Move the ball and kick field goals.  I don't like this trend so much.
Definately a step in the right direction, by the way Jags made a good play against Henne or he would have thrown a TD. The point is this kid has flair and he looks like a seasoned QB, he is making good decisions and he has good awareness of the field.

I was not bashing Henne or anyone, I was just saying I would like to see more touchdowns than field goals.

Can someone explain to me why we just handed the ball off to Lex freakin' Hilliard 20 times in a row? Where's the value in that? There's no way he makes the team.

I didn't think you were, I agree with you, but in order to get there we need to look at the progress we are having. This is promising.

THEY'RE. It's really not that hard. "Their" expresses possession, "they're" is a contraction. The apostrophe is a dead giveaway.

Highlight for me: No sacks, no INTs, no fumbles. (on the phins).

The penalties still need work and special teams - especially on kickoffs - is horrendous.

They keep saying on the radio Ronnie has some sort of injury?
Brown hurt?  You are kidding.  That has never happened before.

'72 - The Perfect Season

Good game tonight.  A lot of positives, including our first TD and our first win.  Carpenter, Ricky and Pennington all played well.  The offense didn't turn the ball over. The offensive line was solid and the defense was stout.   

But don't get too excited.  There are some disturbing trends in the first two games that really worry me.  In no particular order

penalties - 7 for 75 yards
punt coverage - 4 punts giving up 130 return yards  (avg - 32.5)
kick off coverage - 4 kick offs giving up 127 yards (avg - 31.75)
too many field goals.......not enough touchdowns....1 TD in 2 games

Miami averaged 15 yards on punts and 11 yards on kickoffs.   Miami won this game by winning the
turn-over battle and capitalizing on good field position in the first half.

I thought Chad was going to need a year to grow.
He has shown nfl caliber at the position and I think if he is named backup I am with it
