Dolphins - wildcat

SmashMouth · 10-20-2009, 08:02 PM

Relax fellahs.... we stopped the wildcat cold already with Philly ... the Fins may have slightly better RBs ... although Westbrooks ain't no slouch himself.... but I do like FF's point about the Fins getting down on their knees praying for bad weather ... If you gotta pray for anything for some kind of edge, GAME OVER! The Fins will be smoking Ricky Williams' peace pipe before the game is over.

I didn't say I was praying for bad weather I was just reporting what the forecast is for Sunday and while Brees is ridiculously accurate he's not know for a powerful arm so some of his passes might get hung up in the wind. Henne on the other hand does have a very strong arm and may not affect is passes as much. By the way I am in the way comparing Henne to Brees. The only qb at Drews level is Manning and maybe Brady but I give the edge to Brees in that match up.

The way I see it weather is just part of the game so if the rain helps us I'm fine with that. One thing I would never hope for is a team to have a major injury coming into a game or during a game.

i think all of yall made your point. ( at some point ) STATS, doesn't mean crap too me. and as far as the wild cat goes, it's just like Greg said "It's just another part of the game" We have to be ready for it! Geaux Saints !

Wish we could see more of the other teams fans like FF here. As FF stated we also are not that far behind them with the running game so they will have to recognize that as well as us. We are going to have to find a way to get Brown on the ground and not make those 40 + yard runs. I also think the Dolphins are underrated this year and have not been given much respect. Their offensive and defensive lines are tough and far from a walk in the park for us. We have great runners in our division that we have been dealing with and have burnt us in the past but also have caused us to prepare more to stop the running game. The difference this year of course is Sharper, Greer, and Porter who can take away the long ball and put eight in the box. Looks like an old time smash mouth game that will say a lot about which defense is the real deal.

make no mistake about it, the saints are undefeated because of their turnover ratio. if the saints turn the ball over it could keep the underated dolphins in the game, but if the dolphins turn it over its game over.

Its not like the Fins will strickly run the Wildcat all game. We didnt play very well against the Iggles when they ran it but I do expect our D to really practice hard against it this week. It will be one of our main focuses this week. If we can go up early again this Sunday, I expect to force them to throw as we have done to several teams thus far.

People forget that our offense can chew the clock up too!

What I think we're going to see is the same thing that the Dolphins did against the other two teams that Henne has started against.
Fins will come out trying to force the Saints to respect our passing game. If we can get some yards through the air then it keeps your defense from crowding the line of scrimmage. If we can keep your safeties from cheating up towards the line then we'll try running at you.
Yeah I know...easier said than done, but that's what I believe we can expect to see.
The flip side is that I would expect your defense to challenge Henne early and try to rattle him into some bad decisions. It may work, it may not. Only time will tell. I won't be surprised in the least if your defense pressures him into a bad performance. However, don't be shocked if Henne actually stands up to it and has a good day.
I'm not the guy to make predictions, but I do like our chances on Sunday.
