The Miami Dolphins aren’t going to take the bait the New England Patriots have tossed into the water the last two weeks.

Those Patriots have lost two consecutive games and trail the Dolphins by two games in the AFC East race after only three weeks. The Patriots were beat up on defense and that’s probably a reason the Lions converted 50 percent of their third down plays and rushed for 159 yards, averaging 4.8 yards per run on Sunday.

The Patriots looked abysmal on offense, too.

This will be their most difficult game yet, better play their best
 
Pats are down but not out. We'll have to play much better up in NE than we did yesterday in order to beat the pats....... but it can be done.
 
One of the things that scare the hell out of you with the Patriots is their game planning.

You absolutely know they've already IDed a few of our weaknesses. I have no doubt that includes iso of our LBs, McDonald and or Bobby McCain.

I fully expect iso of the speedy RB White, the other RB that killed us last time on our LBs

I fully expect something to iso their TE or someone like McDonald

I fully expect Gordan matched-up of Bobby McCain.


The Patriots have always been brilliant at things like that.

I hope the Dolphins are prepared because you know it's coming!!!
 
That lb level is some kind of slow so I would say you’d try to expose them vs man coverage in tbe flats with the rb Kenyan Drake especially. But unless you maintain the sticks they can hide it with zone concepts.

Still I’d be trying to dial up a lot of flats concepts this week. Outflanking them but again that’s highly man and sticks dictated
 
We should also be ready to absorb one or two trick plays from them. Don't be surprised if they try to steal our MO. Especially if they start slow and need a spark.

I agree. It's why New England is favored by 7.5.

Seriously...and people want to talk bad about Miami's drafts??!!

The Patriots have drafted 22 players since 2016. Of those 22 players only two have started more than one game.

Seven of those draft picks are backups or contributors of some minor sort.

Five of those picks were cut outright.

Two were cut and re-signed to the practice squad.

One was traded.

And five — all of them from the 2018 draft class — are currently on injured reserve.
