Adam Gase: I’m never going to go away from Jay Ajayi

Maccagnan may well be feeling the pressure to make the right choice at quarterback, and to do so he needs as much information as possible as soon as possible.

While Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was returning a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown against the New York Jets on Sunday, he had a special cheerleader on the sidelines. A team official said their absences at the start weren’t injury-related, but declined to say whether they were for disciplinary reasons.

It was another hard week for the New York Jets, as after two straight wins, they lost 27-23 to the Miami Dolphins. It came on a rekick after the Jets had been offsides. Plus, I just don’t trust the Dolphins.

“I don’t know”, Bowles said. Tannehill also threw a TD pass in the win and went 17-28 for 149 yards.

“It’s amusing, because this is my 10th year in the league, and when I was coming up, the only people that played as rookies were first- and second-rounders”, Dolphins veteran guard Jermon Bushrod said.

There was just one problem for Miami: Grant was exhausted. “I was trying to beat him to the end zone”.

“I owed him one point blank”, Drake said. “It’s my job to make sure our best player on offense is getting the ball”.

The linebackers did a nice job against the run, considering Dolphins RB Ajayi had posted consecutive 200+ yard rushing games. He has 68 yards rushing and a touchdown.

The 2014 sixth-round draft pick out of Nebraska leads NY with 36 receptions for 502 yards and three touchdowns, including a 57-yarder last week in which he ran through four tackles to get into the end zone.

NY came back on its next drive and got a 31-yard touchdown run by Matt Forte.

“It was definitely a physical game”, defensive end Andre Branch.

“I’m never going to go away from him”, Gase said, referring to Ajayi. NY allowed just 3.3 yards-per-attempt heading into their game with the Miami Dolphins.

The first came after a 56-yard drive that was highlighted by two 12-yard runs by Ajayi.

Bowles’ team has apparently gotten old very quickly with several over-30 types who may not be back next year, including Fitzpatrick.

PLAYOFF PICTURE: The Jets fell five games behind AFC East leader New England (7-1) in the loss column, and while they still have two games to play against the Patriots, postseason hopes are fading fast.

This was a game the other Dolphins would have lost. Petty did complete two passes on two attempts, but Fitzpatrick would end up coming back in the game. The Jets star receiver totaled only 45 yards on six receptions, and said his matchup against Maxwell wasn’t fair. The Jets started at their own 25 yard line and drove down the field. The drive ended with a 31-yard run by Forté. Gang Green racked up 35 yards worth of penalties to keep Ryan Tannehill and Co. on the field.

Marshall was also upset about the lack of productivity by the Jets, who squandered numerous chances and were hurt by two Fitzpatrick interceptions. But due to an off-sides penalty on the Jets, New York was forced to kick off again.

“That’s NFL football for you”, Jones said. You’re really just blowing hot air. We’ve been able to get a few wins. “Now we’re 4-4 and on to Cali”.
