Great analysis and write up, especially about our offensive struggles.

Here's a sample:

"Last week I noted how the Saints started blitzing their corners off the edge when we went into the Wildcat. Well, the Jets took it a step further. They went with 4 down lineman, 2 OLB that were lined up outside the TE’s, 2 ILB and a safety or sometimes 3 ILB’s and a safety. That’s 9, 10 guys in the box at the snap of the football. No wonder our running game went no where. It’s a calculated risk because there is no one left deep, but with us running out of the formation 99% of the time it seems like a good bet. When Ricky runs across the formation the outside linebackers attack the edges funneling everything back inside. If teams are going to do this in the future then we have to try and find a way to threaten them deep with a pass from the pocket because roll outs go right into the OLB’s who are keying on Ricky and Ronnie. One potential counter, if Henne is lined up as a WR, is to have Ronnie throw a backwards pass to Henne and then have Henne hit the TE who would streak down the middle where there is no one. It’s risky, but without a consistent pass game to threaten this overloaded formation I don’t think the Fins can have much more success.

They definintely need to pass out of the formation about 10% of the time.

jesus christ, Bart Scott is being interviewed on ESPN. What a douche.

Dolphins and Gators baby!

Here's my counter...

Activate Patrick Turner, have him be the TE in the unbalanced Wildcat line.
Put Henne (or Thigpen, I don’t trust White quite yet) at WR and have him catch a lateral from Ronnie or a handoff from Ricky and throw to Turner streaking down the seam in the middle of the field.

Formation:

Abandoned the Draft Sean Smith at #25 Bandwagon to Join the Draft Sean Smith at #61 Bandwagon and get Vontae Davis and Chris Clemons. Trio > me.

you might now trust white

but just like last year, it is very likely that the Dolphins have something very special to unveil against the Pats, and White would counter this defensive alignment with Ginn on the outside.

Why does everybody think Scott is a good player?

The raw talent of the REST of the Ravens team was why they were so good.

The same reason why Sanchez is hyped.

i agree

the pass play out of the wildcat is’nt used enough, but keep in mind ronnie did try 2 pass attempts in the jets game and was sacked. that being said, with henne in there a flea flicker is’nt out of the question
