Little Richard sang ``Keep a knockin' but you can't come in'' just before Dolphins offensive coordinator Dan Henning reached driving age. Been a long time since that piece of rock and roll, yet the Dolphins' red-zone offense should bring it to Henning's mind.
Of the eight drives on which Miami has snapped the ball inside the opponents' 20, only four have ended in the end zone. Two of those were in fourth-quarter garbage time. Three field-goal drives against Indianapolis ended at the Colts' 27, thus don't count in the statistic, but count in spirit with the Dolphins as drives left unfinished.
``The problem in the red zone is we haven't gotten the ball into the end zone for touchdowns,'' Henning said. Asked why, Henning said, ``The details are very involved.''
Pressed further, he said, ``I've got other things to do than spend time here explaining to you why we're not -- I can just tell you we're not getting it into the end zone and we've got to.''
The details don't seem so much involved as varied. Fumbles, missed blocks, and perhaps conservative play-calling have led to the Dolphins not getting points that could've changed the momentum in each of their losses.
``We've got to kind of not so much press, but you've got to pay a little more attention to detail in that area,'' running back Ronnie Brown said. ``Be a little bit more focused when you're tired or whatever it might be when you get in that area, make sure you don't put yourself in any bad situations. We have red-zone rules that we have to abide by and make sure we don't put ourselves in bad situations as far as shooting ourselves in the foot.''

LOL ok maybe not 30+

But with the one bad game we are AVG 21.3 a game.

I also think this is the game we get TO and Evans involved alot.

I think the score will look something like this 27-17 Bills

i think it will be around a 20 point game in all honesty also.
20-17.. 23-20 something like that, who wins? im a phins fan so you know my answer. but im biased and so are you
 
didn't we have one of the best red zone percentages last season? I don't really know why we don't use the wildcat more in the red zone especially when we've been getting 5 yards a pop with it at will the entire game. Red zone is probably where our rookie QB is going to make some learning mistakes so I don't see it getting much better over the next few weeks.

isnt that the truth. when was the last time the dolphins had a really good offense . this mad cow disease is taking its toll on me.

the dolphins and the browns may have the two worst offenses in the league.

the player that would put us over the top would be Irving fryar or Keith jackson but those days are gone we dont even have hunter goodwin or lamar thomas let alone other former fin greats.:boohoo::err:

And had NE dominated for 58 minutes.

The laid an egg against the Best Offense in the NFL

But still held them to 27 points.

New England is NOT the best offense in the NFL. New Orleans wins that hands down. Brady is still working his way back to feeling comfortable in the pocket. Until then the Pats might not even be a top 10 offense.
