quick read on the lack of turnovers. Let's hope this keeps up. Let's hope we here no penalties next.

Another thing the Dolphins were selfish about on Saturday is the Offensive Line didn't give up a sack

And he Jags came with more than 5 people a few times.

A huge improvement over preseason last year. This is what's going to get jake and vernon in the probowl. Maybe even Satele.

I think Satele will make the Pro Bowl before Jake, but thats JMO.

It's nice to see the O-line coming along, especially considering where it was a few weeks ago.

I don't care how many pro-bowlers we have on the line, if any. I just want good pass protection and run blocking and more wins.

MiggeMadness · 08-18-2008, 10:28 AM

So now to ask about the interceptions we've had in TC.....

The offense hasn't look all the great in training camp. Is our offense progressing and just eliminating those mistakes? Or do you think we're going to see more INTs from our defense this year?

I know she ain't I bought her like 5 dranks and I ain't even get a kiss.

I would say that Ricky should start based on performance, and the fact that Ronnie isn't 100%. But then when you look at their personalities, Ricky maybe better suited to coming off the bench.

Remember its preseason......boys and girls....altho I am liking wat I see so far. No more Beck covering his hands with crisco before going in

Great .. you jinxed it!

Jake Long got beat by spicer for a sack. I think that was our only sack. Long touched spicer but his hands slipped and spicer ran right through.

That wasn't a sack.. That was a running play.. Spicer beat Jake Long on that play and tackled Cobbs.

The Dolphins pass protection in that game was excellent.. Both Penny and Henne had plenty of time back there and had plenty of room to step up in the pocket..

Thanks for linking to the column!

Obviously, I feel that this trend alone (zero turnovers in two games) will lead to a lot of wins if it carries over into the regular season.

Hope we can keep up this no turnover thing we go going into the regular season. Sometimes its more then just having loads of talent on the team, its also about being efficient. Look at all the powerhouse teams in the league right now, they dont turn the ball over alot and they keep their QB on his feet.

They dont turn the ball over, but they create turnovers. Id like to see more of what we did on Saturday forcing fumbles and getting picks. If we end the season with a +10 or higher turnover ratio, we'll be a very hard team to beat.

Look at the teams with a +10 or better TO ratio in 2007: San Diego, Indy, The Rats, Tampa, Seattle. All playoff teams. I would love miami to be in that company
