We’ve got everybody contributing on the pass rush.  We’ve got a bunch of good guys who are working very, very hard at it.  Joey obviously has got the highest number of sacks.  There are things that you try to do.  I’m not going to get into the strategy of how we try to get him one-on-one, but we’re constantly trying across the front there with everybody.At times you see two guys on Vonnie Holliday. That’s going on across the board, not only to Joey.  We just have to do a good job of what we do on third down and what we do in the pass rush.”

“I think that when it comes to interceptions for the secondary, Will and the rest of the guys back there, sometimes it’s a little bit streaky.  Sometimes you get your hands on the ball, but you’re not catching them.  Then you run into a period of time where you are doing it.  I think it gets hot and cold, but he’s certainly capable of picking the ball off.  He’s certainly capable of catching the ball.  At one point, I thought he was capable of being a wide receiver.  I think that he certainly can catch the ball.   you keep working on being in good position, you keep working on your vision on the ball.  I think eventually that will happen.”

Yeremiah Bell is not blitzing as much as he has in the past

 When I talk about his burst and his quickness, and YB (Yeremiah Bell) has got that burst and that toughness about him, too.

Tony Sparano pointed the finger squarely on the defenses inability to tackle.

My rewind of Sunday’s game was accurate. The Dolphins missed tackles , and a lot of those whiffs occurred late in the third and fourth quarter when the Dolphins needed the defense to hold.

"I'm worried about number 11,'' coach Tony Sparano said. "That's the biggest fish that's sitting out there right now.''

Sparano was asked when he started thinking about the Jets.

"After I shook [coach Herm Edwards'] hands.''

Pennington / Favre won't be the first time this week you see the two compared -- also has completed 67 percent of his passes, but he is rated 18th in the NFL. Favre has thrown for more TDs (21), but far more INTs (19) and fewer yards (3,239). Favre was brought in ostensibly to stretch the field in ways Pennington couldn't, but Pennington has the lead in yards per attempt, 7.7 to 6.7.   "Honestly, without taking anything away from the Jets, we felt like we lost that game," cornerback Andre Goodman said. "They did what they had to do in terms of making the plays; the fluke play that was in the end zone and then the first play was just a boneheaded play on my part. You take away a couple plays in that game and we're on top of that game."

The compelling subplot from that first meeting has only thickened.

attitude now is expecting to win instead of hoping to win."
