The Miami Dolphins improved their record to .500 by beating the Carolina Panthers in their home stadium last night 24 – 17. Playing on essentially three days rest, Ricky William had a banner night with three touchdowns, two rushing and one receiving. Chad Henne is maturing in a hurry and when given time to set up and throw is delivering some good balls on the numbers to Bess and Ginn Jr., both of whom came up with clutch receptions. The down side of the game had to be the decimation of our offensive line which at one point had lost not only our starting center, but the backup as well. On the defensive side, our nose tackle went down with what I suspect by the look of it on film, will be a long term injury. All in all, Miami played a good game against an opponent which came into the game riding a three game winning streak. The only bright side to the injury report is that since we played on Thursday night the players now have ten days to rest up and heal.
Miami now stands second in their division. This will now be one of those crazy weekends coming up where as a Dolphin fan I have to root for the Jets to win their game because they are playing the Patriots. Go Jets! Arghhh, it feels horrible even writing those two words.
