Load the box
The Jets will have quarterback Joe Flacco behind center in this contest. There’s no reason to fret about extended plays from the quarterback this week and as a result, Miami should promptly load the box and try their best to get the Jets into third and long situations with consistency. If they do, Miami will have plenty of opportunities to dial up pressure packages and have a race to a stationary target in Flacco. But the first step here is important: the Dolphins must prevent success early on and force the Jets to pass with significant yardage to go.
