Third quarter starts with Dolphins leading Vikes, 7-0

MINNEAPOLIS -- It started out fast, with the Dolphins scoring on their first offensive possession.

Things settled down afterward, with the teams about ready to start the third quarter and Miami still holding a 7-0 lead.

Chad Henne has thrown only five passes and completed three of them for 70 yards. That includes the 46-yarder to Brandon Marshall.

The Dolphins are getting timely play from the defense. Vontae Davis got an interception at the Miami 1 yard line to thwart a Minnesota drive.

Minnesota WR Percy Harvin tweaked his hip again during the second quarter. He is questionable to return.

[Marc]

*Yawn*

[Johan]

Anyone have a decent stream? this firstrow one keeps stopping and i'm ABOUT to mostly just get audio of that last wildcat play.

[popncaps551]

henne needs tempo. pennington didnt. drop the cat

[dave]

need a pick 6

[Dexter]

Not being able to convert some of these drives will end up killing them in the end.

[mr kahn]

be patient with the wildcat its gonna get us a td

[/Facepalm]

Someone please inform Henning that you do not run the wildcat between the 25 yard lines, on any down but first. The risk does not outweigh the reward. Once again that call stalled the drive...

[The New Kid]

More moronic play calling killed that drive.

Why go with the Wildcat when running out of the I is so successful? Why never play action pass when the ground game is so effective? Why run a 3rd down play with an empty-set field?

[superPHIN]

Wildcat kills drives

[bobbyd12]

I got a decent stream 4 u, DirecTv

[jt350]

were pounding them, then we go to WC, for loss of 2, lets just keep pounding them

[IMAWriter]

WHY!!!!???
WHYLDCAT?

[Marc]

Fields the hero of the day again?

[ludachris]

WC kills the drive again

[mcduffie81]

how many times will the wildcat kill drives? one thing to use it in the red zone but come on we were running the ball fine in the normal formation

[wickedtexan]

smart play by henne. Im really over the wildcat, and i feel henning keeps calling it only because the league says its a gimmic, and he wants to seems smarter thab the rest.

[jtlawson5]

they were looking for the 4-5 yards the wildcat got on the first Q. didn't work this time

[d-dense]

come on D

[kris]

WILD CAT CAN WORK...

[DyingBreed]

NO POINTS? LAST I CHECKED THE VIKES WERE A DAMN GOOD DEFENSE TOO. SOME OF YOU REALLY OUGHT TO MOVE OUT YOUR MOMS BASEMENT. REAL LIFE, THX FOR STOPPING BY!!!

[Dolphins4Life73]

I LOVE THE SWARM ON DEFENSE

[zaphod]

Good call, popncaps551, I think that's the problem with the Wildcat and Henne.

[Big I]

Henne starts the play with one target in mind and that's it. If that guy is covered, the play is over unless there is a wide open 2nd target. He doesn't seem to go through his reads well--what you think Armando?

[IMAWriter]

Henning the drive killer strikes again.

[test]

running the ball well out of the base set

and damn henning does a wild cat and messes up that drive
