I remember the 1st series against the Jets this season a lot of people were saying that due to Rex Ryan stopping the wildcat twice with the Ravens he should be able to stop them for basically a 3rd time with the Jets....well we all know what the outcome of the 1st game against the Jets was this season.
Miami loss to the Saints for a number of reasons besides stopping the wildcat....dropped passes, poor clock management, turnovers, poor tackling and coverage by the defenders, etc, etc, etc...
Anyway.....injuries to Jenkins and Washington are key losses for the Jets especially in a big rival game such as this. Jenkins took up a lot of space in the gaps to slow down the rushing attack. While Leon provided a threat in the Jets rushing game and special teams.
Miami will be without our starting corner Will Allen for the rest of the season so that puts 2 rookie corners to defend Sanchez and company. Will Allen hasn't showed much this season but he did have experience. Rex Ryan will probably try to test the young DB's early.
Tough game to call...are my Dolphins going to have a Saints hangover? they better not
Go Dolphins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello fellow rival...... I knew I would see you on these threads again...
just a few quick points...
1) The stats that I dug up were really meant to point to an UNDER game, due to the fact both teams run the ball almost always in the NFL, and they both have inexperience QBs.... I wasn't trying to say that the JETS have a better running game than the Dolphins, becuase I don't believe that for a second.... also, JETS didn't have a bye so the numbers are slightly off...
2) Stopping the wildcat.... I was one of the main people who thought REX RYAN would design something up in his 3rd match-up agianst the WILDCAT... Last MIAMI-JETS thread I was the main one who said that would happen.... obviously I was completely wrong...
But I do believe the blueprint for stopping the wildcat was exploited last week... that's not why MIAMI lost... and they did play great defense in the first half.... but if you watch the video I am about to post, you will see what I mean...
The blueprint for stopping the wildcat can be found roughly at 2:25 of the film...

This really impressed me... 13 rushes for 30 yards...
I like the UNDER... good luck to all
let's go JETS!
