Miami Dolphins talking points: Bounceback won’t be easy

[BAMAPHIN 22]

Rebounding from this loss is going to be difficult.

By Monday Taylor was proclaiming “It’s Jets week,” and you know it won’t be tough for him to get motivated against the team he hates most. Whether that will be the case for his teammates remains to be seen.

There had to be at least a few guys who had mentally chalked up a victory Sunday when the Dolphins held a 24-3 lead late in the second half. Accepting the reality of being outscored 22-0 and blowing a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter is bound to take some time.

Rookie corners under the gun.

The Dolphin secondary had it tough enough with one rookie cornerback starting in Sean Smith. With Will Allen lost for the season to a torn ACL, Smith and fellow rookie Vontae Davis become the starters.

The onus goes back on the O-line.

The Dolphins have been at their best this season when their offensive line has dominated the line of scrimmage and they’ve been able to run the ball.

All of that disappeared in the second half Sunday, when Miami rushed for 17 yards on seven carries and Chad Henne was getting pressure on a regular basis.

Wow... I COMPLETELY DISAGREE.

The losses where you killed yourself are the EASIEST to recover from... In fact they get you pi**ed off... The Phins can actually BUILD confidence in that kind of loss... Knowing they hung with the best and shot themselves in the foot instead of being beaten down...

Bouncing Back is truly rough after a blow out... When you get manhandled and your confidence takes a hit.

Look for the Phins to walk into NYC angry as hell... with their backs against the wall and facing a bitter division rival.

This is the PERFECT way to recover and the Jets will pay for our miscues last sunday.

I like that Davis will start at CB now. This is how you find out if who you have on your team is worth a damn. Throw him to the wolves, see how he responds.

If that along with other stuff results in the team going 5-11, **** it. We'll re-up and get more players next year
