DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins are about to hit the road running.After three consecutive wins at home thanks to a newfound ground attack, the Dolphins will embark on a West Coast swing, playing Sunday at the San Diego Chargers and Nov. 20 at the Los Angeles Rams. The team will spend the week between games in California.Were going to see what type of team we really are, left tackle Branden Albert said Monday. Weve got to stay grounded, stay humble.It should be easy to stay grounded. Emerging star Jay Ajayi has rushed for 529 yards in the past three games and leads the NFL at 5.9 yards per carry.Ajayi ran for 111 yards in Sundays win over the New York Jets, who came into the game with the NFLs top-ranked run defense. It was an impressive encore by Ajayi after consecutive 200-yard games, and further evidence the Dolphins have found a recipe for success.Theyre 4-4 and have a shot at their first four-game winning streak since 2008, which happens to be the last time they made the playoffs. Miami rallied past the Jets by wearing them down , and Ajayi netted 55 yards in the fourth quarter.I reminded our guys again today -- dont let me go away from Jay, said Adam Gase, the first-year coach, play-caller and quarterback guru by reputation. Dont allow me to start getting in that rhythm of just throwing the ball.The reason Jay is so effective is hes a guy who runs very angry. When you do that for four quarters, eventually the other team is going to break. Hes a big back who runs hard and runs through contact. The key for us is the attempts, staying with it, finding that rhythm. Eventually its going to work out for us.Gase has stuck with the plan for three games, with the Dolphins running the ball 109 times and throwing it 78 times (58 percent runs). In the first five games, they ran 92 times and threw 164 times (36 percent runs), and went 1-4.The transformation is such that leading receiver Jarvis Landry caught only three passes for 33 yards Sunday.Ive got to do a better job of getting Jarvis the ball, Gase said. Anytime we put the ball in his hands, he makes something happen. Its my job to make sure our best player on offense is getting the ball.Whether Landry is Miamis best offensive player is debatable, because theres growing competition. Ajayi? Albert? One of the other blockers in an increasingly dominant line?Ajayi, a Brit who knows his Beatles, refers to his blockers as the Fab Five.I feel confident every time behind those guys, he said. I know theyre going to create creases, and then its just about hitting it hard and breaking tackles.Ajayi makes it sound simple, and his confidence is fed by heady success. The Dolphins beat the rival Jets at home for the first time since the 2011 season. The victory was their second in the AFC East, one more than all of last year. Theyve won four home games, one more than all of last year.More winning means fewer no-shows, and Sundays crowd was perhaps the largest and noisiest in several years.I feel like people are starting to believe in us, Albert said. Were starting to fill the seats back up. Four weeks ago there was nobody in the seats.Now Miami hits the road, pledging the trip will be all business amid the many temptation of Southern California. Gase smiled when asked if hell impose a curfew next week.Maybe, he said. Well see how Sunday goes.Game notesCB Chris Culliver, who suffered a serious knee injury a year ago, was activated from the reserve/physically unable to perform list, and CB Lafayette Pitts was promoted to the active roster from the practice squad.
