Caronlina Panthers Loss To Miami Dolphins Not Just Another Loss

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:31:51 +0000

The Carolina Panthers came into the season with a lot of expectations. After coming off a 12-4 season and losing to Arizona in the playoffs, everyone thought Carolina would look to rebound and have a strong season. With one of the best two-back running systems in DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart and a dangerous receiver in Steve Smith, this offense hardly looked like it could be stopped. They proved us wrong. For the Panthers, this season has been nothing short of disappointing. After starting the season 0-3, Carolina won the next four out of six before losing last night to Miami 24-17. The Panthers record now stands at 4-6. But, I'll cut them some slack. They do have the second hardest schedule this season, and have top players to injuries like Pro Bowl left tackle Jordan Gross and linebacker Thomas Davis, who was having a Pro Bowl type season. Not to mention Jake Delhomme's 14 interceptions. After their loss last night to Miami, Carolina's playoff hopes have taken a big hit, and ...

Miami 'Fins Find a Way To Stay Alive

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:48:24 +0000

You start the year 0-3 and lose your starting quarterback, what do you do? You start to win with a second year quarterback. You are on the verge of getting back to .500 and you lose your best offensive weapon, what do you do? You run the ball anyway. You can like em' or hate em' but there is no denying this Miami Dolphins team is going to fight until there is no fight left. After an 0-3 start the future looked grim as the Fins' were sitting at the bottom of the AFC East. Insert Chad Henne into the equation and the playoffs are by no means out of the question as they have won five out of seven games. Their 24 to 17 win against the Carolina Panthers just shows the resiliency of this team. They were getting knocked down and banged up. They had gone almost the entire first half without scoring and before you could blink they racked up 14 points before half time. Ricky Williams, for the first time in his career, scored with both a run and a reception. Ted Ginn averaged 42 yards returning ...

Williams' running helps Henne have a pro day

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:12:58 +0000

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Going into Thursday night's critical Week 11 game, the biggest concern for the Miami Dolphins was how they would find an offense in the wake of Ronnie Brown's season-ending foot injury. Not only was Brown the first-string back for a run-heavy team, he also was a whiz out of the team's productive Wildcat formation. The Dolphins proved, however, they have someone else who can produce out of direct snaps: Chad Henne. The second-year starting quarterback, who played in an exclusive pro-style offense at Michigan, got a chance to let it loose without Brown and with little use of the Wildcat. Not only did Henne's efficient performance in the Dolphins' 24-17 victory inspire confidence that he can live up to his early franchise QB label, it also showed the creativity and adaptability of their coaching staff. His numbers: 17-for-29, 172 yards, TD, no INTs. It doesn't hurt that Henne has the right help to operate a traditional NFL offense. Few teams have the ...

Ricky Williams: 'I'm not talking about myself'

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:59:50 +0000

Ricky Williams is among the NFL's most powerful breakaway backs, but he also is elusive off the field, especially with media in the locker room. Williams didn't care to talk much about his individual performance in Thursday's 24-17 win over the Panthers, but he did spend a few minutes talking to Sporting News' Vinnie Iyer and other reporters about the Dolphins' resilient offensive line and the challenges of replacing Ronnie Brown as the team's feature back: Q: What were the keys to getting this win? Ricky Williams: Coach (Tony Sparano) always talks about finishing. Sometimes in this league, it's a physical game, and it's difficult to finish. I think in the past we have prided ourselves on finishing games, and we did a good job tonight. Q: What are your thoughts on how the offensive line played, considering all the midgame reshuffling because of injuries? RW: It's tough. It seemed like they were dropping like flies, but somehow (they came through). They work hard in ...

What We Learned: Dolphins have more than a gross edge on Panthers

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:39:38 +0000

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Three observations from watching the Miami Dolphins defeat the Carolina Panthers 24-17 on Thursday night: The Dolphins have an underrated receiving corps Starters Greg Camarillo and 2007 ninth-overall pick Ted Ginn Jr. have made their share of big plays, but of late coaches are making better use of rookie Brian Hartline and second-year man Davone Bess. Hartline has good hands and sneaky speed, while Bess is quick and super-athletic. In addition to burning overmatched nickel and dime backs, Bess can make tough catches. It's no surprise that second-year quarterback Chad Henne is starting to trust Hartline and Bess more to get open for key gains, especially working inside. As they gain experience, Hartline and Bess are making a case for starting in the future. The Panthers really miss Jordan Gross Credit the Dolphins for make a point of attacking the left side of Carolina's offense because Gross, a Pro Bowl tackle, is done for the season. To ...

Dolphins-Panthers: Dolphins Offense Without Ronnie Brown

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:33:24 +0000

With Ronnie Brown out, the Dolphins will need to find ways to move the ball other than the Wildcat with Brown as the focul point. If they want to use the Wildcat Ricky Williams is going to have to be the one taking snaps. I know Ricky is not Ronnie but he is still a great runner. The only problem is that instead of sitting back and improvising like only Brown can do, Williams will probably have to use designed plays and blocks more than Ronnie usually does. Ricky and Ronnie are both great runners but they are two entirely different types of runners. Ronnie usually is patient and waits for something to develop so he can burst through the hole and get open space. Ricky goes where he's supposed to and hits the gap with conviction, which is the reason he's not quite as effective in running the Wildcat. The unconventional formation has shown some success with Ricky taking snaps though. Ricky could very easily break some big runs out of the Wildcat but we won't be seeing it as often as we have in ...
