The New York Jets rank fifth in the NFL against the pass this year. But over the past three seasons, nobody has been better in at least a couple of key statistical categories.
Opposing quarterbacks have compiled a 68 passer rating and completed just 51.9 percent of their passes against the Jets since the start of 2009. Both are league bests.
"They're well coached, and there's a lot of moving parts," Dolphins offensive coordinator Brian Daboll said last week during a brief break in his preparations for Monday night's contest at MetLife Stadium. "They're a challenge to prepare for because of the volume of things they do and the players they have."
Making matters more difficult, of course, is the fact that Matt Moore will be making his first start at quarterback in place of the injured Chad Henne. While he has had two weeks to prepare, Moore, who has never faced the Jets, knows what he's up against.
"There's definitely talented guys over there," he said. "Guys that have been playing in this defense for a while and have that mentality. We need to really understand what's going on, know our game plan. It's going to come down to matchups and winning the situation."
That won't be easy against the Jets' personnel. Three-time Pro Bowl selection Darrelle Revis is at one corner, and Antonio Cromartie, who is just a notch below that level, is at the other. At safeties are leading tackler Eric Smith and Jim Leonhard, who came over with coach Rex Ryan from Baltimore in 2009 and is considered one of the smartest players in the game.
"Their personnel is definitely up there in the top tier," slot receiver Davone Bess said.
"They're talented back there, and they throw a bunch of different looks at you," tight end Anthony Fasano said. "They have a lot of confidence in their skill guys. It's a great defense."
Few coaches in the NFL know Revis better than Daboll. They both joined the Jets in 2007, Daboll as quarterbacks coach and Revis as a rookie out of Pittsburgh.
"Make no mistake about it, he's about as real as they come," Daboll said. "He's the total package at corner."
Statistically, no one is even close. Over the past three years, Revis has been targeted 177 times and given up 62 completions, a 35 percent completion rate. No one else in the NFL is below 44 percent over the same time frame.
One might expect having Revis and Cromartie playing man-to-man against the opponent's top two wideouts would make the rest of the Jets' defensive scheme easier to figure out. Not so, Daboll said.
"It's a difficult scheme to prepare for. He's got two good corners that can play out there on an island and get up in your face, (but) they do a whole bunch of different things with the remaining nine guys."
Fasano and Henne found success with at least one route in last year's game at Sun Life Stadium. Early in the second quarter with the ball at the Jets' 3-yard-line, Fasano ran to the end zone, turned and posted up, using his big frame to shield defenders and score Miami's first TD. But in the final seconds of the game, when they tried the same play trailing 31-23, Henne's throw from the 6 bounced off Fasano's shoulder and was intercepted.
"It was a bang-bang play," Fasano said. "We tried to run the same play from a little further out but didn't time it up at the end. It was kind of what the defense was giving us at the time."
Brandon Marshall, who has vowed to amp up his emotional level this week, had 10 catches for 166 yards and Henne threw for 352 in that game, proving success against the Jets' secondary is possible. But even as Moore works to build chemistry with his receiver group, the Dolphins know they're in for a challenge.
"We know Rex really well, and they have the personnel to make it tough," Bess said. "It's a matter of going out and having the will and the mind-set that we're going to win the game."
