    SAINTS (5-0) AT DOLPHINS (2-3)

    Kickoff: 3:15 p.m. at Land Shark Stadium

    Coaches: Saints Sean Payton (30-23 in four seasons, all with Saints); Dolphins Tony Sparano (13-8 in two seasons, both with Miami)

    Radio: 870-AM, 105.3-FM and 830-AM (Spanish broadcast)

    KEEP AN EYE ON

    Jeremy Shockey

    The Saints' tight end is probably even more pumped up about this matchup than he was for last week's reunion with the New York Giants. Miami's defense has been absolutely torched by some of the top tight ends in the league. Tony Gonzalez caught five passes for 73 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. Dallas Clark went off for 183 yards and a touchdown on seven catches in Week 2. And Antonio Gates caught five balls for 64 yards in Week 3.

    New Dolphins safety Gibril Wilson has particularly struggled in those matchups, though the entire secondary has been inconsistent. It's hard to imagine they'll be able to match up against all of the Saints' weapons, and Shockey could be among the biggest beneficiaries.

    Plus, the former University of Miami star will feel right at home in Miami, where he spends most of his time in the offseason.
