Over the course of Joe Flacco's illustrious NFL career, the veteran quarterback has faced the Dolphins seven times.In fact, he's had quite a bit of succe s against Miami. In a Ravens uniform, Flacco was 6-0 Kyle Connor Jersey against the Dolphins in the regular season.So, as Flacco prepares to looking to lead the 2-7 Jets to their first victory in November, New York's backup quarterback should be in a good spot, right?Not so fast. Keith Tkachuk Jersey Flacco's one lo s against the Dolphins came last year in a Jets uniform and boy was it ugly.The veteran signal-caller completed just 21 of his 44 pa s attempts for a total of 186 yards. Mix in one interception, no touchdowns and three sacks and the Jets had one of their worst lo ses in the 2020 season, falling 24-0 on the road.Jets head coach Robert Shawn Matthias Jersey Saleh isn't concerned about what happened last October, though. He picked Flacco to start this week because of his experience and ability to counter Miami's unique defensive scheme. Besides, teams change every year and this matchup looks completely different 13 months later."Last year is irrelevant," Saleh told reporters this week. "Completely different o-line, different receivers, different coach, Tyler Myers Jersey different coordinator, different everything. Joes proven in this league, hes played in the AFC North and he knows exactly what hes looking at. Hes trained for this his whole life. Again, hes a very steadying force, player, in terms of just his experience and knowledge and being able to get the ball to his playmakers."Flacco spoke eloquently earlier in the week about how he's balancing his desire to make plays, showing he still has production Dale Hawerchuk Jersey left in the tank while sticking to New York's game plan and executing the offense.Scroll to ContinueEven if he wanted to camp out in the pocket and launch deep ball after deep ball, he wouldn't be able to against this Dolphins defense."Theyre not afraid to go put everybody at the line of scrimmage and leave what Im sure they feel Jack Roslovic Jersey like is the strength of their defense, their secondary, out on islands and know that theyre going to get some pre sure on the quarterbacks and the guys going to have to get the ball out of his hands quickly," Flacco explained. "So, it limits your offense to a certain extent, and it forces you to kind of make a guy mi s or get the ball out of your hands quick and make sure youre on top of everything, all the little details in your offense."READ: The good news is that New Jansen Harkins Jersey York has had some succe s in recent weeks sticking to checkdowns and moving the chains while taking what the defense gives you. That's exactly how backup Mike White made magic during his first two starts. Considering the fact that Miami Logan Stanley Jersey loves to send pre sure and trust in their defensive backs to hold it down in the secondary, short routes to slot receivers and running backs in the flat will more than likely be Flacco's best friend on Sunday.That's another reason why Saleh has faith in Flacco, believing wholeheartedly that this showdown will have a different result than last year's ma sacre in Miami."Joe has got the ability to proce s and get the ball in-and-out of his hands as quickly as po sible," Bryan Little Jersey Saleh said. "I have a lot of faith in Mike LaFleur and his ability to game plan with his staff and put players in position where Alexander Burmistrov Jersey theres space to be had. But, again, it goes back to Joes experience and recognizing coverages pre-snap and knowing exactly where the ball needs to get as quickly as po sible to, one, avoid hits, but, two, get the ball where it needs to go in space."MORE:
