-Raekwon Davis was a beast. Multiple run stuffs and multiple cleanups on sacks. He’s been really flashing lately.
-Xavien Howard is a legit defensive player of the year canidate. 7 ints and becoming one of the great dolphins corners of all time.
- Brandon Jones great blitz that resulted in a sack. He looks like a solid role player.
- Nik Needham with an int, he’s improving every week.
- Devante Parker was unguardable, 9 for 118 and was interfered with multiple times that weren’t called. He’s so freaking good.
- Jason Sanders knocking down multiple 50 yarders like it’s nothing. Another player having an all time great Miami dolphins season.
- Mike Gesicki sighting as a red zone target. Adam Shaheen got one too.
- Elandon Roberts is incredible at shooting gaps on 4th down and shorts and blowing up runs. We’ve been really solid in short yardage situations this year he’s a big reason why.
- Raiders getting blown out by Falcons was a pleasant surprise and Colts got crushed too which pushed us to the 6 seed as of now.
- Fitz played good enough to win but bad enough to where there shouldn’t be some unnecessary QB controversy.
 
Really impressed by the way the defense turned around. They were worse than the score last week and started out poorly this week. But they got better as the game went on and really stepped up to play complementary football after the offense fumbled twice. Lots of good performances there.
 
Love how Raekwon Davis has come on. We are seeing why Flores was so excited to draft him.

Agree on X. Howard. His coverage today made it very hard for the Jets passing game. One of his all-time great games. The secondary was a huge reason for this win.

Love your post.
 
Nice write up. How good is X?

I’ll add a few things:

- Discipline: just the 13th Pre snap penalty on the year today. Under Gase it felt like we had 13 per game. Winning the penalty battle is the sign of a well coached team. We continue to impress in this area.

- Shout out to Fitz: I’m not a fan of his, but he played a good game and made plays when he had to.

- Division win was needed. On the road. Good job.

- Bow about this TE group? The collection of them make plays most weeks. When they all get into the act it’s usually a good day.
 
As the game wore on, the defense really started to exert itself.

It was impressive from halftime to the third quarter to the fourth quarter, they played better and better.

Darnold was really feeling them out there by that point.

I don't know if there were some adjustments, or everybody just started to play better, or both.

But boy, did we need it.
 
Positives were that Fitz didn’t throw any picks

Washington looks like he has some good vision behind the line and is shiftier than I thought. Not a fan of Gaskins, too slow, I wouldn’t mind seeing a combo of Washington and Ahmed when he gets back. I like the the way Ahmed hits the hole.

Shaheen, I like what I see. Don’t know much about him but wonder what his ceiling is.

Sanders perfect as usual.

A Calloway sighting once again. Think he needs more playing time as we are lacking everything on offense.

I dont know if the Jets coming away with zero points after those two fumbles is a credit to the defense or how much the jets suck.

This is what I am talking about. Too much negativity but this makes me feel good about my 7-4 team.
