Dolphins D vs Baltimore Backups

[NYPhin24]

With the season seemingly lost for both teams, I sadly think this is a good test for the whatever if left of this highly touted offseason Defense.

The Ravens are without Flacco, Forsett, Steve Smith and starting the likes of Matt Schaub, "Buck" Allen, and Chris Givens

If this defense cant at least somewhat dominate this game, it will only further prove the enormous disappointing disaster this Defense has been all season. Matt Schaub literally throws at least 1 pick 6 a game. Lets see if Brent Grimes can have Miko motivate him enough to not get toasted every play, OV playing for a contract can actually make an impact sack/play, Suh to dominate a mediocre Ravens O-Line, Jenkins make a impact play or maybe even force a turnover, Earl Mitchell to show he's still alive, etc

With all the focus as usual on the QB issues, the defense gets brushed over for things such as making Ryan Fitzpatrick and Tyrod Taylor look like Hall of Famers, lets see if they can handle the great Matt Schaub....

It should make it pretty even on defense. Miami's LBers should be backups and wake is out.

The Ravens line is enough and they will run the ball and win the game.

Chris Givens will look like Brandon Marshall who looked like Sammy Watkins who looked like Jerry Rice against us.

Sadly its true, which hopefully will raise enough awareness to the fan base but hopefully whoever the front office may be, that not only does the offense need work, but the defense needs just as much if not possibly more depending on how the offseason goes

I want a high draft pick so Miami can finally get a blue-chip player.

Miami always has this tendency to play well when it doesn't matter. We're basically out of the playoffs, and I'm really dreading Miami possibly winning 3 or more games to be in the middle of the pack drafting again.

I'm hoping the treading of our D making backup QBs look like Allpros continues. We do not need any meaningless wins from here on out - and if we are going to win any please save if for the Patsies.

Buck Allen 120 yards rushing book it on this defense

I sense a safety coming this week. 23-21 ravens. We may get a pick 6 but it won't be enough.

Matt Schaub has never lost to the Dolphins.

I've been on the fence about starting buck allen against us or alfred blue vs the bills. I've been keeping my dolphin integrity so far, but this week is too much as I need that last playoff spot

Sadly have the same problem....below is the "analysis" on Allens matchup vs Miami this week, hey but at least Suh fixed everything on the defense....

Matchup Rating
 (12/2 @Mia)
Javorius Allen totaled 84 yards and a touchdown as the lead back in Week 12, and has a very favorable Week 13 match-up against an awful Miami Dolphins rushing defense that has actually displaced the Browns as the worst in the NFL with 138.5 yards allowed per game.

The last time Miami got a so called Blue-chip player, he got suspended two years in a row, and has yet to look like anything special on defense...we need to draft better.

nothing was ever blue chip about Jordan just a player that was overhyped for no apparent reason.

Am I a bad fan for hoping that we lose this game? Well I do, I want to be in a position where we can get Ramsey, Hargraeves of Jaylon Smith. Winning this Sunday is meaningless, I want the best draft pick possible! Ideally we are in a spot where Lynch or Goff are available and some QB hungry team pays a kings ransom to trade up... Thats the ideal scenario, then we have to make our picks count
