Miami Dolphins coaches like taking conservative approach with plays called for Chad H

I love the 2-0 start but I wish it would be a little more easy. The Phins had several chances to score TDS on INTs against Buffalo and failed. They also had a chance to ice the game vs Minnesota on a 3rd and 5 (or 7) but threw an incomplete pass thus forcing the defense to step up.

Sure 52-0 sounds great but I'd take a more comfortable win any day of the week

 

Well for one I'd say that Madden '11 (and beyond) and fantasy football has drilled the idea into people's heads that unless you're flashy or kicking everyone's asses by 35, you ain't doing it right.

The teams themselves should worry about wins and losses. It's the fans who pull their hair out over things that really shouldn't be thought about.

 

Because they were 1st and goal with a chance to take the lead. A couple times. Why take those chances? You need to score to win. I understand conservative. But midfield, 3rd and 20 and it's a fullback run. Where is Ronnie Brown? Lousaka Polite has 250 yards running. In his career. We give it to him on 3rd and 20. 10 yards gets us in field goal range. If you can't trust Henne to make a 10 yard pass then get him the hell out of there.

 

This...from beginning to end..

The philosophy is in place....the front office's job is to add bigger, faster, more athletic players to the equation...

Were going the opposite way of the trend's of the modern era..were gonna change the game by sticking to an old school approach with modern day, proto size athletes....

 

I agree with that, but I think our coaches are smart gameplanners, unpredictability is what were all about..The passing game is there, we have seen Henne bring us from behind, we have seen us open things up when necessary...Its in our back pocket and is being practiced.
