Miami ranks 4th in sacks. We have consistent pressure when in coverage plays (for some reason when we blitz, it's easily detectable or we get no pressure). They are a top 10 run D and a young secondary with promise. Our DE's are one of the best in the league. What we lack is young LB's, an ILB, depth at NT, and safeties. Once we get these, we have a top 5 D next year.
Henne has been a stud. He hasn't been putting up huge numbers, but he's winning (5-2) and not turning over the ball. He had 3 Int's. (2 not his fault, 1 was a mistake). He's doing this with the 2nd worst WR core in the league (Raiders have worst). He's not conservative, he's just got the training wheels on and he has an elite running game to rely on. He's like Penny, but he has an arm and he can throw on the run. Once Henne gets weapons, he'll be a probowler. We already have a top 5 o-line with good depth and a top 5 rushing attack. Once we have WR's, the offense will be very powerful.
In the coming years: Top 5 O and a top 10 D = SB. In only 2 years, the Fins are better than 75% of the NFL and only getting better. Miami's coaching staff is top 3 at least. We beat teams with more talent (the Jets) because we dominate up front and great coaching.
Anyways, Dolphins got Buf (3-7), NE (7-3), Jax (6-4), Ten (4-6), Houston (5-5), and Pitt (6-4). If NE loses to NO and we beat Buf, it's for the division in sunny south Florida. Jax is inconsistent, Buf is rebuilding, NE is bad in Miami, Ten.'s streak will end because they are barely winning, Houston has never had a winning season and can't win the big games, and Pitts plays to opponent's levels. The Ten. and Houston games are a concern. Miami has never beaten Houston and Ten. is on a roll. It's a tough schedule, but Miami almost beat Indy and NO. They are a lot better than 5-5. I think they'll go 10-6. With the way the AFC is going, 9-7 may actually get a wild card spot. If Miami wins out, they win the division. If they go 5-1, they get the wild card. If they go 9-7, they may get the #6 seed (unlikely). I highly doubt they go 7-9 or 8-8, like AFC EAST homers think will happen.
It's a Parcells team. They're built for this time of the year.
The Dolphins get beat 31-14 by the Bills... The great Henne throws 3 INTs, not going to make fun of it though because it happens with young QB and the Bills have been getting a lot of INTs this year.
But like I said before, the Dolphins aren't making the playoffs they simply aren't good enough. The rest of their games are against decent teams, they will go 7-9 IMO.
The Dolphins do not have a good defense, they are one of the worst in the league stats wise. At best they are middle of the road, I just don't think you can make fun of the Jets defense which is stat wise top 5. The problem with the Jets defense is the lack of turnovers, but thank you Jake Delhomme today for tossing 4 INTs.
Just think you guys should let off of Sanchez acting like hes a bust already, the problem with him is trying to force plays. That is where his INTs are coming from, and Henne would be throwing them too if he actually tried for big plays instead of dump offs that he learned from Pennington.
I know what Sanchez needs to work on, its his timing and accuracy on some of these throws. Hes getting better at his decision making, but he will throw it off target for the INT. His mechanics probably are fault, hes a young rookie QB, one of the younger ones in terms of experience to start right away. Its a learning year for Mark, that is it.
BTW we are both 5-6 football teams right now, Jets have the talent to be better than 5-6 and probably could be a winning team right now but the plays haven't gone their way this year. But I am just about getting this year as a learning year for the defense in a new scheme and a rookie QB. I think the Jets offense has a lot of talent in terms of the passing game with Keller, Edwards, J-Co its all on Mark to develop to make it a nice passing attack.
