Game thoughts: week 10 Ravens at Dolphins

Why the heck they didn't keep throwing to TE Andrews over and over...?

Anyway, it was good to see the Phins D play like that, but I don't know if it will work against a team that is EXPECTING to get a blitz 60-70% of the time.

We shall see.

Well, the Ravens all claimed that they knew exactly what he Dolphins D was going to do - they just couldn't stop it. I don't believe that at all, but that's what Jackson, Andrews and others said after the game. Anyway, yes, I was shocked that the Ravens didn't attack the middle of the field with Andrews.

The Ravens D has been awful all season, and it was great to see that the Dolphins coaching staff actually designed a smart gameplan to exploit their weaknesses. They took away Gesicki in the middle of the field, but both Brissett and Tua were able to attack the sidelines and get some nice 'big chunk' plays.

Hopefully this is a game that the Dolphins are able to build on and stack some wins together - but first things first: beat the Jets next week!

yea, i forgot to mention this... i know he got some of those crappie fades thrown in the endzone and had little to no chance of catching the ball, but did it look like Preston Williams wasn't even trying on those plays?

Yep. Preston has barely played this season, but when he does he looks like a dead man walking. If we weren't so thin at WR, I would have cut him by now...his heart clearly isn't in it.
