Honestly, I don't fear either of them. If someone else doesn't do it first, Rex will be the one who develops the "answer" to the Wildcat by the next meeting. Once you take away the Wildcat, the Dolphins are very beatable. And by that point, Cotchery will be healthy, and Edwards will be completely integrated into the system. New England has Tom Brady, so you can never count them out. But they are aging, and they're starting to struggle. I won't count them out while they still have a future HoFer behind center, but I'm just not that scared of them anymore.
"their defense is showing its age" Mayo, Guyton, McGowan, Butler, Sanders, and Merriweather have all been in the league 3 years or less. What NE's defense is actually showing is youth and inexperience. That's why they signed Seau
Hi guys ... DrAstroZoom from ThePhins.com here. Actually, your defense is much better equipped to handle the Patsies pass-oriented attack (particularly when it has been demonstrated that Brady can be contained by an effective pass rush) than a Dolphin offense that features the run, as it stands currently.
I believe Jets does not scared of any team in the NFL! There's always a weakness in a team! Mia & NE are nothing!
randy moss is losing a step, I've watched them play every week. Moss has had no trouble getting open against anybody. NE's play calling has been lousy ben coates is getting old, yeah, you're right about that. 40 years old and retired for 9 years brady is one good hit from being knocked out of the season, as is Manning, Rivers, Brees, Favre, Rodgers, Sanchez, Ryan, etc...
Last time I looked, 2-3 was still below .500 rocket scientist. Yea, your bad...... Ryan's inexperience showed. Don't worry, he won't underestimate you again, and I guarantee the Jets defense NEVER plays that poorly against Miami again, EVER.
Bring it on! To be the best, you have to beat the best. Personally, I think that your team's play on Monday night had more to do with Miami than it did your game planning/play of personnel but now that the game is over, you can't use that excuse if we happen to beat you the next time that we meet.
There's no "answer", magic bullet, etc. to the Wildcat. It's football, pure and simple. It's a variant of the single-wing, which is over a hundred years old. It didn't disappear from the pro game because it was "solved", it's because it is difficult to pass out of. If you manage it effectively like Miami has, and don't use it as a base offense, then it's still useful. Of the people who "stopped" it, none solved it. Rex Ryan quite obviously didn't "solve" it, despite stopping it twice as DC in Baltimore. He did the same things as he did there, and it didn't work. It worked in Baltimore because their front-7 was dominant, and the Dolphins interior OL was busted. The Bills stopped it pretty good in one of the games in '08, and didn't with the same staff. The Patriots got abused, then stopped it later in the season, again largely doing the same thing they did week 3- Just better. But the Broncos got mileage out of it vs. the Patriots last week. If the Jets are going to stop it, they've got to be able to beat the Dolphins at the point of attack. That's looking like a real tall order at this point.
My Jets scare me more then fins or gaytriots. Im afraid of how our team will be playing against these two teams. Can we beat either, yes! But its how we execute that worries me.
i am definitely more scared of the dolphins. they may not be a great team this year but they are continuing to improve and if their new qb turns out to be good they will have a very formidable team in the next few years. its not even so much that i think miami is great this year i think its more that i think new england really isnt a very good team at this point.
Miami has a done a nice job of rebuilding and you have to respect the way the staff has been willing to impliment radical schemes to put their two best players on the field at the same time. BB is a great D mind but at this point he has given up on the run because he has to much trust in Brady. It cost him two SB in my opinion so far and he seems unlikely to reestablish the run now that Taylor is done for the season. If Miami can bring their young QB along and put another weapon or two around him and fix the deep secondary that team will be a load to deal with. That's not all that much that needs fixing.
I'm not scared of either team. For the first time in the past decade, the AFC East is wide open, and very competitive. As pissed as I was on Monday night, the Dolphins are beatable. So are the Pats, they have made that obvious in the past month. And we have a rookie QB and a rookie HC that are both learning in their respective first seasons, and simultaneously staying at the top of the division. They have both made their first game-losing rookie mistakes in the past 2 weeks of football, but I have confidence that they are both competitive and intelligent enough to learn from those mistakes. Sorry, but the Jets have more upside than both of those teams. They need to be scared of us, not the other way around.
