WHO TO PICK ON: The Miami Dolphins Are YOUNG and VULNERABLE

Our second topic, we'll talk about an offensive guard I think the Vikings can attack, but first we look on defense to where the weakest links might be for the Miami Dolphins, who are 0-3.

Defense hasn't been completely atrocious, certainly not against the Chiefs in that difficult game.

Certainly not atrocious against Vegas either.

San Francisco got them pretty good in week two.

I'm circling Jason Marshall Jr., and I think I could have circled Chris Johnson, the rookie corner that they're using.

This is a super young defense.

They've got young pieces all over the place, and, and hey, the Dolphins might have something good in a couple years, because there is a lot of young talent, and they had a huge draft class.

And Jason Marshall Jr. is just another one of their many players where they said, "All right.

We haven't really seen it yet from you, but trial by fire.

You're gonna go out and do this." Fifth round pick last year.

I mean, if you're a fifth round corner in the NFL, the odds of you actually starting at corner at some point, probably not that good.

He played 243 snaps last year, mostly in the slot, and struggled, as you might expect a fifth round rookie to do.

Now they've moved him outside, and that's probably a more natural fit anyway.

He's 6'2", 200 pounds.

He's 24 years old, and he's got decent size and, and good tackling ability.

But that still feels like a vulnerable area for the Dolphins.

Uh, so far this year, he's given up nine receptions when targeted 10 times, given up a couple touchdowns.

And if Jefferson plays, that's an obvious mismatch, and it would be an obvious mismatch if Jefferson was against Chris Johnson also.

It's not a deep secondary for the Dolphins.

Uh, Jordan Addison was cooking last Sunday.

If Jordan Addison is paired up against Jason Marshall Jr., I like Addison's speed.

Now, where I think this becomes a little less advantageous for the Vikings is if Jefferson does not play, they save him for the Saints game or they save him until the bye, and you've got Jauan Jennings against Jason Marshall Jr.

Now, Jennings is not a separator.

Did another video about this where he, he last year was the eighth worst separating wide receiver in the NFL.

He did not have good speed coming out, and that, that-- we could be seeing some of that at play where he's just not able to get open as easily without Jefferson on the field.
