Dolphins Week 1 Game Balls

should also go to Trent Edwards for sucking. He was by far the worst QB I’ve ever seen and I was at the game listening to the boos from the opening series. He is just god awful.

credited to J Allen and C Clemons by a foot for dropping pick-sixes. j/k I agree with your choices.

got a ‘W’ on the road to a divisional opponent. Didn’t have an exceptional day, but didn’t cost us either.

… to Brandon Fields – Punter – for puting one inside the one-yard-line at a crucial time in the game. Pinning the Bills, giving them almost no chance for a score and was a factor to the safety points.

Fasano.. had three catches, but one was a clutch adjustment to set up for our one and only touchdown of the day… This guy isn’t bad considering most of you wanted a new dynamic tight end in the draft.

It was his first game at nose and he seemed dominent all day, not getting shoved back and even driving his man back enough so he could bat a pass down. If a nose tackle doesn’t set the tempo of the interior, then Buffalo is able to run up the middle all day, instead he kept things clogged up and forced the runners outside, where our LBs were waiting. He deserves it

8 cathes? Making a defense actually worry about the Dolphins offense?

Brandon Marshall deserve a game ball because hes the best player ont he dolphins, had 8 catches and we won.

Fan game ball to MIKE NOLAN

He is the mad scientist who constructed the new Miami Defense monster. He had these guys looking like studs out there. I don’t know if it’s legal to give these to the DC, but if it is then that’s where my vote goes.

If I had to choose a player….YBell
He was everywhere.

Dansby and Bell really impressed me. But, I will go with Fields for a clutch punt inside the 5. In defense of DC$(and Fields for that matter) it looked like the wind was gusting pretty good, don’t know if that played a factor, but it could have.

Yeremiah bell. Played tough. And I loved the attitude coming out of him.

I like Mike Nolan but I’m giving my game ball to Brandon Marshall. Demanding the D’s concentration, still snagging 8 balls PLUS teaching Donte Whitner on how to hit with that REDIC block.

He deserves a point for this.

Should get at least half the sack for that bonehead coverage that allowed their only TD. A (TD) shutout would have felt much better. Our Prevent Defense always scares me. I had hoped Nolan would have fixed that, but only so much you can do with the talent we have.

marshall pulled in 8 catches and drew the defense away from the other players all day
fasano made a couple of clutch catches including the reception down at the goal line
bell made his presence felt all over the field with great awareness and huge hits
fields redeemed himself with what ended up being a punt that sealed the win
starks quietly did a great job in his debut as the dolphins new nose guard
rookies odrick, and misi played as well or better than we anticipated

i dont see, however, how our field general doesn’t get the ball…….in his first game as the unquestioned starter he managed the game well, moved the chains, made some terrific throws, and gave up zero turnovers……season opener, in the wind, on the road, in buffalo

chad henne – 1 yard game ball

I would give it to one of these two:

Bell…was all over the place and laying some hits down, plus I didnt see him blow a coverage or miss a tackle all game.

Vontae….you know why you didnt hear anything about him? Because he was a wet blanket draped over the Bills receivers. 166 yards of offense means that he also played lights out, not just Allen.

Dansby. The less talked about offseason move. With Bell and Dansby we have true leaders who are at the top of their game. Now it’s time to shut down BF and AP up in Minnesota. 2-0 has a sweet ring to it.

for Yeremiah Bell? The best you can do is mention that he shared the team lead for tackles with the 4-yard player of the game? The heart and soul of our secondary deserves more than an honorable mention (especially with a ball going to Jason Allen for not screwing up).

They all should get game balls.

Vontae didn’t have a pass thrown anywhere near him and the others guys didn’t let much get past them.

Bell was a beast all over the field.

I was wondering if you were gonna continue writing these.. Nice work..
I would personally give the 5-yarder to Dansby. He was a bigger factor in this game, although Clemons was huge in stopping Spiller from doing anything to hurt us (so keep Clemons at 4), but Dansby’s sack set the tone for the game and he was all over the place the whole day.

And fan-ball to Henne for no turnovers, or Bell for headcracking all day long.

Jason Allen did commit a PI on the one deep play to Lee Evans that wasn’t called. That could have been the difference between winning and losing, and you guys would be killing him today.

For taking ten tons of shit before & during the game from those Suckalo fans. And also for coining the the phase " C, J, gets tackled ! "

I’m sure my cheering played a major part in the Dolphins victory ! lol…..

That man can hit, perfectly timed hits and it sends a message every time.

he dropped a would-be pick 6, and that could have come back to bite us later. thank God it didn’t.

i say the 1 yd game ball should go to jared odrick, he had a great game

There is a good case for B. Fields for pinning the Bills back, but if you want to do that you really have to give credit to J.Allen (at least I think it was him that downed it). Also his other punts weren’t as good as we have come to expect from him.

Bell takes it for being a team vet that was playing like he had something to prove. Sick hits and the man doesn’t miss a tackle. 37 all the way!

He didn’t necessarily make any big plays, but just the fact that he was able to learn the defense enough to get out there that much was impressive to me. Plus, he made a good ST tackle on the opening kick off.

Both Bell and Dansby set the tone for the defense. If BM made that underthrown catch I would give it to him with everything else he did out there.

Brandon Fields 1-yard game ball
That was one clutch punt at the end of the game
gotta show the man some luv

My fan game ball has to go to Cameron Wake, Because he not only had one sack and two batted down passes, He also pressured the QB on just about every play. And truth be told he should have two sacks recorded for that game but the second one they ruled incomplete. The sack of the week should go to T. Culver. But if not C. Wake then V. Davis should get my fan ball.

I can’t give it to Fields because he had such bad punts all night until that one, and they don’t get those field goals if he puts them back a bit farther. One great play in an otherwise uncharacteristically bad night for an otherwise good punter can’t get my ball (sounds so awkward to say). Of the three I mentioned earlier, I have to give it to Marshall for catching the ball but then getting first downs with it than no other receiver could have got and blocking someone into next week. Bell deserved one too for playing mean, but Marshall did that and then some.

I picked the Chargers in the contest to win Phins tickets. Oops.

To Y. Bell. 8 tackles is enough for a 1-yard GB..IMO
