DE Jared Odrick vs. LT Branden Albert

During Jared Odrick’s last two seasons with the Dolphins, he was an interior lineman who specialized in getting to the quarterback. 

In Jacksonville, Odrick has been kicked back outside, although it is a 4-3 defense (Odrick works better as a 3-4 lineman), he still inspires fear. 

Branden Albert will be in charge of Odrick on Sunday, as Odrick is on Jacksonville’s right side. Albert, still not at 100 percent, will have to contain a player who did disappoint in his first game as a Jaguar by not getting to the quarterback and grading out at minus-4.1. 

Despite that, the Jaguars’ pass rush is an aggressive one that should bombard quarterback Ryan Tannehill throughout the afternoon. 

LG Brandon Linder vs. DT Ndamukong Suh

When asked how he played on Sunday, Ndamukong Suh had one word to describe it. 

“Poor,” said the veteran defensive tackle, per Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald. 

Suh is partially right, as he was not the impactful player Miami signed on Sunday, but he also brought up that, “it’s over with. I’m moving forward to Jacksonville.”

Against Jacksonville his assignment is second-year player Brandon Linder out of The U. Linder played well on Sunday against Carolina, grading out at 1.3, per Pro Football Focus. His grade in run blocking was 2.2 as the Jaguars were able to run the ball for 96 yards on 21 attempts for an average of 4.6 yards per carry. 

Miami’s defense allowed Washington to run for 161 yards, however it was for a lower average (4.4 yards per carry) and on more attempts. The Jaguars also run a different scheme than Washington, using a more straight-ahead power run blocking scheme compared to Washington’s zone blocking scheme. 

This should mean better success against the run, which puts the ball into Blake Bortles’ hands. That’s where Miami’s defense should really shine. Suh especially against Linder, who graded out at minus-0.6 in pass blocking situations while allowing three quarterback hurries. 

WR Allen Hurns vs. CB Brice McCain

Jacksonville’s passing game was anemic against Carolina, as Bortles only passed for 183 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while being sacked five times. 

His top receiver was former Hurricane Allen Hurns, who brought down five catches for 60 yards. Hurns will go up against each of Miami’s corners, but will see Brice McCain the most. McCain came down with the play of the week in Week 1, but beyond that play he was solid. 

McCain graded out at 1.4 against the pass, per Pro Football Focus, and allowed a quarterback rating of 76.0 when the ball was thrown his way. Through one game he looks like the type of corner Miami has needed to play alongside Brent Grimes.
