Long gone are the days of dirty dealing Donald Francis Shula, I refuse to call him Don, Shula isn’t a Don. The Dolphins are coming north in January. Up into the cold chilling grip of New England. These things would never happen in the days of Shula running the competition committee. Those days the Phins would never travel further north than Baltimore after Thanksgiving. But now ? nope , now the field is level and ive got a whole ring of keys for the demons of hell to jingle in front of him…here are my Monster Keys to Squishing the Fish
Ignore the Noise:
A ton of noise is surrounding the Patriots, It’s hanging over Gillette like a Taylor Swift Concert. And the volume is at 11, it’s the number one story. I mean stories of the week. I expect both Williams and Campbell back Sunday , Put on those noise canceling headphones and go play ball.
Sling it :
This week we are setting up the run with the pass. The Fins gave up more than 300 yards through the air to both the Bucs and Bengals over the past two weeks. Get Maye under center, drop back and sing that rock, I want Josh and Drake to exploit the Dolphins linebackers with rub and crossers,Keep Henry hot and bust a seam or two.
Henderson – Stevenson & Wheel Routes oh MY
The Dolphins are one of the worst teams in covering running backs this season giving up more than ten yards per reception and five touchdowns on the year. Get the dynamic duo into space and let them move the chains.
Win the Turnover Battle – how did the putrid Dolphins win last week ? they turned the bucks over three times, take care of the rock , capitalise on your opportunities
Own third Down – The dolphins are converting on just 34% of their third downs this season. That number is even more anaemic over their past three games. 26% .. lets keep it that way, The pats meanwhile were 4-9 on third and 2 for 2 on 4th down vs Gangrene
Limit the Laundry – The Patriots are going to have to keep up the good work just two flags tossed in last week’s big win. Miami has shown signs of frustration lately.averaging more than 6 flags over the past three games and ten vs the Bucs.
The Twilight Zone – The Pats were a perfect 5-5 last week in the twilight zone, 72% over their last 3 games. Keep it up. Maye be the right move is to late Drake do all the work , Miami is converting at 51% on the season.
Stop the Mighty Quin
Yea just kidding , right now De’ Von Achene is banged up with a shoulder. Jalyn Waddel is dealing with a rib injury, a real one not like Triston Casas, I’m not expecting them to even get on a plane . Someone tugged too hard on Daren Waller’s groin so he’s iffy. Get into cover 2 get your reps in , get out healthy. That’s it, that’s the tweet.
That’s all my rabid readers. I’m not counting on the Chargers to upset the Broncos so im thinking a number one seed is to much to ask for, get the W get the starters out of danger but everyone plays until we all know the bills didn’t piss down their legs. Get ready for Playoff football , this has been one of the most fun seasons in recent or distant memories, the only thing i know is no matter what the pats play next sunday too,,
