This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
bush looks incredible---but I don't like feeding him up the middle. it's not his strength and he will wear down the way.
thomas looked horrible in the beginning----totally sammie smith flashbacks with the fumbled goal line dive #33---but his last few runs he's shown good burst.
Burnett looks great on D (why is he wearing #47) and the D as a whole looks solid but it could be b/c Newton sucks right now
Henne looks pretty sharp so far, though he cannot throw an accurate deep ball still
Henne has been decent, but like somebody said, he's still not doing well with the deep throws. Then again, a couple of those were to Gates, who may have been at fault.
From Twitter:
O-line played alot better
D Thomas scored the 2nd TD
R Bush lit it up
Henne had a solid night, even out rushing Newton
Def was top notch (Wilson did get burned by Clowney on a long one, but it was called back)
Anything I missed from the guys actually watching?
nope, other than Car looks really inept. biggest downside is inability to hit a long pass. henne overthrew a wide open hartline, henne and moore overthrew an open gates (who is always running behind the secondary!), and marlon morre dropped a perfect bomb from Moore that would have been a TD and hit him in the hands

I read they were actually dbl teaming JT, only gonna help Wake/Misi.
His patience was pleasantly surprising. He waited for the holes to properly develop, and made one or two good cuts before taking off. And when he did take off, his speed was blinding. I even saw him bowl over a couple linebackers and drag them a couple yards.
He averaged 6 yards per carry, and if you include his receiving numbers, he averaged over 8 yards per touch.
The guy clearly has a chip on his shoulder, and he's playing like he has something to prove. Bush can definitely run between the tackles and carry the load.
Its still early, but if he continues to play like he did tonight, he's going to have a break-out year and he'll probably save Ireland's job.
Matt Moore threw one of the most perfect, beautiful deep passes I have seen in a loooong time.....and Marlon Moore dropped it. It was an easy TD, placed right square in the bread basket.
Henne looked so much more confident and poised tonight. Really impressed me.
