Dolphins at 49ers: Offensive Snap Counts

The Miami Dolphins continue to see mistakes kill any chance they have at winning football games, this week dropping the contest against the San Francisco 49ers. The Dolphins hung tough with the 49ers early in the game, but allowed 21 second half points, and just did not have the firepower to respond.

Miami ran 61 offensive plays this week. Here is the break down of the Miami offense, by position groups:

Thoughts: The starting five linemen all played every snap, with Martin at left tackle to replace Long, while Garner took Martin's right tackle position. People are going to remember the plays where Martin got beat, saying that he was over-matched at left tackle. But, when you really consider that he was only beaten for two sack, by the NFL leader who is chasing the single season sack record, is two sacks really a bad day? Overall, the offensive line played well enough, not great, but well enough.

Thoughts: Surprised by how little Thomas was used in this game. Good to see Miller get some snaps, including some snaps with Bush on the field at the same time. It looks like Mike Sherman is trying some things - a little late in the season, and he's not sticking with it for the entire game yet.
