Dolphins Tame Panthers


A couple quick notes from Saturday's game, the Dolphins second of the preseason. Miami won the game 27-17, to improve to 2-0 to date.


-Chad Pennington looked very good, going 8-11 for 105 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback of the future Chad Henne did a good job, even throwing a late fourth quarter touchdown. The Dolphins continue to only showcase second round draft pick Pat White as a normal quarterback and probably won't unveil him in the wildcat till the season starts. The speedster ran for 11 yards on 2 carries, while completing 2 out of his 3 passing attempts.



-Ronnie Brown had a nice touchdown catch in the first quarter, but former sixth round pick out of Montana Lex Hillard stole the show. The 240 pound back broke free for a 39 yard touchdown run in third quarter. Patrick Cobbs continues to do a little bit of everything rushing for 24 yards, while racking up 56 yards receiving.



-Vontae Davis looked a lot better in his second game, tallying up 4 tackles. Bill Parcells might have grabbed a sleeper with sixth round pick Chris Clemons, a safety from Clemson, who had 7 total tackles.



Next up on Thursday is cross state foe Tampa Bay, and I will be attending the game to check out the team.
