    O/T: Michael Phelps just one the 1st of his gold medal march.

    A false start on a punt with 2:00 left in the 4th quarter on a punt? Awful.

    The penalties have turned this into a pretty poor performance from the Dolphins for me.

    I told you this kid is a baller, will do what he can. Too bad the passes to him suck.

    Hopefully, in the next game he will get more playing time.
    3rec/17yards tonight.

    Other than Ricky, I'd say there is nothing to be happy about tonight.

    QBs, bad. Oline and WRs horrible.

    DL, avg. LB, below Avg, DBs horrible.

    STs, other than the FG kicker, not good.

    Alot of penalties. Very poor performance from a very UNTALENTED football team.

    You seem to stand amid a very small group my friend. There is at least one member of the only undefeated team in the NFL who is impressed by Henne.

    Honestly, what are you talking about? The offensive line was not that bad. The WR backups yes the starters no.

    I won't even bother..

    Chad Henne was pretty impressive. 5 of 10... 67 yards.. 2 of which were drops by wilford, and one that he threw out of bounds under pressure. he had great poise in the pocket, stepped up and made a nice throw, threw accurately, and took some shots in order to complete some passes... i'd say thats something to be happy about.

    I thought QB's looked good. Beck made some nice throws and other then the fumble, he looked good. Henne played well despite it being second stringers. He showed that he can handle the pressure by the pass rush. The DB's didn't play bad. A lot of the passes were underneath for 4 or 5 yards, some to RB's and to crossing WR's.

    I agree with you that the penalties were terrible though.

    I didn't see anything wrong with him. I'm not sure about others opinion but I didn't see anything bad. He made nice throws. He got one pass batted down but that was because the defensive linemen was in his face. He had a ball that he dropped after getting tripped up but fell right on it.

    Why wasn't Feely out there?

    For those of us who weren't able to watch the game, was it as bad as the scored looked?

    After tonight... its clear... that our D needs work. we need to be able to stop those short passes.

    Our starting O-line... it seems like they played very well. Ronnie got some action to hopefully get him on track again, Ricky did well.

    Our Qb's, beck sounded like he did okay, aside from the fumble. Henne seemed to be very impressive. McCown didnt do much, not that he had much to work with though near the end.

    What id like to see next week...

    Henne have some time with the first team. Starting the game. If he was as impressive as the announcers though with the 2nd stringers, Id love to see him with the first... against a first team D.

    More ronnie brown. Get him back in there, let him take some hits and get his confidence up even more.

    seems like they marched down the field but against our 2nd string/3rd string d........

    either way doesn't look like our depth is all that good. JMO though.

    Feely has a hamstring problem i believe...
    Sounds like people are really high on this Carpenter kid though. Jay may want to be worried.

    I dont think it was that bad. Our first team seemed pretty decent when they were on the field. The o-line was good to start, Beck was ok, Henne was Good (the stats lie due to a few drops), Ronnie got some hits on him, Ricky was pretty damn impressive. The first team D seemed to do okay in there. Merling and Langford got mentioned alot while on the field.

    Personally i think, sure we lost. But theres definately improvement on this team. The depth is a big concern it seems though...

    The most depressing stat of the entire game that puts a downer on things for me 9-60. 9 penalties for 60 yards.

    I'm gonna watch the game whenever everyone else does on NFLN, then I can tell.

    Feely has a leg injury, I want to say quad but I don't want to give you the wrong diagnosis.

    Quick summary:

    A lot of the passes were underneath for 4-5 yards which enabled them to continously get first downs, that led to long drives. I thought the first team offense looked pretty good. Hagan made a couple plays, Ginn had a sideline catch. Ronnie got stuffed a couple times but then returned with a 5 or 6 yard gain on his next carry. Ricky looked very good tonight, looking for contact and running through arm tackles. Overall, RB's were looking good and the OL didn't do a bad job. Henne played well against the 2nd and 3rd stringers. He showed good toughness and avoiding the pass rush. Beck looked good against the #2 defense in the league last year. He got tripped up on one play which caused him to lose the ball but he fell right on it and aside from that, he made nice throws. Overall, looked good.

    Defensive secondary looked good to me. We played a mix of 34 and 43 on defense. Little pass rush, linebackers weren't overly impressive. Again, a lot of dink and dunk passes by the Bucs for 4-5 yard gains. NT Ferguson looked good out there, getting a sack on the first play I believe it was.

    INJURIES:

    Charlie Anderson went down, looked like his hamstring. No word on him.

    There were a couple others who I can't recall right now.

    I agree bro... just like last year. Stupid penalties, killed a couple of our drives this year. I was very disappointed with that. First preseason game... sure. Hopefully our coaches get this under control though. Alot of them seemed to come with the backups in there too though. The first team seemed to do okay in the penalties department though.

    Thanks to everyone who took part in ThePhins.com first official game thread. We surpassed the next best Dolphins fan site in posts, views and members online and our servers handled the load without a glitch.

    This bodes well for our future and we have all of you to thank for our success.
