DAVIE — Chad Henne's stats through three games are up this season in almost every category: passing yards, average gain, touchdowns, passer rating.
And black-and-blue marks.
Henne has been sacked 11 times, fourth-most in the NFL and on pace for nearly 59.
Last season, the Dolphins allowed only 38 sacks; the franchise worst is 53 in 1969.
On top of the sacks, Henne has been hit, according to NFL game summaries, another 25 times.
Colombo, a 10-year veteran cut loose by Dallas in August, is tied for the league lead in quarterback pressures allowed (13). He also has allowed four hits and one sack.
Carey has allowed five pressures and five hits, Incognito two sacks and three hits. Long has been uncharacteristically sloppy after missing most of the pre-season because of a knee injury - he has allowed four sacks and four hits.
Back-up lineman Nate Garner has come into the game as a tight end 22 times over the past two weeks
Running backs Reggie Bush and Lex Hilliard and tight end Anthony Fasano all have missed blocks or lost 1-on-1 matchups that led to Henne taking a hit.
We need to trade a draft pick for a good young RT. Chad Henne is not going to make 16 games.
