As you all know this week our beloved Dolphins will take on the New England Patriots at home on Monday Night. That means another nationally televised game for the Dolphins!
New England has looked good so far this season but not great. There are some areas that the Dolphins may be able to take advantage of this week, especially now that Henne and Marshall seem to be on the same page. That advantage may come in...you guessed it the passing game. New England's secondary has been taken advantage of by both the Jets and the lowly Bills. Last week the Dolphins showed that they can throw the football and have a great deal of success doing it. So look for the Dolphins to add their name to the list of teams that has terrorized the Pats secondary so far this season. The Dolphins will also look to run the football as they always do. They will have to do a better job of gaining yards on first and second down with the run to open up the passing game.
The Dolphins will have to do a much better job on the defensive side of the ball, which will be no easy task against a healthy Tom Brady. Brady seems to be very fired up this season and looks to be on top of his game. Cameron Wake and Koa Misi need to find a way to get off their blocks and disrupt Brady, this will give the secondary a fighting chance. Finally one thing that the Dolphins will really have to watch out for is the tight ends of the Patriots. The Dolphins have had trouble covering tight ends since last season. This week the Dolphins will face the young and very talented tight ends of the Patriots, they must limit their catches to slow down Brady and his high flying offense.
