The Miami Dolphins offensive line will have a task to Garrett and Clowney.

Myles Garrett has a sack in all but two games this year and he has 1.5 sacks or more in three of those games. Clowney, starting opposite on the right side, has far less with 1.5 total sacks.

Clowney will have to go up against Terron Armstead but Garrett will go up against either Brandon Shell or Austin Jackson if he is active. Needless to say, the weakest part of the Dolphins offensive line is their right side and that is where Cleveland’s best defender lines up.

Next. Dolphins are only touching the surface of what Tua can do. dark

Miami’s offense will need to keep Garrett away from Tua Tagovailoa. He is quick off the snap and has a variety of moves to get off blocks. Tua’s quick release will help but at some point, he is going to get pressure from Garrett and depending on Clowney handles Armstead, Tua could have to have his head on a swivel.

The Browns as a team have 19 sacks on the season but Garrett clearly is their best pass rusher.

Miami’s offensive line is going to need to play well. They faced a tough Chicago Bears defense that ranks 2nd against the pass, the Browns currently rank 6th in the league.
