Marcel Louis-Jacques

And here's the other thing, too.

You know, I asked Marcel this.

I'll ask you this.

What if this team comes out flat again offensively? All right.

And he runs out at 13 yards and doesn't even stretch the ball out.

Then that long run he has later, but he's got guys downfield blocking for him and he slides, bro.

You know what I asked to Marcel? I said this to Marcel.

You think Josh Allen slides on that?

Apparently, some interesting notes came out of the Miami Dolphins bye week.

We touch on that on the other side with Marcel Louis-Jacques.

That is Colin Russo.

I'm Theo Dorsey.

Who knows? Who knows? But you know him here on Theoretically Speaking on Fridays.

He covers the Miami Dolphins for ESPN.com and NFL Nation.

He is Marcel Louis-Jacques, and he's headed to the Meadowlands this weekend.

Absolutely.

On this episode of the Finside Report with myself and Marcel Louis-Jacques, the Dolphins are back off the bye week.

It's a rivalry week.

And does this game and this week mean more to this franchise than people think? We're going to talk about it all.

Go ahead and subscribe if you are new.

As always, anytime, let's get into this.

Welcome to the Finside Report with Marcel Louis-Jacques and Reasoner.

What is good, Finn Nation? What's good? It's your boy Reason, and we are back here for another one.

I appreciate each and every one of you coming through.

Or you can hit us up on YouTube or on ESPN South Florida's, uh, Instagram page.

On the other side, Marcel Louis-Jacques joins us right here on Theoretically Speaking.

That is Kyle and I'm Theo.

We're Theoretically Speaking on ESPN 1063.

Of course, you got the Tennessee Titans, not so shocking.

And then your Miami Dolphins right here in our backyard.

Joining us now is Marcel Louis-Jacques.

He co- he covers those Miami Dolphins, uh, for ESPN's NFL Nation.

The, the real question mark is how are the Dolphins gonna move the football against this Bengals team? We're so used to them being an offensive team.

And I was reading, uh, on ESPN, Marcel Louis-Jacques had written that Cincinnati owns the third highest sacks per drop back rate in the NFL.

So, like, they're getting to the quarterback, and we know that's been an issue for Malik Willis, trying to stay upright and trying to protect him and, and, and getting through his progressions.

Like, I don't know.

It is what it is.

Marcel Louis-Jacques joining us here on a football Friday, on a feel-good Friday ahead of a weekend where the Miami Dolphins, currently winless, are playing host with, to the, uh, Cincinnati Bengals, who might be starless, uh, a- at, at the Rock.

Uh, what's the latest? What's the latest on whether or not Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins will be suiting up with the Bengals, uh, come Sunday?

Yeah, I, I don't think Tee Higgins is still practicing.

So, uh, I don't necessarily expect him to play this week, but I think that week seven game against the Jets up in New Jersey, I think that's a more realistic target.

Marcel Louis-Jacques joining us here from ESPN's NFL Nation.

He covers the Dolphins.

And then finally, for the power rankings in the NFL, ESPN has the Dolphins at 32 out of 32 as well.

Marcel-Louis Jacques writes, Through the first two weeks of the season, the Dolphins looked like they weren't ready to compete.

In weeks three and four, however, their defense pushed a pair of undefeated division leaders to the brink.

On Sunday, the Dolphins last Sunday recorded 17 pressures and four sacks, their first sacks of the season, while holding an admittedly struggling Minnesota offense.
