As long time suffering Dolfan, I’m happy to see these guys finally getting their act together. Last night’s Monday Night Football game against the New York Jets was classic edge of your seat Dolphins football.
These Miami Dolphins have a really special running attack like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Running backs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Willams could each be stars by themselves in any other team. Together, they provide a deadly one-two punch which most defenses will have a tough time stopping. Just last night, they combined for 142 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns and 70 yards through the air!
Of course, last night’s storyline was Jet’s rookie sensation QB Mark Sanchez. But, Chad Henne, of the Miami Dolphins rose to the occasion nearly doubling Mark’s performance.
The Wildcat play being executed by Miami’s offense is a thing of beauty to watch. They have practiced these plays so much that it even had me guessing which way the ball was going at times. At the beginning of this season I thought this Wildcat was just a trick play they would use here and there, but Tony Sparano is including the Wildcat formations in the standard playbook.
The Dolphins are ranked #1 rushing and last on passing offense in the NFL. If Chad Henne keeps playing like he did last night, their passing offense could slowly creep up into decent rankings. This could only mean trouble for their opponents, since the Fin’s defense is always well ranked.
Last night’s game was a good one. Henne engineered a memorable fourth-quarter comeback, culminated by Ronnie Brown’s 2-yard touchdown run with six seconds remaining in the game, as the Dolphins knocked off the Jets in another instant classic, 31-27, at Land Shark Stadium. Miami improved to 2-3 overall and 2-0 in the AFC East with the win while the Jets dropped to 3-2 and 1-1 in the division.
Final score: Miami: 31 – Jets 27
