after this loss what kind of adjustments do you think will be made, particularly on offense. I say more quick passes to try and find penny a rhythm early, or maybe some more wildcat. Jake long has freeney this week so he has to find his manhood fast. On Defense Sean Smith and Vontae need to watch all the film they can on the WR's because everyone knows peyton will challenge them early and often.......

Start Henne!
 
Defense must continue to generate pressure.

Obviously the OLine and Chad P have to play better.

We not only CAN't turn the ball over . . . we need to create a few turnovers.
 
We need to put the ball in the hands of Brown/Williams and get our run game established. Make the LB's commit early on the play action to allow CP to toss those 10 yarders over the middle. If they arent afraid of our run game, we have no chance.

Dont make Penny win the game, just allow him to control it.

RUN RUN RUN!!!! Do you not think the Colts are watching the film of Sundays game right now? Pennington will again be ineffective.
 
WithWEigh all out backs and our FB we should be pounding the ball 35-40 times a game.

Our receivers aren't fooling anyone. So don't. Just run the damn ball!
 
Do everything opposite of the Atlanta game. Run the ball to control the clock and keep Manning off the field. Make Manning travel the length of the field and force them into a run team. Get pressure on Manning without blitzing and do not turn the ball over.
 
Last year we had a great run with CP.. now it's time for Henne to take over! Now if he can't handle the pressure.. then at least we realized it sooner than later.

Even the dope guy gets it....what's so hard to understand????

j/k about the dope guy thing btw.
 
I think the opposite of what is said here. It would be nice to run, control the ball and clock, but we can't. We are dominated on the oline PERIOD and Ronnie/Ricky will just be running into a wall. We need to play to our strengths, we have good possession receivers, backs that are athletic, can catch and run well out of the backfield, solid tight ends( even though they had a off game) and a smart QB that makes good reads and manages the game well.

When I breakdown the Dolphins nothing about our oline or run game scares me! You can guarantee that Indy will put 8 in the box and be coming at us all day long. We need to spread them out 3 and 4 wr sets out of the shotgun. This will give Chad extra time to make the reads. Control the ball with the high percentage 1-15yd routes and mix in some screens and draws. Also no huddle keep Indy from subbing, plenty of teams do this and it works well.

If this team lines up to play smash mouth we lose! Not to mention with no depth on our oline this risk losing guys to injury! In this NFL it is hard to play smash mouth with how defenses are constantly rotating the linemen.

I would hope they wait until the season is a loss before they do that. For many reasons with how the oline played Sunday it would be like throwing Henne to the wolves aka John Beck Syndrome. If it looks like this team is headed to 8-8 or less and there is nothing to lose put him in. Personally I don't like him and think he is a bust, that aside I know putting him in the current situation sets him and the Dolphins up to fail!

So you want to have the Oline that struggled against Atlanta's pass rush to now pass protect against Freeney and Indy's pass rush. That makes zero sense whatsoever! Indy is in transition to a bigger defense and do not have their main weapon to stop the run in Sanders but you want to pass??? Wow, go for it and good luck. This is the exact opposite of what it takes to defeat the Colts, let's try to do what Indy does great and we suck at, okay.
