Re: New Dolphins Career
Game Review:
Dolphins 6
Chiefs 35
Alright, if you thought John Beck was playing bad this season you haven't seen Chad Henne yet. Henne failed miserably in his first career start and completed only 3 of 16 passes (1 INT) and got sacked 5 times. At halftime, already down 21-0, John Beck took over and was average at best (11-20, 150 yds, no scores/picks). Ryan Torain was solid at RB but he couldn't get a lot of carries.
We failed to contain Larry Johnson who rushed for 114 yds and 2 scores. Our O-Line was a disaster, giving up 9 sacks (partly due to Henne holding on to the ball too long). On defense, both OLB's (Bake, Roth) were able to grab an interception.
I'm glad this season will soon be over and I'm already looking forward to the offseason and next season. Unfortunately, our 5 wins will make it almost impossible to go after Mike Zazzali who would be a perfect fit for my offensive system.
During the Week:
Ted Ginn was injured during the Chiefs game and will be out 3-5 weeks. He was placed on IR. Koren Robinson will replace him as the main return man and as our 4th WR.
DE Shaun Smith signed a one year extension with the Dolphins.
Game Preview, Week 17 at New York Jets
John Beck will start at QB. The Jets will be without RB Thomas Jones. It will come down to if we're able to stop Brett Favre taking our defense apart in what probably/maybe be his final NFL game (but who know with Favre...).
Game Review:
Dolphins 23
Jets 14
This was a strange game. John Beck got hurt early in the second quarter (down 3-7 at that time) and I decided to replace him with Dennis Dixon over Chad Henne. Dixon was on fire (13-20, 141 yds, 2 TD, no picks). Cobbs & Torain did a solid job running down the clock late in the game. Defensively, Reggie Torbor had a good game, recording 9 tackles (3 for loss) and a sack. Brett Favre was solid but unspectacular (161 yds, TD, INT) but we shut down their running game (54 combined yds between Washington and Chatman).
So an expectedly tough first season ends on a high note with a win over our biggest rival, giving us a 6-10 record and probably the 12th pick in the draft.
During the Week:
CB DeJuan Tribble signed a new 6-year contract with the Dolphins worth just under 7M.
S Jamie Silva signed a one year extension.
