The Dolphins Win!
That is something that we have not been able to say very much the past couple of years - but we could today against a team people love to hate - the New England Patriots. They did not just win - they man handled them.
We saw the Dolphins control both lines of scrimmage, play smart base offense without being too conservative, and put a new wrinkle into the plans with Ronnie Brown at QB! Brown ran three TDs with direct snaps and threw another in college style trickery that worked. The great Belichick of NE was unable to make adjustments.
The team is improved from what Parcells and team inherited. They brought in guys to control the line of scrimmage (i.e. Long, Smiley, Fasano, Merling, Langford, and Ferguson), a QB to manage the game (Pennington) and one to groom for the future (Henne). They have playmakers at RB (Brown and Willams) but need more. The WRs, DBs, OLBs, and KRs need to show more. This is what we need to get to the next level.
The Dolphins showed us something else today we did not see at all last year - heart. Soprano has them playing hard and with passion. After last week's debacle in Phoenix, I was wondering if this was going to another futile season.
We may not see many more wins this season, but Sunday was sweet.
