamukong Suh and Cameron Wake. They seem to be just as bad at stopping that run as they are good at running it. Zach Cunningham is very strong against the run, able to shed blocks and make plays..</p> <p>He’s that new breed of 6’3″, 230-pound outside linebackers that are agile and can run. Put him in there next to Kiko Alonso and Koa Misi and they can fly around and make plays all day. The Dolphins would then stop getting gutted against the run and set up passing downs.</p> <p>If the Dolphins defense could catch up to their offense, they would be hard team to beat. And adding Cunningham would put that defense closer to catching up with them. When that finally does happen, they’ll be ready to compete with the New England Patriots for the AFC East crown. </p>. LB. Vanderbilt. Zach Cunningham. 22
