The Dolphins were in the red zone. Trouble right?
It has been this year.
But not in the first quarter of this game.
From the 10 yard line, Chad Henne faked to Clyde Gates on the end around and threw back the other way to Daniel Thomas who had a wall of screen pass blocker set up.
Thomas scored his first TD of his career. And the Dolphins lead 7-0.

Do we not have any play at all that is for 3rd and long except throwing 5 yard outs
Posted by: Joey | September 25, 2011 at 02:02 PM
Carpenter, due to our lack of TD's over the past 2 years, has far fewer kickoffs, thus saving his legs for all these misses.

Dolphins in self destruct mode already?
Posted by: LC1516 | September 25, 2011 at 02:03 PM
If Jeff Fisher ends up being the HC in Miami it's just a question of time before he runs Sean Smith out of town. That kind of play is just not acceptable.
Posted by: Craig M | September 25, 2011 at 02:03 PM
We've all this movie before. Opposing offense scores and our offense immediately goes to 3 and out. So predictable!
We cant never move the ball when we need it most!

Koa Missing.

After the offense 3 and outs the defense brings out the Matador!
Posted by: DyingBreed | September 25, 2011 at 02:04 PM
Craig you also told others to eat crow because Ocho and Haynesworth would be let go before the season. Care to admit you were wrong on that?
Craig, it doesn't hurt to admit you were wrong. No band aids are necessary. Just for once stop trying to point the finger at others when you yourself are the biggest kiddie weasel on this blog.

VERY SAD, Michael Irvin said this morning if we lose today, Sporano in serious jeopardy to be removed soon...
Posted by: Big I | September 25, 2011 at 02:05 PM
Sr. Crow, why are you trying to pick a fight that was completely unrelated to the discussion. He commented on Daniel Thomas. The Patriots and Jets are better teams... so what. Are they playing against the Browns right now? No.

Where has cameron wake been all season

And what exactly in that statement would be something to be sad about???
Just sayin
Posted by: superPHIN | September 25, 2011 at 02:06 PM
Sean Smith hasn't made a play since two years ago in a preseason game in NO
Posted by: 72perfectstill | September 25, 2011 at 02:06 PM
Don't give up!
We'll win this game!
Posted by: PriceMaster | September 25, 2011 at 02:06 PM
Finally Jones makes a play!
Posted by: DC Dolfan | September 25, 2011 at 02:06 PM
I just realized something! My Dolphins are not a very good football team!
Posted by: JJ | September 25, 2011 at 02:06 PM
Enough time to make something happen. No need to rush
Posted by: MiamiD20 | September 25, 2011 at 02:07 PM
3rd and 15. BLITZ!
Posted by: mike d | September 25, 2011 at 02:07 PM
Can you blame Irvin? How do his teams allways self destruct?
Posted by: LC1516 | September 25, 2011 at 02:07 PM
Please run Thomas instead of Bush!
Posted by: DyingBreed | September 25, 2011 at 02:07 PM
The Dolphins need points before halftime.
Posted by: The New Kid | September 25, 2011 at 02:07 PM
What a throw by Henne
Posted by: The One | September 25, 2011 at 02:08 PM
Mike, he's an idiot!! Can't even use his real name. I don't even think he's a Dolphin fan.
Posted by: Craig M | September 25, 2011 at 02:08 PM
very nice catch
Posted by: tony in miami | September 25, 2011 at 02:08 PM
Great pass and catch to Hartline
Posted by: redsky | September 25, 2011 at 02:09 PM
Mike
Not picking a fight. Craig began once again asking where did the Thomas critics go. He is always accusing others of running and hiding when they are wrong (which is not true, others constantly admit their mistakes here), but Craig hides endlessly from many of his totally wrong statements time and again.
So, what is with Craigs obsession to constantly point the finger at who may have been wrong, when Baby Craig can NEVER admit he was simply wrong on something? He accuses of others of running away, but it is he that runs away.
Posted by: Sr. Crow | September 25, 2011 at 02:10 PM
Dolphins getting no help with auxiliary blocking -- RBs, TE.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 25, 2011 at 02:10 PM
Second fantastic catch in as many weeks. Way to go Hartline!
Posted by: The real G | September 25, 2011 at 02:10 PM
This running backs better concentrate on hanging on to the ball they are scarry!!!
Posted by: perro | September 25, 2011 at 02:10 PM
great game Colombus, go to hell

nice slant to bess
Posted by: ctphinsfan | September 25, 2011 at 02:10 PM
Crow get a life and watch the game and stop being a pain in the a**....seriously!!
Posted by: Craig M | September 25, 2011 at 02:11 PM
Bess has playing well
Posted by: redsky | September 25, 2011 at 02:11 PM
WOW Henne! Nice throw, checking at the line. Doesn't look lost or pained by trying to read the defense.
Posted by: mike d | September 25, 2011 at 02:11 PM
Good pass hit bess in stride ... wow that was bad blocking by TE and Bush just stood there looking
Posted by: The One | September 25, 2011 at 02:11 PM
So the dolphins are passing about 80% of the time?
Posted by: Louie | September 25, 2011 at 02:11 PM
Thomas running hard.
Posted by: ctphinsfan | September 25, 2011 at 02:11 PM
Hartline can catch, Fasano can't block.
Posted by: The real G | September 25, 2011 at 02:11 PM
Chad Henne playing very well -- excellent, even -- so far today.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 25, 2011 at 02:11 PM
great pass. ignore the trolls.
Posted by: DC Dolfan | September 25, 2011 at 02:11 PM
Just saw Reggie bush on a pizza hut commercial....lol
Posted by: MiamiD20 | September 25, 2011 at 02:11 PM
Impressive half for Henne. 14-14 for 179 yards. Not his fault it's only 7-7.
Posted by: Craig M | September 25, 2011 at 02:12 PM
This game shouldn't even be close if you drank the kool aid. This should be a blowout by now.
We are watching two sucky teams right now.
The only true starter playing for cleveland right now is McCoy. We can't beat this team down like they are nothing to us?
Posted by: Tony Suckrano | September 25, 2011 at 02:12 PM
Henne has been really good in the first half. You can't complain much about the way he's throwing the football.
Miami needs to finish this drive with a touchdown.
Posted by: The New Kid | September 25, 2011 at 02:12 PM
henne playing a great game so far, making sensible decisions. last year he might not have taken that sack and tried to force something.
Posted by: gareth in glasgow | September 25, 2011 at 02:13 PM
Superphin, we are tied 7-7 with arguably the worst team in the league (KC and us being the bottom 3)...sad
Posted by: Big I | September 25, 2011 at 02:13 PM
Mando, what do you think of Thomas' performance so far?
Posted by: redsky | September 25, 2011 at 02:13 PM
I feel a fumble by thomas coming on!!
Posted by: perro | September 25, 2011 at 02:13 PM
Armando,
I cant believe youre endorsing Henne's play:
"NOW THATS A SCOOP"! LOL....................
Posted by: DyingBreed | September 25, 2011 at 02:13 PM

Posted by: Craig M | September 25, 2011 at 02:12 PM
14-16 180 YRDS 1 TD.....yes, he has been the bright spot
Posted by: superPHIN | September 25, 2011 at 02:13 PM
Wow Buffalo is a must better team than Miami they are down to the Pats 21-7... Buffalo overrated
Posted by: The One | September 25, 2011 at 02:14 PM
Thomas Henne Fields best of 1st half
Posted by: 72perfectstill | September 25, 2011 at 02:14 PM
I'm not able to watch the game, but who gave up the last sack on henne?
Posted by: Mike | September 25, 2011 at 02:14 PM
Thomas!!
Posted by: ctphinsfan | September 25, 2011 at 02:14 PM
Craig
Stop pointing the finger endlessly at others for being wrong and accusing them from hiding when you are the one that can never admit you are wrong, and you never directly address any question about it.
I don't understand your eagerness to always point your finger when you yourself don't live up to the same standards you expect of others.
Posted by: Sr. Crow | September 25, 2011 at 02:14 PM
Could be worse guys. We could be losing at home to Giants or Texans as the Eagles and Saints are.
Posted by: Craig M | September 25, 2011 at 02:14 PM
Daniel Thomas. Looking good today. Might be the real thing folks. Just needs to learn block coverage on pass downs.
Posted by: DC Dolfan | September 25, 2011 at 02:14 PM
Wow Pouncey having issues with shotgun snaps they have been bullets and way off target
