The Dolphins have owned this game.
Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown have combined for 111 yards and three touchdowns.
The Miami defense has caused two turnovers.
And Miami is blitzing and pressuring Drew Brees, which is one reason he has completed only 12 of 22 passes for 104 yards and two interceptions.
But the momentum is with the Saints.
They scored on a 1 yard dive by Brees with two seconds to play in the second quarter.
We'll see how the Dolphins respond.
And we'll see that in the comments section of this post. Join me there.
Dan Carpenter is quietly becoming an awesome kicker.

If I am not mistaken that is the 4th wildcat play in a row that has gone for negative yards. When you have that happen you stop running it. Its not working right now. Just blew a chance for a TD.
Posted by: JaxPhinfan | October 25, 2009 at 06:41 PM
If you don throw or run forward wildcat does not fool anyone period
Posted by: Spillmar | October 25, 2009 at 06:41 PM
Up 10 now D needs to keep pressure on
Posted by: Chewyphins | October 25, 2009 at 06:41 PM
why don't they just run a conventional offense for a full series? WTF?
Posted by: ron | October 25, 2009 at 06:41 PM
What happened to chad hennes favorite plays that henne was supposed to call??
Posted by: Ricky34 | October 25, 2009 at 06:41 PM
Long as D keeeps playing lights out we are good
Posted by: DyingBreed | October 25, 2009 at 06:41 PM
We need to run downfield. Not sideline to sideline.

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR BACK SIDE
Posted by: DAVE | October 25, 2009 at 06:41 PM
can the d keep up their good work?
Posted by: Scoops Skullcap | October 25, 2009 at 06:41 PM
Is Henning asleep? Does he not see that they've figured out the wildcat? They know were not going to throw and they're stacking soooooooooooooo THROW THE BALL DAN!
Posted by: Account Deleted | October 25, 2009 at 06:41 PM
Worst playcalling in NFL history
Posted by: Dishpan | October 25, 2009 at 06:41 PM
No new wrinkles to the wildcat with 2 weeks of practice? Thats surprising
Posted by: Naples Gator | October 25, 2009 at 06:41 PM
wasted opportunity, saints D has us figured out completely.
Posted by: Earl | October 25, 2009 at 06:41 PM
i love the wildcat, but if aint there it aint there. play action
Posted by: smirish | October 25, 2009 at 06:41 PM
D is going to get tired an then why?
Posted by: Spillmar | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
Time to put the game on Henne's back.
Posted by: Kula | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
The dolphins arent showing any confidence in Henne. Hes not even getting a fair chance to show he can throw....
Posted by: Chase | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
im tired of this conversative bs
Posted by: miateamsfan | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
It does seem like they've figured out our wildcat.
Posted by: Finatic | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
Um, guys, the play-calling on offense is done by Dan Henning.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
3rd and 10..look at that offensive set and again a screen that has already killed us once and was almost picked. what is dan henning thinking? WHY DON"T WE PASS ON THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD-CROSSING PATTERNS?? HELLOOOO???
Posted by: big I | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
And then what
Posted by: Spillmar | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
they have to do better with the play calling we needed a td there! come on run out the base offense...Give Henne a chance...
Posted by: Ashley Farrington | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
I don't understand the insistence on running the Wildcat. It's not working. Try running between the tackles out of hte base offense!
Posted by: The New Kid | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
running these screens in traffic is too dangerous. bess with a fumble already and almost an interception just now. N.O. is stopping this wildcat right now but we aren't running the play with the sweep option to ricky, which baffles me? this wildcat is a direct snap type thing and the saints are clogging it all up.
Posted by: mike d | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
Have to play action next series to slow down rush!!!!
Posted by: JBfishman | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
D Wade finally got some Jordans
Posted by: Standley23 | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
Need to run the ball and make smart plays. Defense!
Posted by: Calphin | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
Let the Henne lose. Keep the defense honest they know were running first and second down every time.
Posted by: FinFan | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
Why are they running the widlcat to the outside? They ran it up the middle all night on the Jets.
Posted by: Shadow Templar | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
gotta remember as long as we're running so is the clock.
Posted by: DyingBreed | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
Does anyone else feel like the Fins are playing not to lose?
Posted by: jrc | October 25, 2009 at 06:42 PM
Special teams have picked it up on good coverage
Posted by: Spillmar | October 25, 2009 at 06:43 PM
I say dolphins should run every down for the next 10 plays straight down the middle. Punch them in the mouth damn it you can do it!
Posted by: Richard3000 | October 25, 2009 at 06:43 PM
Is the OC not watching this game, to see that running outside has not worked since the 1st Q?
Posted by: Cali dolfan | October 25, 2009 at 06:43 PM
How do you not know Sparano doesn't call the plays?
Posted by: Joel | October 25, 2009 at 06:43 PM
Nice ST improvement
Posted by: Rdiorio75 | October 25, 2009 at 06:43 PM
yeah its a waste running the wildcat with henne in there
Posted by: dave | October 25, 2009 at 06:43 PM
On that last WC play, the Saints came with a CB blitz from the back side.
Interesting.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 25, 2009 at 06:43 PM
come on man!!!!! you've gotta let Henne play the game more!!! Sparano is killing the Dolphins by not letting Henne play!! &uch!!
Posted by: Gian | October 25, 2009 at 06:43 PM
Darn
Posted by: aquaandorange | October 25, 2009 at 06:44 PM
OMG They just jinxed us by saying we had only given up 25 rushing yards....jesus

Posted by: miateamsfan | October 25, 2009 at 06:44 PM
I hate being up big early. No we are playing not to lose.
Posted by: Calphin | October 25, 2009 at 06:44 PM

Posted by: dave | October 25, 2009 at 06:45 PM
Crowder got fooled on that reverse
Posted by: Standley23 | October 25, 2009 at 06:45 PM
That last series where you could not score td will haunt us
