Similarities-
Started season with new defensive co-ordinator
Young QB's with 1st chance as starting QB in training camp.
4 and 4 record to start season
Comparable QB play
Henne 176 for 277, 1900 yards 8 TD's and 10 Ints, QBR 78.19
RT17 142 for 241, 1762 yards 5 TD's and 6 Ints, QBR 78.19
Comparable Running game 852 (2010) 895 (2012)
Top 10 Rushing defenses
Host The Tennessee Titans in week 9 (We won 29-17 in 2010 to move to 5-4)
Differences-
All new coaching staff, In 2010 Sparano was using his mulligan (it was the d co-ordinators fault bring in Nolan)
2010 Dolphins good in close games 3-1 with only loss coming on Big Ben fumble ripoff game.
2012 Dophins not so good in close games 2-3
2012 Dolphins better in point differential 170-149 as opposed to 143-175 in 2010
2010 Pass defense in top 10 while 2012 pass defense almost last in NFL.
2012 Dolphins better at turnover differential (-2 to -7)
In 2010 we finished 7-9 only winning 2 games after the Tennessee win.
In the second half of the season we were 1-3 in close games losing to Cleveland, Detroit and Buffalo and ending the season at 4-4 in close games.
Can we right the ship and get the close wins to the positive side before the end of the season and how do you think we will finish?
