MINNEAPOLIS -- The Dolphins wanted to knock the Vikings back on their heels today. And they have done it so far.
They've stopped Brett Favre and his offense twice in the first quarter. On offense, they got a 46-yard completion from Chad Henne to Brandon Marshall on their first play. Later Henne completed a five-yard TD pass to Brian Hartline.
The Dolphins are clearly picking on Minny CB Lito Shepard.
Miami leads, 7-0.

So guys... there are 100 yards on a field not 51...

how much better would this team be if penny was starting?
Posted by: Los Lobos | September 19, 2010 at 01:57 PM
We can't continue to get breaks and not score-grandpa will use his 20 years on-sack-intercept + score!
Posted by: David | September 19, 2010 at 01:57 PM

google that...it worked earlier.
Posted by: acwalsh8 | September 19, 2010 at 01:58 PM
Henne needs to sustain a long drive ... we need to rest the defense for a while so they don't start getting worn down.
Posted by: zaphod | September 19, 2010 at 01:58 PM
Zahod, Pennington/Dolphins had tons of problems with 3rd and long the first 6-7 games in 2008.

Here's the question: Ronnie Brown got through an enormous hole and had one guy to beat.
Should he not beat that one guy?

Posted by: jtlawson5 | September 19, 2010 at 02:01 PM
the guy had the angle to catch brown! the sideline squeezed brown into smaller space to work with
Posted by: Dolphins4Life73 | September 19, 2010 at 02:01 PM
STILL SAY WHY THE HELL ISNT DANSBY ON SCIANCO?
Posted by: DyingBreed | September 19, 2010 at 02:01 PM
Gotta get off the field on 3rd and long.
Nice catch by Shiancoe.
Posted by: The New Kid | September 19, 2010 at 02:01 PM
sean smith on the lousy coverage of the obvious TE 3 & 7 for a First Down

Posted by: Home | September 19, 2010 at 02:01 PM
come on we need to keep them from scoring before the half. sean smith need to not let a TE catch a ball on him.
Posted by: dave | September 19, 2010 at 02:01 PM
The safety took a good angle against Ronnie.
Posted by: Ryan | September 19, 2010 at 02:01 PM
why is dansby not covering the te. everytime he covers we dont get burned. mando whats goung on with the te coverage today?
Posted by: oldenglish | September 19, 2010 at 02:01 PM
Sean Smith's star is falling faster than a meteor
Posted by: nyfinfan | September 19, 2010 at 02:01 PM
That's why Sean Smith lost his starting job and will not get it back.
Posted by: OhFinFan13 | September 19, 2010 at 02:01 PM
mando, your qurstipn is obviously rhetorical
Posted by: charlieb | September 19, 2010 at 02:02 PM
this D is getting stuff done for the most part.
It should be 21-0 right now. At the least 17-0
Posted by: Los Lobos | September 19, 2010 at 02:02 PM
gotta start knockig farve down!!!!
Posted by: jbarrett | September 19, 2010 at 02:02 PM
It doesn't matter is Sean Smith is covering an offensive lineman, the guy will make the catch. This is ridiculous.
Posted by: FB | September 19, 2010 at 02:02 PM

This game is moving FAST ... bills still have ten and a half to play in the second.
Posted by: zaphod | September 19, 2010 at 02:03 PM
Safety has a good angle against Ronnie, the RB must cut back, no?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 19, 2010 at 02:03 PM
Revis Island? How about Vontae Island! Vontae is the real deal.
Posted by: OhFinFan13 | September 19, 2010 at 02:03 PM
Farve is getting rid of the ball fast. Not much time to get to him
Posted by: cocoajoe | September 19, 2010 at 02:03 PM
We DON'T need to Shut up. If we don't give the D some rest time, they'll wear out, as happened all too often last year.
Our play calling is suspect, and we MUST not let chances like this to slip away. These guys averaged over 30 points last year.
Anyone remember New Orleans last year?
This is a game Pennington should have been given playing status.
Thigpen cannot maneuver against the Vikes.
Pray Henne/Henning start to get it. Our D can't hold them all day.
Posted by: IMAWriter | September 19, 2010 at 02:03 PM
damn we need channing
Posted by: Dolphins4Life73 | September 19, 2010 at 02:03 PM
The olb gotta get better jams against Shiancoe on the line.
Posted by: DyingBreed | September 19, 2010 at 02:03 PM
Yeah, they need to take a late hit penality
