    I posted the whole article here because it was a ESPN insider article, it seems like this was written before the BE trade.

    In the positional rankings he said the Jets were better at: QB, WR, OL, DL, DB, and ST

    while the Dolphins were better at: RB, LB, and Coach

    I personally disagree with most of this article

    After breaking down film of both teams, Scouts Inc. offers 10 things to watch in this week's Jets-Dolphins matchup.

    1. Can the Jets force Miami QB Chad Henne to win the game? The Dolphins are at the bottom of the league in pass offense and the Jets have one of the most opportunistic secondaries in the NFL. Corners Darrelle Revis and Lito Sheppard can handle the Dolphins' wide receivers one-on-one, leaving everyone else to crowd the box and stop Miami's run game. The Jets simply do not give up big passing plays on defense.

    2. Jets QB Mark Sanchez should attack the deep middle: The Dolphins' safeties, Yeremiah Bell and Gibril Wilson, are better in run support than coverage and they love to attack the line of scrimmage in run situations. Sanchez has an excellent pass-catching tight end in Dustin Keller, who does a good job running the seam route. If Bell and Wilson bite on play-action fakes, it will create a promising hole in the deep middle of the field for Keller.

    3. Can Rex Ryan's defense stop Miami's Wildcat? Yes. Ryan understands the Wildcat formation and he defended it very well when he was in Baltimore. His attack mentality fills every gap and it will make it very tough for Miami to create run lanes. Ryan does a great job of bringing inside pressure and he will attack Ronnie Brown on the direct snap.

    4. The Jets must find Miami OLB Cameron Wake: The former CFL star is a perfect fit in the Dolphins' 3-4 defense and had a big game in Week 4 against Buffalo. He has excellent first-step quickness and a nice counter move. He is primarily a pass-rusher in nickel and dime packages and moves all over the field to get good matchups.

    5. Don't make Sanchez do too much: Sanchez regressed versus the Saints' defense in Week 4, and his decision-making and ball security are getting a little sloppy. The Jets have a potentially lethal run game behind a big offensive line, but it is not yet clicking on all cylinders. If Thomas Jones and Leon Washington play well, it will take some pressure off Sanchez and open up excellent play-action opportunities.

    6. Miami need to keep running the ball: Playing with a young QB (Henne), the Dolphins have resorted to a run-first mentality. That keeps their defense fresh and minimizes the potential for Henne making mistakes. Brown and Ricky Williams will get a heavy workload in this game.

    7. The Dolphins' offense must continue to convert on third down: Miami is the best in the league on third down (33-for-61), mainly because it excels at running the ball on first and second down, creating many third-and-short situations. The Dolphins' ability to convert on third down in this game will keep the clock moving and keep a more explosive Jets offense off the field.

    8. The Dolphins must protect the edges on offense: The Dolphins' run-blocking seems to get better each week, but their pass protection is still suspect -- especially on the edge. Blitzes are not picked up consistently and a mediocre Buffalo pass rush recorded six sacks. Ryan will likely bring allout pressure with some overload blitzes off the edge, where there are more rushers than blockers. If Miami's offensive tackles don't pick it up, this could be a tough night for Henne.

    9. Let Henne make some plays: Even though Miami ran the ball 45 times versus Buffalo, the Dolphins let Henne make some throws on run downs and he had the freedom to air it out a little bit. He has a big arm and he can develop into a quality deep passer who can really force a defense to play honest. This will continue to be a run-first offense, but Henne will likely take more deep shots than you might think.

    10. Miami center Jake Grove vs. Jets NT Kris Jenkins: Jenkins is the most dominating inside player in the game right now, and it is unlikely Grove can handle him without help. Jenkins has power and rare explosiveness and can collapse the pocket versus the pass. He can also stack versus the inside run and make it nearly impossible to run up the middle. Grove plays hard and is a good anchor guy, but he cannot hold up alone versus Jenkins' bull rush.

    Prediction
    adv: mia New York 13
    Miami 17
