Packers vs. Dolphins

Week 6!  Tied for first place in our division.  Playing against a head coach who coached for the Packers!  Traveling South to Miami.

The Packers have worked hard after a 1-2 start to get back in the hunt!  NOW, this team can continue to add momentum, or sputter again into a catch up situation?  What will it be?

First, let's take a look at the Dolphins, Coach Philbin discusses where the Dolphins are after a 2-2 start to the year.  Take a look at his interview.

It looks like they are in the same situation as the Pack, some good - some bad.

So, what does the game in Miami, against an old Packer coach, and a team in need of a win mean?

Miami
High 86, 50% chance of rain!  Typical Miami weather this time of year!

Coach Philbin
He knows McCarthy.  He know Rogers.  He know AJ Hawk!  Of all games, this is the game that McCarthy must coach!!  BE CREATIVE!  Try some new plays.  Work in Harris in the game plan! Run some NEW running plays!  A reverse - a screen pass, have some fun!!!

Miami Football Team
The Miami Dolphins like to run the football.  The Packers defense can be run on!  This will be a test!
Lamar Miller - 277 yards - 5.7 per carry - 2 TD's
Knowshon Moreno - 138 yards - 5.5 per carry - 1 TD

Good running backs!  A REAL test for our defense!
Miami Offense

Passing
Mike Wallace - 246 yards - 12.3 per catch - 20 receptions - 3 TD's
Brian Hartline - 161 yards - 10.1 per catch - 16 receptions - 1 TD
Charles Clay - 111 yards - 7.9 per catch - 14 receptions - 0 TD

Wallace is the big play guy.  Hartline is the possession guy & the tight end Clay is a good target! Have enough weapons to be dangerous!

Quarterback
Tannehill is a young & inconsistent QB!  What will we see?  So far, here are the first 4 weeks point totals for the Miami Offense:
Week 1 - Miami 33 - Patriots 20
Week 2 - Buffalo 29 - Dolphins 10
Week 3 - Kansas City 34 - Dolphins 15
Week 4 - Dolphins 38 - Raiders 14
Week 5 - BYE

OK, points scored 33 - 10 -15 - 38  What will we see?  I'll take the 10-15 team!

Miami Defense
Points allowed you have seen - 20 - 29 - 34 - 14

Ranking - 7th in yards allowed - 322 yards - Packers are 22nd, 317 yards per game!

Dolphins play a 4-3 defense & have some good players, but no big names.  Of course, my favorite is Jared Odrick!  He is from my HOMETOWN!  Lebanon, PA!!  The rest of the D-line have some very good players.  Brent Grimes, is a very good corner!  And I like him, because is is from the same college, of John Kuhn - Shippensburg!!!  Another PA connection!

And at 2-2, the Dolphins need a win, just like the Packers!  WHO WANTS IT MORE!!!!
