Which games, plays, or players brought a smile to your face over the past year? I'll start with two wins vs the Jets. Polite in short yardage, and many of his blocks. Wake "introducing" himself to QB's, and the NFL. Your choices?
The kids Chad Henne( not a rookie but still a kid) Brian Hartline Vontae Davis Shawn Smith I thought Vontae Davis was exceptional for a rookie the effort on the pick that didnt happen last week was phenomenal i know Vontae can hit but to see him make a play on the ball like that oh boy was that sweet
Good thread idea. Here are my top 10 moments of 2009: 1. Realizing that Jake Long was the right pick in 2008. It took me a while, but I believe it now. He's better than Ryan Clady and he's better than Matt Ryan. 2. Realizing that Henne has the potential to be the man. 3. The Saints game before the fumble at the end of the half. I watched that game here at a sportsbar in New Orleans. I was giddy with excitement. 4. The Ted Ginn TD vs the jets. A thing of beauty. 5. Being able to attend two games this year (Buffalo and NE) and coming out with two wins. 6. Having bragging rights that we swept the jets. 7. Watching Vontae Davis develop as a top-flight CB. 8. The final minutes of the NE game. Great to kill Tommy Brady. 9. The fact that we effectively shut down the run all season long. 10. The Wildcat. Every time we ran the Wildcat, I sat forward on my bar stool. Every time I saw Ronnie get that direct snap, I knew we could score on that play. I really hadn't felt that way since Danny was in the shotgun.
"ALL THE YOUNG DUDES" were impressive to me. Davis was next on my list for the "altitude of attitude." He is gonna be special. Also agree on Henne. Taking tihs rag-time group of receivers to 4th quarter comebacks was special as well.
#5- We need to chip in and bring you to more games. I would add the Indy game. I know we lost but, DAMN did we wreak havoc with the WC. I have NEVER seen anything like it.
My favorite play from 2009... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyPtJF-IgPc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyPtJF-IgPc[/ame] Perfect in all reagrds. Henne's throw, Ginn's route, the pass protection. My favorite game of the year too. Boy did it feel good to beat the Jets and rough up their defense on a Monday night with the world watching. I want you all to take a good look at Rex Ryan's reaction too. Priceless.
The camrillo catch off of his legs in the first game of the year, the monday night game against the colts(even though we lost) was absolutely electric, the win against tampa after almost blowing it and the win against NE were all big in my mind this season.
vontae whiffing on a tackle and shockey making a fool out of gerbil sam aiken's td catch against sean smith peyton manning making the dolphins d look foolish moss stiff arming vontae to the ground and going 80 ronnie browns fumble at the 2 @ sd ryan fitzpatrick running for a 30+ yard td t.o. burning vontae to ice the game. oh he pushed off right. sure.. gerbils dropped int against houston anytime pat white enters a game i'll leave 10 open because there is sure to be a great big ben highlight this week..
1.The development of Chad Henne. I like what I say out of him and feel comfortable he can move the ball and make good throws. He is getting out his mistakes now and I can see a bright future. 2.The rookie corners coming into their own. I also liked what I saw from the corners,decent play for rookies. I especially like Vontae's aggressiveness for the ball. 3.Ted Ginn vs the Jets,the first game catch and during the second game the two returns. 4. The second Patriots game,the ability out team had to mount a comeback and show they can climb back in when down. 5.Camarillo continuing to make good catches and being a dependable guy I will add more later if I think of them
i think that was the highlight of the season right there. that is the type of play everyone has been dying for since we knew we were stuck with ginn, and henne would start. its just a shame that we were only able to pull it off once the hole season.
Hartlines take away catch. Ginn burn the Jets. Ginns two returns for TDS.(In one game) Yelling Polite every time we had 3rd and 2 or less. Sweeping the Jets. Watching Ricky show he still can make it happen. Getting a year where every time the offence came on the field it was exciting never dull. Wake -- Taylor returning Depth And as killer said the kids. I better stop to keep it short.
Lou Polite. or should I say, Mr. first down! On 3rd or 4th and 1... the man is money. And watching him block brings a smile to my face. Like when he put Bart Snott on his ***!!
I would say Henne broke out in the 4th quarter against the Jets in the Monday night game. I've said it before and I'll say it again, he displayed everything you want in a franchise QB there. He made all the throws, showed great leadership, proved he thrives in pressure situations. That game winning drive was a thing of beauty.
LMAO he is definitely a troll. I just skimmed through his posts and every single one is bashing the Dolphins in some way.
Lot of good moments from this season, my favorite play though was against the Panthers on Thursday Night Football. It was my first Miami game in person and I watched on 3rd and 12 as Henne rolled out, avoided the pressure, and threw to Bess coming across the field. Not the most important play of the season, but a big first down in that game and I saw it while sitting on the edge of my seat. Future is bright, Chad. Play is at 3:19 in the video.
