Title: Two Minute Drill Needs Work Post by: masterfins on October 25, 2010, 11:43:53 am Overshadowed by the questionable call, is another dismal 2 minute drill performance. The Fins had plenty of time to get into field goal range, but once again floundered. I'm a fan of Chad Henne, and I think he is a good quarterback, and has shown improvement. However, once again in the final two minutes he showed no poise, rushed passes, and fled the pocket when he didn't need to. This needs to be a priority in practice, second only to kick return coverage.

The team's two-minute drill and hurry-up offense does need a lot of work. Clearly, they were unable to bounce back from an unfortunate call. Good teams can be screwed by calls and still come out victorious by being able to regroup and having someone on the sidelines with some actual leadership qualities. The Dolphins have neither. The Dolphins do play with a high-wire razor-act-ness about themselves. I saw a stat that they won their 3 games by an average of 4.0 points - which was 32nd in the NFL. Not going to win the division by an average of a 4.0 win per game margin.

All good teams have the ability to move downfield at the end of a game. Our team in particular is built to play in lots of close games so where is the emphasis? You can see by the quick decisions to dump the ball off that something isn't right.
We have Marshall who should be money in the 2 minute but lets say they take him away, we should still be able to work with Bess underneath and Fasano against a safety. Running backs should only be an option if the defense sends minimal rush, in which case there should still be plenty of time for Henne to let something develop down field. Something isn't right here and it has been going on for a while now. Even against a good defense we should be able to convert at least one first down. |
