Last season, the Ravens game proved to be the pivotal matchup for our winning streak and was also Tua's comeback game.
I expect the Dolphins to use a very similar defensive game plan to defend the Ravens, which was based on containing Lamar Jackson and pressuring him from all sides, as well as using our Safeties to match up spying Jackson and limiting his movement space. This was my favorite game last season (at the point Tua returned).

I have doubts Mia will use much, if any cover 0. It would be no surprise this time and I'm confident Balt will practice against it.
What Mia will do on O - no idea. I suspect it will depend on who can't go for Balt. In general, I won't be surprised Mcd will focus on the quick passes.
On D, contain Lamar. He doesn't scare me much as a passer. Doesn't (didn't) he have problems with passes to the sidelines?
I think this will come down to both OLs.
 
I would expect LJ to play very well, we better be ready cause I do not see us doing him like last year.

It wasn't a surprise last time.
It doesn't need to be a surprise to be effective.

Something to keep in mind was Brisket was in there for H1. If Tua had been in the whole game we would have scored more probably.

So what is so different in Baltimore's Defense from last year. Last year they where ranked 19th overall and the Patriots were 2nd and we gave up 3 against them.

They can practice against it, but all it takes is changing 1 wrinkle to prove that practice useless.

Exactly. Cover 0 is just the man coverage up top. There's many, many variations to where you line up, who you bring, where you bring them from, and who you pretend to send but drop instead as coverage, QB spy, etc. It's an entire package not a single play or even a few plays.

So reading this I feel better about my initial impression of the game watching it live. It isn't that we had one person or problem constantly breaking down our blocking, but rather a serious of player mistakes or technique break downs. I think that's a good thing.
 
Watching Tua come on for Brisset never gets old. Watching Tua punch in a 1 yard run for a TD instead of Flores doing that god awful Brissett substitution for the sneak never gets old either.
