Patriots at Dolphins: Miami Offensive Snap Counts

A week after a come back win against the Seattle Seahawks, the Miami Dolphins continually made mistakes this past Sunday against the New England Patriots, ending any chance they had at an upset win against their AFC East division rivals.

Maybe the most interesting thing about this game was the two teams facing each other. The Dolphins are looking to be a fast tempo, no-huddle, pass first offense. Across from them, the Patriots are exactly what the Dolphins want to be.

Miami ran 62 offensive plays this week, while New England ran 81. Here is the break down of the Miami offense, by position groups:

Thoughts: Everything here is about Jake Long. Long had not missed a snap all season, and now he may be done for the year. He had an MRI yesterday, but the team has not released any information about the triceps injury yet. That's probably not a good sign. If Long cannot play the rest of the year, rookie right tackle Martin will probably stay at left tackle the rest of the year, which could be a good audition for him to keep the job if the team decides to not re-sign Long.

Thoughts: Nothing really surprising here. Bush's use is back on the up swing.
