While I want to have high hopes for this Sundays road game in Miami, my naysayer side keeps popping up on shoulder and slapping me in the face. I want to think we can win multiple games in a row, I want to think that Josh Freeman is the answer (shit, I even picked him up in my keeper fantasy league just to give myself some false hope), but that damned naysayer keeps slapping the hell out of me.
Point blank, the Dolphins run the ball too well, and we can’t stop the run. Even in our win last week, we gave up 150+ yards rushing. Against a team who pounds the ball relentlessly, do we really stand a chance? I have said this from the start of the season when I knew we were going to be awful, bad teams don’t win on the road. That essentially gave us a best chance scenario of 8-8 (that was giving us one road win, because one of our “home” games was in freaking England).
The one way we can win, play action. The Dolphins are great against the run, but their young tandem of corners is just learning the ropes. Start the game out with a relentless game plan of running the ball, and then unleash the cannon that regardless of Freeman’s accuracy, he certainly possesses. Let’s start using the offensive weapons that we do have, Winslow, Stroughter and possibly that bum Michael Clayton.
Will our coaches listen to my game plan, of course not, I’m a bum, and so are they. Bums don’t listen to bums, but damn, at least I have a plan.
