ROOK’S RECAP 9.0-10.0
2 for 1 SPECIAL
“I’m on a roll, I’m on a roll this time
I feel my luck could change.”
-Radiohead THE LEAD ITEM: TWO WORDS: Jason.
Taylor Jason Taylor and the Dolphin D are
playing amazing right now. That’s why morale in Dolphin country is high. Who’d a
thunk it? 3 wins in a row and our luck is most certainly changing. Taylor
returned an INT for a TD for the second time in three weeks. That gives him
seven for the career, tying George Martin for most ever by a Defensive Lineman.
Get this man a Ring!! Let’s not be known as the team that has the best players
ever who don’t win rings. Because when all is said and done, this man’s head
will be bronzed in the hall. THE GAMES
Home games are the ones you’re supposed
to win, so it’s good to see the Dolphins winning them. But there’s no doubt the
offence needs work. When you win a game in the NFL with -3 total rushing yards,
that’s not called a win, that’s called a miracle!!! If I have to read another
reporter or analyst describe Miami’s offence as sputtering, I’m gonna go crazy.
My car sputtered, the old lady with the walker in my apartment building
sputters. But in order to drop the sputter stigma, Joey and Co. has to do more.
At least more than they did the past 2 weeks. So sit back and relax Dolphin D,
dinner’s on Joey. FINAL SCORES: MIAMI 13 KANSAS CITY 10 MIAMI 24 MINNESOTA 20 Cheers to:
(VS CHIEFS) Time of Possession. 35:30. Best ball control of the season Jeers to:
(VS CHIEFS) Ronnie “fumble” Brown Cheers to:
(VS VIKINGS) The fins for avenging Daunte vs. his old party-boat pals.
Jeers to:
(VS VIKINGS) Time of Possession 24:00. Worst ball control of the season Ally’s All
Star Dolphin: Jason Taylor for both games.
Dawg-o-Meters: 8 for both games. THE GAME OUTSIDE
THE GAME
Truth be told I’ve missed the last two
games. I viewed the Miami/KC game on nfl.com’s Gamecenter. I know every hardcore
fan has had to resort to these measures at some point or another. Did you know
they air live commercials now! Right in that little Gamecenter window! Why not
just air the game on the net. The little football on the field disappears for
streaming video of American commercials. It’s crazy. For the second game, I went
to The Oasis Sports bar but they wouldn’t put the Fins fame on. They told me all
the TV’s were in use. So I came home and watched the Shed Cam. (sigh) I miss the
shed. But judging the score by the reactions of the Sheddawgs is more fun than
watching a little football move back and forth. That’s all I got to say about
that. Melanie’s
Quotes of the Week: (VS CHIEFS) Channing Crowder should be in da
Shed: “At the end
of the season last we went on a winning streak and we’re starting to play better
and cranking it up now. Hopefully, we can win out.” (VS VIKINGS) Joey asked if he’s ever played
with a guy like JT: “Nope. Nope. Nope. I don’t have
anything else to say. He is invaluable to this football team. Who does that? I
mean really, who does that? He’s like Austin Powers. JUNGLE JIM’S PLAY
OF THE GAME (CHIEFS GAME) Flea Flicker to Chris
Chambers. 46 yards to set up a Ronnie Brown 1 yard TD! (VIKINGS GAME) Jason Taylor's Int returned for a TD. Second
Int for a TD in three weeks! Sealed the win for the Dolphins.

Shed Dawg Neil ON THE GRILL Shed Dawg Chili TWID: November 19th, 1989 Miami defeats Dallas 17-14 in Shula
Bowl IV, as Don Shula extends his record to 4-0 in Shula vs. Shula contests.
This time Shula was opposed by son Dave, the Assistant Head Coach of the
Cowboys. The win also was the Dolphins' sixth win in their last seven games and
moved them into a first-place tie with the Buffalo Bills atop the AFC East. That
same week Michael J.Fox returned as MARTY Mclfy in Back to the Future II. The
best of the trio if you ask me. Power outage: ESPN: 21st (Last Week 25th)
They almost certainly dug too big a hole to make the playoffs,
but the Dolphins are going to be a team that nobody wants to play in the second
half. Mount Pearl Game
