Cannot say this has been a stellar effort by the Dolphins, but they have done enough to lead the St. Louis Rams 10-9 at the beginning of the third quarter.
The Dolphins scored all their points in the second quarter on a Ronnie Brown TD run and a FG by Dan Carpenter. Believe it or not, the Rams offense has moved the ball with more consistency, putting together three FG drives.
Obviously, the failure to get in the end zone is costing St. Louis.
One thing that is troubling to me is the fact the Dolphins have tried to throw the football more than they've tried to run against St. Louis. The Rams are ranked 30th in the NFL against the run this year but Chad Pennington is 10 of 16 for 115 yards.
Ricky Williams has 6 carries for 28 yards and Ronnie Brown has 5 carries for 24 yards. Brown has the TD run.
The Dolphins lost starting guard Justin Smiley to a leg injury in the first quarter. He has not returned and the fear is the injury is serious.

No offense, but Buffalo is the least of our problems.

maybe instead of all the loopy crap they should keep the ball on the ground and run it down their throat. ronnie has 9 carries today. most starting running backs in the league average 25 a game. no one can do anything spectacular with 9 carries. and anyone with half a brain knows that he gets better the more carries he gets.

joey thomas playing himself onto the waiver wire he stinks!!! Fins need to fill their CB needs via the draft and Free Agency the scrubs we currently have on the team are not good enough.

Well with the ref's blowing all of the Rams players on the sideline today I guess it will go down as a catch
