As Miami fans, we always look on the bright side of the coin. I've always found it interesting to look at our team through an opposing coach's eyes. That gives excellent indicators IMO on where our weaknesses are.

On offense, I would not redesign the wheel...I would POUND the heck out of Miami's soft middle and I'd test the safeties deep hoping for confusion in the new scheme and new players. I believe the odds would be in my favor to win this battle.

On defense, I'd play it safe at first and allow Feeley to get a little bit of ****yness knowing he is a streaky player...allow him to get comfortable. Then I'd switch and instruct my blitzers to make him hit the dirt every down...passing or running. Make him hesitate. I'd put good money on getting at least 2 turnovers...and that usually = a win.


So wannabe coaches, whats your game plan against your own team?

8-9 in the box on D. Make Feeley beat us.

On offense I would test the DB's and pound the middle. Both of which seem to be weak spots as of now.
 
Well until our OL proves its better I would blitz a high percentage of the time while on defense and make AJ think VERY fast...

On offense I would run to set up the deep pass..because thats my biggest fear for this team is preventing the deep ball...
 
Alot of nickle blitz packages, zone blitz, cover 2 and alot of blitzs between the tackles. Basicly a lot of blitzing, put our questionable quarterback and offensive line to the test. As far as offense, run the clock, counters, option routs and test us deep.
 
Early in the season I'd expect teams to not keep 8 in the box...

Ronnie brown could be great, but as of now hes a rookie, and unproven. The proven threats you have are Chambers, McMichael and Booker/Boston.

I'd take away the pass and let the base D take care of Ronnie. I think an aggressive D will blitz on passing downs.

If Ronnie proves he can beat the NFl D's then the focus will shift more toward him, but I think by keeping a guy back, and blitzing on passing downs, you can force Feeley to do more harm than good.
 
on offense, I'd go deep early, to test the secondary, then run some play-action hoping to throw the linebackers off, hitting my tight end on 10-15 yard routes. If i was forced to run, I'd do it to the outside.

on defense I'd blitz my outside linebacker almost ever play because the o-line isn't stable enough to contain everybody. Hopefully it will kill any confidence feeley had. On passing downs, I'd have a safety cover Ronnie Brown. I'd have my other safety playing deep to eliminate the deep pass to Chambers or Boston.
 
If I were the opposing coach I would blitz like crazy as guys like Carey, McKinney and the rest of line have not shown me much....if they force Gus or AJ to throw quick there could be more INT's or fumbles from not having the time to throw....that is what worries me most.

On offense I would attack our d backs now that Surtain is not there.....I think our secondary is gonna take a while to gel...I would also block JT and get a guy to block Zach when running. Teams seem to pound us all game long because our offense keeps doing the old 3 and out...this is why I hated Wanny and his vanilla offense. :mad:

My offensive gameplan would be exactly the same.

On D I would blitz, blitz and blitz. Until the line proves it can block and AJ proves he can play under pressure I would keep putting him on the turf.

I wouldn't hope too much on throwing our LBs off...thats one that Zach and Seau give you is the ability to diagnose plays aimed to exploit misdirections/trickery...but what would probably have a higher degree of success is to just put fast guys in there to take advantage of something they have nothing to defend against....pure speed.

Using an athletic tightend (as you suggested) would be golden against our defense, but you have to remember to stuff it up the middle as much as possible with all of your RBs,...Miami is soft there.
 
On defense I'd attack, attack, and attack again. I'd blitz until the Dolphin O-line proved they could block it or Feeley proved to me he could accurately hit the recievers on quick routes over the middle. Blitzing would take care of the run game as well.

I'd play safeties deep and play a lot of zone on passing downs until Feeley shows he can make the right reads.

It would all depend on what Feeley was doing.

On offense I would attack the middle of the field with the run game. I'd run recievers deep to get the safeties playing deep and use my tight end on mid range routes down the middle of the field.

Then again...I have no idea what scheme the Phins are playing this week or even from down to down so I'm pooched.

"Hmmmm, where did I put that NFL protocol list telling me how to forfeit. I don't have any choice seeing as how my defense and QB are all curled up crying underneath their chairs in the locker room."
 
on offense
i double jt with my te and a tackle, see if roth/holliday can beat u at the other end spot. then i go 3 wideouts to test miamis db's with one back to be the saftey valve out in the flats. then if i see the db's r covering well or the pass rush is too much, i go 2 te's, 1 back and 2 wide outs and and play action and see if miamis safteties and lb's can cover


on defense

well i single cover chambers and booker and put a saftey on boston and a lb on randy m. and blitz early and often especially up the middle and to the left side.
 
My gameplan would be to put 8 in the box and to continuously send a lot of blitzes testing our O-line and test our QB whether Feeley or Frerotte by forcing them to pass. On offense my gameplan would run through the middle and test our corners and safeities with DEEP balls.

I feel our weakness on offense will be our QB play and that the only way it could succeed is if our O-line is in sync. On D I am overall pretty confident that we will definitely imrpove against the rush compared ot last year but I worry that the loss of Surtain and wiith Poole out for the year, that our Passing Game is in jeopardy.
