Fins need to find a way to get more productivity out of the O line or this will be a quick end to the season vs Jets.

Miami has been fortunate to play "weak" teams in Buffalo, Seattle, Raiders, and 49ers, none have winning record.

At the Jets, at 8pm, Fins must be able to line up and run right at jets 3-4 scheme.

We all know what Jets are going to do...stack the box, play bump man outside, and force Penny to throw in blustery winds in Jersey. Miami must be able to gain 3-4 yards on 1st down running plays to have a chance in the 4th Q vs Jets.

Chiefs will be an important proving ground to get O-line starters some work together. Miami must be able to RUN tough against 8 in the box, or we'll be crossing our fingers Ravens lose out.

Your absolutely right. This O-line hasta step up next week and gain momentum.
 
We have no problem with our running game or productivity...it's just that whoever our playcaller is thinks that giving it to Ronnie Brown ten times a game is enough. I don't know why we always seem to go conservative in the second half. I just hope it doesn't come back to bite us like it did in the Texans game. We played the same way against Seattle, Oakland and San Fran.
 
Might want to run the ball more. Yes, that's all. Utilize Brown and Williams more, I bet the results change

may be ronnie is nicked up a bit.
 
The problem is that our oline is not strong enough with losing both of our starting guards for the year. We can not run right at teams our RB's will take a pounding. That is why we see all these toss, sweeps and counter runs. We are just simply not big enough at the guard position to run it right at teams. And it doesn't help that our center isn't exactly a mauler either.
