Can Phins Stay Perfect At Home?
Phins have been tough at home in 2018… will it continue?
The Miami Dolphins are a perfect 3-0 at home so far. Adam Gase has a 13-6 home record. Not bad. Today’s game is a big one. Can Miami get their fourth win at home and fifth win of the season against the Detroit Lions?
Coming off a big win, Miami is playing at home against a struggling team… ‘trap game’ comes to mind.
While the Detriot Lions have a sub-par record of 2-3, they’re still a dangerous team. They beat the Patriots this season who beat the heck out of the Phins. Also, Matt Patrica knows Gase well and is familiar with most of the players, so there’s a small edge there.
Miami, and their fans, better not take Detriot lightly
The Lions offense has put up plenty of points with 25 points per. This is 3.3 points better than the Dolphins 21.7 points per game average. Detroit’s offensive Achilles Heel is their running game. They are only averaging 97.2 yards rushing per game, which is 23rd worst in the league. Stopping Matthew Stafford and a bunch of receiving weapons will be the key matchup. Miami doesn’t want to fall behind and be forced to sling the ball. But, with Bobby McCain back and Cameron Wake, the Dolphins defense is primed to make a strong showing. Detriot’s biggest overall weakness is their Defense. Defensive End Ziggy Ansah being downgraded to out won’t either. The Lions are still suffering growing pains in their conversion from the 4-3 to the 3-4 Defense. The 27.4 points per game they are giving up is 25th worst in the league. Their run defense is terrible giving up 145.8 yards per game on the ground.
Will Gase over think it… or will he stick with the run game?
With Brock Osweiler the starter again Miami must establish the running game early and often to create consistency. Miami did an excellent job of sticking with the run game for most of last week against a very good Bears run defense. Gase did abandon the run at the very end of the 4th Qtr after the Kiko turnover, and likely cost them a shot at a game-winning field goal. Gase needs to ride the run game and Frank Gore this week because miraculous wins don’t happen every week.
This is a game where Miami can prove something by winning convincingly
Last week, Osweiler threw two picks… neither was pretty. With a full week of practice, Brock should be sharper. One thing he did do well was that he got rid of the ball quickly and showed excellent pocket presence. According to PFF, when blitzed, Brock performed twice as well as Tannehill did under pressure. When blitzed, ‘Brock had a QB rating of 141.7 and 7.7% turn-over worthy plays compared to Tannehill’s 58.8 and 13.7%’. This is one the Dolphins should win and win convincingly. Even the best pay per head reviews sites like Ace Per Head are favoring the Phins… slightly. Can we ditch the nail-biter for one week? If Miami plays consistent and sound football, they should be coasting to a win by the late 3rd Qtr. If they decide to beat themselves up, then anything is possible, even a loss. Phinsnews expects a 5-2 record. Now wouldn’t that swell?!
