It wasn’t quite the bold prediction that quarterback Joe Namath made prior to Super Bowl III, when he said his underdog New York Jets would beat the highly favored Baltimore Colts. Truth be told, linebacker Joey Porter’s words about Miami’s game against the New England Patriots weren’t really a prediction. Last Wednesday, Porter said that...

I tend to speak softly and carry a big stick, but whatever gets you motivated will work. Porter is who he is and that will not change...for good or bad. The difference in this game was the stellar performance by both lines. The Offensive line actually performed to expectations and didn't commit mental errors. Likewise for the defense as they controlled the line of scrimmage when the Pats had the ball. Special teams coverage needs work or it will cost the fish a game or two this year.

Jimmy how about when the Fish don't run for 200 yards and have to throw downfield to move the chains? Pennington scares no secondary and he doesn't make plays with his feet. What have you seen from Henne and Jake Long?

I think the outcome was obvious against Arizona. The offense is designed to be a 'run first - pass to keep'm honest' mindset. If they cannot run block or the defense gives it up early, then they will be hard pressed to win. You don't have to rush for 200 yards a game to win, but you do have to make every down count and make good decisions. Special teams will kill the Dolphins if they don't get that fixed.
