5 players the Patriots need to play well to beat the Dolphins
Matt Judon
It’s no secret that Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was inconsistent in 2020. While he now has new weapons at his disposal, we still need to see more from the second year quarterback.
The Patriots signed Matt Judon from Baltimore this offseason to wreak havoc on the opposing offensive line. He did it almost as well as anyone while with the Ravens, and the Patriots are paying him a lot of money to do it in Foxboro.
Not only is Judon incredibly talented, but the fact that the Dolphins offensive line has a ton of questions surrounding them will play into the hand of Judon and the Patriots pass rush and their new signee.
Judon getting to Tua will fluster the young quarterback, meaning he will make mistakes and open up opportunities for New England to capitalize on. We know that New England, when at full strength, can do some damage defensively.
What Belichick does better than anyone is finding a team’s weakness and exploiting it. The Dolphins offensive line is their achilles heel. If they can’t keep Judon off Tua’s back, then it’ll be a solid day at the office for New England that should end in a win.
