When the Saints try to ground the Dolphins, two young linemen stand in the way

If there’s a position group capable of flipping the Miami Dolphins' Week 13 matchup on its head, it’s the young, rugged interior of the Dolphins’ defensive line -- a unit headlined by first-round powerhouse Kenneth Grant and fast-rising fifth-rounder Jordan Phillips.

For all the explosiveness Miami has on offense, the ballgame could be decided in the trenches, where two developing anchors will be tested repeatedly by a New Orleans offense that, despite its own struggles, knows exactly what the numbers say about Miami’s run defense.

Maybe the best way to attack the Dolphins is the simplest: run the ball, as the Dolphins enter the week with the league’s fourth-worst run defense, allowing 142.
