Matchup Miami MUST Exploit On Sunday; Final Injury Report

Big game on Sunday, as the Dolphins will look to get back to .500 for the third time this season in hostile territory.

Chicago is a good team.. at times. I like to think of them as the Dolphins of the NFC. They have talent all over the field, but you just don't know what you're going to get week in and week out, quarter to quarter. 

Put simply, they're inconsistent. Like Miami, they're textbook jekyll and hyde. 

However, they are consistent in one specific area:

Bad blocking. 

Their offensive line has struggled this season, giving up 14 sacks through six games. That's good for 10th worst in the NFL. By comparison, the Dolphins offensive line, which features a rookie right guard and injured left tackle, ranks 10th in the league with 10 sacks.

What does this mean? Well, the Dolphins have a Super Bowl ready defensive line. They've gotten to the QB 14 times this season, good for 8th best in the league. They're also coming off a stellar performance against Green Bay, in which they sacked Aaron Rodgers four times. 

This, to me, is where Miami MUST make plays on Sunday. 

Jay Cutler is no Aaron Rodgers, and it's no secret that, if you put some pressure on him, he'll usually make plays in your favor. If the Dolphins are to win, they'll have to be in the backfield early and often. 

Cam Wake has to have a big day. Olivier Vernon has to have a big day. Randy Starks has to have a big day. Jared Odrick has to have a big day.

The Bears offense is explosive, and if the Miami front seven allow Cutler time, and allows plays to develop, you better believe it's going to be a long day for the Miami defense.

Trench play will either win, or lose, this game for the Dolphins. Bank on it.

FINAL INJURY REPORT 

For the second straight week the Dolphins boast a relatively healthy injury report.

The only players in real jeopardy of missing the game are DB Jimmy Wilson, and C Samson Satele. Both have been dealing with hamstring issues all week, and while I believe Satele will play (he's listed as questionable), Wilson may be in trouble, as he's listed as doubtful for Sunday's game.

In his place expect Jamar Taylor and Will Davis to once again see plenty of playing time.

Other than that everybody is good to go. 

Picks and predictions comin' at ya tomorrow.

Two. Days.
