Overview for New York Jets @ Miami Dolphins
Monday evening at Hard Rock Stadium brings together two AFC East teams in search of their first victory. The Miami Dolphins and New York Jets are both 0-3 and desperate to change the history of their seasons.
Do not be fooled by the identical recordings. New York was much more competitive than the classification suggests, abandoning two games per four combined points and fighting against power bills in The Wire. They believe that a first victory is close and the return of the quarter-Arrière Justin Fields, a tendency to authorize the concussion protocol, could be the spark.
The dual threat capacity of the fields is the X factor of jets. In limited action, he showed flashes with 245 yards by the pass, a touchdown, 97 yards on the ground and two other scores, and his presence modifies the plan for the defense in difficulty of Miami. If he is not cleared, the veteran Tyrod Taylor turned out to be capable during last week’s close loss against Tampa Bay, but the increase is not the same.
The list of injuries remains a concern. Seconding Jermaine Johnson II and the Jarvis Brownlee Jr. corner missed training Thursday, while several others, including Josh Reynolds and Tony Adams, were limited. The depth could become a problem if the game turns into a war of attrition.
Miami, meanwhile, is looking for something that looks like pace. The Dolphins have sold more than 30 points to each match and rank last to mark the defense at 32.3 points per competition. The opponents are on average 370 yards per week and there was little sign of resistance.
In attack, the figures are not much nicer. Tua Tagovailoa launched five affected, but already four interceptions out of only 89 attempts, and the speed attack formerly ceded has flouted. Tyreek Hill remains the only coherent threat to 198 yards and a score, while the recruit of’von Achane offers a promise on the ground, but training continues to stall.
Tagovailoa also faces a list of growing injuries around him. Jaylen Waddle and the winger tight Darren Waller are shoulder problems, while Corners Storm Duck and Jason Marshall Jr. missed the practice. The pressure is rising and external criticism, including a public JAB from the former MVP Cam Newton, has only intensified the spotlight.
