It’s probably a little early to be writing about Dolphins vs Saints tickets. The Saints have yet to play a hugely important game against the New York Giants, a battle of undefeated teams in the NFC. The Miami Dolphins are riding high after an impressive last seconds win against the New York Jets, the best football game I’ve seen during my stint in Korea. But my mind tends to leap ahead, and regardless of the outcome of Giants vs Saints I believe the Dolphins vs Saints matchup presents a hugely important stepping stone for the Saints.
Why? Because the Miami Dolphins seem to once again be jelling. More importantly the Saints defense is still a question mark on this team. I know they’ve put in nothing but solid performances so far this season, scoring 14 points against the Jets and leading the NFL in turnovers. But this Wildcat offense of the Miami Dolphins presents such a unique set of problems it’s bound to test the best NFL defenses and the Saints have yet to prove to me that they are one of the best. Throw in the fact the Dolphins seem to have found a solid NFL quarterback in Chad Henne and you’ve got the makings of one heck of a football team.
I know there’s been some talk about the Dolphins Wildcat offense as being “gimmicky” and my reply to that is “Is it legal?”. The answer is “Yes, it is.” That makes it legitimate in my book. The fact that Ryan and his talented defense couldn’t deal with it only garners more respect from me. New Orleans will have to rise to the occasion more than once this season. This Dolphins vs saints matchup is just one of them.
