Dolphins and Cardinals are scoreless going to second quarter

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Ryan Tannehill is on target today. Davone Bess is on fire with multiple outstanding catches, including a 22 yard gain on a slant.

And the Dolphins are moving the football.

But the score is still 0-0 after one quarter here in the desert.

The Cardinals offense moved the ball their initial drive but was shut down on consecutive three-and-outs the next two possessions.

This is the best I've seen Tannehill throw the ball so far this season. Seriously.

[dbmfins]

Lot of passes to the WR's today. Looks great

[nyfinfan]

That's the one throw in the WC you need!

[Orlando Dolphan]

With our defense, Reggie Bush, and if Tanne develops during the season we could surprise some people.

That Jets loss hurt last week. Every game is important in a 16 game NFL season. I hope that home loss does not come back to hunt us later in the season.

[nyfinfan]

The kid looks good

[blink]

hartline has great hands.

[ncfinfan33]

D Thomas puzzie footing to the hole

[Armando Salguero]

Nice little confidence reconstruction for Dan Carpenter. Thirty-two yards. Bang!

[dbmfins]

Oh look, Carpenter can make a FG! Sporano is doing a fist pump right now becaues he didn't get to do any during his game!

[Yesterday's Gone]

Tanne impressive today. But gotta turn the redzone trips into 7pts. Fistpumps arent enough to take down this card offense.

[Orlando Dolphan]

A field goal is OK. This Cardinal defense is good also. It is going to be a physical game today. If we stay away from turnovers, we are going to have a chance in this one.

[nyfinfan]

THill looks comfortable and his throws are on target, now if we give him a little running game to help the playaction this could be a good afternoon.

[Ziggy]

Good drive, still need a wr badly. Tannehill will progress quicker with someone to rely on.

[Yesterday's Gone]

The D cant allow Kolb to find a comfort zone. If this happens he'll pass for 450yds today.

[We Have RB's]

Mando,

Can you ask Ireland why we only have two WR's on the roster who can make a play??? Where's the 3rd & 4th option???

BTW--Clay got HAMMERED on that hit.

[Dashi]

Hey we scored more than the jets already!

Ha!

OK now stop them and get that ball back.

[Spillmar]

I predict 2 picks from Kolb when they give up run in 3 rd quarter. Dolphins win today 24 to 16.

Funny the AFC East will have all teams 2-2 end of the day.

[ncfinfan33]

Kolb hasnt went Fitzgeralds way much.. i figured theyd be picking on whichever corner is covering him

[Ziggy]

Screw Carpenter and his confidence, he has one friggin job to do and he sucked it up twice last week. He owes us a game, then I'll forgive him.

[Reg]

I agree with having thomas as the 2nd back early on, pound the arizona d and when they tire later on the speed of miller should be able to get us some good yards. At the minute though we are leaning on tanny a tad, hopefully this will lead to more room for the backs to get some yards and keep the cardinals D off balance

[dbmfins]

Nice job by Burnett!

[miamatt]

Agreed. It is so obvious that Tanny trusts Hartline, Bess, Fasano, and absoluetly NOBODY else. Can't say I blame him.

[Yesterday's Gone]

Bush's knee must still have some soreness. He doesnt seem to have the usual explosiveness into the hole.

[MiamiD20]

Jests got crushed 34-0, gonna love listening to the radio tomorrow morning :)

[Spillmar]

Thank Armando for Wake-ing the defense up with his article on the lack of sacks. Wake 3 sacks today. Come on D- this team is way better coached than last year.

[cocoajoe]

I was thinking before this game, O-line had to be sharp today....not so much and if Philbin is what we all hope he is, will trade Long ASAP.

Tannehill looks like a real pro today....keep it up

[cocoajoe]

Carpenter is still hooking

[ray]

Wake keeps getting held but no flags.

[Yesterday's Gone]

Wake #2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nyfinfan]

Wake never gets a call

[Ohio Dolfan]

Cameron Wake!!!!! YES!

[ray]

I told you guys Wake going to have a monster game I say 4 sacks today!

[Orlando Dolphan]

How did the Cardinals beat the Patriots in New England? I guess anything can happen in the NFL.

2 sacks for Wake.

[Dashi]

Our 3rd down defense looking real good so far!

Let's keep it up!

[Spillmar]

For those without broadcast got to firstrow.
Get app Skyfire and you can watch on iphone.

[Craig M]

MiamiD20,

The Jets showed again today they are frauds they always are. We let them off the hook last week. Too bad....they're not a good football team.

[dbmfins]

Damn holding on the return! Was a nice return.

[Armando Salguero]

If I'mthe Dolphins I nurse this series along because I do not want a pick six from the 11 yard line.

[Yesterday's Gone]

With 2 sacks already, Im sure Cards will adjust thier ppass protect, they would be foolish not too.

[jcurrier31]

Hey Armando,
Why does it take so long for the app to update?

[Dashi]

The patriots don't have a o-line or d-line. Buffalo is even worst and they spent 100 mil on Luigi!

[Craig M]

ray,

Tell me again how a guy who was drafted in the SIXTH round in Clay can be considered a bust. Seriously bud, do you even know what the definition of one is?

[dbmfins]

Thigpen is another good pick up by Ireland folks.

[CadillacDeVille]

It's official!
We are going to win this game.
Az cannot beat a good team like us.
Everyone that doubted us and bet on AZ is feeling stupid and worried right now.
Go Tanne!

[Dashi]

Bess breaking ankles!

[Ken]

These special teams penaltys cost us last week and damn if these guys are not learning from those mistakes last week. I put that on the coach.

[Yesterday's Gone]

Armando,

That pass was great trust in Tanne by Sherman.

[We Have RB's]

Bess is playing great today.

[Craig M]

Armando,

I'm going to diagree with you. Tannehill's in a rythmn. Don't change a thing and go into a shell. That's what we did last week and it cost us.

[Orlando Dolphan]

It is starting to look like Tannehill may be the real deal. If Ireland can land a big play wide receiver and another TE to go with Bess and Hartline. Our offense will be dangerous next year. We already have a playoff caliber defense that with a little tweaking could be great.

[Armando Salguero]

Trust is great, YG. I guess I'm not there yet.

[dbmfins]

Good thing Armando is not the coach. Nurse the series along? Really?!

[Spillmar]

I have been a fan since 1976. I have watched team after team after team. I am telling you this team has something special I can't put my finger on. Not that this year will be their year; but for the first time I am believing the foundation for a real run over the next few years is a reality. They aren't brash, cocky and they still are proud. Being hungry comes with progression throughout the yea; mark my words I see a good year, not just building, but a respectable go. The D is stocked and I think the D-backs will get better as they learn to communicate and fill in the void left by Bell. Just my O.

[Yesterday's Gone]

Heck, what Im seeing in Tanne today was what I was hoping to see from Henne in year 3. LOL

[Craig M]

Orlando,

That's it EXACTLY. That's the plan. Need some additional pass rush and another safety too.

[jcurrier31]

I wouldn't get ahead of myself on the win, this looks a lot like the Houston game, lets avoid the meltdown.

[Orlando Dolphan]

It is Javorski Lane time.

[Armando Salguero]

dbmfins, if you had seen last week's game against the Jets, had they nursed a couple of series along, there wouldn't have been that interception return TD and no overtime and no Dolphins loss.

[Yesterday's Gone]

Armando,

Its hard to "be there" with qb's in Miami post Marino. So I give you a HUGE pass in that department. LOL

[jcurrier31]

Go 4 it
