Dolphins trail Jets 20-7 at halftime in London on CBS12
Going into the bye, the quarter way point, the Dolphins are on the verge of elimination if they were to lose this game to the Jets and go 1-3. Osi Umenyiora won American Football’s biggest prize twice with the New York Giants and is now working for the NFL in London, looking for British rugby players who have the skills to switch to gridiron. We’re not happy about how we’ve played.
“We came out with a few energy”, Todd Bowles said. “I hope he gets the credit that he deserves around the league, with you guys, the media”.
The offense leaned on a familiar formula – with one surprise – and the Jets defense wreaked havoc on poor Ryan Tannehill for much of the fay.
The Dolphins were 0-for-12 on third downs and 0-for-4 on fourth downs.
“It’s not a time to panic”, he said. He was targeted twice in the passing game, but didn’t haul in any passes (you PPC owners are so greedy). Fitzpatrick’s favorite target was Brandon Marshall, who had 128 receiving yards on seven catches. “That’s our philosophy… I believe it’s a championship blueprint”.
“This was a tough decision for me to make, knowing how tirelessly Joe worked in his four years here to make this a winning team”, Ross said in a statement. “We’re basically trying to replicate everything that we’re doing here over there”.
“And you get an F!”, coaching staff. You’d think a staff coaching for their lives would not repeat the failed game plan of the first three games of the season, yet here it was.
The Dolphins, on the other hand, were a punchline.
The running back entered Sunday with just five games with more than 100 yards rushing in his first 33 appearances for the Jets after signing a three-year contract with the team in 2013.
If Calvin Pryor continues to play the way he has in the last three games (20 tackles, one forced fumble, one pass deflection and one interception), Miller shouldn’t be much of a problem out of the backfield.
The Jets looked fresh and spry after consulting a sleep specialist in the run-up to the trip.
Clay Matthews gave 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick a little bit of a show following an 8-yard sack in the third quarter.
The real prize, the touchdown for would be to get a team based here. “It’s always helpful to have that type of information”.
Ivory pummeled the Dolphins defense with 166 yards and a score on 29 carries.
On the first play from scrimmage, Ryan Fitzpatrick loaded up and found Marshall deep down the left side, single-covered by CB Brent Grimes, for a 58-yard connection, setting up two Ivory runs to the game’s first score. Welcome to our week four game chat!
Do coaches do enough to encourage players to play safely?
The Jets took a 13-0 lead in the first half through an Ivory 3-yard touchdown run and a pair of Nick Folk field goals. Fitzpatrick later completed a 10-yard TD pass to Eric Decker in the second quarter and Zac Stacy rushed in from the 2 in the third.
Tannehill ended up with 198 yards and two touchdowns on 19 of 44 passing.
Matt Slauson slid over to center from left guard, and the Bears went on to score on a 7-yard touchdown reception by wide receiver Eddie Royal.
