Anthony Fasano
has put up the numbers over the last two weeks and they have been magnified by the fact that the Miami Dolphins won both of those games. His five catches for 98 yards and two touchdowns all came at critical times and begged the question why he had been so quiet since the season opener against New England.
But a more detailed breakdown of game film reveals that Fasano hasn’t been so quiet in the offense, it’s just that he was making his noise in the other area he is responsible for – blocking. Whether it’s sealing off the edge on a sweep for running back Reggie Bush or taking on the opponent’s best pass rusher on third down, Fasano answered the call.
Miami’s last scoring drive immediately following Karlos Dansby’s interception of Redskins quarterback Rex Grossman perfectly illustrated how complete of a tight end Fasano is. Moore led the offense 81 yards on 10 plays, with Bush capping it off with an 18-yard touchdown run.
Early in the drive, with the Dolphins facing a third-and-8, Fasano sat down in the middle of the zone and caught an 11-yard pass for a first down. Two plays later he reeled in a 21-yard pass down the middle with one hand at the Washington 34.
