Dolphin Disaster

The game was never close. New England seemed to lose interest after marching out to a 28-0 lead. Still, Miami doesn't look that far away from being a competitive team. The receiving corps drops a lot of balls, but Cleo Lemon shows some escapability. You'd like to see him be a little more intelligent with his running game. He could have dove for the pylon on the fourth down play, plus on the play action roll out he could have jogged in after a pass fake. Instead, he throws it in the dirt. Still, for the most part, he looked on target. The Phins could use at least one go-to receiver.

On defense, they need to upgrade in the middle. The had a pretty good game plan for the Pat's passing game. Letting Maroney run wild killed them. If the Big Tuna can find a few spare parts, Miami could move to respectable pretty quick.
