Chambers shows frustration on sideline
Chambers was demonstrative in voicing his displeasure to wide receivers coach Charlie Baggett about about Miami's offense in general and his lack of involvement in it in particular. Fellow receiver Marty Booker intervened, and head coach Nick Saban later chatted with Chambers.
"I was a little bit frustrated," Chambers said after the 17-15 loss to Houston during which he caught three passes (two of them late with one going for Miami's only touchdown) for 28 yards. "Kind of was out of my character a little bit, but I cooled down after a while.
"Just a little anxious to get the ball in my hands, because I knew I was going to have a great opportunity with the way they play here and their secondary."
The Texans' strategy was to blitz the Dolphins, who have trouble protecting quarterback Daunte Culpepper, while frequently leaving a solo defender on Chambers.
"We don't see that very often," Chambers said. "When we do, we need to take more advantage of that.
"That was the game plan going in. We knew we wanted to go down the field. We had a good opportunity to get a big one. It was there, and I felt we could have gone back to it a couple of times. We did a little bit with ?Book.'
"I thought I could have made more plays with a few more opportunities. I thought we were going to make a step (Sunday). It's frustrating."
His mood worsened in the final minutes when the Dolphins, attempting to forge a tie with a two-point conversion, failed. A pass from running back Ronnie Brown, intended for Booker, fell incomplete. Chambers, who was supposed to run to a corner of the end zone, instead ended up near Booker in the general vicinity of the goalpost.
"I don't know if I panicked," Chambers said.
he doesnt say it but i think hes tired of all of dauntes 5 yard passes. dc needs to learn that when they are blitzing that they are leaving people 1on1 and he can throw it for more than 5 yards
