| |  | NY JETS: After a disastrous year in Tony Sparano's 'ground and pound' offense, the Jets have turned to new offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, more of a finesse guy and closer to former OC Brian Schottenheimer. They'll use more zone blocking, and power runner Chris Ivory will probably take the bulk of the carries. Mike Goodson, who has flashed in a part-time role, fits nicely into this scheme. So does back-up Bilal Powell, though he could end up on the outside looking in. Joe McKnight will likely continue to be a utility player.
Mornhinweg is a West Coast guy. His biggest challenge will be finding some kind of rhythm for his quarterback, whether it is Geno Smith or Mark Sanchez. If nothing else, they both have the feet to run this offense. But the Jets lack any sort of true catch-and-run threat. Santonio Holmes is the best in a weak group of receivers. Stephen Hill is strictly a field-stretcher at this point, as is TE Jeff Cumberland. Jeremy Kerley will likely be leaned on more heavily, and Mike Goodson should be involved in the screen game. Mornhinweg has always skewed pass-heavy near the goal line, using a lot of play-action and rollouts. Ivory should take all red zone and goal line reps. But the Jets might be quick to abandon the run down here.
The Jets have given up an increased amount of points and yards in each of the past three seasons, and their No. 2-rated pass defense lost CB Darrelle Revis, S Yeremiah Bell and S LaRon Landry. Star CB Antonio Cromartie remains for new defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman, and rookie CB Dee Milliner and SS Dawan Landry will help too. In terms of the front seven, head coach Rex Ryan will help oversee a defense that should be much more aggressive with its blitz packages with monstrous second-year OLB Quinton Coples. | | MIAMI: More than last season, this year's Miami offense figures to more closely resemble the one head coach Joe Philbin was a part of in Green Bay. Expect a lot more running out of spread looks, as the Dolphins have the personnel to line up three- and four-wide and let speedy slasher Lamar Miller stick his foot in the ground and get upfield. Miller is set to get a true No. 1 workload behind a zone-blocking line. Daniel Thomas is the No. 2 but spends a lot of time in the doghouse.
The Dolphins are largely a West Coast offense, but they'll be able to stretch the field more this season. Both Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline are capable of big plays downfield, and Wallace will be used often as a catch-and-run threat as well. TE Dustin Keller will play a lot of reps and should be their primary target in the middle of the field. Brandon Gibson figures to return to strictly slot duties, as his skill set is similar to that of the departed Davone Bess. The Dolphins use their backs as receivers often, and both Miller and Thomas are capable receivers. The Dolphins figure to remain relatively run-heavy in the red zone, especially after losing top red zone target Anthony Fasano.
The Dolphins finished seventh in scoring defense despite not forcing a turnover in seven of their final nine games. They moved up to draft DE Dion Jordan to line up opposite star DE Cameron Wake (15 sacks), and are banking on both CBs Brent Grimes (Achilles) and Richard Marshall (back) to be injury-free. Miami released ILBs Karlos Dansby and Kevin Burnett, and spent big on MLB Dannell Ellerbe (92 tackles, 69 solos with Ravens), giving him to a 5-year, $35M deal, and then grabbed SLB Philip Wheeler (109 tackles, 78 solos with Raiders) and inked him to $26M over five years. |

*Jets-Dolphins Preview* =======================
By CHRIS ALTRUDA STATS Editor
Few could have envisioned the Miami Dolphins having a chance to play in the postseason during the firestorm of media attention afforded the Jonathan Martin-Richie Incognito bullying scandal.
The New York Jets, meanwhile, may be preparing for a future without Rex Ryan as they miss the playoffs for a third straight season.
The AFC East rivals close out the season Sunday in Miami, where the Dolphins need a win and some help to end a five-year playoff drought.
Miami (8-7) put aside one of the biggest subplots in the league this year after its season nadir, a 22-19 loss to previously winless Tampa Bay on Nov. 11.
The Dolphins won four of five after that defeat but came completely undone last Sunday with a chance to help themselves. Losing 19-0 at Buffalo, they amassed only 14 rushing yards and 103 overall while allowing a season-high 203 on the ground in their worst performance of the year.
"That's the worst part - we had everything in front of us," safety Jimmy Wilson said. "We knew how important that game was, and to drop it like that without getting points or making impact plays or giving ourselves a chance to win is a big letdown. We just have to get ready for a home game and go ahead and finish our season the right way."
The running game - or lack thereof - may make or break the Dolphins. Losing both Martin and Incognito decimated the depth of the offensive line, and Miami has rushed for 22 or fewer yards on five occasions.
The Dolphins ran the ball only 12 times versus the Bills, and while they did gain 125 on the ground in a 23-3 road victory over the Jets on Dec. 1, offensive coordinator Mike Sherman has yet to fully trust his backs and give them the ball on a consistent basis.
"Of those 12 carries, our longest run was 3 yards," Sherman said as he prepares to face a Jets run defense that yields a league-low 3.3 yards per carry. "A lack of productivity in the run game caused me to veer off into another direction."
The lack of a ground game has at times hindered quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who was battered at Buffalo, absorbing seven of Miami's league-high 58 sacks allowed.
With another solid performance against the Jets - he threw for two TDs and a season-high 331 yards Dec. 1 - Tannehill could give Miami a chance at its first playoff appearance since 2008.
"We have to play our best game of the year. It's a great way for us to finish the regular season," coach Joe Philbin said. "We've got a great opportunity."
The two simplest scenarios for the Dolphins to clinch a berth are a victory and a loss or tie by Baltimore or a victory coupled with a win by San Diego.
While everything is on the line for the Dolphins, about the only known thing at stake for the Jets (7-8) is the uncertain future of their coach.
Some could argue Ryan is performing one of his best coaching jobs this season - trying to keep the team competitive with rookie quarterback Geno Smith learning on the fly - but it remains to be seen if owner Woody Johnson and first-year general manager John Idzik will bring him back for a sixth season.
If it were up to the players, though, it wouldn't be an issue.
"It's just one of those things where he really cares about his players," said David Nelson, who caught two TD passes in last Sunday's 24-13 win over Cleveland. "Players appreciate that. Players know and they respect him for that. They believe in him and they respect him and they play hard for him.
"I think it's just the mutual respect he gives his players."
Though some of Smith's numbers - most notably his 21 interceptions and 55.3 completion percentage - are unsightly, he has set a rookie franchise record with 2,856 passing yards and is second among all quarterbacks with five rushing TDs after his 17-yard scoring dash versus the Browns.
Smith's four TD tosses over the last three games are four more than his previous five games combined, and he has thrown only two INTs in 89 passes while helping New York win two of three.
"He needs his time, and I think it's unfair for anybody to step out and say, `Oh, this kid is not having a great year. Let's look for a new one,'" guard Willie Colon said.
"Every player needs time to develop. It's up to us as a team to get better, up to us as a line to do a better job and let the kid grow up. And, I think he's doing that."
Smith, who was just 4 of 10 for 29 yards and an interception in the loss to Miami, has rushed for 142 yards and two TDs in his last three games.
The Dolphins have won six of the last nine between the teams and are seeking their first season sweep since 2009. The Jets, though, have won six of their last eight in Miami, and the last six games there have been decided by a combined 23 points.
