Jetsfan80 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Just imagine if they start winning some games that matter! http://www.chron.com/sports/article/Dolphins-bask-in-glow-of-2nd-preseason-win-2134120.php Dolphins bask in glow of 2nd preseason win Published 05:40 p.m., Saturday, August 20, 2011 DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Optimism is in good supply at the Miami Dolphins practice facility. Everyone was in good spirits Saturday, a day after the Dolphins defeated the Carolina Panthers, 20-10, to improve to 2-0 in the preseason. Running back Reggie Bush dazzled both his teammates and the home fans in his debut since being acquired from New Orleans, gaining 81 yards on 10 carries and showing the speed and flair that have made him a highlight reel regular. Quarterback Chad Henne was 15 for 24 and 194 yards, while the defense kept Panthers rookie quarterback Cam Newton under wraps, limiting him to 7-for-14 passing for 66 yards and 18 yards rushing.

Bleedin Green Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Come on, give credit where it's due, it's not like they did it against the worst team in the NFL or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Come on, give credit where it's due, it's not like they did it against the worst team in the NFL or anything. at this point Henne is turning into Matt Lienart-he can complete any pass as long as it doesn't have to travel any further than 8 yards in the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleckineau Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 at this point Henne is turning into Chad Pennington-he can complete any pass as long as it doesn't have to travel any further than 8 yards in the air Fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Fixed With that new (England) OC they're gonna be playing NE pu$$yball this year Kleck-no pass may travel further than 9 yards in the air-we're gonna have to play those WRs tight and knock them off their patterns at the LOS like Rex had them do to the Pats in that playoff game-Henne will be happy feeting it all night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Fixed I'm one of the biggest Penny-haters out there and even I think that's too insulting to the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Panthers rookie quarterback Cam Newton under wraps, limiting him to 7-for-14 passing for 66 yards and 18 yards rushing. Give it some time, but that could end up being Newton's best game of the year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I'm one of the biggest Penny-haters out there and even I think that's too insulting to the guy. 2 completely different QBs as far as arm strength Henne has him by 15 yards but as far as accuaracy it's Penny by 15%...BUT as far as ability to win a big game Henne isn't even on Chadwick James' level, in fact he will be benched by Thanksgiving-mark it down. Miami fans won't stand for much of his crap this year and the GM and HC are on thin ice...that stadium is ugly empty with those orange seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 =BUT as far as ability to win a big game Henne isn't even on Chadwick James' level Man, if you're several levels below Pennington on the "winning a big game" scale, you're really sunk.

Bleedin Green Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Man, if you're several levels below Pennington on the "winning a big game" scale, you're really sunk. I'm not even quite sure how that's possible, yet I still actually agree with it. I guess you qualify when you suck far too much during the "little games" to ever even play in a big game.

Gastineau Lives Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Man, if you're several levels below Pennington on the "winning a big game" scale, you're really sunk. Playoffs on the line in 2009, last game of the year against Pittsburgh. He gets a pokey in the eye and sits on the sidelines in a baseball cap, apparently still able to see Pat White put in a coma across the field.
