Miami vs. Pats

[Brian Fein]

It depends on the pass rush.

Offense will do its thing.  The Dolphins won the first two games by being solid up front.  Putting pressure on the QB and shutting down the run game.  They lost the third game by doing exactly the opposite.

I expect Vontae on Moss all day, but Welker will be the key.  If J-Allen can cover Welker over the middle, it'll be a good day.  I look for Welker to have 10+ catches for right around 100 yards.

^^  You don't cover Welker, you "contain" him.

I don't expect to see Allen on Welker. Allen covers on the outside usually and Welker usually lines up in the slot. I don't see that matchup happeneing very often.

pats looked bad the past 2 games. jets are a much better team than them at this point. their defense isn't very good, and they can't run the football.

i think the dolphins can really roll this team over.

Fred Taylor is OUT for Monday. Won't play for NE vs the Fins

[Brian Fein]

^^ So?  Green-Ellis has probably got the job anyway, so Fragile Freddie probably wouldn't have been a factor no matter what.

The big thing is going to be getting pressure on Brady.  When we get pressure on him, he becomes a very average player.  But if they can't get to him, we're going to be in for a long day.

I have no doubt that our offense can put up 30 points.  But if we can't get to Tom and he puts up 45 it's not going to matter.

I think there are a few things to consider for this game, or at least in my opinion, the pats are 2-7 in their last 9 away games, only away wins came against the bills and Buccaneers.

The pats have allowed 82 points in their first three games, most in a three game stretch in BB tenure.
