Miami Dolphins Week 7 Game Ball

Another week, another Miami Dolphins loss.  Another week, another game ball that's just hard to give out.  Seriously, will Miami please win a game or two, so I can give out a game ball for that.  Remember last year, when there were games where it was difficult to pick a game ball winner, because multiple people deserved it?  Now, it's who can I get away with saying had a good game, even though no one really did.

I nearly gave this game ball to Charles Clay, simply because his one 29-yard catch was an outstanding grab.  

Or to Anthony Fasano, because he found that elusive land called the end zone.  

Karlos Dansby played well - when he was actually in the middle of the field, and not clearing out so Tim Tebow can walk in a 2-point conversion - leading the team in tackles.  He had 13 tackles and 1 pass defensed.  The next closest in tackles was Sean Smith, who finished the game with 7 - nearly half as few as Dansby.

And, of course, there's Brandon Fields, who averaged 49.6 yards per kick.  He punted 8 times in the game, with 3 of those ending up inside the Broncos' 20-yard line.  He had a long of 64 yards.

But, in the end, I am going to give this to Cameron Wake.  He had two sacks during the game.  He also had a pass defensed, and three more QB hits.  I know, it was Denver, and they aren't all that special - but, hey, Wake had an impact on the game, even if we did lose - again.

Gameball????

Are you serious man? Not since the NFL merger has a team come back from 15 down with 3 minutes to go! This team deserves to have bowling balls dropped on their heads as they exit the stadium!

LOL at Dansby's "Pass Defensed"

By pass defensed did you mean hand-wrapped, pick-six dropped? Whatever, as a S4L’er I thought it was a heck of an effort.

by Duens-Capps on Oct 25, 2011 7:46 AM EDT reply actions  

I think we should only give out game balls after wins. After losses we should give out the Monday pink slips.

If we absolutely HAVE to hand out game balls, how bout one for OFF4L for enduring the Dolphin games like a champ? First pink slip goes to Daniel Thomas for completely whiffing on the block on DJ Williams in OT.

I thought it should be given to our most consistent

Bell is all over the place all the time and he had a fumble recovery a sack and was getting pressure all day. That penalty they called on him was bogus the ball was still in Tebow’s hand.

by Luke14 on Oct 25, 2011 8:33 AM EDT reply actions  

Agreed

I feel like through the past few games, while I’m raging through my frustration, I always seem to yell, “hell yeah bell!!”. Seems to be making big plays throughout the game. Not sure about coverage cause I’m watching it on tv, but he seems to be one bright spot on our defense

by ejmarsh on Oct 25, 2011 9:19 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

He's a big dude, who hits big and makes tackles and plays. I agree.

Game ball to...

Donte Rosario for that crucial 10-yard 1st down catch in the 4th Quarter. Oh wait, that’s right, he plays for the Broncos now.

Im really tempted to give it to Sean Smith.

He is a guy who in the past Ive been pretty critical of (sometimes possibly unfairly so) as I see some limitations in his play that other fans may not agree with me on. However I love the way he is playing football right now. Outside of a few blown coverages in the Cleveland game and a couple missed tackles (on the entire season) I think he is having a great year. He is a better tackler now than he has ever been and he technically and fundamentally gets crisper all the time. All day on Sunday his coverage was outstanding against a difficult variety of talent in the Broncos receiver corps.

I like what Sean does too.

He gets overlooked a lot because he doesn’t make the INT, but he still ends up with great coverage (most of the time).

I see some overall limitations in his play that I think hold him

back somewhat and so some here have accused me of being overally tough on him, but he really is playing at a high level righ now I think Mosul. HE really did some great things on Sunday.

btw Mosul your doing a great job with the site.

although is their any chance the “key matchups” and “recipe for victory” segments may ever return? They always spark great (and usually civil) discussion between Dolphins fans as well as fans of the opposing club.

Paul Soliai was outstanding too.

he didnt have a tonne of tackles but as usual he made lots of great plays in the backfield, at the line, down the line and outside out of the tackle box.

Atleast Wake remembered how to rush the QB again...

I’m still scarred from watching him get tossed around like toilet paper by Nate Solder, the Patriots BACK UP right tackle (and Wake wasn’t even being double teamed), on national tv in Week 1
