Miami Dolphins Week 2 Game Ball

please.

It sucks that we have so much talent, but our coaching staff can’t take advantage of it.

Big running with agile feet that run high. He also got Blount weakness don’t always cover the football. We need to use him and Marshall in the red zone

i am starting to think more in line with Anish B15 though. the talent we have is exeptional, and we cant score TDs in the red zone, we have players out of position for big plays. Even the player are disgusted. might not matter if all these trends continue. All the FO might be gone.

Feel like he always got a hand on him at the LOS, but did a good job to break free and ran tough. Still, our OL needs to do better in both run AND pass protection

Is this the same Daniel Thomas who many here were branding a bust and a waste of a second round pick?

bought tickets and stayed until the end of the game.

jolly good show – very well done – you earned your “game balls” for gutting it out.

just like last year….

but Im happy fo the kid and its completely deserved. He ran really hard on Sunday and with great vision. He had a few plays on Sunday where the blocking up frot was good but not great and Daniel Thomas made a split decsion cut and then ran hard downhill which is exactly how you run against the team speed and zone coverage schemes of the Texans defense. i thought Reggie Bush got himself into too many situations on Sunday where he tried to move laterally and got himself into trouble because of the amazing team speed of the Texans and their excellent ability to cut down lateral movement. Daniel Thomas ran exactly right. One cut decisions in the backfield and downfield burst, constantly attacking the seams. It was a huge outing for him and he deserves alot of credit.

Obviously however the fumble was very painful and he will learn from that mistake. Kareem Jackson made a great play and credit to him but Daniel Thomas needs to be more aware of his surroundings and protect the football at all times. As a whole though Daniel Thomas was very impressive.

is our run defense. Dont get me wrong as a whole the defense made alot of plays and came up woth some huge stops. 2 in the third quarter and a very lucky one at the 40 yard line after Daniel Thomas fumble. However with the game on the line we simply couldnt get off the field. Obviously everyone is talking about the drive that brought the Texans to 23 and especially the last play to Andre Johnson and the coverage breakdown etc. But i find the drive after the fins stalled with 8 minutes left and punted to the Texans and they moved the ball the way they did to be just as concerning. Fields makes a great punt and Marlon Moore comes up with that huge tackle to pin them in terrible field position. There is 8 minutes on the clock and we have two timeouts and they were able to gash us up for multiple first downs on the ground and chew up five and a half minutes of clock essentially putting the game out of reach. As great as some of our defensive series where in the game on that series the Texans garnered 5-12 yards a clip for the first 6 or so plays and where able to chew up valuable clock. Granted Dansby was done by that point and Michael Mitchell was in but with the talent we have on the defensive line and with the game still within reach its very frustrating to have that happen.

This week we have a good game rushing and the defense showed slight improvement. It was completely idiotic to leave Carroll 1 on 1 with the best Wr in the game. I’m not even sure big-mouth Vontae would have even stopped him because he has been suspect in the past to double-moves. Last week our passing game was great with no rushing or defense. Now they have to piece it all together as one WHOLE unit and show some pride. Also better coaching and Red Zone production. As well as clock management.

It has become obvious to me that my support of Tony Sparano has been unwarranted. I now believe that he is the weakest link on our team. He went away from the offensive game plan that went toe to toe with the patriots and hung us out to dry. Poor play calling, and poor execution by the offensive line caused this loss.
These are the people on our team that need to go away (in no particular order):
1: Tony Sparano
2: Marc Columbo
3: Dan Carpenter (is isn’t DC$ anymore)
4: Nolan Carroll (he is regressing and i think we all that he would be better than this)

That being said, we have a good team still. Being down two games in a tough division makes this season even more of an uphill fight, but i think we can salvage it still. If we lose to the Browns on Sunday, I will not be surprised if Sparano gets canned and we see a lot of other changes to our team.

LOL anyway, I thought Thomas looked great. This was written about Thomas on May 14, 2011. I think this guy knows his (stat)sheet. I’m really hoping he can be the next great Miami Dolphin.
