The Miami Dolphins need to get to Aaron Rodgers as often as possible and they, preferably, need to do it with only the front 4.

I know we’ve been asking for this all year, especially after the Miami Dolphins traded for Bradley Chubb. But, it would be phenomenal if this week Josh Boyer and the rest of the defensive line figured out how they can get to the QB.

Aaron Rodgers, to me, is lying in the weeds just waiting to make some team look foolish for believing he’s punted on this season and is thinking about backpacking in Peru under the influence of whatever the locals are into. If you blitz Rodgers and you don’t get to him, he will find Christian Watson or Allen Lazard on a deep crosser. I’ve seen it a billion times.

To prevent that, I’d love to see Christian Wilkins use the rage I hope he’s feeling from not being selected to the Pro Bowl and completely blow up the A-Gap. With a guy like Rodgers who isn’t looking to run around too much, personally, throwing his guards and center in his lap really disrupts what he wants to do.

But that doesn’t mean that Chubb, and the ever-ascending Jaelan Phillips just get to hang back. They need to use all their moves and try and get into the groove of getting home.

I’d also like to see more Andrew Van Ginkel on the field as well. Seems like when he’s in there, stuff happens. I like when stuff happens.
