Dolphins v. Falcons Thoughts

Game not as close as lopsided score already indicated. Dolphins were really shut out, touchdown coming in garbage time.

 

For the Dolphins -

 

- Pennington didn't look good.

- Wildcat was ineffective.

- Jake Long repeatedly got beat by John Abraham. Including one vicious pancake leading to a sack.

- Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams both look slow and not very elusive.

- Pat White almost had a big play but overthrew Ted Ginn by 15 yards.

- Phillip Merling is quickly becoming a great player.

- Anthony Fasano has a fumbling problem, 2 fumbles lost yesterday.

- Did a good job shutting down the running game, not so much the passing game - were lucky they didn't get burnt more.

- Davone Bess is a good wide receiver.

- Didn't see Jason Taylor or Joey Porter make very many plays.

 

For the Falcons -

 

- Jason Elam looked like he was on the verge of getting cut after the game until he hit a late 50 yarder (he missed 2 fieldgoals and an extra point in the game)

- Matt Ryan's inaccuracy down the field probably cost the Falcons 14 points, 2 overthrown deep passes with men wide open

- Mike Peterson had a FF and a pick.

- Gonzalez is still really good.

The thing that stuck out to me the most was the play of Curtis Lofton. He was everywhere.

 

Lofton was good. The whole Falcons defense was impressive. Really hard hitting - getting pressure, not getting beat in the passing game, leaving Chadwick with little 5 yard passes to receivers.
