Some Monday morning thoughts
This is usually the post where I get to to the happy (or unhappy) recap on the Dolphins' game. But the damn bye week has taken that pleasure away from me. Even still, there are some thoughts that are relevant to the Dolphins that I wanted to share from Sunday's action.
But before I get into Sunday's action, let's start this thing out with a ridiculous Dolphins statistic. Did you know that Chad Henne's combined quarterback rating for his first two career starts is the highest QB rating ever for a quarterback making his first two career starts? That's right - no player has ever began his career as a starting quarterback better than Henne has. Henne has completed 71% of his passes (34/48) for 356 yards and 3 touchdowns, which results in an NFL record 112.9 passer rating. Of course, the most important stat of all for Henne is his team's 2-0 record.
When the Saints come marching in
Entering the week, the New York Giants had the top ranked overall defense and the top ranked defense against the pass. All Drew Brees and the Saints did was throw for 369 yards and four touchdowns (averaging 12.3 yards per pass attempt) en route to a 48 point output against that Giants defense. In fact, the Saints scored touchdowns on five of their first six possessions on Sunday. And on the one that wasn't a touchdown, the Saints got down to NY's 1 yard line but couldn't punch it in on 3rd or 4th down - turning the ball over on downs.
This Saints offense is going to be a huge problem to the Dolphins defense next Sunday when the Saints come down to Miami. The Saints can protect the quarterback. And they have just a ton of weapons. There probably isn't one team in this league that can throw the amount of skill players at you like New Orleans can. In fact, the Saints had seven different players score a touchdown on Sunday against the Giants, marking only the fourth time since 1970 that a team has had seven different players score a rushing or receiving TD in a single game.
They are just loaded with talent. They are easily four deep at receiver - Marques Colston, Lance Moore, Robert Meachem, and Devery Henderson - and then have Reggie Bush and Jeremy Shockey who also make plays in the passing game. And that's not even mentioning their running game - led by Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell, with some Bush mixed in. This is the NFL's most dangerous offense coming into Miami. And they pose matchup problems all over the field for the Dolphins.
The Saints used multiple formations against the Giants to keep them off balance. They also did an excellent job of attacking the middle of the field with crossing patterns while also attacking the seams with their slot receivers and tight end. My initial gameplan for next Sunday is simple - keep NO's offense off the field and then get pressure on Brees as much as humanly possible - no matter the cost. But needless to say, I'm obviously not too optimistic. Of course, on any given Sunday...
Mark Sanchez? Ouch!
Just three weeks ago, the NY media, Jet fans, and even the national media were all force-feeding this Mark Sanchez bullshit left and right. Even as we watched the Dolphins physically dominate the Jets on Monday night - and even as our own quarterback greatly outperformed Sanchez - all we heard from the MNF crew was how amazing Sanchez is and will be.
But against the same Buffalo defense that Chad Henne completed 64% of his passes against - including a touchdown and no interceptions - in his first career start, Mark Sanchez was simply terrible. He completed just 34% of his passes and threw five interceptions. And that total could have easily been higher - the Bills dropped at least two more interceptions. Regardless, Sanchez completed half as many passes to the Bills (5) as he did to his own team (10). And he's the "Sanchise"? I'm not buying it.
Over his past three games, Sanchez has completed just 45% of his passes and has a 1/8 TD/Int ratio. Most importantly, his team is 0-3. Good luck with that, Jet fans.
For more laughs, I suggest checkout out the post-game press conference (Sanchez begins at the 3:15 mark of video) and SBN's Gang Green Nation. But go easy on them - because we still do see them one more time this year and we don't want to "jinx" ourselves.
AFC Playoff Picture
It's obviously still very early, but Sunday was a pretty good day for the Dolphins as they continue to climb back into the playoff picture despite their 0-3 start. Besides the Jets loss, the Ravens and Bengals (who I still don't think are for real) both lost, dropping Baltimore to 3-3 and Cincy to 4-2. But I think the Bengals have more losses coming their way. Of course, the Texans (who I think will be in this thing all year) are the team who knocked off the Bengals, pulling themselves back to .500.
As it stands, here's how the playoff picture looks in the AFC:
Division Leaders: Colts (5-0), Broncos (5-0), Bengals (4-2), Patriots (4-2)
Wildcard #1: Steelers (4-2)
Battle for Wildcard #2: Jets, Ravens, Jaguars, and Texans are all 3-3; Chargers are 2-2; Dolphins just .5 back of the 3-3 teams
Not too bad for a team many took for dead just a few weeks back. But there are some big games coming up (Saints, Jets, Pats). However, the schedule suddenly looks less daunting beginning in week 10. The Dolphins begin a stretch against the Bucs, Panthers, Bills, Patriots, Jaguars, and Titans. Outside if New England, the other teams have a combined 7-22 record.

Great post Matty!
Over his past three games, Sanchez has completed just 45% of his passes and has a 1/8 TD/Int ratio. Most importantly, his team is 0-3. Good luck with that, Jet fans.
That was the best part! Once again karma catching up!

i cannot wait
till we hit that home stretch. I also cant wait to play the pats. That game is going to be a good gauge for us to figure out where we are. I just dont think after seeing the bills jets game this weekend, that we can use NYJ as the measuring stick to how good we are. Not saying you did that matty, just putting it out there because alot of people have had the sentiment that “we beat the jets who are really good , so we are really really good”.
IMO Jets=really not good.

i know where he's coming from
and i agree with everything he’s saying. im actually taking a step back from my homerism right now where i would usually say the superbowl comes through miami. The shitty fact is that the pats have the best rec in our division. They are the 3 SB winners in recent years past, and they are still the team to beat. Becoming a team to beat doesnt happen over night. We have to be a dominant force for a period of time to get that status.

I watched that game untill it got so out of hand
that they switched us to the Jets/Bills game. The number that they put up do look off the charts but it really did have more to do with how poorly the Titans are on defense and how there offense cant stay on the field or stop turning the ball over. They kept “forgetting” to cover Welker. I guess they missed the fact that he’s Bradys favorite target. They ran it down there throats which they cant do to us. It seemed like they always had a short field due to the turn overs. On one of the TD’s to Moss in the endzone he had to stop and come back to the ball because it was so underthrown. It should have been picked had there been even half way decent coverage. It was pathetic to watch. I know our secondary can look poor at times but some of those ducks that Brady was throwing up and then were being caught would have been picked against us.

Actually on the Super Bowl that the Colts won, when they had it won in the 4th, they faced a 4 & 5 in the Bears 15 or 20. Dungy went for it out of respect for Lovie Smith who was his understudy. He just ran straight to the middle and the Bears easily stopped them. It’s a way of saying “Im not going to humiliate you by scoring a field goal and running up the score, but Im not going to humiliate you either by taking a knee”.

Its not that Miami fans talk like that about the Pats…its that EVERYONE talks like that about the Pats. As much as we hate them, and believe me, I despite them….They’ve earned it. The only time we’ve punched them in the mouth to take their division, we tied them record wise, and their best player was out for the year……and we had the easiest schedule in NFL history…..

#1 - We did NOT play Lions 16 times last year, so it wasn't the easiest schedule in NFL history.
- - my point was NOT that we should not act like class act fans, but that I do not see the Patsies giving Phins credit.
IMHO – when Brady retires, (soon I suspect – after 2010 or 11?!?!), they will forever be like "but if Brady were still playing . . . "

That's pretty optimistic.
Henne hasn’t played in the cold weather in 2 years. Sanchez will be more accustomed to it next week… it’s a very good thing we have The Wildcat. Let’s just hope it stands up to 8-9 in the box on a bitterly cold and windy day.
The same goes for Buffalo.

Good points but
I think we’ll be able to run the ball even more effectively this time around because Jenkins is gone. He was a huge part of their run defense, its a huge loss for them. As soon as he went down the Bills were able to run the ball, and I think we and the rest of the NFL agree that we have a better running game then the Bills, maybe even the rest of the league.

I think Henne, even with the weather, is efficient enough to find some open receivers. although I don’t see him having a game like he did the first time we faced them.

Eh,
I can’t agree with this never having seen Henne play in the cold before. That’s just something you can’t be certain about. Even Marino had trouble playing in the cold… the only Miami QB I’ve ever seen who seemed to thrive in the cold was Pennington. Hopefully it was a trait that could be taught, but I doubt it.

Mardi Gras in Miami!
Although I’m a very loyal DolFan, I just can’t see us winning on Sunday. Saints have a very high octane offense game(especially in the Air) that reminds me a lot of the old Rams. With that said our safeties and Will Allen are given way too many big plays and I just don’t see that getting fixed over this bye week.

The only chance we have....
Is with total and thorough ball control. I am talking about taking the ball EVERY TIME we get it, and grinding out a 12 play, 7 minute TOUCHDOWN. Just like FGs don’t beat the Colts, they won’t beat the Saints and Drew Brees. I honestly think that if we limit the possessions that the Saints have to 8, and we score long TDs on most of our possessions, AND we finally start wrapping up tackles instead of arm tackling, we have a chance
(Sidenote: Did anyone else notice how many missed tackles we had against the Jets? That was horrible and if we continue to play Defense like that we won’t go very far, regardless of how well our offense plays.)
We will definitely need to protect the middle of the field against Brees and Company as well. In the games that they one big, they destroyed the defense over the middle. In the games that they were pushed, they didn’t get any big plays over the middle. Needless to say that we will have to put a lot of pressure on the QB. If you give Brees the time we game Sanchez, he will post a 50 spot on the scoreboard!

Good post,
haha way to keep everyone under “realistic expectations” about Henne.
Look, while I think he has been remarkable, I also believe statistics probably are a bit misleading. There are a couple of factors that statistics, much less Qb rating, take into account. For instance, in the game against Buffalo the defense either scored points itself or put the offense in a position to score, where then the running game would finish off the job. While he did throw a perfect TD pass, he wasn’t asked to do much, finishing with a 5.2 yard per completion average. Not only that, but he also fumbled the ball a couple of times in which luckily it was recovered.
The jet game was another story, but even though he did throw the long bomb to Ginn and came through in a couple of key third downs, he still had a terrific running attack that left him in ideal 2nd and 3rd down short situations. Then, when he was asked to throw the football in first down, the play calling was extremely conservative, which is also one of the main reasons he is not being intercepted. Not to mention that lots of those yards came of a screen play to Ricky. Bottom line, yes, he has been excellent and has come up big for us in the few clutch situations he has been in, but in my opinion, we should not crown him until they take off the training wheels of the offense and he has to come from behind and win a game by himself like Peyton Manning against us or Tom Brady against Buffalo week 1 this season. No running game and no defense.
by MauMontaV5 on Oct 19, 2009 1:11 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I agree - I was just pointing out a pretty sweet stat for a player after two career starts
but in my opinion, we should not crown him until they take off the training wheels of the offense and he has to come from behind and win a game by himself like Peyton Manning against us or Tom Brady against Buffalo week 1 this season. No running game and no defense.
unfortunately, Henne doesn’t even come close to having the weapons at receiver and TE that those two have. So that’s unrealistic.
by Matty I on Oct 19, 2009 1:18 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Fair enough, but you have to agree that he hasn't been
in a situation yet where he is forced to lead a drive of 6 – 8 straight passes out of the shotgun and keep the offense moving while taking risks and going for gains of 15+ every time.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that until he faces a more hostile environment coming from behind where you have to abandon the run and play with 2 or 3 interceptions on your stat sheet, I won’t be ready to declare him our official franchise qb. I need to see more
by MauMontaV5 on Oct 19, 2009 1:25 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's is so true my friend
but that will come with time, he really doesn’t have a choice on the sort of conservative game plan we put out. In my opinion, the kid looks like the real deal, compared to all the 200 QB’s we’ve experimented with since Dan the Man retired. you could just see it in his demeanor, and I can really tell he’s learned the emotional intelligence from CP10

I guess we can say Cable beat the hell out of his players last week after getting stomped by the Giants. We can hope that the Raiders have enough confidence from the upset today and the Jets cant recover next week. Atleast its a west-coast game.
Upon looking at the upside, maybe this will happen:

Keys to beating Saints
Saints Fan Here.Patssuck is correct . If the Saints have a hard time containing the wildcat we’re in for a long day. But for the first time in a long time the Saints are blessed with weapons on both sides of the ball. I believe New Orleans will be able to stack the box and play man on your recievers. Ted Ginn scares the hell out of me so we’ll have to put heavy pressure on your QB whenever the Phins do decide to drop back an pass. Can’t wait till Sunday. Good Luck but not that much. :)

Don't think so
I think that the Saints definitely have the fire power to beat our Fins, but I don’t think that they have near the balls it takes to stack the box and stop our run. I don’t think that there is a team in the league that can stop us from running the way our offensive line is dominating the LOS. If our OC can keep mixing the play calling up, we don’t turn the ball over, and kill ourselves with stupid penalties then the Saints will be forced to score on every possession, which they are capable of doing.

The saints have only gotten better and better....
Brees has been superb all along, but now with a respectable defense and a fairly consistent running game, they have shored up their weaknesses.
Are they beatable? Absolutely like any other team. Let’s not forget that the same jets team which we put up 31 points on, gave up just 10 points to the Saints offense with NO at home.
Plus we are playing at home, off a bye week, are well rested and with Henne having had more reps in practice.

Love the post and thoughts.
2 points.
- the Saints are definitely the team to beat. The BEST way to beat them is wear them down on the ground. Keep Brees OFF the field because htey will score. We have to provide pressure and seriously buckle down our secondary or they will torch us. Control the clock just like the INDY game, however try not to give up those big plays, and don’t let them march down the field with 35 seconds left in the half.
- Love the video. Don’t you love how first thing Rex does is give the Bills credit when his entire team showed us NONE last week? Think there’s still a grudge there? Also Sanchez was great, the guy is a bum and looks like the Jets are starting there patented nose dive a bit early this year
Laces out!

Wow Matty
you actually swore in a posting. I love seeing that extra emotion that the Jets seem to bring out of you. I’m sure it has nothing to do with that you live in Jersey… :-)
To give you an idea of how the usual loud and obnoxious Jets fans are coping with their recent string of losses down here in Fin-land….since the MNF game i haven’t heard a single one call into the radio station I work at. Not our regulars, not the die-hard fans…NADA. I guess Calvin Pace is a good example for the rest of Jets Nation, sore losing d-baggs who love to dish it out but are nowhere to be found when the time comes to take it like man.

Saints are clearly the best team in football
We met the Colts, arugably #2 right now, and should have won that game. Saints are better so far, they can run the ball better, have better receiving weapons and their Defense is also better.
Henne will have another big test, this Saints D is tough, they will blitz and Sharper is a master at fooling QBs with his style, he will make you think one thing and bait you.
However, how amazing will it be if we can pull this off? we need to control the clock and get the job done, and, as crazy as this will sound, our rush D will need to stop them and force them to pass.
Huh? yes, i know its Brees, but they are very good both ways and i believe we need to make them one dimensional at least, and hopefully Poter, Taylor and Wake can have the games of their lives. We will need it, from everyone!
If we can finish the Saints, Jets and Pats stretch 4-4, i think we can seriously make the playoffs.
PS : Remember when i said if Jets lost to Bills or Raiders? well, its clear they were still thinking about us :)

magic in miami?
If we can beat the saints, which i think is possible (the loss to them wont hurt them in their division)maybe we will get a little respect . I’m so tired of all the booth guys harping on the jets(sanchez) and new england (brady)please, we’ve showed we can beat them , the jets great “ravens” defense crumbled against the wildcat. This is a look that the saints are not used to seeing. Our defense needs to put a constant rush on brees, rotate cameron wake with joey, wake was awsome against the bills.Our run defense is pretty good, but i agree our secondary need tuning up, this is time for our expensive rookies to step up and have a steller game (can you say 3 int. s)this does’nt mean i take them lightly, by no means they are very good, but I think we are a much better team week in and week out we keep improving , as a team. so get out the xanex, and liquid nerve tonic boys and girls it’s on!!!!!!!

I’m not scared of the Saints, unless they hang 50 on us and we can’t seem to find the endzone, the redzone, or their half of the field. I think we pull something crazy out of a very large hat and at least keep this game close and fun until the last few seconds.

Finally SOS comes into play
Just like I said all year long SOS doesnt mean anything once the season starts look at all those dominanat teams Miami will have to play oh no lets panic ESPN Insiders Dolphins have the toughest schedule blah blah blah is all I heard Dolphins win 6 or 7 games the Wildcat wont work, ha its better this year than last just as predicted, the Dolphins will win 10 games just as I predicted when the so called “toughest schedule came out” I know we are only 2-3 but considering if the NFL didnt have a love fest with the Colts and a flag in the final seconds is thrown for PI we would have punched it in to win 31-27, we’d be 3-2, and no its weird I hear beat writers saying well Miami’s schedule isnt so bad, yet these were the same guys slamming the Dolphins saying they will never survive and duplicate any kind of success with their gimmick offense. Funny how everyone forgets SOS doesn’t mean jack once the season starts but everyone was ready to put the Dolphins in the cellar of the AFC East after they won 11 games and the division, its absurd but these morans are finally seeing we can play!!!!

Excellent post Matty!
While you write a great deal of reality in the upcoming game with the Saints, I feel that Miami has a good if not greater chance to beat them than other teams.
Miami’s offensive formations have just as much scheme. Another advantage that should not easily be discounted is that they play AT Miami. If it were at New Orleans, I wouldn’t give much of a chance to our team, but since it’s in South Florida, I say it’s even money.
