Re: New Dolphins Career

Game Review:

Colts 38
Dolphins 0


Overview:
You can't win against Tony Dungy. Your players can't do the simplest things and all opposing players are god-like. Hope Dungy will step down as Colts coach in the near future...


During the Week:
LB Bart Scott is out for 2 monts. With only 2 games left, we placed him on IR.
Signed veteran LB Derek Smith to provide depth at ILB.

At this point I don't really know which QB to start. Beck had more bad games than good ones but he still performed better than DeAngelo McCoy who only had one good game so far. Josh Johnson is more a runner than a passer at this point in his career, so he's a valuable roster member but not an option as our starting QB. We must get a new QB in the offseason!


Game Preview, Week 16 at Baltimore:
With Bart Scott finally on IR, Reggie Torbor will take the spot next to Gino King. Vonnie Holliday will also miss the game. The Ravens are pretty banged up. T Willie Anderson, FB Darian Barnes, WR Derrick Mason, DE Trevor Pryce and LB's Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs, Takeo Spikes, Jameel McClain are all out. They have rookie Chris Essex at QB who is a candidate for Rookie of the Year but their main threat will be their RB duo of Ray Rice and Willis McGahee.


Game Review:

Dolphins 20
Ravens 30


Overview:
Ray Rice scored on a 69 yd run on the first play of the game. DeAngelo McCoy threw a pick to Chris McAllister on our first offensive play. He threw another pick in the 2nd and was benched at halftime in favour of John Beck who proceeded to actually play well for a change (178 yds, TD in one half). Kenton Kasom had 2 rushing TD's but couldn't get a lot of yardage on the ground. Ray Rice was dominant for the Ravens. He singlehandedly won the game for them (along with his O-Line of course), going 20 for 175 yds and 2 scores. Sanrick Raines grabbed his 8th INT of the season (not bad for a rookie).


During the Week:
FS Sanrick Raines was invited to the Pro Bowl. Although he has a great rookie season his OVR is still at 78 (91 POT). I don't get it. Other players improve their OVR when they perform well.
LB Bart Scott had to withdraw from the Pro Bowl due to injury.


Game Preview, Week 17 vs Jets:
We have no injuries aside from the 3 guys on IR. The Jets are without Tackle Ryan O'Callaghan and RB Thomas Jones.
John Beck will get the start at QB. If he sucks, Josh Johnson will play the second half. With Jones out the Jets will have to rely on LenDale White at RB but does he have the stamina to play an entire game as a featured back? No specific gameplan details this time, we just want to finish the season on a positive note.


Game Review:

Jets 19
Dolphins 16
AFTER OVERTIME


Overview:
Dan Carpenter twice had the chance to win the game. He missed from 36 yds with 0:50 in regulation and from 42 yds in overtime. Matt Prater made a 52 yarder early in the game as well as a 51 yarder to win the game in OT (Prater was 4-4 on FG's). Is Alexis Serna still available???
Wallace Wright returned the opening kickoff for a Jets TD and we held the Jets without an offensive TD all game. Still, some mistakes (2 missed FG's, turnovers, a 15-yd penalty against our defense on 4th and 14) cost us the game. The Jets couldn't hurt us offensively, yet they still managed to get away with the W.
John Beck was 16-32 for 324 yds, a TD and a pick. Josh Johnson added a pick on a Wildcat play in OT. Our running game was ineffective but receivers Braylon Edwards (6-172, TD) and Brandon London (6-124) had great games. DeMario Waddell, who seemed to hit the rookie wall lately, finished the season on a high note, not allowing a catch all game.

That's it for the season. We're 6-10 once again. Last year we were happy with the result (coming off a 1-15 year) but this time around it's a disappointment. There will be changes made in the offseason.
Any guesses???
