The Dolphins need to get to Edwards and make him *un*comfortable.

I agree as always Matty. The two keys that are the same every week are
1) O-line has to step up their game
2) Pass Rush needs to show up

I will be very surprised if we DONT see Wake. If we are indeed entering a new “era” with Henne we should at least see if this guy from the CFL has got game. Porter is most likely out and since Wake is inactive b/c he can’t play special teams then activate him in Porter’s place.

I wonder if Patrick Turner can be like Merling in the way that maybe he is just a gamer. Lets be honest Merling sucked in camp and preseason but man does he show up for the game. maybe Turner is similar, Turner is a big dude who might just need some PT in a real game situation.

The “Henne Era” is now upon us and i think we need to get our 2 rookie CBs more playing time (specially Davis cause like Merling he is a gamer not a practice player)
Wake needs to play the guy needs to show us if he can pass rush in this league
Turner and Hartline need to play. When you use 3rd/4th round picks on these guys we need to see if they were worth it.
Play Ginn on both Punt returns and Kick off Returns or go get some help because we suck at returning the ball
And finally Wilson needs to play less and the young safeties need the experience

This year is most likely not a playoff year for us so we need to get these young guys experience if we want a Super Bowl in 3-5 years

Can we PLEASE find a different pic of Henne to use from now on? That pic makes him look like a freeking swammie ro something with one hand upside down and held out flat then the other bent way too far back.. it just does not look like a QB should look like!

I didn’t expect any of that stuff this year.

I rele rele think Fasano needs to step up this week! You called it perfectly the TE should be a young QBs best friend. And its important that thos two connect so Henne can feel like he can always go to him a QB need to have that blanket..

Davis had the underneath on one, Bell on the other. On both plays Wilson was the over the top help, and Jackson ran right by him before he even caught the ball. How do you let the WR get deeper than you when your assignment is specifically to prevent that from happening?

My specific key is, either Wilson is out of there, or he learns before this game to keep T.O. and Evans IN FRONT OF HIM!

of our Secondary…. I really believe that they need to play Smith and Davis as the starting Corners…. Will Allen, in 3 years hasn’t really wow’ed me with exciting play, and this year, especially, he’s having a terrible year. It can’t be much worse having another rookie that shows promise opposite of Smith. And yes Aussie, I agree totally with you.. Wilson is terrible as well. Bell, Davis, and Smith are our best DBs… and we need to have them on the field together as much as possible

the season with 13 games left to play? Just sayin…lol

not to mention 7 giveaways by our offense. Do the math. We have to reverse this trend and that ties in to Matty’s 2nd & 3rd points.

The other part? Obviously Chad Henne’s performance. I’d say the success of Ronnie Brown and the run game will have a huge effect on how well Chad does. If we get some holes and space in the running game then we should have Buffalo’s secondary inching up to sell out to the run. Then we can take some shots deep and use the play action pass.

Remember, Buffalo has a patch-work secondary and we have to exploit that.

Oh and someone please hide Gibril Wilson. I don’t want to see highlights of TO romping through our back 4.

For some reason I am more hyped about this weekend. I’ve been depressed since our Monday night loss, but I am really excited for some reason. However….

I think we have a tremendous chance that Henne will make a good transition to this team quickly, and only because… They’re spending One MONTH at home… From the Bills to the Jets and then there BYE Week and then we play again at home against the Saints (God help our defense on that game) But I think things will work out well when we’re not traveling and can spend more time working with him and the offense!

Not sure why, but I have a feeling about this one. Something about the way he throws the ball has me thinking this is the guy we’ve been waiting for since the end of the ’99 season.

The thing I am happiest about right now is how good Sean Smith looks. I went to South Florida for spring break this year and bought one of those draft preview rags from Borders for the ride back back to Chicago. I remember opening up the cornerback section and reading about this 6’3 press corner from Utah and thinking, “Damn, this guy would give qbs fits in our division.” They had him projected as an early second round pick, so I didn’t think we really had a chance at getting him. Surprise, surprise.

Yeah, he got beat on the Malcolm Floyd catch, but his coverage on that play was near perfect. That’s the kind of route where you need safety help over the top… Besides, he’s done a great job of keeping opposing wide receivers out of the end zone. I can’t wait to see what he’ll look like in a year after he gets a bit more experience.

I’ve said this before, and I know he has his haters here, but it’s time for Patrick Turner to get on the field. I don’t think he’ll be the hack that Mike Williams was (just as long as he doesn’t eat himself to death like Pizza the Hutt from Spaceballs) and I see Turner as the logical solution to our red zone problems. He is a young wideout and will probably need some time to adjust, but our draft next year will be MUCH more simple if he can become the kind of go-to guy we’re looking for. I hope he is.

 Good luck to the team. Go Phins, I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed!!

I"m not sure what’s in store for the dolphins offense today, its questionable. I mean they’ve had a week to practice with Henne in there, it could be suprising to some. Henne you really are the future of our offense, get it done today.
