Just one quick point to start the football conversation.
The Phins defense does present on interesting problem we haven't seen yet, at least on the surface. With Wake and Vernon as 2 accomplish speed rushers from the outside along with Suh pressuring the middle the Pats are going to come up with something different in their game plan.
This is very simple but I don't know the Dolphins' personnel well enough yet to go deeper, and we'll have to go fast as the game is in 2 more days. But on the surface, my instinct is to run right at Wake. To a lesser degree use the same game plan we used vs the Jets. In other words, against NJ we decided we wouldn't be successful with the run (for a number of reasons), so why bother and thus eliminate a strength of the Jets. Wake is a big asset to the Phin defense as a pass rusher, but is a weakness against the rush. Every time you run right at him, you are not only eliminating a strength, you are accentuating a weakness
Of course that will depend on who is available on the OL and at RB this week. It must be a big temptation to sit all the banged up brigade and allow them the full 1o more days to fully heal. At any rate this is a start, but we really need to start checking this team out. Adding Suh was the only reasons so many mediot had the Dolphins as a legitimate threat to beat the Pats for the division.
BTW- an interesting stat. Every team in the AFCE has at least 3 wins. Do you know that 3 wins would get you at least a tie in 2 of the NFL's divisions.
