juck the Fets.

It's time for a street fight.

It's cool and crisp up here in PA. A wonderful autumn evening awaits. The hot sauce is cooked up for the wings. The beer is sitting chilled in its cooler. Shots of bourbon are awaiting deployment in their bottle.

And my hands are getting harder by the minute.

On tap tonight we have what is essentially a playoff game. Strange that a game so early in the season can have such weighted implications, but alas, the Dolphins dropped a couple of winnable games early on and now need to build on the drubbing they gave Buffalo by beating the piss out of the jets.

This one is very simple.

The Dolphins have the no. 1 rush defense and the no. 1 rushing attack (how that can be and for them to be 1-3 is beyond my understanding).

The jets like to run the ball and they play very solid defense, ranking in the top 5 overall.

Two young QBs, in their fifth and second starts respectively, are behind center. Both teams will try to take away the other's running game and put the ball into the youngsters' hands.

These are two teams that have been feuding since OTAs. The duel of words between Rex Ryan and Channing Crowder have been fueled this last week by Akin Ayodele. Jason Taylor looked like he was going to bite the reporters' heads off this week. He was that stoically angry.

JT has always had a thing for the jets and their shit-for-brains fans.

Joey Porter hates anyone in an opposing jersey and summed up the atmosphere of the Dolphins locker room by stating that everyone is preparing for "an old-fashioned knuckled up fist fight in the parking lot."

Tonight will come down to the pass rush, methinks.

For the jets to win they will first need to stop the NFL's top ground game and keep Taylor, Porter and Wake off of Dirty Sanchez.

For the Phins to win they will need to stop Leon Washington and Thomas Jones (which I am confident will happen) and protect Henne better than they did last week. The running game will open up, perhaps no matter what, but especially if Henne can get involved in this one. If Chad Henne can play like he did last week, converting all those 3rd downs and sprinkle in a long toss or two, well, then I like our boys.

If this one goes well for the Phins then we can all breath a deep sigh of relief. They have all the talent in the world and only last week put it all together.

One thing is for sure, if the Dolphins control the ball like they do every week then Sanchez isn't going to beat them like Rivers and Manning did.

So here's to J-Peezy and company. Street fight on its way.

"How do you make your money, Joey Porter?"

"I knock people down."



juck the Fets, everyone. juck the Fets.
