Do you think all the mistakes we made on Offense won't be corrected before the season starts?
The first team defense allowed 0 points. The 7 points on the board came from Frerrotte's fumble that was returned 70 yards. The other 3 points before the half were due to the fumbled return at the 10, and the Dolphins D did the only thing they could, stopped the Steelers and allowed only a FG.
Newson's fumble on the return was not his fault, he was hammered, the guy hit the ball with his helmet, no one could have held onto that, plus the field was soaked from rain.
IMO, Feeley looked much better than Frerrotte, for some reason though it almost seem that Linehan doesn't feel comfortable calling deep plays when Feeley is under center, that's not Feeley's fault, but probably just an indicator that Linehan feels more comfortable with Frerotte's feel for the offense.
Too much over reaction going on here, remember that we were playing a 15-1 team from last year, with an excellent defense and a formidable offense. We held their offense to 17 points, all came from fumbles an not because the Dolphins D gave out. One concern I had on D was the two large runs allowed by the Dolphins D, fortunately for the Dolphins the kicker missed a gimme filed goal.
I liked what I saw, we need to work on correcting the little mistakes that caused us the game, the score could have easily been 17-12, several key fumbles caused drives to end that would have at least resulted in Field Goals if not more... so let's keep all this in mind... and those of you who didn't see the game, keep your comments in until you do.
