""They're schematically different," noted McDaniel, who had a longstanding relationship with ex-Jets coach Robert Saleh from their time together with the San Francisco 49ers. "Coach Aaron Glenn, I have the utmost respect for him, and he sees football differently than the last regime. So they emphasize different things. There are some overlapping players, and the uniforms, most of the time, are the same.""
"The Jets nearly came back from down, 23-6, against the undefeated Buccaneers in Tampa on Sunday. They briefly took a lead off a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown, but Bucs kicker Chase McLaughlin nailed a 36-yard field goal to win it as time expired. "They had a game where a lot of teams might've tapped," McDaniel said. "They sure didn't. Had a heartbreaker. They'll be a new team with a new energy, which makes them very different as an opposing team for us.""
Both teams hold 0-3 records entering Monday Night, but franchise circumstances differ. Miami is struggling early in coach Mike McDaniel's fourth season yet found positives from a short-week loss at Buffalo. New York is pursuing an upstart identity in Aaron Glenn's first year after his move from Detroit, emphasizing different schematic priorities than the prior regime. The Dolphins will unveil dark-blue alternate Rivalries uniforms and may activate tight end Darren Waller, who came out of retirement but missed the first three games with a hip injury. The Jets nearly rallied against the Buccaneers, briefly taking the lead before a last-second 36-yard field goal decided the game.
