Miami wins big 48-0
Defense shows up big in this one with 6 sacks and forces a couple of key turnovers, special teams records two touchdowns....Oh crap, that's the Hurricanes...My Bad
Looks like the PHINS get there first win this week 17-7 as Wayne visited this week and told Wanny if he doesn't use the &*$%^% shotgun formation this week to utilize AJ's strengths and cut down on the Lines weakness, he's gone.
AJ responds by throwing two TD passes, one to McMichael and the other to Booker. Chambers only catches 3 passes and rumors start to creep in how he is not happy that Jay has been benched. Seems AJ doesn't like the fact that Chris is so darn quiet and doesn't get fired up enough, so he keeps looking McMichael's way. Probably not too smart by AJ, but he will learn with time.
Konrad works his way back in for a couple of nice catches and short gains to keep the drives moving on 3rd down.
Turns out, that throwing to set up the run does help and Gordon finishes with a season high 86 yards on 22 carries as McIntosh fills in well for Turnstile Smith and Vernon Carey sees action late in the third quarter and demolishes the right side of the defensive line at crunch time.
Defensively, Timbo plays only on run situations but helps to stifle the Steelers vaunted run attack and Big Ben gets hurried constantly. He throws two picks, one to Madison who returns it 41 yards to set up Mare's field goal. The other interception is a deflection by Zach on a blitz that lands right into Jason Taylor's hands. Two weeks in a row, can you believe it? At this rate, Jason will surpass Patrick Surtain who can't seem to stay on the field.
Feeley's stats are modest as he is 25-39 with 228 yards and two touchdowns. He does throw one interception, but it was tipped ball by the defensive line and Jeno tackled him, before he could waltz into the endzone. It only cost us 3 points this week. Hopefully, he doesn't keep the picks up or we are back to Fiedler.
Good news, we are now 1-2...Check in next week as we Beat the $#%*!! Jets at home and improve to 2-2 before heading to New England and Upsetting the World Champions as they totally did not think we were up to the challenge!!:shakeno:
See ya, Finatical
