Pats've got Mayo, a rookie, playing inside, and the Dolphins went to that unbalanced play primarily to seal him and to double the weak OLB, Adalius Thomas, with the tight end and tackle. Turns the play into a dive/sweep option based on what Bruschi does. Motion man kicks the CB and the receiver stalk blocks the safety.
The Pats defense had trouble with that play for most of the day because one of their ILBs is not a vet.
The other point the Dolphins exploited on the wide runs was new CB Deltha O'Neal, who is a primarily a cover corner and can't tackle. Then he blew his cover on Ronnie Brown's TD throw. Dumb, but there's hope he'll learn his responsibilities better.
