Teammates to Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick: Less beard, more TDs

Beard trims and big performances certainly seem to go together for the veteran quarterback.

The Miami Dolphins “anemic” offense managed just four third down conversions on Sunday against the New York Jets.

“This season hasn’t been ideal”, Fitzpatrick said. I need to grow it in a little more. Marshall led the Jets with nine receptions for 131 yards on eleven targets.

Taylor, who played quarterback at Nebraska, has been part of the Dolphins staff since 2012, where he’s served as Miami’s quarterback coach. The Jets (6-5) had lost four of their last five overall. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and takes place from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

“I think we’re awake”, Bowles said when asked if the team needed a wakeup call.

QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (22-37, 277 yards, 4 TD, 0 INT) threw four touchdown passes, two to WR Brandon Marshall, one ot WR Eric Decker and another to rookie WR Devin Smith. And we felt it was going to be more of a – you’re going to pound it a bit and then eventually you’ll break a big one. The Dolphins finished with 12 yards on nine rushes, the fewest yards on the ground any Jets team has allowed.

The Jets scored on their opening possession of the second half after Jeremy Kerley’s longest punt return of the year – 58 yards. Besides the division-leading Patriots, their remaining foes – the Giants, Titans, Cowboys and Bills – have losing records.

The formula for a team like the Jets, with one of the better defenses in the National Football League, is no secret. He added 21 yards on five scrambles. Dolphins center Mike Pouncey injured his foot on the play that led to the interception and never returned. It was the second 10-catch game of Landry’s two-season career as well as his second 100-yard effort. It was his ninth catch this season.

Unfortunately, the concepts and, by extension, Tannehill (though it very well could be the other way around) proved much less effective this season.

The Dolphins are 3-4 since Campbell replaced Joe Philbin, who was sacked October 5. There’s nothing I can say that’s going to make that look better. Smith got injured early in Jets’ training camp with broken ribs forcing him to miss critical and invaluable time building chemistry and learning the playbook. “Those are the facts”.

Quarterback Ryan Tannehill #17 of the Miami Dolphins looks on in the fourth quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on November 15, 2015 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The ball was behind Matthews, who got a hand on it but couldn’t corral it. The ball bounced to the turf as Matthews was hit from behind by Pryor with 11:40 remaining in the first. Matthews got up slowly and walked to the sideline gingerly.

“To see the season go the way it’s been, it’s tough – it hurts”, Tannehill said “The talent we have, the guys that we have, it hurts”.
