Good idea so I tried testing this. However not only does this not seem to work, I'm not sure sweeping wind even works with resolve.
Super scientific testing methodology - took my inferno character up vs. a single stygian crawler and watched damage numbers. They ranged between lower 300s all the way to 600. The only time I ever saw sub-300 numbers was right after a bare-handed unruned deadly force. (And I spent quite a while watching.) Neither submission nor winds were able to do this by themselves, and the damage seemed the same as when I was running neither.
