Dolphins vs Jets: Recipe for victory
Continuing on with our preview of the Dolphins' Sunday night's home opener against the Jets (and if you're going, remember what you have to do), it's time to discuss some of the keys to the game. Below are my three keys to the game for the Dolphins. Following each are some thoughts from John B of Gang Green Nation - giving a Jet perspective to each of my three keys.
Read them over below and be sure to head over to GGN to see my Dolphin perspective on John's three keys for the Jets.
1. Win on first down. This is a key for both the Dolphins offense and defense. Offensively, the Dolphins need to gain positive yardage on those early downs to keep themselves out of third and long situations. The Dolphins are just 3 for 14 on third down and six yards or more to go. And we all know that the aggressive Jets defense will bring the house at Chad Henne in those situations. Defensively, the Dolphins have done a good job on third downs, with opposing teams converting only 29% (8 for 28). Conversely, the Jets have been terrible on third downs, converting only 29% (7 for 24). And in third down situations with six or more yards to go, the Jets are just 3 for 11. If the Dolphins can win on first down on both sides of the ball, they will give themselves a great chance to be 3-0 on Monday morning.
John's Rebuttal: I don't really have a ton to add here. The Dolphins have a tough time on third and long. The Jets thrive on it defensively. Life will be much easier for Miami if they can see third and short.
2. Take away Dustin Keller. The Dolphins have had trouble for years covering athletic pass-catching tight ends. Last week against the Vikings, despite some very good coverage at times, Visanthe Shiancoe still caught six balls for 86 yards, creating some big plays down the seam against this Miami defense. Mark Sanchez obviously loves throwing to Dustin Keller. Keller has been targeted on 14 of Sanchez's 51 pass attempts - more than any other player on the roster. He caught seven passes for 116 yards and a touchdown a week ago. But if a combination of Karlos Dansby, Yeremiah Bell, Chris Clemons, and Sean Smith - yes, I think he's going to be a secret weapon in defending Keller on Sunday - can contain Keller, Sanchez will be forced to look elsewhere for completions - which is exactly what the Dolphins will want him to do.
John's Rebuttal: I think the Dolphins are much better equipped to handle a guy like Keller than they were a year ago. They have made upgrades at the linebacker and safety positions. Jason Allen's emergence would allow them to use Smith on Keller if Mike Nolan so chose. Keller is a guy with a lot of talent but has not yet shown he can consistently bring it at a high level week to week. In any event, he's not really a game breaker like Dallas Clark. I would say Braylon Edwards is the guy the Dolphins really need to take away. He can change a game in a single play.
3. Open up the offense. With the Jets likely missing Darrelle Revis on Sunday night, the Jets' depth at cornerback will be challenged. Antonio Cromartie moves up to the number one spot and will likely be matched up with Brandon Marshall all game. That's a matchup the Dolphins have to exploit. Cromartie is not too fond of contact and Marshall is one of the most physical receivers in the league. Perhaps even more importantly, Brian Hartline and Davone Bess will be in favorable matchups against New York's third and fourth corners. If there was ever a game to open the offense up and attack down the field, this is it. Let's see how far Chad Henne has come since last year.
John's Rebuttal: I'm not so sure I agree that Bess and Hartline have the edge in their matchups. The Jets established solid depth at corner in the offseason. Rookie Kyle Wilson will start in Revis' place. He had early struggles, but really played well after Revis left last week. Dwight Lowery will become the third corner. He has 15 career starts in 2+ seasons. He doesn't handle speedy receivers well, but Hartline doesn't seem like the kind of guy who will give him a ton of trouble. The Jets will give Cromartie help on Marshall. If Miami has an edge in the other areas, I don't think it is pronounced. The Dolphins are a run first team. I would pound the ball and try to use the September Miami heat to wear down a Jets defensive front that has a lot less depth without Kris Jenkins.
Thanks to John for taking part in these posts the past two days. And remember to head over to Gang Green Nation to see his keys for the Jets and how I respond to each.

No more cover 0 without revis?
I want man to man on Marshall.. Whenever Henne sees that he always attacks. Maybe short intermediate passes to BM19 is what we’ll see alot, and force CRO to make a tackle.

i think we see
alot of go routes from BM19. maybe he gets open deep, but more likely he will pull the safety help to the outside. leaving rooom for bess/fasano to rip up big chunks of yardage in the middle. i want to see another screen to ricky when the jets do send everyone.

I was expecting "Nuh uh" as a response
but I have to agree with John on his last point. I also think that we should continue to pound the ball into the Jets D. Pass first is not the best strategy against a blitz happy team with a QB still figuring it out. Passing at opportune times after establishing the run and then using play action or screens is the way to go.

Its hard to blitz everybody
when you continue to run the ball. Thats how big runs happen without layers to defend.

i could have sworn
i just read this article on facebook….
I don't see how Smith would play on Keller
Jason Allen and Vontae will be the starting CB’s. The Fins will obviously utilize a Nickel corner on various downs, which is Sapp’s role. Unfortunate for Smith, his body type makes him an excellent boundary corner, but prevents him from being effective as a Nickel corner.
Also I do not see the Fins matching any CB up on a TE unless it is a true passing down. When the TE lines up on the end of the line, it sucks the CB in that is covering them and creates a great match up for the offense to block the CB with the TE on running plays.
So unless the TE is split out in the slot, or is in tight on a true passing down, manning up Smith or any CB on a TE, makes it a liability in Run support.
The Patriots Suck
Now yes Dime situations make sense
However, the Defense has to set up for the offense is doing, and a Dime situation may not present its self often.
My suggestion, use a Safety. If the TE is in tight, the Safety drops in the box, this way he can man on the TE or be in run support…. also a Safety and LB doubling Keller in a zone could work too.
The Patriots Suck
Matching Smith on Keller frees up Dansby for run support and puts Sean in a perfect
position, if Keller extends his rout beyong the second level of our defense.

But also puts the Jets in perfect position to
run the ball at Smith. Smith on the field would mean a LB would be off the field, and I guarantee Smith can not set the edge as well as an LB can. Again this is in the situation of 2 or 3 WR set and Keller as the TE. In 4 WR sets or 4 receivers and a very slim chance they run, it can work. But thats hard to predict.
The Patriots Suck
Unpredictable
The key for Miami’s offense is being unpredictable. Throw on first down, play actions passes, run on long downs, screens cutback runs. I would love to see a 60% runs but not out of our usual formations and not always on first down. Keep the passing to short safe passes and hope to burn them on a blitz or two.
They will bring pressure so Henne needs to be able to make the quick read and dump it out for the quick completion and hope the receivers can break a few.
its the jets....
they will blitz early and often. we know it. they know it. the whole NFL knows it. just have to stop it
This is the game Henne has to win it for us
Our D can hold them down. Can Henne make the plays when the blitz is coming. Running for a yard or throwing it away is not gonna work. I hope he can show us something Sunday night. I’ll be howling for him.
Doesn't think hartline and bess
have an edge over Wilson, really? Don’t get me wrong I liked Wilson a lot and mocked the pats for takin McCourtey over Wilson, but it doesn’t change the fact that he is a rookie. Rookie corners struggle in this league. Wilson can probably play pretty well against Hartline. Now Lowery or Wilson have no shot against Bess.
no shot is a little strong a statement
but i would give Bess the edge in that matchup.
Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....
IMPEACH DOLAN!!!!
Chunk yardage...
… the Dolphins need to get chunks of yards on any of their downs.
The Jets have not shown any propensity to stop the Wildcat. Miami must test this often to see if they can be stopped. The Wildcat is also a very good counter to the blitz.
The Dolphins must test all of the Jets’ corners, early and often… rookies, third & fourth, and Cromartie. They must find a way to get chunks of yards.

I am not sure about that
Ronnie was injured in the tampa bay game which was nov 15th and the second jets game was nov 1st.
What I do think MAY have changed in the wildcat though is the little heralded role of Patrick cobbs who was injured in the first monday game with the jets. While ronnie is certainly more important, I do think issues with the wildcate cropped up after cobbs went down because he plays his role so well. I am not certain, but that cold have been the difference. I also wonder about our O-line issues inpacting the WC as well.

The key to this game on both sides is good 'ol nasty football.
Hit em in the mouth! Ram it down their throats. Tackle hard. Knock the B’jesus out of the QB. LEAVE BRUISES. That type of football. Whoever fights hardest and longest wins. You know…..REAL football….where everyone gets dirty, everyone get torn up and everyone goes home sore. That’s what I see here.

Matty I think you should make this line a little more clear that you're talking about the Jest offense
Conversely, the Jets have been terrible on third downs, converting only 29% (7 for 24)
Other than that great write up, I cant wait till Sunday to watch us put whoopin on lil Sanchez an CO.

I think that they are basing everything off of last week. I find it funny that no one is taking in
to account that its quite possible that this is going to be an off year for the Pats and that the fact that they have been trading off good/starter caliber players in the last couple of years shows that they are in a rebuilding mode. Sure in a year or two they will be right back up there but I think at this point they are probably the 3 best team in the division and would be 4th if the Bill were not so poor. I get that it was against Brady but last time I checked one player can not get it done on his own.

And I am just guessing but the Pats of old would not have laid down as easily to the Jets
and Sanchez. Sanchez was terrible in one game and good in another. Only one can be the truth. I am going to guess that based off of last year and the pre-season that its the first. We shall see. You never know with Billicheat. He might get the Pats going again as the year rolls along but for now they look like a shadow of their former selves.

The Jets killed themselves on third down
They gave up ovewr 100 yds on penalties and kept, I think it was five, Raven drives alive with penalities.
They were only a little more disciplined vs NE giving up 58 yds in pen yardage.

we will run the ball in tight formations
and throw out of max protect, our shots downfield will be very calculated, we will wait til we see the safety blitz then max protect for henne and bomb it to marshall. the jets, to offset our outstanding pass rush and linebacker play, will try to go spread formation or trips and run LT out of the spread so its just 5 on 5 up the middle, the jets like to overload blitz from the left i hope we offset this with a healthy dose of screens to brown and williams. the throw out of the wildcat is there, the linebackers have been crashing down on brown and the reverse to williams running right to left has been wide open, i think we will see a new wrinkle sunday night. we also have to watch brad smith, u know rex will run an option with smith at least once. bottom line max protect for henne and get the ball out of henne’s hand quick and use the jets aggressiveness against them with screens. i see us winning 27-20.

Some of the plays where Henne was being told to throw down field
ended up in sacks in the bills game. I don’t know if that is what happened in the vikings game on those plays where Henne took it and ran. Someone mentioned that on some of those plays they were in max protect so it is possible no one was open. Just a thought.

I wish I was an expert enough to figure it out myself
but it may be that the issue with the deep passing game has more to do with our ability to pass protect than we would like to admit. OL gelling issues and some weakness of our backs in pass protection (Polite and Ricky if I recall both had blocking problems in the passing game).
Again I am no expert so this is a semi-educated guess.

I just think max protect in this day and age is silly...
If you are going to keep someone to block you should put them in the flats … if the QB gets in trouble he dumps it off to them… a RB should be better at catching the ball and running than blocking a pass rushing specialist… You throw it to the flats on those plays and let the RB pick up the yards if needed. I am ok with a chip here and there, but you can’t always run max protect… If you keep more people in to block it gives them more people to either rush the QB or cover your receivers down the field. It lowers your chances of finding an open receiver and really doesn’t give that much more protection as a trade off. Once the QB lets go of the ball he can’t be touched really anyway, so I really do not understand max protect at all. Give the QB the tools to be able to find someone open and make a play.

the guy had 1100+ yds 3 years ago when he was healthy with a crappy QB
give him a solid or good QB and he’s the best TE in the NFL.

If you've got a problem with one of my posts. Take a deep breath, re-read it, and make sure I'm not being sarcastic. Over reaction on your part WILL result in me stoking your fire. You have been warned.
Sounds like you have the wrong idea...
THIS IS F!#ing WAR! F!# the Jets!

not sure how you don't have frustrate/pick off Sanchize
Its pretty clear that if you can get on the sanchize early he gets frustrated and starts to look for the nearest hot dog/beer vendor… an early pick or forced fumble will bring 2,3 or 5 more… get in the kids head and make him beat you…
that seems to be the easiest way to beat the jets…. let sanchizes 50 cent head do it for you.
The Future is now, stop the bandwagon and lets get the Henne train rollin, as we all hope that the 14th dwarf is the real prince charming.
