Pros
- The New York Jets have called the 5th-most plays in the NFL this year, averaging a monstrous 69.5 plays per game.
- The New York Jets have gone up against a stacked the box on a mere 13.6% of their plays since the start of last season, 9th-least in football. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
- The New York Jets have gone for it on 4th down 22.0% of the time since the start of last season (10th-most in the NFL), which typically means more offensive volume, more touchdown potential, and higher offensive metrics across the board.
- The New York Jets have utilized some form of misdirection on 57.6% of their plays since the start of last season (3rd-most in football), which usually keeps the defense guessing and improves offensive efficiency.
Cons
- The Jets are a 3.5-point underdog in this week’s contest, indicating a passing game script.
- THE BLITZ projects the Jets to call the 11th-least plays on offense on the slate this week with 64.2 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
- The New York Jets O-line grades out as the 9th-worst in football this year at blocking for the run game.
- Opposing offenses have rushed for the 10th-least yards in football (just 106 per game) versus the Miami Dolphins defense this year.
- The Miami Dolphins defensive ends rank as the best DE corps in the NFL this year when it comes to stopping the run.
