Nothing has changed in a week. Well, almost nothing. Miami unveiled tons of creativity last week, including players in motion being the primary focus of running plays. I'm not talking about the Chambers play. That's a vanilla reverse that happened to work. The interesting stuff was players being put in motion off the slot then settling into the backfield briefly and being handed the ball. That was never hinted at in preseason.
Everything tends to come back to the beginning. Our primary concerns going into the season were QB and OL. Now what has altered in one week? The OL got very little push, with several plays stuffed in the backfield. I'm not a big believer in sack numbers being representative of OL improvement. It's all about the holes for the running game in my book, and they weren't there.
Frerotte looked good, virtually identical numbers to his lifetime 7.1 yards per attempt. But without a running game on the road that passing output will be extremely difficult to match. The Jets would be incomparably moronic if they didn't attack our personnel-deficient OL, try to stop the run, and force Frerotte to put up a big game on the road.
