GET THE BALL OUT QUICKLY
The Jets offensive line has been decimated by injuries this year. With the Jets going from Zach Wilson to Tim Boyle under center this week, more emphasis needs to be placed on them getting the ball out as quickly as possible.
Miami ranks ninth in the NFL in sacks with 31. That’s why Boyle needs to get rid of the ball inside the pocket.
Unlike Wilson, Boyle isn’t super athletic or someone who will make plays with his legs. If he holds the ball too long, it could be another long day for the Jets offense.
ESTABLISH RUSHING ATTACK
The bread and butter of the Jets offense has been their rushing attack. However, teams have recently been stacking the line of scrimmage to eliminate Breece Hall from the equation.
During his last five games, Hall has averaged 31.4 yards per game and has just one rushing touchdown during that span. The Jets must create different ways for Hall to be more successful in the backfield.
If the Jets aren’t running the ball effectively, their offense gets in third and long situations, which hasn’t been great for the team. Gang Green ranks dead last in third-down efficiency, with its success rate at 22.9%
In their four wins this season, the Jets have averaged 138.3 rushing yards per game. It sounds simple, but the ground attack is the key to an upset victory.
GET AFTER TUA
If the Jets are going to overcome a dynamic Dolphins offense, it starts with getting pressure on Tua Tagovailoa.
Miami ranks first in offensive yards (434.0) and points per game (30.5). Jets edge rushers Bryce Huff and Jermaine Johnson both have registered five sacks apiece.
This would be the perfect game for Quinnen Williams to get his sack total up. With teams doubling him, Williams has just two sacks through 10 games.
The more pressure the Jets can generate, the more they could potentially force errant passes from Tagovailoa, which could also help the offense have a shorter field for scoring opportunities.
