the D vs chad's nickle and dime approach...

[thecoordinator]

i really think a little bit of a change-up on D this weekend would be good vs chad and the jets. the quick short passing game is undoubtedly what they do best, and im not sure our normal balls-out blitzing is the way to go. what do you guys think?

here are some interesting stats:

Jets quarterbacks have thrown 101 consecutive passes against the Dolphins without an interception, which covers a span of four games. Conversely, the Jets have intercepted the Dolphins in five consecutive match-ups.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] 19 -- Consecutive games the Dolphins have lost when posting a negative turnover ratio.

I just hope we don't blitz.

I just hope we don't blitz.

You noticed, we suck at blitzing, too?

Good post. yes, they always seem to dink and dunk their way down the field and our defense doesn't seem to ever adjust. I think our 4-3 and 3-4 hybrid might make it a little harder for them to do. Chad won't have the easy pre-snap read. That said, I worry about the long-ball because Chad is playing really good and is a dangerous QB. I would also like to see more fake blitzes where guys drop into coverage.

GO PHINS~!
