Game 2: Dolphins - 11 Chiefs - 10

My plan was to just take in the first half, then I got reeled in. Something came up and I missed the majority of the second half. Here's what I saw.

1) QBs -- Trent Green redeemed himself in his second outing, going 4/7 with 41 before being yanked after Miami's second possession. From what I saw, two of those incompletions slipped out of the hands of Derek Hagan and David Martin during Miami's first drive. Take it with a grain of salt: Trent looked OK. Cleo was sharp right of the gate, completing his first five passes and finishing 8/11 for 52 yards going into halftime. He fumbled deep in his own territory after RT Anthony Alabi gave Taleb Hali a free pass at Lemon. I came back to the television just in time to see John Beck dive in for the two-point conversion. Yikes! We was this close to getting "scrambled eggs".

2) The offensive line -- Not exactly a dominant performance, but...I don't know... they looked OK. I had my eyes on Vernon Carey most of the time, and he seemed to handle his man throughout the first half. The rest -- Satele, Hadnot, Alabi and Liwienski -- didn't do anything horrible enough to warrant a scolding by a telestrating Ron Jaworski. Except, of course, Alabi's error. Like the old saying goes, if you don't notice the offensive lineman, they're doing an all-right job (or something like that).

3) Chris "F#$%ing" Chambers -- one catch. Eight yards. Thanks for coming out.

4) Ronnie F$##ing" Brown -- The highlight of the first half. In the first quarter alone, he rushed 11 times for 58 yards. THAT's the Ronnie Brown we'll be looking for when the games actually count.

5) FB competition -- Didn't seem like one. I wanted to see some Mauai or Scheslinger on some 3rd and 2's or 4th and inches. Scratch that itch, ya know? Mauia DID have a third-down conversion during a drive that would die a horrible death. That's progress, right? Let's move on.

6) Entire offensive unit -- Looked good, not great. As stated before, each QB contributed; the line didn't embarrass themselves, and Ronnie ran straight ahead 89 percent of the time (No facts to support this claim, by the way). Chatman once again looked great. With three minutes remaining in the game, he's got ho-hum numbers on the ground (8 for 19) but a "Hey, it looks good on paper" 5 catches for 53 yards. Not too much from the receiving corps. In fact, they're not even worth mentioning.

7) The secondary -- Current nickel corner Michael Lehan fair-caught a terribly under-thrown ball from Croyle, and Cameron Worrell whiffed on a tackle, costing us 6. Some dude named Casey Printers looks like f#$ing Joe Montana out there against our scrubs -- 7/8 105.

In other "Why am I even bothering" news: Brandon Fields again had a problem getting one kick off. Several recaps from the Jags game made mention of how long it took Fields to get off punts. I agree that this isn't the most detrimental concern for the team at this point, and, with that said, forget I even mentioned it.

Also, I enjoyed Jaws' insight tonight. He'll make a great fit on Monday nights.

All right, game over. Phins win 11-10. Good night, Lou.

Next up: Tampa Bay on Saturday, Aug. 25.
