Sparano Q&A: 'Chad did a good job.
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/fl-dolphins-coach-tony-sparano-1129,0,986699.story?track=rss

On Chad Henne's interception yesterday and what happened there:

"Yeah Yeah it's a man-to-man route and they didn't play man, they played zone (you know), so. I think if in a man-to-man situation which they were playing a ton of that one snap they happened to play some zone coverage down there…and we were trying to catch Anthony (Fasano) coming through that and kind of get them lost there. Chad (Henne) knew it was zone, that wasn't the issue. He knew that Anthony (Fasano) wasn't going to be there at that point but I think what he seen is Davone (Bess) trying to uncover in the back of the end zone back there and (you know) and then he got--finally got somebody in his face. Richie (Incognito) had put a guy down on the ground and then the guy got up and when he got into his face (you know) he let it go high, so. (You know) at that point there when the clock in your head says hey man I really have a lot of time here, that usually isn't a good thing (laughter). So, throw it away. As I told him on the sideline, I said you need to throw at it…the darth vader guy (laughter)."

Dobbins played a hell of a game filling in for Dansby in the base defense also.

I defend and support Henne as strongly as anyone here but you just have to throw that ball away. It was a very poor decision.

He forced the Reece fumble right but didn't see it credited to him....at least not at NFL.com. He made another TFL in the game too. He did play well.

I also couldn't help but crack up right before the half when we let time go down to the two minute warning. Sparano was madder than the Devil. He couldn't figure out if he wanted to chew Henne's ass or David Lee's. They both got an earful. Coach just kept yelling and looked back and forth at the two of them. He was a little pissed......

My goal for Henne is to surpass Gus Frerotte's 2005 numbers:

52% completions, 18 Td's 3k yds and 12 int's.

As poor as that one decision was, Henne mad A TON of great ones yesterday. Many of them included throwing the ball away. He played great.

If Chad Henne will play like he did yesterday going forward, the Phins will win alot of ballgames. Really good, solid performance.

Sadly one decision like he had requires like 4 great plays to make up for it. I think he played very well, but that INT (where it was, and time of the game) drags the overall performance down IMO.

Agreed. If he plays like he did yesterday we'll have a good chance to win all 5 of the next games (assuming the STs doesn't meltdown like the last time we played NE).

Oakland fullback Marcel Reese plunged forward into a hole that was clogged. The main obstruction, Dolphins inside linebacker Tim Dobbins, popped Reese with a hit that could be heard perhaps all the way back in Davie. Down went Reese, out came the ball and Yeremiah Bell scooped it up for the Dolphins.

That crunching play epitomized possibly the best game of run defense in team history, a day that might have gotten overshadowed by the offense.

Holy cripes! The Defense held Oakland to a total of 16 rushing yards. Oakland was averaging about 140 prior. I knew it was good but didn't realize how good it was until I saw the numbers. That's scary good.

yeah the play was clear as day right off the snap, where we try to sneak Fasano across the formation, but i saw right away the zone he was going to be running into, and you saw Chad looking around, unfortunately we only had 2 other guys out on that route and both were just covered up... Chad tried to force a play but that wasn't the time...

it seems like Chad tries to force a lot of things to compensate for this offense... so we're going to see those from time to time...
