Jets look to right the ship against the Dolphins

Home has never felt so sweet to the New York Jets, whose 2-0 start was spoiled by a three-game swing to Oakland, Baltimore and New England.

Three losses later, with captain Santonio Holmes nearly inspiring a mutiny by calling out his team’s offensive line, the Jets return to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Monday night to meet winless AFC East division rival Miami.

“Each team is going to have to deal with adversity,” Coach Rex Ryan said last week. “This is our opportunity.”

Beating the Dolphins could merely be a bandage for the Jets.

Miami (0-4) lost starting quarterback Chad Henne to injury two weeks ago at San Diego, and replacement Matt Moore threw an interception, finishing 17 of 26 for 167 yards.

The Dolphins have a coach in Tony Sparano who made news in the open week by learning he would not be fired during it.

Sparano’s team ranks next to last in the NFL in passing yards given up (307). Reggie Bush hasn’t boosted the run game as expected and wide receiver Brandon Marshall has told reporters he plans to get ejected during the first half.

Sparano is trying to paint a positive picture.

“All I know is what I see out on the practice field right now. … I really like their look,” Sparano said last week.

Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez (eight touchdowns, five interceptions) isn’t getting support from the league’s second-worst run game, and is in the middle of the Holmes-offensive line fray.

“[Holmes] obviously [has] the green light to evaluate every position on the team,” guard Brandon Moore said. “I just didn’t think captaincy entailed that. I’ve never seen a captain do that. That’s not leading. It actually fragments the locker room. It’s not productive.”
