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.
The live blog continues in the comments section below.







Henne's passer rating so far is 134.1

Pouncey's shotgun snaps worrying me

Sack was on Fasano and Bush

Very impressed with Daniel Thomas today. We're seeing some of the good power running that was missing last year. And he's god out of the backfield too.
Posted by: Craig M | September 25, 2011 at 02:16 PM
the snap from center is not good enough.... no time to pass over the QB
Posted by: tony in miami | September 25, 2011 at 02:16 PM
Wow, Thomas staying low, like he was instructed to do.
If Gates was the real deal we could really open up Thomas and the short passing game.

No FGs!!!!

Just remember gentlemen...CLE is in rebuilding mode..they are not good. Am I happy so far..yes..but until we can win at home and against good teams I'll still be questioning...
The FO needs to be fired no matter what...

Is Brandon Marshall going to have a would-be touchdown pass bounce off his hands every week?
Posted by: The New Kid | September 25, 2011 at 02:17 PM
Marshall should have caught that pass from Henne no excuse when you are in the endzone and it hits you in the hands second time in two weeks
Posted by: The One | September 25, 2011 at 02:17 PM
FG time....again
Posted by: C63-AMG | September 25, 2011 at 02:17 PM
That stinks!
Posted by: redsky | September 25, 2011 at 02:17 PM
WHY WHY WHY!?!?!?! HENNE NEVER HITS FADE ROUTE IN ENDZONE STOP IT OMFG
Posted by: Joey | September 25, 2011 at 02:18 PM
another dissapoiment inside the 20
Posted by: tony in miami | September 25, 2011 at 02:18 PM
Get Marshall new gloves for charlie christ's sake
Posted by: C63-AMG | September 25, 2011 at 02:18 PM
They would've had a touchdown if Marshall would have caught that pass earlier... right through his hands
Posted by: Louie | September 25, 2011 at 02:19 PM
I got those Red Zone blues.....
Posted by: The real G | September 25, 2011 at 02:19 PM
Another missed opportunity and more points left on the field by the Dolphins. This game should be a laugher right now
Posted by: The New Kid | September 25, 2011 at 02:19 PM
Their talking about us, disgruntled!!!
Posted by: redsky | September 25, 2011 at 02:19 PM
Isotoner gloves please
Posted by: C63-AMG | September 25, 2011 at 02:19 PM
Henne missed that up and out route on Bess. Would like to see a fade to Marshall in every red zone trip.
Posted by: mike d | September 25, 2011 at 02:20 PM
Agreed Joey, but it might not be the OC. It might be Henne. That's the read he sees open, so he tries to make it. It just never works.
Posted by: DC Dolfan | September 25, 2011 at 02:20 PM
We just cannot score tds...in the redzone PERIOD!!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | September 25, 2011 at 02:21 PM
I'll take a 10-7 lead at halftime on the road every week. I don't care who we're playing.
Posted by: Craig M | September 25, 2011 at 02:21 PM
Odd feeling ... going into the half in the lead.
Posted by: zaphod | September 25, 2011 at 02:22 PM
If we cant put away bad teams how will we ever beat the good teams?
Posted by: DyingBreed | September 25, 2011 at 02:22 PM
we are a bad team
Posted by: Bill | September 25, 2011 at 02:23 PM
This game shouldnt be 10-7, hell if mccoy hits cribbs earler in the game, cleveland might be leading right now....miami fortunate to still be up by three.....
Posted by: superPHIN | September 25, 2011 at 02:23 PM
DB,
This team needs a confidence boost right now. A victory on the road, regardless of the score will help them.
Posted by: Craig M | September 25, 2011 at 02:23 PM
Thomas looks like he might be good. Bush not impressed
Posted by: thepirate19 | September 25, 2011 at 02:24 PM
henne and marshall no chemistry
Posted by: Bill | September 25, 2011 at 02:24 PM
You know you've sunk to low levels when Crique(sp) a fine announcer) has to spend 15 seconds complimenting us for a short field goal.."nice snap and hold" etc")
Posted by: IMAWriter | September 25, 2011 at 02:24 PM
i hope we stay in the game into the 4th...
Posted by: ctphinsfan | September 25, 2011 at 02:25 PM
Why can't Mia hit anybody deep?
Posted by: thepirate19 | September 25, 2011 at 02:25 PM
Why is Cleveland bad? And I don't care if Marshall drops a pass a game. Our WR core is a joke without him. With him, respectable..
Posted by: J | September 25, 2011 at 02:27 PM
Jim Bates anyone?
Posted by: ctphinsfan | September 25, 2011 at 02:28 PM
The receiving Corp marsh hartline and Bess us good. They just need to get open more and henne has to make throws. He can't throw deep or in the red zone.
Posted by: thepirate19 | September 25, 2011 at 02:29 PM
marshall has single coverage on him most of 1st half and we cant capitalize
Posted by: Bill | September 25, 2011 at 02:30 PM
It's gotten a lot better but I still see some miscommunication between Henne and Marshall.
Posted by: cocoajoe | September 25, 2011 at 02:32 PM
Halftime with a lead- how often will this happen? Red zone needs so much improvement!!
Posted by: flyrodderbob | September 25, 2011 at 02:34 PM
It's sad when the analysts mention good Henne, bad Henne.
Posted by: redsky | September 25, 2011 at 02:34 PM
Over 234 yards of offense versus 99 for Cleveland and all we have is 10 damn points
Posted by: blackhammer | September 25, 2011 at 02:35 PM
Mia has a terrible D. Poor pass rush and awful DBs for how many yrs now
Posted by: thepirate19 | September 25, 2011 at 02:35 PM
No Defense to open half
Posted by: 72perfectstill | September 25, 2011 at 02:37 PM
Tight ends have killed us since Russ Francis!
Posted by: flyrodderbob | September 25, 2011 at 02:37 PM
Is the run D still in the locker room!
Posted by: redsky | September 25, 2011 at 02:38 PM
Can we not tackle - guess not when we close our damn eyes
Posted by: blackhammer | September 25, 2011 at 02:38 PM
Oddrick Wake not making plays
Posted by: 72perfectstill | September 25, 2011 at 02:40 PM
I really like the new O. It's flows better. Execution is great but it's better. Defense is making me sad. No run stop. No pass coverage. No sacks. No fumbles
Posted by: thepirate19 | September 25, 2011 at 02:41 PM
Burnett sucks bad. i rather Clam Chowder!!!
Posted by: DKM | September 25, 2011 at 02:41 PM
Undisciplined, penalties= bad coaching
Posted by: 72perfectstill | September 25, 2011 at 02:44 PM
Bad O line play today
Posted by: 72perfectstill | September 25, 2011 at 02:47 PM
Henne playing smart
Posted by: thepirate19 | September 25, 2011 at 02:52 PM
If Mark Colombo doesn't get the axe this week I am going to stop following the Dolphins until the Thanksgiving game in Dallas. He's the main reason for all of the QB pressures today
Posted by: blackhammer | September 25, 2011 at 03:01 PM
Blackhammer. Suggest you watch the game with open eyes.
Posted by: ltcdolphin | September 25, 2011 at 03:17 PM
Mia o looked ok today. Ou d is absolutely terrible.
Posted by: thepirate19 | September 25, 2011 at 03:52 PM
Way to lose the game D. Fire all the DBs. I'm tired of them not improving ye after yr
