Nothing we dont know but a interesting read nonetheless
Wouldn't it be nice for the passing game to be solid the rest of the way and to have teams actually respect our passing game...
Let's just hope JF stays in a zone and the line keeps up it's play.
AFC EAST
New England Patriots
Record: 10-2
What's working: With the Patriots, it sounds like a broken record, but the defense has been fantastic in spite of injuries up and down the roster. The offense can brag about surviving the injury bug as well, although its performance hasn't been as impressive as that of the defense. The offensive line has been a pleasant surprise, led by rookie C Daniel Koppen and new starting ORT Tom Ashworth, who have stepped in and performed well. Also QB Tom Brady has been on his game lately, limiting turnovers and running the offense quite well.
What needs to be fixed: Although RB Kevin Faulk has been a playmaker at times and a big bonus in the passing game, he has not been consistent, and neither has any other running back on the roster. The Patriots need the running game to take some pressure off Brady and the passing game and provide more balance. Also, the team will have to figure out what to do when injured WR Troy Brown returns to action. The Patriots will have seven receivers once that occurs, which means at least one current pass catcher could be cut.
Miami Dolphins
Record: 8-4
What's working: The run defense has been a force at times, and although the pass defense has given up some really big plays, it has been mostly solid. The running game appears to be coming around again after a six-week slump in which RB Ricky Williams did not register a 100-yard game.
What needs to be fixed: The running game, though, could become more consistent. It needs to be able to crank out the yards week-in and week-out, without hitting a dry spell. The offensive line has been soft and has battled through injuries. If it can get healthy and add some punch to its repetoire, Williams would have a better go of it. And although QB Jay Fiedler has done a solid job in his return from a knee injury, the passing game has yet to actually frighten anyone into swinging their defense away from stopping Williams.
