Comment: After beating the Jets with extensive use of the Wildcat, what's next, the wishbone? (Clayton)

Dolphins Rank: 19 (-)

Comment: Does anybody doubt Chad Henne should be playing now? His arm gives them another dimension. Henne, not the Wildcat, will decide this team's fate.

Comment: I'm not the biggest fan of the Wildcat formation, but watching the Dolphins run their version Monday night against the Jets was both entertaining and intriguing. Miami tries to trick you at times with the razzle-dazzle element of the Wildcat, and at other times it lines up and runs the ball right down your throat, like Ronnie Brown did on the game-winning 2-yard touchdown. Nobody else has the level of sophistication to match Miami's Wildcat, and I don't think it's even close.

Dolphins Rank: 18 (+3)

Comment: THE BRIGHT SIDE: They have survived their second straight early-season panic attack, and again have the wildcat offense to thank for returning to relevance. Other teams may copy Miami's approach, but thus far no one has come close to matching the Dolphins' productivity out of the "gimmick" offense.
THE FLIP SIDE: As good as he looked against the Jets, is it realistic to expect Chad Henne to lead this team to the playoffs after Miami lost QB Chad Pennington for the season?

Dolphins Rank: 20 (+2)

Comment:QB Chad Henne abused a very good Jets defense for 241 yards and two touchdowns, while RBs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams did good damage on the ground. I’m not sure the Dolphins are this good, but then again I thought the Broncos would win five games total all year…

Dolphins Rank: 17 (+4)

Comment: Last week: 31-27 win vs. NY Jets. Chad Henne did what Drew Brees, Tom Brady and Matt Schaub couldn’t do against the Jets – he passed the ball with success. Not only did he turn in a 130.4 passer rating against a team that was No. 2 in Defensive Passer Rating coming into the game (and No. 5 today), but he hit nine different receivers.

Comment: The spark that Chad Henne has given the Dolphins has been fun to watch. Nobody runs the Wildcat formation like Miami does.

Dolphins Rank: 17 (+4)

Comment: Miami Dolphins (21) 2-3-0 Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams are the best running back duo in the game. The Dolphins offense was able to move the ball very easily against a Jets defense that has been praised as one of the best in the league. Chad Henne deserves a lot of credit. He made some huge throws down the stretch and proved he is more than capable of filling Chad Pennington’s shoes.

Fins have to be higher than 20 in any power rankings. 17 is about right but surprised CBS Sports has us in the same spot as last week.

True, As much as love power rankings, it would drive me insane if they where used to rank teams like the BCS and AP polls do.

Most of them ran their mouth about how all we are is a wildcat that can't last long so they'll be slow to grudgingly put us up where our 'power' really ranks.

The whinning about the wildcat reminds me of two old men sitting around complaining about they dont need no "car" the horse works just fine.

I onder though, if the patriots or another darling team tried the WC, I wonder what the reaction would be then. Maybe the same thing, but part of me wonders.
