Top Five Things the Dolphins Should Have Fixed During the Bye Week

That’s an owner decision, that was made immediately following the Chargers game….

but if you cut Marshall and Bess’s drops in half, Henne’s 4th qtr and redone success rate skyrockets… It hasn’t been inaccuracy or bad reads… but plain ol’ drops. Just pointing out the facts…

well judging the 4th quarter only, nobody was worse than Henne so it has to improve.

yeah I agree. While I do like Henne, facts are facts. I think Moore is more than capable, especially with an extra week of first team reps under his belt.

I cannot find anything we are doing right.

Hoping for the best, but planning for the worst…..

We arent a terrible matchup for the Jets. The first major storyline offensively I think is how effective we are going to be in the running game against their defense. As many problems as this offensive line has had so far this season, especially in pass protection, we have run the ball pretty well. The interior of the line right now is more dangerous at the point of attack in the running game than it was last season and has given some good squads problems including a very stout interior in the Houston Texans (and exceptional linebackers) and the Cleveland Browns. New England this week was able to stretch out the Jets defense and get their pass coverage personel on the field (so as not having Mike Devito and Sione Pouha out there) alot and then running draws and the like from the gun and singleback sets. Unlike New England we wont have that luxery so Richie Incognito, Mike Pouncey and Vernon Carey are going to match up against these guys alot on Monday Night. These guys are are all good in the interior though and Richie Incognito is a guy who can also pull and has significant quickness so thats good.

Remember the Browns also have a pretty stingy front. Ahtyba Rubin and Phil Taylor are two good football players who are physical and hard to move off the line. We where able in that game to bang out a bunch of 4 and 5 yard runs up the gut against that team due to tough inside blocking from our interior line and a talented running in Daniel Thomas.

problems in the running game (obviously) if they arent afraid of the threat through the air. Last season when we played them the second time in the meadowlands they essentially stuck Darrelle Revis in press man coverage all day against Davone Bess in the slot and Revis basically wiped him away.They are probably going to do that again. Bess is the biggest weapon on this offense and Cromartie is bigger than Revis so he can deal with Marshall (granted with some help). As for Revis doing it again to Bess, he is very well capable of doing it again which creates some serious problems throwing the football. Darrelle Revis is simply outstanding and he is the only corner who can cover Bess in press man without help and have that kind of success (1 catch 7 yrds.)

As Mosul talked about above Brian Daboll has to figure out how to create more matchup problems with Reggie Bush and get Fasano implemented more into the passing game, because thier ability to play so well against our other receivers (notably Bess) in press man allows them alot of leeway in what they can now do coverage wise.

the spirits told me Matt Moore will suck too….sorry guys…

I am perhaps most bummed about Henne going down. He was making progress, and if our receivers caught the ball he’d have a better red zone rating and if we weren’t needing to throw for our lives as games died he’d have fewer picks. Face it, the guy was playing fine. He’s a hell of a lot better than Sanchez and he managed to lead the overrated jets to the playoffs. I’d rather have an elite QB, but after what we’ve been through at QB for the past few years let’s at least hope Henne is back as a backup next year (or maybe as a starter while we groom a new young gun).

I’d rather see Rivers down here. Younger with less injuries and more likely to hit the market.
