The first two weeks of the season featured much of the same, and no fun whatsoever. On the quiet, almost mournful flight home after an embarrassing 31-10 trouncing by the
Arizona Cardinals that sank Miami to 0-2 and its offense to 26th in the NFL, Sparano's mind raced. The Dolphins, he thought, hadn't found their identity. Players needed a jolt.
Since the Wildcat
The execution has been almost beyond belief. The Dolphins' offense has risen to 10th overall. After averaging 12 points and 257 total yards in the first two games, Miami averaged 27.7 and 407 in the next three.
Out of the Wildcat formation, the only two passes have gone for 72 yards and two scores; Williams has averaged 6.9 yards rushing on eight carries; and Brown, who has handled the ball the most, is averaging 8.9 yards on 14 carries with four touchdowns. One play resulted in a sack. (Edit: My opinion - Ricky Williams tripped behind the LoS on handoff??? - or the play when RW faked like he was going to halfback pass it????).
