Dolphins vs Jets: Discussing the key matchups

PrintIt's time to finally get into some of the key story lines for Sunday's big game between the Dolphins and Jets. We know what's at stake. We know it should be a rocking atmosphere at Sun Life Stadium. Now let's focus in on some of the key matchups for this game.
To do so, let's welcome in John B from Gang Green Nation - SBN's Jets blog. John and I each selected two key matchups for Sunday's game and discussed them. If you head over to GGN today, you can check out my thoughts on the two key matchups that John asked me to discuss.
Below are John's thoughts on the two matchups that I asked him about.
Brandon Marshall vs Antonio Cromartie
What kind of a corner plays poorly for a game and a half then totally shuts down Randy Moss? Welcome to the Antonio Cromartie experience. Cromartie might be the most physically gifted corner in the game. I would argue he has more God given ability than Darrelle Revis. The issue is consistently getting the most of that ability. That was the story of his career in San Diego. A terrific 2007 was followed by so so seasons in 2008 and 2009. When Cromartie uses his size and athleticism properly in press coverage, there might not be a receiver in the league capable of getting open.
That's what makes this matchup so interesting. Nobody knows what Cromartie will bring to the table. If he raises his game like he did covering Moss, Marshall will have a tough time doing anything. If not, Marshall will go nuts.
The two matched up five times after Cromartie took a starting job with the Chargers during the 2007 campaign. These matchups don't give a much clearer picture. Marshall went nuts with an 18 catch game against San Diego in 2008. He averaged 5 catches for 51 yards in the other four. The schemes and supporting casts were different, which makes a comparison difficult. They also didn't match up for the entire game.
I doubt the Jets will leave Cromartie alone like they would with Darrelle Revis. Marshall should have safety help almost full time. That is an advantage for Miami because that guy would be free to blitz, stack the box, or clog passing lanes on the other side if Revis was in the lineup.
Cameron Wake/Koa Misi vs D'Brickashaw Ferguson/Damien Woody
This is a battle between two guys with great track records off to slow starts against less proven guys off to terrific starts. Pass protection has been an issue for the Jets early in the year. The two tackles have not played particularly well. It might be tempting to say Ferguson's issues have been related to not having Alan Faneca next to him, but the primary reason the Jets dropped Faneca was the guard's noticeable decline in pass blocking. Ferguson should be fine. His athleticism leaves him well equipped to handle Wake or Misi. He has stonewalled an impressive array of pass rushers in his young career.
The other side of this matchup should have Jets fans concerned and Dolphins fans excited. Damien Woody is a road grater. When he locks on to a defender, he has his way. He can have trouble, though, with athletic linebackers with a quick first step so the Jets might be wise to give him a bit of help against either of Miami's impressive looking outside linebackers.
My Quick Thoughts
I think that Marshall should win the battle with Cromartie more often than not only because Cromartie has been known to shy away from contact. Brandon, meanwhile, is as physical a receiver as they come. Like John says, though, the biggest impact from this matchup will be how the Jets have to adjust their defense to account for Marshall. That could mean fewer blitzes and favorable matchups for Miami's other receivers.
As for the pass rush, I think that this is where the Dolphins have a big advantage. In pass-rushing situations, the Dolphins always put Wake on the left side of the defense - meaning he's matched up with the opposing offense's right tackle. There's a huge advantage for the Dolphins. Like John pointed out, speed rushers give Woody trouble. Wake is the prototypical speed rusher and should give Woody fits all game long.

From what I've seen in the two season games.....
Wake and Misi switch sides depending on which side is the strong side (or whichever side the TE is on). Either way, I’m pretty sure the Jets will use a RB/TE to chip block Wake to slow him down.
But I think the real match-up to watch in this game will be our OL against the Jets front seven. Will they be able to handle the rush as well as they did last year? Will they be able to open the kinds of holes they did against Minn. more consistently?
I used to think I had a drinking problem.
So I stopped thinking.
It would be great if they use a RB or TE to chip block Wake.
That would just leave one less check down option for the new Captain checkdown.
Dolphins and Gators baby!
Not to mention
Cam Wake beat a double-team to get the strip-sack against Minnesota, so a double-team isn’t even guaranteed to stop him.

The Vikings tried that
they have a strip-six to show for it.

Speaking of Wake
His conditioning looks just fine. He has 2 sacks in 2 games as a full-time starter… you know playing every down. So far he is just as effective as he was when he was just a situational pass rusher, funny right?
And Minnesota already tried chip blocking Wake and he still got to Favre.

Im not being a Debbie Downer
but lets wait for the season to progess
I feel ya on that
But buddy over here kept talkin about how wake got his sacks last year because he was a situational pass rusher and wouldn’t be able to produce like that as a full time starter because of his conditioning or somethin like that. Well 2 sacks in 2 games is a good start not to mention he beat a double team also, so there is no doubt wake can play at an NFL level, all that “he played in the CFL” crap can go out the window.

i think he was stating that it was a concern until he proved otherwise.

but i think you need to wait until farther into the season to call it
i have been a wake supporter all along, but i am only now cautiously optimistic. He reminds me a bit of ogunleye. Let’s hope he doesn’t fizzle out after teams start to focus on him. =)

Yea thats the thing with pass rushers
he’s hot right now but he might cool down a little later. But as long as he keeps showing up when it matters then its all good. Like Porter in 08’. If Wake gets 17 sacks this year he’s official.

The 2nd half of our season gets easier ...
How many sacks do you think he will have against Cleveland, Oakland, and Detroit?
Yes, I admit I have CLS... which might actually be a good thing, I was positive we were going to win it all with Saban, then with Cam ... and even last season... I wasn't expecting much in 2008 though ... Hopefully its unfounded ... we will see....

At least 2 a piece
against Oakland and Detroit. But Cleveland has a good LT in Joe Thomas, so It wont be easy against him.

Finally someone who reads my comments!!!
I really don’t know what Deuce’s problem is. I never said Wake wouldn’t produce, nor did I ever say he wouldn’t produce as much. I said exactly what you just said, and I’m still not sold after 2 games. If he can keep this up the whole season, I’m all for giving him the props he’ll deserve. Until then, I’ll wait and see.
I used to think I had a drinking problem.
So I stopped thinking.
i try to be objective

I never said Wake wouldn’t produce, nor did I ever say he wouldn’t produce as much. I said exactly what you just said, and I’m still not sold after 2 games.
Are you sure about that?
That just emphasizes my point about Wake.
My doubts about Wake’s ability stem from the fact he’ll be playing every down, and won’t be as effective as he was last year as a situational rusher.

There’s no formula, it’s common sense.
I never said he couldn’t go through a full game. I was stating he wouldn’t be as effective through a full game, compared to the limited snaps we’ve seen him play.

Unfortunately it's off the mark again.
Which doesn’t surprise me. It’s the norm when dealing with Deuce, which is why I’ve given up trying. I’ve got more important things to do with my time than continue to prove someone wrong who’s always wrong.

I've tried.
But I’ve only got so much patience, and unfortunately it’s run out. It would help if I actually saw some improvement, but it’s the same thing every time.
His rebuttal up above is a perfect example of him not reading my comments or taking them out of context. I expressed DOUBTS as to Wake’s ability to be as effective as an every down player. That does not mean I said he WILL NOT BE as effective. He also fails to address my comments where I have stated that Wake has shown the potential to be a good pass rusher, but I’m reserving that judgment till I see him play more than 167 snaps.
I used to think I had a drinking problem.
So I stopped thinking.
Just relax man. Its not all that important now is it?

My final reply, putting things into context.
You’re as bad as reporters who like to misquote people and take what they say out of context. So let’s look at the same statement in it’s proper context.
My original argument:
Everyone doesn’t seem to realize that the reason Wake was so explosive last year was because he played limited snaps. Now that he might be playing running downs as well, will he still have the same explosiveness by the end of the game or end of the season?
Wake only played 167 snaps last year. It’s likely to increase to at least 500 this year. He only had one game of more than 30 snaps last year. Does he have the motor to keep it up for 50-60 snaps a game?
That’s why I had to call it too close to call. I believe we have the advantage in regards to ILB, but until Wake can prove he can go for a full game, and Misi can be productive as a rookie. I think the Pats have the advantage at OLB.
Finhead83 replied:
Wake played every down while in the CFL and amasses massive sack numbers. Granted, it is still different, but it at least shows Wake does have stamina. He was also doing that at DE, where it can be really tiring since you have an OT getting his hands on you every down. I do think Wake has questions, but I don’t think his endurance is one.
To which there was a small debate about whether 18 games in the CFL is equivalent to 16 games in the NFL. Which led me to summarize what I was originally arguing without having to re-post the whole comment.
This is so tiring. You’re just not worth the effort anymore.
I used to think I had a drinking problem.
So I stopped thinking.
Luvs to change his story
You said Wake would get tired because he was playing better talent and if he plays better talent he would somehow spend all his energy like he was just complacent in the CFL. Eating those words now in a good way?

Actually I said it was a possibility, not a given fact.
And I would reserve my opinion on how good he might be until I see him play more than 167 snaps, unlike so many others who have already anointed him a 10+ sack season before the season started. Then he gets 2 sacks in two games and all of a sudden he’s going to get 20+ sacks and he’s the greatest thing since LT.
You and Deuce really need to read a person’s comments before replying. Re-read the comments I posted about Wake right above your comment. It’s straightforward and to the point, not very difficult to understand.
I used to think I had a drinking problem.
So I stopped thinking.
You know, that's it. I'm done with you.
You obviously have no idea as to the point I was trying to get across about Wake. But what more can I expect from the guy who says 2010 is the year of the Ginn. Clearly you’re delusional and I’m no longer considering anything you say as being even close to relevant. Don’t bother replying to this or any other comment I make, cause it won’t be read or replied to.

Are you planning on doing this every week?
What will your response be if he doesn’t get a sack one week? Oh, I know. You’ll use some kind of excuse that he was focused on more in that game.
What’s even funnier is I’m not the only one who’s optimistic about the guy. But you wouldn’t know that since you don’t read anybody’s comments. Oh, and by the way, Wake still isn’t playing full time. Moses played most of the 3rd quarter for Wake. So much for that conditioning theory of yours.

Wake over Woody Marshall over Cromartie
Henne over dirty Sanchez Dolphins over jest. Loved what the defense did to Favre Hope we can repeat! Off to chase moose again but I’ll be back by game time. Go Phins Go gators f—-k all you haters.
the only concern I have when the Jets offense is on the field
is there TE, we always seem to have trouble covering the TE, no matter who it is. if we can get that situated i think we are straight. we’ll get pressure on Sanchez, our corners will lock down their receivers, especially with Holmes and Edwards out, i see their offense looking pretty anemic like it was week 1, last week was a fluke and against a spotty secondary. i see us forcing turnovers, and completely frustrating Sanchez. When we have the ball, i am a bit more concerned. our o-line needs to be on their A game to protect Henne and open up lanes for Ricky and Ronnie. Marshall will be just fine against Cromartie, Henne just needs the time to get him the ball.
I see us winning this game, go 3-0 on the season, 4 consecutive against the Jests, 1st place in the division

I think Edwards will play...he just won't start.
Otherwise, I agree on all counts. Their TEs will be the main danger, but I see Bobby Carpenty and Smith nipping that in the bud quick. If we can stop the TEs and shut down LT and that other guy….we should be just fine.
3-0 here we go!

Who knows what that means. That could be he won’t be tehre on the first offensive play of the game and then every play thereafter.

Which would essentially mean he got little more than a slap on the hand.

Well, we had the chance to sign him
and we passed. So it wouldn’t surprise me that if we did sign him, he’d be on a leash, therefore he’d most likely be cut, and we have Marshall, so the cost wouldn’t be as severe.

I saw Rex’s press conference yesterday. Not that I think you will ever change your opinion of him, but it seemed to me like he was torn. Said all the right things, but it looked like he wanted to explode and just rip Edwards to shreds. I kind of think this decision came from up on high.
However, I am sure we will revisit this conversation later in the year when someone, oh lets say Brandon Marshall gets in trouble, what your thoughts will be on punishment then :)

Actually, I think I read somewhere
that if the Jets suspended him for the game that it would violate a rule in the CBA that the player’s union put in. So I don’t think that they could have done that without the player’s union stepping in and making a fuss about it.
I’m not sure where that article would be posted at, I saw it on the NFL Headlines section on my phone.

Well, throwing a pick in Baltimore would have been a very tough ordeal, considering the length of his throws
He played well against NE and had his best career game. And neither has any kind of decent secondary atm. This will be a better challenge for the the young Sanchez, and probably serve as a better benchmark.

This is by far the best secondary he has faced this year(as a complete unit). I am also thinking this is a big reason why Henne has been so gun shy so far this season.

more throws to fasano
getting marshall was supposed to open up the middle so we can use fasano alot more . against the vikes it was the same old story fasano blocking the whole game , and only getting one look from henne. fasano is a potent weapon thats being wasted . ihope they find a way to use him as a receiver in the jet game, again he can own the middle against the jets and he’s also a legitimate threat in the red zone. lets get this guy bmore involved and then you’ll see the offense become deadly
I wouldnt say wasted, but underutilized...
The problem, is… Henne always seems to look to his running back as his second read, and not Fasano over the middle. AND… he only seems comfortable thowing “over the top” routes his way. Not just referencing the nice throw in week 1, but thats the type of routs Fasano is typically on. He has very solid hands (except last year) and should be an earlier read for Henne.

Throw to Win...
Henne has to get in a rhythm this game or they stack the box except for Marshall, and it is very tough sledding for us on Sunday. Sanchez is still a work in progress, but played very well in both games against Miami last year. The first one, came down to the wire and he almost put together a very nice game winning drive, and the 2nd game – well lets face it, without the 2 returns – we lose.
Lot of talk so far seemingly taking Sanchez lightly, but I think coming off a nice performance last week, he brings a confident gameplan on Sunday. We need to overestimate.
I agree with you here...
I want to see Miami air it out this game. It would make a statement that this team can win in different ways, whether it be ground and pound or that we can air it out. Marshall, 9 catches, 126 yards, 2 TD’s. Lets go!!

they are mainly referring to last season
first the “wildcat” thing, with pace et al talking about it being a gimmick, and the jets D making our no name QB look like Marino (like the fins didn’t win it, the jets lost the game themselves), and second when we won with two Ginn KRs – the ol’ “We had you beat on Offense and Defense, and you just got lucky!”.

And I for once winced when I heard Rex and Pace make their comments. Now the first gmae, a very good game by both teams, yeah it hurts because I feel we were so close to winning that game. But in the end all you needed to do was look at the scoreboard and see who had more points. This isn’t figure skating or gymnastics, the team that scores the most points wins, and the Dolphins did just that.
The second game, and again not to take anything away from you guys you are taught that you win 2 out of the 3 battles (offense, defense, and ST) you win the game. We feel we won the offensive and defensive battles. All we lost was the ST battle, and how important is that. Well enough for you guys to win. So yeah I was beside myself with what seemed as such an illogical game. But those things happens. Look at you guys against the Colts last year. Can you explain that game? But in the end you won, we lost. I along with many, many Jet fans took nothing away from you guys. You hear from a few jerk offs and you think everyone is like that.
Now excuse me as I prepare my top five excuses on that off chance we lose this game lol.

He is arguably the best center in the league and handled Vince Wilfork, Starks will not make much of an impact on Nick.
Uh...
Vince Wilfork and Randy Starks are 2 completely different players. Starks is a slim, quick, and athletic type of player (not to mention disruptive). Very similar to Jay Ratliff, he’s just not your traditional 3-4 nose tackle.

Wilfork is one of the top 5 NTs
He is extremely powerful, explosive, and athletic.I’ve watched Mangold play for 3 seasons, he isn’t going to be consistently beaten regardless of how quick Starks is. I guarantee you Mangold limits Starks. No homerism in this statement btw:) Mangold is on another level than Starks.
Whatever you say man
We’ll see what the deal is on Sunday night.

Very true.
Hopefully I don’t eat my words.
I wouldn't say that he is on another level ...
It will be a good matchup for sure. To be honest, I hope Starks can win it, but I am not sure. If he can win it, it will go a long way to proving me wrong that he doesn’t have the ideal size to beat the better Centers in the league. I am anxious to see how things turn out. I would not say that he is not in the same league, he is definately an amazing football player, he just might be better suited as a DE or 3rd down NT….
Yes, I admit I have CLS... which might actually be a good thing, I was positive we were going to win it all with Saban, then with Cam ... and even last season... I wasn't expecting much in 2008 though ... Hopefully its unfounded ... we will see....

This should be a Laydown for Gang Green........
Jets will win this onw hands down…we have way too much talent on the running and passing game… defense will shut down marshall and wake…….and as far as ricky is concerned he is old. Why are you guys forgetting Jayson Taylor?………………………

Nope, never ran across any of his posts. And we will shut down Wake, lol
España 2010 Campenoes del Mundo!!!
Yes, but Wake is a defensive player
He should mean that your offense will… which I doubt very much. His Forced fumble cam against a double team. He’s probably one of the best I’ve ever seen. He’ll be all over the news by the end of the season.

Maybe if Santonio, Pace, Revis, and Mangold were all playing, you'd be somewhat competitive...
but in this current incarnation, Miami would be disappointing with anything less than a blowout.

could it be
that we are righting off Taylor because he is older than Ricky? WTF is your logic here? Ricky is old, so he doesnt matter…..yet Taylor is older than Ricky and he is your proving point? This is why it is impossible to argue with the scholars that Jets fans really are. Talent does your team no good when they are sitting at the trainers table during the game, genius.

Plus I would argue that Taylor has more mileage on him than Ricky.
Age aside Ricky did take an extended “I’m gonna go find myself/smoke some weed” vacation in the middle of his career. JT had in that same time missed very few games.

You know,

How did that work out for you?

See what you are doing there??
You are using logic again … and citing history…. next thing you will be trying to do is bring facts to our little conversation with this guy….

damn, i want a hit of w/e your smoking if you think the Jets scoring 35
the 28 points last week were a fluke, against a team with a very spotty secondary. the Dolphins D is closer to the Ravens than the Pats, the Jets will be lucky to get more than 20…now the Dolphins score prediction, it not too far fetched judging by our first 2 games…i see us scoring 13-20 points

Although I definitely want to see
that the Phins offense can score a number of points that is double digits and doesn’t end in with “-teen”, “-elve”, “-even”, or “-en”.
But I do agree with you, considering your guys’ defense and if ours continues to play the way it has been, I see this game being a low scoring grindfest.

Ignore it. The guy has zero credibility when he calls Ricky old but then says we have forgotten about JT.
Also the ignorance is rampant to claim that we forgot a guy when there is a post on the front page of the site dedicated to the return of the same player. The guy must be a genius!

Well
In his defense RBs have a shorter shelf life than OLBs usually.. However, most RBs aren’t as “medicated” as Ricky… Remember Ricky took a year off and that did have an effect on his body. He plays much younger than your average over 30 RB.
JT took some time off too … but to get in touch with his more feminine side…

man, im so excited for the game!!! its gonna be amazing!!!
Miami's Superstarts: Brandon Marshall, Karlos Dansby, Vontae Davis (just wait), Lebron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and Hanley Ramirez :)
Bold prediction
Jets will use their safeties mainly in run support and blitzes, and keep his CBs in single man coverage
This is not a knock on Marshall, but they will focus on stopping the run and blitzing Henne into mistakes. Or otherwise take what Miami likes to do best : run the ball
Dan Henning has been too predictible and to me the biggest factor can be the playcalling on offense. As great as Nolan has been a pick up, and you cam see what he has done with this defensive unit, both coaching and play calling, DH has been IMO the biggest liability in offense
You have Brandon Marshall against a weak secondary (Vikings) so you call 15 pass plays in the game? Marshall had more CATCHES alone several times in his career! (catches not targets)
They need to let Henne loose and mix up the plays
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
by MoLimits on Sep 23, 2010 9:35 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
If you give him the one-on-one matchup...
Even Henning is not dumb enough to pass up on it. What I would like to see is him take a shot down the field even when there is a double team. I mean, obviously this isn’t the first season teams have decided they should try to double team Brandon Marshall, is it?
