Dolphins Jets Week 18 Preview

your Miami Dolphins. How's it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Sweenfield. And on today's show, it is preview day for at least one more week. We'll put the final game under the microscope as we look at Jets Dolphins, position by position, the tail of the tape, the key stats, what's at stake, the three keys, and the week eighteen picks from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is much like last week. I don't

feel much as needed here in the introduction section. We do know the deal by now. It's Dolphins and Jets and it all comes down to this for the home team, I don't want to see this season end yet, man, not this week, and we've got a chance to extend it with a win and some help from the Buffalo

Bills on Sunday, presumably against the New England Patriots. We also have a defeat from October to avenge here, and I personally remember all the smack talk the Jets fans, even their own social account did to the Dolphins after that game. I remember the waddles they did after the game as well, So that's all in the back of

my memory. And even though the Dolphins are not a full strength in this game, still really want to make that avenge that loss, a game that was tight into the fourth quarter before the wheels just sort of fell off for the Miami Dolphins. And if there's one thing to learn here both sides, it's just how long long an NFL season is, which is kind of funny because it's also like the quickest four months on the calendar

every year, isn't it. But it still feels like I was just writing my Patriots Week one preview podcast the other day, but from one book end to the next, another division rival here and everything on the line from Week eighteen, it's just a reminder of how long these seasons actually are, because if the Dolphins season feels like the Lord of the Rings trilogy or the Godfather trilogy, then it feels like the Jets season would be the

other one of that. And actually, I look at the run times on those two trilogies and they're actually very close. So I guess my analogy on trilogies falls short. And by that I mean the other day somebody was referencing I think it was the buff the first Buffalo game to me, first three games of the season, the three no start, And I said to that person, that feels like a different season than the one we're currently in.

And the reason I said that, and that the Jets season feels like longer of the two trilogies is because of the roller coaster ride they've experienced at that quarterback position as well. Obviously we've been on a very similar ride. But to pull your former number two quarterback, get a spark from the backup, have to go back up to the number two pick, only to go back to the backup and have him play his worst game of his career with that flak jacket in Seattle in an elimination game.

It's exhausting just writing it all out, so not to mention they used Joe Flacco when Zack Wilson got hurt in the preseason, and then Chris Traveler had a cameo two weeks ago. Every NFL season has ups and downs. Every team deals with their own unique set of circumstances. For the Jets, they've ridden a top level defense to a near five hundred record this season. They are also on a five game slide, though, one that has left them eliminated from playoff contention heading into this game with

the Dolphins. But this is a team that saw a pretty similar flip from the Dolphins. Saw between ten and tons of draft picks, a big free agent hall, and you really restocked the talent cupboard that was barren and now is like NFL level in one off season. It's probably the second rookie class behind Seattle. They've got free agent contributions everywhere between Jordan Whitehead, LaMarcus Joiner, DJ Read,

George Fant, Corey Davis. It's a competitive roster that's well coached, plays hard, and you have to imagine they'll be looking to play spoiler in this game. I recall our Week eight team game last year, being pretty fired up over that win, and it didn't even remove the Patriots from the playoffs. You know, the Jets would love to do

the exact same here. Let's go ahead and get into a Dolphins offense first, Jets defense, and we start with the quarterback position and the Dolphins offense and the Jets safeties and their defense in general. And we don't know exactly who the quarterback will be at the time of this podcast, but we do know that Teddy Bridgewater was limited on Wednesday, and coach even told us in his press conference that Bridgewater was unable yet to throw a

football with that pinky dislocation. So we'll talk in vague terms about the position, but I do want to highlight a couple of players specific things. And first, you know, McDaniel addressed this on Wednesday. Skyler playing as the starter with a week of reps versus coming off the bench cold has really been a night and day difference. And I look at this game. If we can get quarter one versus the Viking Skylar Thompson, I like the Dolphins chances if we get off the bench against the Jets

or the Patriots I don't. It's as simple as that, and there's other factors that are, you know, heavily weighing as well. I think we saw in that Vikings game some off script plays. There was some on time and in rhythm type of throws. But I think the biggest difference in games like these, where you don't have your QB one and you're playing a team that has their own offensive struggles is the turnovers and like critical penalties that have just plagued Miami seemingly every single week, going

back to you know, the San Francisco game. Can we go back to that moment? Please took me back to the Trencher field touchdown and just redo the rest of the rest of history there. And that was the difference against the Patriots, right, we turned it over twice, Patriots didn't. We had a critical illegal shift penalty that took us out of field goal range and a first and ten

to a third and long outside of field range. And those are paramount importance and in a game like this, in a game like last week, and if we see that happen again, it's hard to imagine overcoming those things for victory. It's just it just is. If we button those up though. To me, it's I would say it's in the bag. Don't turn it over, don't ruin successful plays with needless penalties that you can easily correct by just lining up right, make your field goals, and you'll

beat this team. It sounds simple, but it's plagued this team all year long. Like when two was in there, he was so good that we're able to overcome them, you know, without him, we haven't been able to do that so far. And it's as simple as the third and twelve Skylar Thompson interception last week. That's a turnover. We've seen the same situation multiple times where a third and medium becomes third and long. I'm thinking back to

the Detroit game. I think it happened twice in that game where third and seven became third and six became third and eleven, third and seven became third and twelve and two. It would just dial up Tyreek and j Lynn, get the first down regardless, avoid those and win this game. In my opinion, I also think we saw those examples

in New England. When Skyler first came in looked a little bit disjointed, not on time, but as the game went on, he fell into a rhythm and played faster in that game, which is what we saw against the Vikings. So to facilitate a plan like that again, that's got to be the key. Now, the Jets defense is no joke. Neither was the Patriots. They've slumped a little bit over this losing streak, and it's been most notable in the takeaway department. And that's how these teams with bad offenses

win in two right. It's why I've argued for three years now that championship rare level type of defensive production is just not sustainable. We saw it happen here. High powered offense though, is, and hell to go further, My point is that the NFL defenses are essentially as good as the offense they're playing against, in that you're not gonna go seventeen weeks and play lockdown defense all year. You won't play, you know, high wire type of offense

all year either. But just look at the two comparatively, and look at us last year completely erased all those backup quarterbacks we saw and bad offenses. Mike glennon Ian book, Who the hell else was? Who cares? Gold jacket? Green jacket? Joe Fly? It was one of them. It's easy to start pad against teams like that, but then you face a team with real weapons and real firepower. Different story. That's why the Buffalo Bills beat us by three thousand

points last year. So the Jets offense is really bad, but they won games because of things that are not sustainable. Right. Elite defense weekend and week out, aided by turnovers through their seven and four start, fifteen takeaways over the five game slide just one, so protect the damn ball. As far as their approach, it's aggressive. They play one gap, they penetrate and move the pocket while playing excellent coverage

on the perimeter. Sauce Gardner and d J. Reid has been the best perimeter corner duo in football, and I don't think it's close. We'll get to that moment. Here's how they aligned defensively. Thirty four defense is four point five percent, forty three is twenty five percent. They stand in that base quite a bit. Their nickel defense is and they operate from dime five percent of the time, so they have some good mix there. Their pre snap structure,

they have twenty four plays and zero coverage. They have single high safety fifty percent of the time and a two high structure. Of the time, they blitz fourteen point nine percent of their snaps, that's the lowest rate in football. But their pressure rate is ninth at twenty three point seven. So I gotta block their front four curious to see if that's how it goes. And this one you have

to earn single high. Right, we talked about it all the time, and those numbers are not specific to situation, but they've played pretty well this year to the point of forcing teams into situations that allow them to get to too high. They're also super stout upfront, which helps dictate that portion of the game. And back in Week five, if we saw those numbers tilted significantly the other way.

They were too high against Miami specifically on their snaps and that was Raheem's first one yard day of the season. So obviously, if they play it that way, you have to have success running the football. And just to bring it back to the quarterback situation, really, I don't think my focus in terms of keys, like, you know, playing smart, executing what's available, and protecting the football. You know that's true for either Teddy or Skyler, And that's what I thought.

We got through two and a half quarters in New England and it produced a fourteen ten lead with the football. And if you hang on too that we are currently in the playoffs right now and don't have to worry about it. We can rest guys this week, but then a defensive score tilts the game. We can't let that happen again. If it happens, you're gonna lose. That's that's how that's how it's gonna go. At safety for the Jets, LaMarcus Joinner was back last week, but he reaggravated the

hip injury that had him missed two games prior. Tony Adams replaced him to pair up with Jordan Whitehead on the back end, and those guys have both struggled mightily all year long. And here lies where the Dolphins have to get after them. Whitehead doesn't take good angles in pursuit and he misses law of tackles, whether it's the backs or Waddle and Tyreek, making guys miss in space. We need some yards after contact and after the catch.

In this one, Whitehead being targeted for thirty two for two eighty three this year, two teddies and two picks, Adams just three for four and thirty one yards. They go with Adams over Ashton Davis, a player I was very high on out of the draft, but I obviously missed that one, and uh yeah, Joiners out of the

lamp as well. So they go to Tony Adams and Will Parks is not there either, and you can see the two high structure plan based on their snap Sunday, Whitehead played thirty two snaps in the post, which was half of his workload. But then Tony Adams played thirty eight of his sixty up there as well, so even more too high than we're used to. And again that's

not facing Tyreek and Jalen. Speaking of those guys receivers and tight ends versus corners, I mentioned Sauce and read there's a chart that I saw the other day that showed all primary perimeter cornerbacks for their yards per target allowed and forced and completions by target, and Sauce was up in the corner of the chart on his own planet.

Remember all those charts this year, and it's still that way because he was still very productive and very very effective this year, But those charts with two away up in that right hand corner, away from even Mahomes and Alan. That's where Sauce is on this chart. He might be the best cornerback in the league already, which is absolutely crazy. And also in that quadrant of the graph, only fourteen other corners are there. One of them is d J. Reid,

So this is the best cornerback Tenant we'll see. Sauce is aggressive, he's long, he's a playmaker. Teams have just opted to not throw at him. He had the pick in the first game against US, you know, just winning at the top of the route and playing through the wide receiver and then read has been really good as well. And he brings the same style to play. He is

aggressive and has a big bark, a big key. This week, you need to utilize that priestnap motion, use bunches and stacks and shifts to get free releases from Tenants seven team. But if you do that, you've got to get the calls in quick because it's been costing us timeouts and penalties. Cannot have it this week. Can't not do it. But if you can get clean releases, I like Tenants seventeen

against anybody, even the best there splits this season. They play off coverage eighty percent of the time, so screen game, quit game, maybe they pressed twenty percent of the time. Primarily a zone defense on the back end, and again we saw tons of that in the Week five game, which you know is pretty task quo to deal with tenants seventeen on balance for teams this year. But they also run a ton of hybrid coverages where it's you know,

front side zone, backside man vice versa. They don't travel read is the right cornerback sauce as a left cornerback. But this that does change sometimes in the red zone as they play more manned principles and draw specific assignments down in that area of the field. So that's good on good, but it's only part of the matchup. And we've seen Sherfield involved. We saw Craive Craft back last week.

We've seen Cedric Wilson get some chances here and there, and a lot of this is handled by you know, linebackers and safety combinations handling zones in the middle of the field. So that's where I want to go after. Like their strengths on the perimeter, our strength is inside. Let's go after that, right, So whether you're getting it to them when the play breaks down off structure or if it gets out hot. I do think it's plausible to see elevated production from the backs and tight ends.

We saw Teddy take his share of checkdowns in the game on Sunday, and Skyler certainly did too. It's tough to identify a weakness at this position for the Jets because the slot cornerback Michael Carter has been really damn good too. So we'll get to the backs in a moment. But teams have had success utilizing the Jets aggressiveness against them in terms of those whams and chips. Show the quarterback your numbers and dump it off, leaks, delayed drags.

Remember last year in the game, Adam Shaheen converts a critical third and one on that first drive with the delayed drag route going against the flow of play action. All hands on deck, man, Like, those are the kind of things we have to get done, execute, just find a way to win the damn football game. Uh numbers this year Gardner thirty sixty nine. Our teams throwing at

him one touchdown, two picks read for seventy nine. They are really good, man, four six yards, two touchdowns in a pick and then Michael Carter fifty one of seventy three for four nine, a touchdown and a pick. Let's go ahead and take our first break right there and come back on the other side and get to the offensive line, defensive line, Dolphins offense, Jets defense. That's next Draftime podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by

Auto Nation, Dolphins, OH Line, Jets, d Line. Picking it back up here with your Dolphins and Jets Week eighteen preview. It's all on the line for your Miami Dolphins. We'll see what we have here in terms of players available. Hopefully to Ron Arms that can get back out there, because you just feel the difference and the impact that

he makes, like the wheels keep falling off. We don't have to rontot left tackle on the offensive line, and it was okay with Kendall Lamb, but then after he went down when they came back off again, and Lamb is not going to be available this week, So come on, t Stead, we need you, big dog. Um. You know, there was a lot of protection breakdowns in that Week five game and the and you know, situations where we had to pass, and that's that's why starting fast is

going to be a key spoiler alert here. I don't think we can just let this Jets defense get into multi score lead scenario. That game featured the most pressures allowed in a game this year and obviously two fourth core turnovers. The guys they go, they call upon on the edge position, Carl Lawson forty six pressures, he leads all edge defenders and eighteen run stops. And this is why t Stead needs to play. We cannot afford to

to to give him anyone besides Toront Armstead. I'll just say that Bryce Huff thirty two pressures, three run stops. He is a a situational sub package pass rusher, although I know Jets fans want to see a lot more of him. And then Jermaine Johnson hasn't been very effective twelve pressures, nineteen run stops on the interior, uh, Quentin Williams fifty pressures, leads the team actually in thirty one run stops, Frying Lan Myers forty six pressures, two run stops,

and then Sheldon Rankings five. Those guys can all play that quasi end role to like. They're all kind of in that Wilkins and Seiler mold. They play all over the line well Williams and Franklin Myers rankings is more inside. But if we can win the matchup, man, this is the strength of our team and they play so so aggressively. Meanwhile, I think two of the guys we have that have been best all year our Hunt and Williams, and they did a good job cutting those guys off at the pass, ceiling,

reaching all that fun stuff. We'll see what they do it left card, but it was Leah Mykenberg last time around. Bottom line, if you can't you just you just can't lose on early downs. You can't do it and allow these guys to wreck havoc by the way they have all year. The Seahawks ran for and it allowed them

to control the entire game. Like obviously, running for two yards is great, and I'm not saying you have to do that because you usually don't do that, but getting rushing production it's gonna be a huge key in this game because of the defense you're facing, but also because of your own injury situation and to that point, running backs and linebackers, to me, the game plan is simple, run the football, run up war and then run out

some more. Then throw at anybody besides sauce and read, don't even give him a chance to take it away. Just play safe, Like I don't trust the Jets offense to score more than ten or thirteen points in this game. And maybe that means we find different ways to create matchups for Tyrek and Jalen, you know, but maybe it means needing more support from the other cast more. We need a hundred and fifty yards in the ground, that's

kind of my my bromer to win this game. And we need completions against their back backers, safeties and slots. That's the vulnerability. That's where you attack now Ken Raheem repeat his one hundred yard day from week number five, and also we didn't have Jeff Wilson in that game. A good dose of both in a successful ground game would go a long way towards winning this one. And the Jets, as we've mentioned, they play a lot of too high and they try to win with their front

and they should. It's very good. But we also saw Seattle run the ball very well last week and it was really in the same vein that we found success with back in week five, running wide, and the reason they do this is because they compromise the edges to really get interior pressure forced the quarterback to deal with that and just try to clog things up inside. And they want you to. They want you to get wide like that's there, that's their focus. So oblige them and

run those whams, Run those traps, run those chips. Kenneth Walker had that sixty yard run off a compromised edge to get their offense going. C J. Mosley is excellent against the run. He leads a team with forty eight run stops. Actually had a nice year in coverage to a touchdown in a pick and I would still I would still favor smart running backs against him in coverage, and he and Quincy Williams have actually been really good together.

They never blitz, they had the lowest rate in the NFL, but they both fit the run and handle a running back tight end coverage responsibility fairly well. Uh tough task this week for Miami, but any chances that we can create mismatches and side would be really nice. It always is, but getting those matchups opposed to those two guys on lockdown corners would obviously be a big boon. Run the football, throw to the backs. It's a big week for these guys.

The Jets don't put a lot of emphasis you know, in the run game or against the edge, like they want to win with their guys and one on one matchup. So to find a way to win against the offensive line one on one would be a huge key this week. And man, I just wish we had gotten to see two attack this defense because it's a lot like the Niners where they don't have those the differences, they don't have those freaks at the linebacker position to take away

some of that stuff they did in that game. It's why I think we could have swept this team with no issues if we had our quarterback for both. But we don't, and we didn't, so we'll see. The Seahawks ran for nearly two hundred yards in their games, six for eighty three off left end, eleven for thirty seven off right end. That's eighteen for one twenty combined. Man in Week five, we had five for thirty six off left end and seven for thirty four off right end.

That's twelve for eighty That would go a long way to winning the football game, especially because of what does to our play action boot game. Let's go ahead and go Dolphins defense Jets offense. It'll be Mike White under center for the Jets. First time we've ever seen him. He replaced Zach Wilson a couple of months ago, played pretty well, had that rough game in Buffalo where he showed you how tough he was, and he's showing you how tough he is this week and last week by playing,

you know, through the rib injury. A lot of respect for him, what he's doing, especially in this game. That doesn't mean anything for the Jets. What's the book on this guy? Though? Well, I'll tell you, and I'm really curious to see how we defended, because what he doesn't do well is what we don't do. Just on our numbers, you know, against the blitz six nine point six yards

per pass, one touchdown, two picks. When he's not blitzed somehow, that goes down to a nine point reduction, six yards per attempt, a three point six yard reduction, two touchdowns, two picks. Look, I'm gonna be blunted by this again. This is an offense for the Jets that has scored one touchdown in four weeks. It's terrible. It's been terrible.

The entire linees beat two s the line can't protect the quarterback is not playing well, their top back is out and they haven't had success without him, and they've got one productive wide receiver. And look at those numbers. It's it's time for the front four to go win a game. Go win a game. Go sack this dude four times, turn them over four, four times, three times. I don't know I put four, but let's let's go with three or two. Make him feel that pressure and

win the game. That's got me thinking, what are the Seahawks do specifically against Mike White? They blitzed him nine times. He went six for nine with seven in the yards and a pick. They did not blitz in thirty seven. Check that forty one times and he went seventeen for thirty seven with a buck seventy and a pick, and all four of the Seahawks sacks came without blitzing. Got it?

Good to your school? Season long depth splits twenty plus yard passes five of sixteen, one twelve, one touchdown, and three picks ten for nineteen ten to nineteen yard throws five five fifty seven and two touchdowns when he's pressured forty one and a half percent six point nine yards per past one t D two picks a twenty three percent completion reduction. But same y p A. Pressure him

with four and you'll beat him. It's that simple. Usually it is, but against this quarterback in particular, it's really the case. Uh. They run eleven personnel sixty nine percent at the time. Nice they operate from twelve personnel two percent of the time, and they go two backs, one tight end four percent of the time. And they have pretty good variety. They actually ran better than two percent from O two personnel. That's no acts and two tight ends.

That's a cool formation. Three receivers, two tight ends, a third, teen personnel, one back, three tight ends and twenty one personnel. It's Mike Lafloor. So it's off the Santa N Tree. Lots of priest Nat motion, they ranked top ten in that category, Lots of eye candy in the running game and quarterback boot game. Off of that, It'll be interesting to see how they attack and how they move. Mike White.

I don't know if you saw the Seahawks game. Talking about a lot here, but he wore military grade flak jacket and he just did not look the same. The ball came off his hand differently. He seemed a little bit gun shy under duress at times, and Jets fans talked about a couple of drops that happened early that they felt like he kind of got worse after that, like a lack of trust, which I hope was the case going into this game. And that's why this defense must must must go get it done. Like I'm gonna

keep talking about it. You have to do what you did to the Patriots in the second and third quarter. Flush out the opening drive and that clinching drive. Hold this team to ten points. Man, it's doable. They're a dead man walking offense. Do not let them score multiple touchdowns on you do that, don't let him score on defense. And my playoffs as simple as that White wants to hit the top of his drop and get the ball out. If you can disrupt them early, and given their struggles

getting the ball deep, maybe it's achievable. I don't know. But disrupting the early timing, forcing him off that first read, pressuring with four that feels like the ticket here. Hopefully we get X and Chubb back. My prediction is that Chub, Wilkins, and Phillips go win this game for the Dolphins if they are allowed to. I thought White did his darndist to get the ball in some tight windows last week

and it cost him. The Jets had one of the lowest separation totals in the league last week next Gen stats, and you saw White fitting some passes in but eventually was picked off. And if you can locate where he wants to go pre snap, you can do the same. I sure hope we find a way to free up Javon Holland in this game. Between not needing the blitz and the Jets failing to do anything downfield all year, it's a good chance to put eight in some playmaking situations.

That receiver, tight end slash cornerback. Garrett Wilson has been as good as they come as a rookie. He's a polished route runner who's just a good football player. That's just a good show. Everybody loves Raymond. He catches everything, competes his ass off, and has own that he can play with NFL corners time and time again. Hopefully we get X back. If not X, you have to imagine Kater get some action against him. Kater has been so good this year, particularly in the slot. Wilson has played

their of his snaps. Barrios is the top slot guy sixty percent of the time, but we can't afford to put X or cater on him because that's that's too many resources to that guy. Uh, those resources gotta go to Wilson from my him. When Elijah Moore targets, Wilson has a undred twenty two, Conklin the tight end has eighty, and then Elijah Moore has fifty eight, Corey Davis fifty five, the running back Michael Carter forty five, Barrios thirty one, and c j Usama twenties six. So it's basically Wilson

and Conklin. Uh, those are your guys, like and Conklin lines up attached. Does a lot of his work in multifasted roles where he's a touchdown maker and pretty effective where he works off of chips releasing into the route. He's a good blocker in the running game, which plays into White getting the ball out fast. So that seems like a good role to me for Eric Roe, but we shall see. Last time we played, Conklin got just one target on Jerome Baker and no catches in the game.

Usamo was kind of tight on one at the time, but he's kind of edition back to the tight end to the key here to me is more team based, the matchup based, find a way to disrupt the quick throws and when you're four man fronts with one on once and you'll have lots of success, which takes us to O line verse DeLine. Let's go ahead and take our second break though, and come back and do that on the other side. Drivetime Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,

brought to you by Auto Nation. Two more position groups and specialists and what's at stake in three keys and week eight team picks that's still to come here. Let's go ahead and talk about Jets offensive line, Dolphins defensive line and the pressure numbers and pass blocking snaps for Dwayne Brown twenty three on four fifty but he didn't practice on Wednesday. Lake and Thominson thirty one on six, Connor McGovern twenty four on six seventy seven. So those

two guys have played all year. But the injuries at Brown for for left tackle, right guard and right tackle have been you know, substantial. Uh lou Laurent duvern A tar Nief nine pressures on fifty one snaps just one one game last week, fant fifty seven rather twenty seven pressures, three hundred and seventy two pass block snaps. They've had

injuries all year at this position. Uh big, you know, bringing in Duvenate Tardif to play right guard, the Seahawks were able to get to you know, get constant pressure, limit the Jets running game. That's what Miami has to do in this game. Both those tackles are bigger players, So finding ways for our guys to get two way goes, you know, where you can kind of iso them out, slide protection and you get Bradley Chubb against Dwayne Brown, who's who's a little bit older and you know, heavy footed,

this the stage of his career. And George Fan has always been that way off the right tackle positions. So if you get protection slides where Phillips is or you know, or even Ingram or Van Ginkle or Chub was one on one, we gotta win those. Gotta find a way to win those. Um, just get consistent pressure and then as you expect, you know, each week, Wilkins needs to put duvern A Tardif to school, like beat him every

single snap. You should. Their left guard was a big free agent signing who hasn't worked out, and their tackles were slow, and the center is a career journeyman, so you need to whip them up front. Last time around, we did get pressure, but Zach Wilson was able to have ade a lot of that. White is not as fleet of foot, but he's more willing to pull a trigger on time. Faster they ca matchup and one that

the Dolphins have to go get. We finish up at running back in linebacker, and Zonovan Knight has been kind of the go to since the briefe Hall injury. He's averaging two point eight eight yards after contact with twenty eight four Smiths tackles. The Seahawks did not let him get going, and that's a key. By that, I mean early penetration, hit him before he can explode through his gap. Miami has been so sound in that department all year.

You needed again. As for the linebackers, I think it's a big game for a land and Roberts because of that run game and the need to slow it. He's been playing some of his best ball in Miami. Will need him to play fast and aggressive as usual, and when Michael Carter comes into the game. You've got to be prepared for his involvement in the passing game. They're they're split favor zone one, so they' run a little bit of both of those special teams. Jason Sanders twenty nine.

He's missed three p A t s as well the four misses from fifty plus, one from nine and one from under twenty nine more steads down to three point five percent touchback rape and his inside the twenty yard line rate. He's also at forty point seven net. All those numbers improved last week. Good game. Last week. Greg's airline for the Jets has six misses. Maybe we can get someone to miss a field goal against us this year opposed their way around four from fifty plus and

two from nine. He's twenty for thirty four. Just miss a couple of kicks, great, come on, help us out. He's made twenty nine p t s. And then Brandon Man has a ten point three percent touchback rate ins had the twenty yard line rate oft, averaging forty point three net. What's at stake in this game? Everything? The entire season, you don't win, there's no Week nineteen that's it. Three keys, limit mistakes, it's gonna be one in the margins. We didn't win in the margins against the Patriots and

we lost the game. You have to do it this week. These are two teams that are really limping into this game. Win in those margins and you should win the game. Number two, start fast. The Jets get a two score lead in this game, I don't want to see what happens so that defense against this offense. Let's go ahead and keep it a closer game, or get a lead ourselves and then do to them, but we don't want them to do to us. Start fast, and the number three win. You're one on one's up front on the

offensive line. If they can find a way to handle somehow Quentin Williams and Sheldon Rankins and John Franklin Myers, they're gonna do just fine. If you can find a way to limit those guys from wrecking the game, you should win this game. Those are the three keys. Let the mistakes start fast and win. You're one on one matchups on the offensive front. My week eight teen picks,

we went twelve and three last week. We are now one seventy seven and two at the sixty nine eight percent, and that means if we go twelve and four this week, we hit the goal of seventy and technically this should be the easiest week, right because we have seventeen weeks of evidence on these teams. We have lots of games that have you know, weited motivation for one side. We have plenty of games that probably won't see starting quarterbacks. So can we get twelve wins? That's what we need.

Here are the winners, Chiefs over Radars, Jags over Titans, Dolphins over Jets, and builds our Patriots. You know what that means to the playoffs. Bengals over Ravens. I'll take the Browns over the Steelers, Texans over the Colts. That might cost from the first pick if that happens, right, I think the Vikings over the Bears, who are starting Nathan Peterman. There you go, Tampa over the Falcons, the

Saints over the Panthers. The Cardinals are starting, uh David blow, give me the Niners on that one, Cowboys over wardman, give me the Chargers over the Broncos, the Seahawks over the Rams, the Eagles over the Giants, and the Packers over the lines.
