The Giants might want to steal some speed-limit signs from parking lots and post them along the sidelines Sunday in hopes of tricking the Dolphins’ playmakers into tapping their brakes.
The most difficult part about preparing to face Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane is that there is no way to simulate the quartet’s speed in practice because most teams — the Giants included — don’t have receivers and running backs who run 22 mph with the ball in their hands just languishing on the scout team.
Mostert and Achane do the same out of the backfield, which is why the Dolphins have the NFL’s five fastest ball-carrier speeds this season, according to NextGenStats.“Speed is the most deadly thing,” said Fox analyst Jonathan Vilma, a former Jets linebacker who will be in the booth for the Giants-Dolphins broadcast. “It is an enhancer — or an upgrade pack from a video game — to your quarterback. It makes everything five times better offensively and 10 times harder to defend.
For non-racing experts: A NASCAR automobile accelerates from zero-to-60 mph in 3.4 seconds compared to 2.6 in Formula 1. “Somebody said they scored 70 … and I thought they were joking,” Jackson said of when he first heard the NFL scores on Sept. 24.“Then I go look and I’m like, ‘Oh s–t. The game got lopsided quick.’ Seventy points is unheard of. The ball is going to be in the air, so it gives the defense an opportunity to make plays. That’s the positive. The negative is if you don’t, then 70 points are put up on the board.
