ummm...you think he had a bunch of offers laying in infront of him, and a few limos to pick him up as soon as he agrees to their deal? He didn't pick the Dolphins. Dolphins picked him. This is such a dumb assumption a lot of people have here. Even if he picked Dolphins out of his presumed several offers by some members, the Jets didn't offer him anything. Why should he wait for us to offer something???
LMAO, haahaha. Your wildcat got shutdown immediately the second time we played you last season. Ill hand you the first game you punished us but we adjusted and shut that down quick. As for Marshall he is going against DARELLE REVIS, have you heard of him before?? Marshall is a non issue not to mention he has a bum hip and is a fucking bum in real life. Your teams a joke and Henne will show once again that in important games he crumbles. The wildcat is a gimmick and once Ronnie is back on the PUP list the dolphins will slowly crumble.
I have heard of Revis, and ive said on my own forums, he's the best in the game, rare talent, very strong balanced player, his range off his defender creates less space for the rest of your guys to defend, and that's just what he does off the ball, on the receiver, he's a space invader, the mimicking skill's are elite, ive seen him cover like a blanket..At half speed. I think on the biggest stage of the year for us, monday night last year, Henne drove the team down the field and won the game with some excellent precision passing, and a Ronnie brown finish. Dude's only started 13 games, has an absolute lethal arm and trajectory, has put on 10 lbs of muscle and the "robot" as we call him sometimes, has a Chad Pennington chip being installed....This dude can play at a high level. As far as the wildcat being a gimmick, nah, we like to call it smashcat, it's just a running play to us... you should watch the last play of that monday nite game again, your outside linebacker got temporary paralysis by the gifted hands and instincts of Ronnie Brown... nothin's changed on our your defense from last year, our offense moved the ball very well on the #1 defense.....without Brandon Marshall..
As madbacker already corrected you, that was one game. The #1D almost shut ur offense down in the other game. Why the huge difference? It was bad gameplanning as the D never prepared for the wildcat and it was the wildcat that got the better of us. When we figured out ur wildcat, you kept to around 100 yards of total offense. That one game skewed the total stats and we still managed to be the #1 D. Also, if you paid any attention to it, Lito Shepphard (both games) and Donald Strickland were injured in that game. On offense, we had Cotchery injured (played 1 drive with a hammy before sitting out). Starters at WR: 1. Clowney 2. Braylon (who had been in NY for 3 days). It looks very sweet, but when u sit down and figure out that we had Coleman in the nickel, it looks pretty awful.
The Jets showed the rest of the league how to stop the WildCat...blitz your corners and send everybody else right at the heart of the thing. The Jets were able to stop it the 2nd game, and after that it did not have much success. It's Miami's move now to see if they can adjust. I just really hope that adjustment is not Pat White. He's reportedly the "most improved" player there by a landslide and has added 15 pounds of muscle, and all that jazz...I'd like to see it for my own eyes. Guy can't throw a football and it's a shame. We have an open 5th WR spot, hopefully we realize thats what he needs to be fighting for. But in any case, the WildCat is not a gimmick. It's a gimmick when any other teams runs it because they have no idea WTF they are doing. Plus, isn't it a little silly to call it that when one of the biggest reasons your Jets made it as far as they did last January was in-fact that same "gimmick"? The Dolphins aren't trying to fool anybody; Ronnie gets the snap and he either takes it himself or gives it to Ricky...there's a very rare pass play thrown in, but, it's just another power run play and nobody runs it as well as Ronnie.
gimme a break dude. you talk like you were 13-3 last year. Revis can shut down Marshall but we didn't need a big time wr to beat you last year. Whether you admit it or not, the division will be a dog fight this year. you talk about Marshall's bum hip after a minor surgery when your qb was wearing two knee braces by the end of the year. hmm
Marshall will be interesting for sure. We'll have to gameplan for him. But with the quality of our secondary now compared to last year Henne will have to get rid of that ball even faster than before. Therein lies the problem.
WOW!!!! Marshall a non-factor? Not even going to comment. I have heard of Revis too..... last time I checked he was an NFL football player, not a "god". Is he the best CB in the league? Sure I'll give you that, but dudes NOT perfect. If you think Marshall won't get lose on Revis a few times..... you off your rocker. Marshall had minor surgery on his hip to clean it up. Sanchez had surgery too right?
You have clearly never heard of Revis Chirst then the guy said Marshall was a non-issue, not a non-factor... it's not the same thing.
Lets be realistic for a second. Revis shutdown Andre Johnson, the best wide reciever in the league. Everyone has seen all the stats of all the recievers he shut down. Marshall is not even close to the level of Johnson, not to mention he has severe character issuses and Chad "Vagina Head" Henne is throwing him the ball. Bottom line is if you guys do beat us it will not be because of what Marshall did, but because of what RB did.
Non-issue: The guy is good and causes problems but we have the players/defensive scheme to make him have as little of an impact as possible on game-day. Non-factor: The guy doesn't have the ability on it's own to have an impact on game-day. With or without a player as good as Revis covering him. It's stupid to say Marshall is a non-factor because he clearly is a very talented reciever... and even if he had some minor procedures on his hips he's still your #1 player on offense. However it's reasonable to say he will be a non-issue for our D since the secondary is our strongest part of the D. And I'm a fan of, well not a fan but I like, your Marshall-Hartline-Bess trio... I think they're a serviceable WR corp. What I really don't understand is how you guys can be confident on your running game. Coming off a Lisfranc injury is not a joke, especially for a RB who's already had a torn ligament. And Williams is 33, I know he had a crazy career but 33 is A LOT for a RB. He won't be able to do it all by himself.
Ronnie has shown the ability to come back from injury before. In fact, his only Pro Bowl year thus far was after the ACL. Ricky is 33 but in the role he is in he's extremely effective. I think with our O-line as good as it is from a run blocking standpoint, and with Marshall opening things up, we should have plenty of success on the ground. Last year we were trading punches with you guys for the number 1 run game in the league before Ronnie went down, and we still finished up 4th in the NFL...and that was without Marshall. I think our run game will be top 5 again this season, possibly top 3.
Yes Marshall will help open up your run game against some other teams. But it doesnt open shit up against the Jets. Marshall will be vacationing twice to Revis Island this year, I just dont know how hes gonna get back
Meh... while I agree that a healthy Brown + Williams duo is effective and talented I still think it's very optimistic to think Brown can come back and be 100% straight away. And, without a healthy Brown, Williams role will have to be expanded and at 33 it doesn't look good. Still I guess the only thing to do is wait and see... Ps Is your starting RG Donald Thomas?
