The defense that yielded 516 passing yards last week is almost half-way there today, having given up 219 yards to Matt Schaub already.
The offense that struggled in the red zone last week, is at it again because three trips into the red zone have yidled only one field goal.
And the special teams that wasn't a worry last week is stinking today -- having missed one field goal, having had another blocked and having given up a 40-yard punt return.
No wonder the Dolphins are losing 16-3 as the team get ready for the start of the third quarter.
The live blog continues in the comments section of the third quarter post. Go there now, please.
Reggie Bush up the middle on first down... Nice call Tony!!

Hey Jeff-wasn't Darren Sproles cheaper than Reggie?
Posted by: David | September 18, 2011 at 06:10 PM
Henne does not have the instincts to run the no huddle... he does whatever he is told to do...regardless of the coverage

Posted by: Marc | September 18, 2011 at 06:10 PM
It's amazing that Miami can easily be up 17-13, yet this game feels like it is over. Why is that?

What a game for the rookie Thomas......Reggie can't run between tackles
Posted by: tony in Miami | September 18, 2011 at 06:11 PM
Thomas might be a league surprise!!!
Posted by: Bkaczor1 | September 18, 2011 at 06:11 PM
bush has been a difference maker thus far these first 2 games, NOT!
Posted by: dolphin 77 | September 18, 2011 at 06:11 PM
If we had smarter coaches and players in Florida heat this team would always go no huddle.

Halalujeuha pushes Jason Allen into Endzone
Posted by: FinFan4life | September 18, 2011 at 06:12 PM

Posted by: Bkaczor1 | September 18, 2011 at 06:13 PM
armando, sorry, but the player of the game is for the crazy one Marshall, nobody can stop him
Posted by: tony in Miami | September 18, 2011 at 06:13 PM
That should make highlights, just like BROWN running him (J ALLEN) over in the endzone in college!
Posted by: Marc | September 18, 2011 at 06:13 PM
Ronnie who? Ricky who? D Thomas is a beast!
Posted by: Jaison | September 18, 2011 at 06:13 PM
now the D will be fired up. we gonna win this one
Posted by: G | September 18, 2011 at 06:14 PM
Sure would be nice to have Dansby on the field to help our d get a stop.. Who was the one that made the ignorant comment that it doesnt really matter?
Posted by: Chase | September 18, 2011 at 06:14 PM
Lets hear the negativity now all you whiners and secret jets fans
Posted by: nate | September 18, 2011 at 06:14 PM
I would gladly have Ricky on the team still. Ronnie...not a chance..

Posted by: SullysPhins | September 18, 2011 at 06:14 PM
The whole staff needs to go !! Let Bill Cowher come in and have full control!!!! Does anyone really feel we are gonna come back and win this game ? If anything they will come back and get us excited then the ole knock out punch will come and make the suffering that much worse... my god please help us...After 36 seasons of being a fan you can see whats coming next.. OK we just scored to cut the lead to 6.. Now will the Texans shread our defense on this next drive and kill our hopes ? Hope not but, wouldnt suprise me a bit..
Posted by: pmeadows | September 18, 2011 at 06:14 PM

That was me...Who led the team in tackles last week, JONES...Yeah, not DANSBY
Posted by: Marc | September 18, 2011 at 06:15 PM
If we learned anything from the pats NO HUDDLE NO HUDDLE. THE NEW OFFENSE TO WIN. This league has turned into an NFL full of defense that can't play every down so they rotate out. No huddle limits that.
