The Miami Dolphins have 14 sacks on defense this season, which isn’t a lot – except that half of those sacks came Sunday against Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.
The Dolphins still seek their first win this weekend when they travel to New York to face the Giants.
“They were successful in getting there for any number of reasons,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin told the media Wednesday regarding Miami's defensive showing Sunday. “Of course it’s a first time start for a young quarterback. You know they’re coming. That’s just the nature of the game.”
Coughlin also elaborated on where – and whom – Miami generates its pressure from.
“(Cameron) Wake is a good pass rusher with five sacks,” he said. “Of course (Jason) Taylor historically is physical. (Karlos) Dansby is physical at the mike backer. Their safeties – (Yeremiah) Bell coming out of the secondary, he is a very physical player. They’ll look to get (Reshad) Jones back and have two physical players in that safety spot.”
The Giants have been so-so in pass protection this season, giving up 14 sacks in seven games.
