Commentary: CKParrothead Previews Fins vs Jets

[phintim]

CK you make it fun to visit the forum more well thought out stuff.

very well done. i do think the jets will make more plays in the passing game though and put up more than 14 points.

you pretty much hit every concern i have going into this game. i really believe the jets will find ways to exploit roth in coverage with keller vertically. i think they're licking their chops at the opportunity.

the only thing i didn't see you mention was the return game of the jets with leon washington returning kicks. i think that's a huge weapon that must be accounted for considering carpenter hasn't exactly been kicking the ball deep on kickoffs which would help negate washingtons return prospects and the coverage units haven't been what they were cracked up to be to date.

washingtons a heck of a kick returner.

I thought about it. But, honestly, the Jets are vulnerable to returns by Ted Ginn as well...so I kind of thought this aspect could end up a wash.

Excellent post CK. I think if there is a time where we can come out looking good it is in the season opener against a division rival who is in the same boat as us. I am sure the Jet's offense with Favre at the helm has just as many uncertainties as we do with Pennington. I look for both teams to run a ball control game, with more rushing than throwing. The nice thing is Pennington has gone up against the Jet's D for years and he should know what the Jets will attempt to run against him. I think this gives us the edge. I see us winning a close one:

Phins 20
Jets 17

Honestly, it's become chic to talk about the Dolphins winning 6 to 8 games this year. Where are those wins going to come from? They have to come from somewhere, don't they?

And if they don't come at the expense of a 4-12 team, at home in Miami, in September when the Dolphins have such an historical advantage at home in September...where the hell ARE those 6 to 8 wins going to come from?

i'd be more on board for a win if brett favre wasn't under center. he's seen just about everything and has the arm and know how to exploit any weakness.

i'd also be more on board if the olbs had shown me more in the pass rush. as is i see us having to blitz ilbs and secondary to create pressure and i see favre cutting us up vertically when he sees it.

Yeah but honestly, the last time we saw Favre operating a bad team that couldn't run the ball consistently...he was getting QB ratings in the 70's.

Brett Favre's not going to matter much when the Jets defense starts giving way to the Dolphins' ground game in the second half because of the heat, among other things. Ricky and Ronnie can keep him off the field...and this could be one of those games where the Jets don't realize they're in a dog fight until it's too late.
