Alright. We're sitting at 0-3. Pretty dismal. Fasano, Ginn, and Camarillo have all disappeared. Our pass rush is weak and our secondary can be exploited. Then the bills come to town & VD among others step up. 1-3. Then we don what I will now almost certainly call the "magical orange uniforms" for MNF against the hated Jets. Our QB is in his second start of the game. We've got a "weak" WR corps. Possibly the "weakest" in the league. We're #1 in rush defense and #1 in rush offense. And teams know it. What do you have to do to stop the Miami Dolphins? Stop the run game. They can't pass. Certainly not with a rookie QB in his second start. Not only do we run the ball well (there was a post by Stitches somewhere with the #'s), but Chad Henne made some INCREDIBLE clutch throws out there. Why is there still hope? We're 2-0 in the division and 1 game back in the AFCE. As Henne himself said "We take care of the division first". The cardinals won their division last year.. they were abysmal elsewhere, but it got them to the super bowl. I doubt that will be the last time we see Ginn hit in stride like that from Henne. Fasano showed up. Camarillo showed up. Bess was there... like usual. Hey we know Miami is going to run. You know what that doesn't matter. Run, Run, Run, Run. We'll run all day if we have to. Right down your throat. Then for a change of pace we'll run some more. We'll bring in two quarterbacks, switch out running backs and put TE's on the line to exploit your blitz. By the way. Don't try to run the wildcat in our house. Just don't. It's demoralizing to you when you get stuffed for a loss. Don't assume we can't hit Ted Ginn in stride for a 50 yard bomb. And whatever you do.. crowd the box. Because we're gonna blow through the ****in' thing. OH MY GOD I AM PUMPED. IF PEOPLE WERE SLEEPING IN THIS HOUSE THEY AREN'T ANY LONGER. GO DOLPHINS.
I jumped up and knocked my living room ceiling fan off balance after that Ronnie game winning TD and woke up the baby.
At a game back in the division and the best record in the division I think it can be argued that Miami is playing the best of all the afc east teams right now. Its amazing really. Also interesting stat...the team is better this year than last year at this same point overall record wise. Just think had we won the Colts game we would be tops in the AFC East right now. I think Miami is going to be good for a while and we may see a lot of epic battles between us and the Jets. I think the Pats' time is leaving and two new young teams are rising...its going to be a fun one.
Cautious optimism is out the window, I'm sold on Chad Henne. When was the last time we scored over thirty points back to back. The deep threat is nice to have again but it's those mid range passes with zip that could make this offense elite.
