The Dolphins Win Again!


The Dolphins won their second game of the season today. That is something that we could not say last year.

They beat a team that went to the AFC championship game last year. A team that is loaded offensively. And they had no excuses today. Tomlinson had been hurting but looked good early in the game. Miami simply outplayed their opponent like their last game.

The Dolphins controlled both lines of scrimmages. We saw them run the ball at will and get tough yards when they needed it. We saw the defensive line limit the Chargers in their running games including a critical 4th and goal at the 1 yard line. (I had mixed emotions since I have Tomlinson on my fantasy team!)

Sprano has the team playing like a team. They are doing the little things that it takes to win (i.e. Ricky William's key block on Ronnie Brown's touchdown run). We are also seeing creatively with the offense with the "wildcat" formation. Opponents will have to figure out how to stop it. It worked again this week and definitely confused the Chargers.

The Dolphins travel to Houston next week to play the Texans. The Texans are winless and have given their last two games away. Miami still needs to play well to win. They are not that good yet and Houston has some talented players at the skill positions.
