1989 week 2 Dolphins at Patriots

walked on the moon and following the 69 football season Don Shula moved from Baltimore to Miami where he opened his first season losing to the Boston Patriots funny did reverse the fortunes of the young Miami franchise quitting back-to-back Super Bowls last week Shula began his 20th season in Miami with a heartbreaking last-second loss is Jim Kelly scored for Buffalo with time running out today Miami comes to New England to face former Shula player Raymond berry whose Patriots won their opener in the final two minutes over the New York Jets NBC Sports for incense the National Football League it's the Miami Dolphins versus the New England Patriots it's a cool damp day in New England and it rained most of yesterday's so the track will be a slippery one in Foxborough today good afternoon everybody and welcome to Sullivan stadium along with Paul McGuire I'm Joel Meyers and today the Patriots tried to make it two in a row while the Dolphins will Paul they're trying to bounce back from a devastating loss last Sunday and they'll have to do it with her without their starting to inside linebackers from last year Mark Brown and the quarterback of their defense last year John Offerdahl Joel I can understand why Mark Brown is not here he's negotiating a new contract on the other hand John Offerdahl is in the option year of his contract he is being fined $1500 a day and I don't know how you make that up the last preseason game of the year the Buffalo Bills played Atlanta on the plane ride back Jim Kelly came up to me after the game and said next week we payment play Miami did our Ford all sign today I said no he said I hope he stays out until the end of the season because they are not as good on defense with offered all in there he is their captain he is their leader and he needs to be here the New England Patriots come in today with a seven-game winning streak over the Miami Dolphins and Paul is that a huge psychological advantage for Raymond berry squad I think it is you know before Miami controlled New England and when they did that doing the thought well we have been jinxed we can't beat Miami no matter what we do now there's m17 strength doing that feels hey it's not that we have a jinx on Miami yes that we are a better football team than Miami Dolphins are the teachers on your left the student on your right Don Shula former coach of the Baltimore Colts what Raymond Barry was his gifted wide receiver Barry played for Shula from the 63 367 seasons the final five years of Brandon Barry's career Hampton and Logan back deep waiting for the opening kickoff from the Patriots Greg Davis were just about underway from New England good to have you with us in Foxborough not quite a sellout on this cool overcast day and here we go the Dolphins ready to receive it will be Troy Stratford the two [Music] that is Hampton answered across the 25 he's up to the 29 yard line a 27 yard return brought down by the reserve quarterback Eric Coleman offensive line for the Miami Dolphins today gallon Bach is going to started the left tackle position his replacement will be the rookie from Ohio State at the center spot you'll reneik in the backfield with Moreno at Stratford brown the wide receivers Clayton and duper and the tight ends Farrell Edmonds is coming off a great rookie season when they go to the poor wide receiver alignment Jensen will be in the backfield Stratford want the slots Andre Brown the other slot and it appeared that Sammy Smith is getting the start Sammy's fit gets his start as the tailback his first career carry and a big one at that Sammy Smith looking like the back we saw last week Paul Jarnell Williams all the way across the midfield stripe a 21-yard game Jonah this play is designed to go to the right with the Miami offensive line but when Sammy Smith gets the ball he sees that the hole is not there and he will cut it back to his left he is 6 to 225 pounds watches Brown is down front blocking he doesn't have to worry about blocking Williams Brent Williams number 96 misses the tackle and then you see the strength and the speed of Sammy Smith it's been a long time since the Dolphins had a running attack here's the young man they're hoping their for bring it all back to them one of the backfield late their motion countered his step [Applause] still on his feet he is so tough to bring down gets three yards on the carry down to the 47 let's look now at the new england patriots defensive starting unit today their front seven has Simms goat and williams the linebackers George Reynolds rembert mcgroove and in the secondary one of the best secondaries in the AFC first is getting the start today due to the injury to explain play born James and Marian Paul they've been together a long long time and they know which what each other does and with McSwain in there I think if they would be a little bit better Smith takes a breather Tom Brown and Troy Stratford split the back field behind Marino on second and seven from the 47 [Applause] the hands are brown it's incomplete the Vig applied by the inside linebacker ed Reynolds it will bring up third and seven some of the keys today for the Miami Dolphins well they've had great pass blocking for a number of years now for Dan Marino they have that NFL record of 13 straight games without a sack of Marino on the other side though Paul a super balanced attack last week for the New England Patriots in that win over the New York Jets - the key matchup Marino cookie picking on that rookie quarterback they've got to get to Marino they've got a hurry him they may not sack him but they have to hurry and the Dolphins defensively today they've got to stop the running attack of John Steven Salvador when Patriots [Applause] 37 the fall at the Patriots 47 yard line with Marino working of the shotgun for wide receivers and Jensen in the backfield [Applause] Andre Brown for a first down into the 32 yard line Eric Coleman the dime package in there is yester defensive back making the hit a 13 yard completion tell you much of one thing getting in Marino's face talked to Tom Flores who coached the Raiders and this is the one coach that Shula could not beat was for Eason for he said we never really tried to sack Marino our job was to get into his face and make him hurry a pass then he'll make a mistake but to think that you're going to get to him with his strong release of course release it's almost impossible first and ten for the Dolphins outside of the Patriots 32 yard line with Clayton in motion Smith on the gift he breaks he that is exactly he's got his other first down inside the 20 to the New England 18 yard line you can't get up with the first one ball he just ran out of the arms of Kenneth Sims you know going the Patriots facing the Dolphins the last seven times have not seen a running back like Sammy Smith he just does not stop his legs never stop to play here you're gonna see sim 77 come up not watch he gets him here he has him in the backfield but he didn't wrap his arms around him went when Sammy Smith saw this he just broke to the outside and you can see it's a speed that he has when he out grandma grew Smith gets a break they bring back in Troy Stratford his third year out of college he lines up in the I the I tom brown first attend to the Dolphins outside the Patriots a team in Stratford to the 15-yard line Sydney like Julis comment yesterday what we may place a me Smith we like to get him in a little bit he seems to retain some of some of the stuff we gave in the training camp in before that he started the ball he also said to us in our meeting with Don Shula yesterday that if Sammy looked good in the early going we'd spot him regularly throughout the course of the game I think this may be a tough day for Troy Radford trying to get in there regularly he's in there now with Tom round the backfield second and seven situation for 15 yard line impressive driving dolphins their own 29 yard line [Music] off the fingertips of Stratford incomplete Johnny Redford their inside linebacker providing the coverage and he may very well be their best linebacker due to the injury to Andres hip and even Andre Tippett we were sitting there talking him yesterday said this is the guy you want to take a look at Johnny Rembert and I know that Rembert was you know in the shadows of tippet for a long long time they found out that of course the Patriots do it but other people that they play are going to realize that this is a great linebacker they bring in their dime package two extra defensive backs of Sydney secondary along seven from the 15-yard line [Applause] the shotgun into the end zone Clayton's got it touchdown Miami [Applause] fifteen yard completion from Marino to Clayton the Dolphins are on the board on their opening drive of the day Joel I'd love for a moment that Marino was going to throw it a balla Jensen because Jensen had beaten the linebacker and he was wide open but when he looked outfield he had clayton wide open in the middle of the field you're going to see Jensen can be opened areas open there but take a look at where Marino throws the ball there's just no chance for the defensive secondary Rodney rice number 43 to get there Steve 39 straight games with a catch for Mark Clayton Miami Dolphin record Pete's Toyota in for the extra point try he's still the Dolphins driving in 81 yards make that 71 yards sir on the board we'll be right back to Foxborough with Miami leading New England in the early going didn't take long for the Miami Dolphins to get on the board only three minutes and 29 seconds at the first quarter I'm Joel Meyers along with Paul McGuire welcome back to the Sullivan Stadium in Foxborough Massachusetts ins Paul the key to that drive was the running of Sammy Smith he set it all up if Sammy Smith both big runs that he had he was stopped really it could if the line of scrimmage were in the backfield but with his strength and speed it gives a whole new life to Miami offense thirty-nine straight now for Mark Clayton coming off a brilliant campaign last year he caught 86 passes a dolphin record Sammy Martin back deep along with the rookie rodney rice for the patriots his story out of it gets into it and booms away a beauty it'll be taken to the goal line by mark spun down crossing the 25 he's down at the 26 yard line that's where the Patriots will get it for the first time today pensively for New England offensive line as Mike Babbitt the middle former member in the Cleveland Browns an affair very good center in the backfield Stevens in ferryman the starting tailback and fullback Morgan Jones the wide receivers and a big tight end is Lynn Dawson now when the Patriots good they're poor white out of line but the ringin Hartly dikes the rookie from Oklahoma State and they always dangerous Irving friar John Stevens the single set as they go with three wideouts on first and ten from their own 26 yard line he gave a couple by Stevens the second year man out of Northwestern Louisiana States Washington with an outstanding start today against the Philadelphia Eagles the team we saw last week ball looks so impressive against the Seattle Seahawks Dallas and Orleans already on the board as well their games with Atlanta and Green Bay Tony Eason in a passing situation on second and eight of his own 28 yard line Stephens on the Gary see not much the 29 of that is all defensively let's look at the starting alignment the Miami Dolphins the front three they went with last year is back again this year led by TJ Turner dissociate and cross the linebackers graft Aaron's Clark and Hugh green graph the youngster of that group in his third year after the secondary Langford Oliver along with Johnson and Williams and Don Shula told us yesterday Paul really impressed with the two safeties the second year man Williams and the rookie Lewis Oliver and he loves the way they hit you do part severs in the backfield on 37 AC in trouble he's on his way down first sack of the day put all foods Jeff cross getting a sacrifice Eric Kerberos as well in their goober Oh second year out of Ohio State cross it slowed them down and goober all cleaned up yeah give credit to the defense of secondary no place for Tony Eason to throw the ball all right Kumba row is their number ninety and then cross comes in and finishes him up I thought for a second that the official was going to call in the grass when Coomer Oh had him first Jeff Eagles into punted away a former hurricane from Miami [Music] backbeat for the Dolphins they put in Troy Stratford and now they're going to go to fake punt and it's over as low to the Dolphins we'll get it an exceptional field position inside the Patriots 20 yard line as they were looking for Sammy Martin on the trick play Sammy Martin was open I mean he was wide open on the outside Dingles well we know one thing he can't do and that's throw we know it's a pun but it can't grow Sammy Martin is to the right of your screen he goes gets the bats and this was called all the way take a look there Sammy Martin and he was wide open there's no question about it Ernest Gibson wasn't even close safe to say be momentum is going in a big direction of the Miami Dolphins right now first and ten at the New England 20 Sammy Smith in the eye behind Tom Brown with Mark Clayton in motion Smith on the [Applause] only gets two after almost said he's done to the 18-yard line but he sure can figure his money's worth along the way Johnny revered Kabbani for the stop along with Maurice hers she sees Breton wave number 96 he said I've got you know I don't have it didn't even get his hand on him I think the key for Sammy Smith is this when he came into camp even though as late as he did come in Joel he was in perfect physical condition and ready to play Paul he runs like a tailback and he hits people like a fullback got a level second date now with the ball at the 18 yard line [Music] too late as any Smith what's this time near the sixteenth and that is all the end of two more wrapped up by ed Reynolds the inside linebacker from Virginia in his seventh season the dolphin offensive attack has been missing a ground game for a long long time now and what a dangerous situation would be for Miami for their offense if they had Marino's passing with a better-than-average running attack well they've got that running attack now against Sammy Smith this is just he just knows a few plays if you look at the place or a call for him they were basically two off tackle plates he's turned into good guarding third and a long six close to seven Jensen the only one to the backfield Marino working with four wide receivers up the shotgun he goes up the middle he's got Julie Jensen out of the backfield touchdown Miami Joe on her last play to Clayton he had Jensen open again now he beats rembert for the second time and he had to come back and tell Moreno and they saw from upstairs that I can handle rembert I can get inside I can get outside of it doesn't make any difference because you're trying to cover me 101 now here's Jensen number 11 watch the movie makes a remembered remembers waiting for him to go inside he just Jukes him outside then comes right back in touch down just like you draw it up story on a pitch in for the extra point try right through the middle the fans in Foxborough stunned by the developments 7:45 left in the first quarter and a dolphin's at 5:14 Niccolo one taste will tell you why the night belongs to me Cologne by today's shovel a who invites you to see why nobody's winning like the heartbeat of America and bye-byes 505 and 506 jeans [Music] ha foggy day in New England with the dolphins aren't - fog is Dan Marino with a couple of early touchdown passes that last one Paul - Jim Jensen the guy who does just about everything at all of a sudden after catching the touchdown he's right back there on the special teams Jim Jensen is played every skilled position in the Miami offense and he could probably play line but lineman if they asked him and I know he would Sammy Martin back deep once again waiting to kick off from Stoyanov itch along with Rodney Wright's 745 left in the first quarter and the Dolphins lead up by 14 he will be Martin at the 4 across the 30 he's dripping down there the 35 yard line another look at that last score is Jensen beat the linebacker rembered they're going to have to give rembert some help because he's got to cover Jensen all by himself and when you look in the middle of the screen right there it's it's rembert one-on-one on Jensen in the past is perfect San Marino was out here Joel two hours is 15 minutes before this game walking in street clothes up and down this field and he knows today he can beat New England Patriots whether it happens at the end the game or not will have to wait Erin and John Stevens split in the backfield they switch Dawson the tight end on first and ten outside of the 34 Stevens he gets it across the 33 Pro gain of a little bit better than for the Raiders on a touchdown reception by Mervyn Fernandez lead by six long run by Gerald Riggs Hellsing Eagles with 13 to nothing the lead or rather the Redskins to a 13 to nothing lead over the Eagles Troy Aikman with his first career touchdown passes 65 yarder to Michael Irvin and the Saints not a touchdown sauce by Bobby air bear also at the lead second and six for the ball outside of the New England 33 Stephens again cross second year out of the University of Missouri right now Miami is just sitting there waiting on Stevens I mean there's just no question about it he said in New England Patriots are going to have to fall put the ball up top now I don't whether you run a play-action pass well Stephens is going out right now they're gonna bring in their shotgun package but you've got to throw the ball play-action run a screen do something to get that defensive line and linebackers spread out a little bit they go is do part Erik severs the tight end in the backfield three wide receivers flank donford Tony Eason on third and long Eason in trouble down again second sack of the day for the Dolphins it goes to the linebacker David Frye you think they wanted just a little bit they wanted a whole lot you know they had Buffalo a week ago with about four minutes ago at 11:11 points ahead and lost a game look at the coverage you want to know what makes great pass defense and makes it easy for the defensive lineman to get to the passers when you have coverage like this no place to throw the ball the defensive lineman's better get to the passer New England ready to punt it away with Jeff Eagles Troi Stratford his third year from Boston College to homecoming of sorts for that young man winning back at the Dolphins 25-yard line oh snap and fathered by the putter he's ad libbing and it's another fourth down incomplete and it softens we'll get it but Kenny was trying to go to Sammy Martin but not by design there may not be anybody here at halftime if they keep playing like this Biggles now this was not designed he was going to fund Bernie fryers over there calming him down just say hey just look it relax wait a minute the ball was low Biggles are saying I didn't have a chance at it but instead of throwing the ball you should be able to kick on the run he's got to get the ball out of there that's twice they've given Miami the ball inside the 30-yard line and now they go to work again they didn't plan on beagles passing today but he's already over to that area brown and Stratford split the backfield on first intent the 29 it goes to duper and into first down the Dolphins inside the 15-yard line well when you have all day to throw the ball that's different here's the punt now look where the snap goes it goes on the ground he goes have to pick it up and that's what he's mad about now when he's running he should stop but try to kick the football instead of trying to throw the ball downfield we know he doesn't have the arm we're waiting to see if he has the leg been a tough day for the special teams for the New England Patriots first in 10 for the Dolphins Marino's waiting for a call but Moreno has all the time in the world they had three men actually covering duper at that time and he waited until duper got split the zone got open and then hit him with the ball Sammy Smith is inserted into the lineup once again along with Tom Brown on the back it Brown the full-back plugs his way inside the 15 close to the 13 yard line I had rattled they're saying he was already down Patriots were looking for a fumble Joel Joel Sammy Sammy Smith not only can he run but he took Raymond Claiborne off the field with a block bees call it second and nine now for Miami alright here's the play and Brown goes he sees that there's no room on the outside so he cuts back up to the inside head Reynolds is there to make the stop Brown is down there just wrastling the ball away whistle to blown Marino four four six so far for 58 yards and two touchdown passes he's got one over 99 on his career now Marino into the corner force v throw it away with pressure and pressure coming in cannons him Hearst is out there and that's Clayton number 83 coming and he runs a post corner and look at Hearst coverage there's just no place for Marino to throw the ball but watch where he throws it Joel out of bounds waste the play this at least come away with three he's looking at seven again he was working on the rookie cornerback who's getting his first career start today Maurice Hurst out of southern but again he has all that time to have a wide receiver run a post in a corner [Applause] all just inside the 15 Jensen blankie Moreno in the shotgun they scored on a similar situation going to Jensen on third down in the end zone for duper [Applause] that time Raymond Claiborne was providing the coverage have you ever seen a quicker release from any quarterback than Dan Marino not at all and that's why I'm saying you don't try to sack him just get into his face and rush him but take a look where this ball is thrown the only person who has a chance even though Claiborne is their number 26 the only got it had a chance to catch the ball was duper unfortunately it was out of the end zone dolphins will try to go up by seven gene could start today for Dan Marino stoy yana out of the hold of scott seat fuels the trade 31 yard field goal attempt it was one for one last week was taken to through two on the season now a 31-yard field goal for Stoyanov itch and the Dolphins lead the Patriots by 17 week it was the New England Patriots it scored on their first three possessions of the game they had a 21 to nothing halftime lead over the New York Jets in their season opening victory the tables are turned now though in Foxborough the Dolphins just got a 31-yard field goal from Pete's Toyota bitchin now Paul the first three times Miami touches the ball they get points on the board it's amazing how well defenses play when you're up 14 and then up 17 points we'll see in this Drive here the winger has to throw the football Mike and rice back deep it'll be Sami marked at the goal line [Applause] [Music] he's dragged out across the 25 by JB brown the reserve quarterback at the 27 yard line on the scores around the NFL the Chiefs taken the lead over the Raiders in Kansas City another touchdown for the Washington Redskins they are booing Issa New Orleans two touchdowns in the early going with a 14 to nothing lead over Green Bay what was it John Hannah said we were told just a few weeks back if he took the talents of Tony Eason to the heart of Doug Flutie you'd have a great quarterback I'm glad you said that bursting 10 outside of the 26 for doing but they're down by 17 play-action wide open mortgage [Applause] 23-yard game and mortgage two things happen when you run play action it holds the linebackers that's one and it slows down the rush of the defense now here comes Stanley Morgan on Langford now Langford is looking for some help on the inside he does not get it Stanley Morgan picks up the first down at the 50 yard line Morgan has done it from so long and so well in his 13th year out of Tennessee first intent for New England that's Robert Perryman Hannibal bot for close to the 46 yard line of Miami the first time the Patriots had the ball big dolphin territory but I still think they've got to get really you know it's a long way to go there's 248 and Counting in the first quarter and there are three more quarters to go but they've got to make something happen on this series of downs whether it be get the field or and touchdown and I think by doing ask doing that it's going to be play-action passes and look to the outside Eric severs comes in hurting fire in the first time as well he's in the slot second in six by using you can't skate down once again Paul they start the year with four quarterbacks inactive today is their fourth quarterback Mark Wilson but Bradbury was telling us yesterday he looks back to what happened to Cleveland last year they had to go to their bullpen that's right you know this defensive secondary does a great job but take a look at the blocking now when you take a look at it Eason there on so Shane here there's no problem with the blocking babs got him along with Ferrell but the thing about it is that the coverage was so great downfield that Eason had to throw the ball away he did the smart thing big third down very critical one even though there's still 223 left of the first third the long six Aysen over the phone now that hands who fire and after what we saw in practice yesterday with her being prior not dropping a punt out of the machine they use here at Sullivan stadium hard to believe he couldn't hang on to that one there's some heat on the ball the ball was high but if you hit your hands take a look at here comes to distance the secondaries covered that's Rodney Thomas number 24 but look at that ball is hit hits Irving fryer right in the hands should not drop it you think think he's got a punt or pass over to I think he'll try the other way so low snap again is transferred waits for the dolphins bagels it's the bronze pure on that one taking them to seven it rained all day yesterday sloppy voting today in New England be right back to Foxborough with the Dolphins in control you know joy you said in the opening it was a slippery track watch this Troy Stratford rained yesterday didn't rain this morning they didn't vacuum the track look at his feet that's water chute enough folks that dolphin would have done well with flippers that last time first to 10 to 16 for Miami they've got a 17 point lead Marina with time again with big side and Farrell Edmonds he's across the 40 near the 41 yard line working the strong safety role in James Edmonds coming off a brilliant rookie campaign he caught 33 last season that was good for 25 yards you say he was open or a wide over little I'm telling you now you only got it was close to him was rolling James Fred Meyer and the other safety came over to help I don't know who was supposed to be covered him I know it couldn't be just a linebacker unless James got caught up in the crossing patterns first and ten for the dolphins again as time at their own 40-yard line they come on the I was Sammy Smith Tom Brown Mark Clayton motion head won't get away this time Brent Williams the offensive right tackle getting up and hanging on for the New England Patriots well that time Sammy Smith did a little bit too much of the dancing and that's probably not having the confidence in the offensive line not saying at the offensive line they're not doing the job Joe but he hadn't been back there with these guys and knowing what they're going to do you've got to have confidence in the line you've got to go where the hole is designed if it's totally closed then you can make some moves Boston to brings up second and 12 back at the 38 yard line [Applause] the brown [Applause] it goes to Clayton hope you call that a Kentucky two-step he's down to the 40 yard line Tim Jordan and head Reynolds the two linebackers collaborating to get plate first the pass was short all right and then Clayton they just converged on plate there was no place to go and after he got done doing that two-step he decided I better pick up two or three yards that I could possibly get go England going to their dime package six defensive backs and they also bring in Gary Jeter their pass rushing specialist of Plan B free agent signing from the Los Angeles Rams Jim Jensen he only wanted the backfield with Moreno Stratford and he's the game as well the slot man it appears that Moreno is audible izing now third a little bit better than nine flags up at the air is Moreno throws it away this is how you get to Moreno symphysis Aries in his face you're not going to sack him I talked to Andre tippet yesterday about about Sackett Moreno he said you know I got to him twice in one game which has got to be a league record an intestinal Football League he said but it's almost impossible motion offense number 65 Henley is declined fourth down all right Kenneth Sims number 77 and he's going to come in and he's the guy that's going to put the pressure on Marino he sees rembert coming in from the left side but since the guy that was actually in his face and you forced him to throw the ball away regi Robi with his first punt of the afternoon with 19 seconds left of the first quarter Irving fryer waiting for the Patriots at the 16 yard line Roby wobbles out a line drive it takes a dolphin hop had a good bounce for Miami now inside the ten-yard line is where the Patriots will get it much better in the past huh Reggie knows what to do with it when it comes back there Reggie Roby one of the best putters in the NFL that was good for 50 yards about 30 through the air and another 20 on the roll he only had one punt blocked in his entire careers Roby and it's his seventh season down at the University of Florida that only blocked him back in his rookie campaign he's also the only hunter in the Legion where's of watch which I like you know in case he has to make a phone call or something he has knows what time it is at all times as a former putter Falls did you try to angle them out of bounds did you ever alter your position in the backfield when you were punting the ball trying to get it in the tenure inside the 10-yard line always but with Reggie Roby he can get the ball up to hang time to get coverage down there where's do Jan for ease of the Patriots [Applause] the first down for the Patriots of these 79 receptions of the 27 near the 28 yard line that'll be the final play of the first quarter and what a quarter it was for Miami at Sullivan Stadium the Dolphins on top by 17 well what'd he say he said passes 17 to nothing lead over the New England Patriots and welcome back once again Joel Meyers along with Paul McGuire Don Shula said to us yesterday the worst regular season setback he's ever experienced that we really didn't know how they'd respond today Paul he thought his team would respond very well he said they took it hard but they they pointed out all the good points in the game against Buffalo a week ago and they're proving it today one of the classiest gentlemen in the game Don jewel in his 27th season ahead coach is 20th with Miami Dolphins he's in the final year of his contract with I don't think there's any doubt Paul that he'll always be at Miami I would think so he said on first and ten Dawson as his first completion in the year two inside ends lagged out of the play we're close to the first down marker they did not go to Titan once last week in the fifteen completions by Eason Raiders regaining the advantage of her Kansas City Eagles finally on the board and our advocate in Washington passing number 87 10-yard penalty replay the down first down not a lot going right so far for the New England Patriots as they called Austin on the push off Dawson went down field and you can't push up and Easton do you think it's been just standing back to throwing the ball watch this even after you throw watch what happens and he just gets nailed underneath can't stand around pal not in this game it's got a hit and run moves first in 20 now like a boxer throw and get out of there I know you're quick on your feet though first in 20 with a bottle the 18 yard line Irving fryer in the contest in motion Eason had to hurry and he goes demorgan's he's out of bounds across the 2017 and of close to 10 what I like about that play is it all right you got penalized now it's first to 20 get half of it back don't try to get it all the Dolphins dominated the first 15 minutes of play and the numbers indicate that 131 yards to only 51 for New England what really stands out those 44 yards on the ground you bet that's Sammy Smith vomit second and 11 now with the ball outside of the Patriots own 27 yard line Stephen ceylon what the backfield prior in motion even with all day dumps if receivers across the 30 he's got it the 32 yard line gain of 5 on the reception Dave Aaron's the linebacker coming up a plane they hit from Miami when you look at Eason and not like Marina marina will stand in there he has to confidence it as offensive line and also in his arms he said you look at his feet they're moving all the time happy feet you bet he's got him Eason is now 4 of 6 for 53 yards and receptions [Music] Rosita - poof former trojan from USC in the backfield for the first time he said working on the shotgun on third going to the by Lewis Oliver the free safety the interception although he's looking downfield like his receiver Morgan turned in when he wanted to go to the sideline there's they're blaming Easton but the problem is that they had a free linebacker and I think it was prior three coming right up the middle and Easton had to get rid of the football now when you're throwing downfield Stanley Morgan he was looking for Stanley but he had to throw the ball away the problem is he threw it to the wrong man which is Oliver who dropped the ball that's another reason why Oliver's on defense and not a receiver bagels and a bunt he's been on the field three times today unfortunately for the Patriots he's thrown the ball twice will be his second puppy afternoon with flags up in the air Stratford waits for the highest pyro he's got at the 28 yard line this is a free run because the wing that was moving they were in motions is out of bounds at the 35 yard line now refused this penalty because they have the ball at the 35 I don't think they'll make him kick again well of course with Jeff Eagles it's excitement when he kicks or he gets back to her so at this game doramin berry he's not very happy what next is the look on his face Fowler was motion a legal motion offense Henley is decline first down salmon to the field when we come back the Dhawan's will have it first and 10 at their own 35-yard line 17 to nothing there's a lot of frustration watch mostly 2-tuple at the end of this play number 30 here comes the elbow actually in there trying to get the ball but get a little cheap shot lower there huh first and 10 for the Dolphins their own 35-yard line they set up the screen to the tight end evidence [Music] he's got 5 on the reception it'll bring up second and five from the 40 yard line Auto Fame coach Don Shula he's only suffered one setback following an opening day lost but that one setback last year with essentially the same personnel I was here when it happened it wasn't pretty they've lost seven straight to the New England Patriots and the last time these two teams got together Paul it was last November at Joe Robbie a six to three win for the New England Patriots and how many times do you hold Dan Marino to only three points well not today obviously 17 point lead Stratford Brown split in the backfield on second and five from the 14 Marino with time flags drop by Stratford where the flag was thrown you'd have to think it's a holding goal I think they had holy it gets me they're going to be on the neck or Galbreath number 62 there is no file on the plate third down well Rembert is trying to cover Stratford and Troy Stratford is wide open and he might still be running and here it comes look at rembert Trafford just goes back to the inside Remer is over committing himself he's got to get himself squared up the field but you can see Troy Stratford there there's just nobody in front of him he catches the ball about coming back with the same play but the Jets in this time [Applause] Jeter in there for the pass rush four wide receivers for Miami 35 dolphins with it at their own 40-yard line at Jensen the lone one of the backfield [Applause] remember the linebackers showing the Blitz he doesn't come though Moreno has played the dolphins have a first down and then some inside New England territory the Patriots 44 yard line brought down by Marian at Morrie's Hertz paraders by three over the Chiefs in Kansas City a 13 point lead for the Redskins Bengals by seven to the early going Dallas with a couple of touchdowns trying to bounce back from that loss to Orleans last Sunday and New Orleans on their way once again and Joe Moreno is throwing the ball as well as I've seen him fraud first to attend to the 44 Moreno now 8 of 14 107 yards he sends Clayton in motion the pitch play opposite side to Smith Smith does a good job to get a yard at the play tripped up by Johnny or embers let's go to Bob Costas now for an update NFL live all right Joel J Schrader injured for the Raiders a week ago comes back in at Casey first he hits Mervyn Fernandez for a touchdown this one three yards to trade Junkin they missed one of the extra points but it's Raiders 13 Chiefs 10 in the second quarter by the way Joel I'm sure your association with Paul has proved most educational unfortunately Bobby er you're accurate 11 minutes left in the first half second at 9 now the ball of the 43 Brown in the backfield with Lorenzo Hampton [Music] Moreno once duper [Applause] batted away by hearse they go after that rookie cornerback once again with flags down to the play they may have a roughing the passer call looked like the nose tackle got in there a little bit late Tim goes Tim goat number 72 hit Marino after he threw the ball but again personal foul roughing the passer defense number 72 15 yard thing about it is you're hitting him afterwards and he can't do that and they're not getting close to give credit to the Miami offensive line they are really doing a job now here's Marino going back Jim Gould is the guy that's going to end up number 72 but watch when he hits him the ball is gone now he hits Marino give that give the credit to the offense of mine they are doing a job and look at duper I don't you could have called anything down here but again each guy has as much right to the ball when it's in the air first and 10 now at the 28 yard line of New England Miami by 17 the counter to Stratford inside the 20 to the 19 yard line short the first down marker by about a yard tripped up by Maurice Hurst the right garden right tackle government that Ronnie lead just gets super blocks and that's where that hole is and you'll take into the center and they they're not worried about even though this young man is in there they feel that he can he can hold the position take a look to the left of the screen and you'll see the blocking Brown comes in he seals off he gets a great block on rembert number 36 Brown and they've gotten second and 2 double tight end set as they bring in Brian kitchen to join Ferrell Edmonds Stratford going for the first down has it he's got it to be 17 yard line Williamson goat combining for stop but a gain of two for Troy Stratford one of the biggest problems Joel of Miami has had in the past is with Marino they score so quickly that the defense is on the field defense couldn't hold teams you know yeah they're missing a couple of linebackers but you wouldn't know it today and that makes someone come to back to camp very quickly more on the defensive front now as they bring in the Aster defense event it's Milford Hodge this time not Gary Jeter on first and ten at the Patriots 17-round Stratford stay in the backfield [Applause] in Stratford that's a good job to get inside the 15 near the 13 yard line Sammy Smith makes Stratford a better runner you bet he does but as he comes a question whether you gonna lose your job or not you seem to run a lot better I really like what I see from Tom Brown in the early going as well Paulin he's a great stories missed the first two years of his career due to injuries but Don Shula told us yesterday he's not a speed burner by any means but he'll hit people he'll knock people down he's a sound fundamental player and made two important catches last week when they needed him ii m7 stratford taking it inside the 15 to the 14 yard line short of the first down by a couple of yards you know that time brown really didn't block anybody but what he did is he took rembert out of the middle so Stratford he's got back but remembers figures if they're gonna run the ball with Stratford he's going to be following Brown I think it where Brown is when he did at that time Brown setback for Stratford cut back to the inside Patriots bring in an extra defensive back let's take another look all right take a look at here comes Brown here but see when when he goes here everybody follows him Bradford cut back to the inside close to three with a bottle of ten Moreno to wide open Jim Jensen touchdown Miami Joe and number 200 for Dan Marino but Joe I am telling you I want to see it move the Jetson foots on Reverend it was unbelievable he faked to go inside because he had done it three times in a row and went to the outside and it was absolutely no one there what Jenson he'll go down he'll take Bremer to the inside no one Trevor he turns completely around and there's Jensen all you have to do is catch the ball it was incredible joy out of it out of the hold of Scott C cules his Moreno celebrates the touchdown the Dolphins with a third touchdown of the day is joy out of it perfect on the extra point and Miami continues to roll in New England seven minutes in 45 seconds left as a first half in Miami's now on top by 24 [Music] lately my first brands corporation makers of Prestone advanced formula antifreeze and by anheuser-busch we brew our fine quality beers to be enjoyed responsibly remember know when to save win [Music] it's a foggy day in New England and the Patriots definitely in a fog was 7:45 left in the first half stay out of it ready to get into it Sammy Martin and Rodney rice must feel like it's a track meet back there rice will get his first try of the day from the two [Music] down at the 20 and it looked like in the process with flags down Andreea proud may have gotten his hand up around the face mass of the return man Rodney rice I believe that is the call personal foul face mask number 88 on the picking came 15 yards first down go against my intention Lutz hide in you're not a happy person going east and again whoo you've just joined us Raymond berry took a big gamble very early in the game with the ball that his own 20-yard line ready to punt it away he tried a fake punt his fee goes through incomplete going through Sammy Martin first and ten quick one to Morgan near the first down marker at the 45 near the 46 yard line other stores around the NFL this tussle going on in Kansas City as the Jets go to the board first at Cleveland another touchdown for the Redskins they're rolling up right now on the Eagles Pittsburgh tried to rebound 51 to nothing set back last week of the Browns that is more devastating than the 2724 lost of Miami suffered last week second and a yard Stephens on the carry and he gets just enough of that first down he lunges a hit the 48 yard line brought down to the inside linebacker Greg Clark with that last reception by Stanley Morgan his fourth catch of the day for 60 yards he has just exceeded 10 thousand yard mark career receiving yards you know stake that against Reno the ball but Stanley Morgan I don't think we're going to stop it here they got a little Drive going they need some momentum 6 minutes 15 seconds left of the first half 24 the Duffy Thurston's into the paper to their own 48 he's a thousand time [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] it was by Jeff Ross [Music] quarterback has that much time they're bullying Easton I'm going to tell you what he did there was just no place to throw the football even though he had a time give credit to the defensive secondary in Miami and also the cross of the defensive lineman because they did they could have stayed in there let easy run around but they changed them and forced them into the sacks they're Bautista but it's better than the eat the ball than a throw an interception the only other good thing he could have done was throwing the ball out of bounds and throwing it downfield where no one could catch the ball so that was her pulling him because he got sex and he did have time to frost you but you've got to have someone to throw the ball to loss of three on the sack back to the 45 bringing up second and 13 [Applause] [Music] we're talking to people to do it Paul they said that he's and at times doesn't look off his primary early enough well that time he was going to throw the ball a friar and a phony problem is when every prayer went down Hugh Green and Greg Clark the two linebackers met him and he had no place to go and then he throws into double coverage they have a right to bull there's the backup Doug Flutie now it ISA goes back he's going to be he looks right first now he comes to fryer now when you see fryer first of all the balls thrown into the ground because he can't catch it but look at their two linebackers sitting on fryer on the shotgun at 13-13 buying severs get the first down as he 37 yard completion are they love them again Eric severs who played for so long with the San Diego Chargers last year with the Los Angeles Rams whose first year with the Patriots LAN beam free agent signing and the crowds going crazy over first down [Music] Tom Oliver Donnie the event of ghosts why could they do this last week in Miami but they did a great job last week I think he's turned his defense around first intently dolphin 37 off his own man you thought it was a lateral ball you thought it would have been a fumble but I looked like it was deflected possibly bailout of the Dolphins as well no Hugh Greene is out there what happened as he was trying to pull the ball down and when he's pulling the ball down that's not a throw that's a fumble and they should take a look at it alright Hugh Green has chased them now see he went to pull the ball down official gave the benefit of the doubt [Music] I think he's got happy feet now he's been rolling out of the pocket regularly and not by design second and 10 from the 37 three wide receivers working out of the shotgun got you today inside the 24 in New England first down to the Dolphins 18 yard line they are playing some defense into Miami's secondary is Stanley Morgan just hooked up watch what he does he comes downfield now he's going to cut back to the inside Paul Lankford is going to release him in there and look at Stanley Morgan gets beyond the defensive backs which is Jarvis Williams number 26 the safety that was a super pass three minutes and 47 seconds left in the first down the other quarterback Steve Grogan who sends in the plays for the New England Patriots first and ten for the 18 in the endzone intercepted by Bay with the interception they were going for a secret Oh dolphins will habitat the road 20 when we return to Foxborough now during the official throw the ball up for grabs at much Lankford Seabrook Jones's Aaron Langford just makes an excellent play now that is man-to-man coverage first and ten for the Dolphins at their own 20 Tom Brown took the carry from only a yarn while we were away Paul they were chanting fluting in the background what a quarterback change already in New England well I looked over there and he's not throwing so that means he's not coming in right now he may seem it to have that was the first time that Eason had looked for ceedric Jones Dan Marino becoming the record older down as the earliest to reach the 200 Club Johnny Unitas the previous record holder in one over 21 games Marino in his 89th career start today second and nine its Jensen close to the burrs down when in doubt when in trouble look for number 11 yeah now they've got an inside linebacker bits and brown and supposed to be covering all jets it does is delays here watch what he does she'll come down the line of scrimmage and he'll wait for a second till it's cleared out and then he comes underneath the linebackers there is Robert making a tackle from the other side but Vincent Brown number 59 was supposed to have had him Don Shula told us yesterday they didn't really think of Jensen that much as a wide receiver until last year and all of a sudden 58 catches he does everything so well he's the wing man on the hit with the tight end he goes in motion is Orton first down into the secondary Stratford with flags down the play at the 45 yard line we're gonna have Holdings Roy Foster almost ran off the field he said no no no if you're calling her and no no don't you look like a running back getting out of there he is really upset foster holding offense number 61 10-yard penalty repeat the down third down no wonder he looked like a dancing bear after the play oh there's Roy Foster and now he's the left guard and he said no no no the left guard left your right on the screen for the center now here comes he pulls out and that's variant he grabbed him he grabbed Mary and there's just no question about it he wrapped his arms around him you're allowed to get your arms in his chest he did not do that and it was a good call by the official we have reached the two-minute warning at Sullivan Stadium it's been all Miami so far bro Joel Meyers along with Paul McGuire upsetting some of the other scores the Eagles starting to make a comeback against the Redskins still in the first half of play at RFK sango started to pull away from his dealer Dallas with a four-point advantage in Green Bay gets on the board against New Orleans as we return with two minutes left of the first half Italy Thursday looks better than tense the all-purpose back Jensen lining up with Marino so work out the shotgun Stratford will go in the slot Marino 10 through 16 so far hundred in 26 yards and three touchdown passes he's got two hundred on his career now it's over the duper's and it's on first down for Miami pulled it off in front of Raven Claiborne 300th career catch for Mark duper's on that reception at halftime to the podcast and at halftime we'll go to Bob Costas and OJ Simpson with all the scores and highlights around the NFL and a feature on over and the three bears Hampton Van Horn and Anderson that I dunno suspense first and ten for the Dolphins Jensen again for another comes down Flags down to the play and that Blackberry late towards the end of the play the surprise package Jib Jensen now I don't know if that this one was on dullard back or not number 65 but it looked that but that flag was so late it's like it's like before practice Morita was thrown to Jenson holding offense number 65 10-yard Siddeley repeat the down first down Delon Bach is starting today he's usually the Dolphins starting Center but today he's over at the left tackle position I called him Donald Becker but I'm sorry Dallenbach he's right alright number 62 Dallenbach they're 65 excuse me and he is holding but there's Jensen again go right back to him why not well of course you can't now he's on the game first in 29th the Dolphins hot set their own 22 yard line Brown and Stratford in the backfield Tynan Farrell Edmonds wide open he won't go down finally does near midfield strong saftey finally bringing down ferrell Edmonds rollin James but not before a gain of 28 yards one thing that really stood out with Farrell Edmonds was his average last year a 17 yard average for a tight it says a lot you don't normally see if that high well you can see why it's working because on that last play no one was covering Farrell Edmonds and I'd like Tom Brown number 36 to pull back getting downfield he didn't get a block all he did was get in the way of people so the Farrell endless could pick up four yardage so they caught Roy Foster holding a couple of plays ago and here's Foster number 61 again now is he holding again well see they will allow to get your arm out slack the because hopefully at that point you can't get your arm around the defensive band and that was Brent Williams number 96 the very walls they caught me once they're not gonna look at me for a while remind everybody the Patriots missing three defensive starters three integral parts of their defensive unit all year long Garen buries the linemen Andre tip at the linebacker and Ronnie lipet the quarterback are al all out for the year on injured reserve and they dedicated this game to them today Jantzen first and ten at the 15 Moreno is completed his last five straight there's a minute in 29 seconds left in the first half with Miami leading by 24 Jensen the only want the backfield Moreno at plenty of time looking for plate man it's intercept to rolling James [Applause] idle pounds across the 45 with flags down to the play at the Northland 46 yard line [Applause] possibly a clip on that return Ronnie Lee ended up making the play out of bounds but that time Moreno went to the middle of the field and he also had Jensen in the flat because rembered he left him in the middle of the field he just tried to force one illegal block on return number 97 10-yard penalty first down James is just playing centerfield now you'll see Clayton come down now he goes to the middle of field Marian is there Fred Marian 31 but he knows he has helped to the inside 38 James is there just a timing pattern for the defensive back and that's where Marino tried to force one there's going to be a clip upfield and here comes Lee and he pushes him out of bounds it was called the number 97 Milford High he's in on 1st and 10 - Eric seniors Patriots with their full complement still of three timeouts left in the first half is exactly 60 seconds left in the first 30 minutes to play it brings up a second and six at the 40 there's fire in the open going to the sideline he's happy [Applause] when Easton has had time and the receivers are running down to get the zone defense all Miami they don't want to give up seven they'll give you three but they won't give you seven curving fryer is going to come down he's in the slot and he's just waiting to clear now he's ghost underneath the defensive secondary in front of the of the linebackers and the nickel backs and that was Rodney Thomas number 24 but the important thing was that Eason had time to throw the ball deepest penetration so far for New England Miami territory first intent for the 23 and it's trapped over on the far side falling incomplete wanted to go back to number 80 Irving fryer stops the clock with 42 seconds left of the verse down there they're putting letting Rodney Thomas play short and when you see something like that Rodney Thomas knows that he has helped deep now on the last play with Irving fryer caught the ball over the middle it was almost like a release but what happened wasn't the safeties didn't get up close enough again they were preventing the touchdown give me the short one all right so you get three they'll still be ahead 21 at half second and ten from the 23 stammers and do part of the backfield on the shotgunning so with time again Pat it down looking for Sammy Martin David fry the linebacker got his hands on the ball yo if you look at that last pattern now here's Eason breaking out to the outside Oh four receivers downfield were in the same area that brings all the defense of people in there and then Eason try to force it to the one man it was covered by two people made it easy for the Dolphins defensive secondary but again give credit to the defensive line because they're forcing deep easton out of the pocket to England only 105 on third down conversions this is a third and ten at the 23 into the end zone and overthrown by a good margin looking for Stanley Morgan Ernest gets in there Joe was Oliver again he's throwing to the only receiver that's covered by two people when that happens the other receivers are one-on-one coverage he is not looking at the one-on-one coverage guys ISA will be holding on the field goal try usually mark.wilson the fourth quarterback is the holder of the placements it'll be Easton today though Greg Davis but the Atlanta Falcons his last two seasons skills 19 of 30 last year for Atlanta this will be a 41-yard attempt they push it off to the right as he does mrs. the 41-yard bill Gold's rise and the Patriots still without points on the board you know Joel when the roof falls in get out of the way now they remember this is a new holder eason is not the normal holder for davis but that ball is just way wide alright now here's what I was talking about before take a look at the past coverages here now here you've got one on one coverage on the outside and that's Jones and that's Martin and that's Irving now let's take a look at the other side of the field excuse me that was Martin and Irving now here comes Stanley Morgan the only man that's double covered downfield now why would you want to throw the ball to him dan Marino takes his staff on the first Ben 10 live with what day three was a day down that'll be the bottom play of the birds desk a very forgettable one for the Northland Patriots and their fans well they say here in New England getting out of the stadium there's a traffic problem if this keeps up they'll be easy to get to the airport they're screaming for Flutie they have been since midway through the first half of play so the Miami Dolphins halfway there trying to snap a seven-game losing streak to the New England Patriots and the Dolphins dictated the tempo very early Paul with a balanced attack defense defense and they're playing extremely well they've got Eason totally confused it's halftime in Foxborough the Dolphins are in the driver's seat [Music] when they really had no chance with it you know just when things go bad they go totally bad and now there is the added dimension of the number one draft choice for the Miami Dolphins Sammy Smith in the backfield the number 9 selection overall of the most recent draft and what a bonus to have moreno passing and in the back of the mind of the defensive unit Smith in the backfield I think this is what really changed the game plan around defensively for doing them rank event Gilbert for a few years Miami just did not have the running attack all of a sudden Sammy Smith comes in and he makes two great runs on them and all of us is that doesn't even take wait a minute we know Moreno can pass and we were designed to stop the best but we are not designed to stop the run and when Sammy Smith did what he did it changes the momentum and the thinking of the New England offense looking now at the halftime numbers dolphins with 13 first downs a total of 237 yards of offense to only 154 for the New England Patriots and the one stat that jumps out at you Paul is the rushing yardage for the New England Patriots only 13 over the first 30 minutes of playing granted they had to go away from the running game of the second quarter but still John Stevens carried it for better than 1,100 yards last year the rookie running back who was the NFL's Rookie of the Year last season he has taken out of the game completely now because the defense took him out of the game see this is the other side of the coin Miami now they know that they can stop the deivis they went in to stop Stevens they did that but the problem is that Eason is not having the time to throw the ball so on a defensive side of the coin take a look at a defensive line and linebackers they're putting so much pressure not only on Stevens when he runs but also on Easton when he's throwing the ball which gives the secondary a chance to do whatever they want to do they call it the decision here in New England and it was the decision over the final two games of last year by Raymond Meredith switched back to Tony Eason after Doug Flutie in the stretch run had won five out of six games leading the Patriots and everybody thought New England was going to make it back to the playoffs they've missed it two straight years now as Eason split those final two games and they still talk about it because they'd like to see Doug Flutie back is the quarterback the fans would like to see Flutie back but you're not going to influence Raymond berry he's going to do things his way that's his job he's the coach he's going to make the decisions and a decision to throw on his first punt was his decision he will take the blame for Doug Flutie just like Tony Eason warming up on the sidelines for the start of the second half and a number of milestones reached by Dan Marino and Stanley Morgan as well in the first 30 minutes of play Dan Marino is setting an NFL record in his 89th game the fastest to reach the 200 plateau in career touchdown passes Marc duper taking in his 300th career reception at stanley market Morgan going over the 10,000 yard mark in receptions in Morgan one of the few bright spots in the first half for New England well Morgan showed up today so somebody kind of people I have not doing but we'll get the ball to start the second half trailing by 20 for Rodney rice and Sammy Martin that fair back there once again waiting for the kickoff room Pete's toy on a basically won the place-kicking job for Miami this year by default due to the injury to fodder of A's option my our option New England rather they can take it now 235 you'd have to think that's the direction they'll go in and they will take it first intent at their own 35-yard line reminder to our viewers will be selecting the Budweiser Most Valuable Player of today's game at the conclusion of the contest [Music] so he's in his back out there to leave the New England office and the booze coming from the stands once again through this linear sellout crowd don't open the second half of a single set of stephenson three wide receivers intonation that was so successful for them last week and those boos really get into your head I'm telling you it bothers ease stiva blood of the day for Stevenson a first down for New England for the 48 yard line Stephens the Rookie of the Year in the NFL last season with eleven hundred and sixty eight yards well they're gonna run right to Armstrong and Fairchild aside but you look at that first play now that's not going to determine this half but you got to believe that Raymond berry said hey we had a game plan coming in here and we know the Stephens can run and we know that most teams have been able to run against the Miami Dolphins so let's not get away with only 24 down if they scored 24 in the first half we can do that Miami had 17 in the first half 7 in the second curved 17 of the first watery seven to the second quarter as fire goes ooh motion on first and ten wide open secret Jones with his first rap of the day he had a career-high of eight receptions in the win over the Jets last week for one over 48 yards Jarvis Williams applying they hit the strong safety near the first down marker we may need a measurement no they'll say you got enough so when they talk about an important drive this is an important drivers I think for one reason to get this crowd back into the game back on their side right now they're on the Miami Dolphins side and totally against Eason basically and the Patriots first antenna P Miami 42 yard line three wide receivers once again and Stevens gets it Brucie takes it low inside the 40 at the 39 yard line by Dave Aaron's the inside linebacker with a plan B free agent signing [Music] Stephens the first round Nick last year Aaron's has played for a number of teams now with the st. Louis Cardinals also played with the Colts and the Lions before coming over to Miami and he's in that inside spot that would normally be occupied by either Offerdahl or Marc Brown second in 75013 I pick Tosca Morgan he's got the first down to the 30 [Music] well this plate you can move down the field with it until until the dolphins tighten it up William Justin 49 look how far off of Morgan he is he's almost 10 and then he's backing off to 12 there's no way that you green number 55 can get out there that fast because he has to look for run first and then past second so if you've given him that much leverage now take a look at the defensive secondary they are up on the line of scrimmage six receptions 88 yards for Stanley Morgan first and ten for New England at the Miami 30 Stephens on the gill tract sit inside the 27 near the 26 for a gain of four brought down by Brian soshe the nose tackle Brian Scioscia all he does is just slide down the line of scrimmage his job he knows that he can't get Stephens on the outside but his job is cutback Stephens cuts back so Jay is there watch him Barry comes down a line of scrimmage Babb is the center now watch what soshe does he gets rid of bad bang he's in the hole it is a two yard game but he did his job Reggie do part giving John Stevens the rest of the backfield as the single set second t7 from the 27 easy the reach of Stanley Morgan with blacks out of the plane [Music] they have not had a lot of luck going down field no they haven't and here we are again you're going you're moving the ball very well very well I got a face mask all but they're moving the ball very well and now trying to go for the home run why do that take what they're giving you you're in a situation you're down to 24 to nothing don't press it base man defense penalized half the distance to the goal line first down [Applause] Dave errands on the golf the inside linebacker well I don't know they didn't give a number Aaron sits way with his hands to get a defensive call I don't think he's gonna take credit and they didn't name a number of errors it's not a pot to say okay I did it first and 10 all the way down to the 14 yard line dude Bart stays in the backfield [Applause] for Morgan overthrown by easy [Music] the cushion on that side but they look like they rushed that play from the outset he rushed it now he's a right-handed pastor throwing to the right-hand side and he didn't set himself he just wanted to flip it out it's easier for him to flip it to his left because he's already got that automatic turn back to the right he overthrew Stanley Morgan on the outside now the line I think the quarterman are just playing so deep as soon as you read it it's an automatic call it's inaudible they're going with the receiver receiver reads it the quarterback Eastern Region thank for that time was way off now they're up Perriman joined Stevens is the full-back in the backfield on second and 10 from the 14 it's the up man Parenthood he is nailed by the other inside linebacker Greg Clark reacting very quickly to the play he was a reserve with bears last year another plan B free agent signing it about 90% of the plan B signings for the Dolphins for the defensive side of the line and I guarantee it with the play of Erin Clark it gets brown and upper doll back in the camp or back in not camp anymore it's the season critical third down first drive at the second half of the Patriots started at their own 35-yard line now they've got it third close to seven robbing along six with a dime package in there Jones wanted it it is tipped away at the last second by Jarvis Williams great time in the play with the strong safety jarvis williams he does not have a man he is playing center field and all he did was read Easton's eyes and jarvis williams read it perfectly and almost had the interception number 26 is Gervais way as you'll see him here he's backed by the goal line now look at him he could see him sitting in the middle of the field he's looking at Easton size Jones passes intended for him but Jarvis Williams almost picks it off it'll be a 28 yard field goal try for Greg Davis who missed his first try of the season to the first half of 41 yard attempt this one trail for three points of the day with a eleven seconds left in the third water Arsen trucks Mazda it just feels right by Coors Light pure brewed in the Rockies the Silver Bullet won't slow you down it's the hug beard now and by rope handler tread block radials at Sears tough tires you can trust [Music] on an overcast day in Foxborough we welcome you back to Sullivan Stadium Joel Meyers along with ball McGwire the Dolphins lead up by 21 there ready to get the ball back amped in' at mark logan back deep it'll be Logan at the 5 [Music] he goes down across the 20 years it's 42 yard line another look follow me end zone that near interception by Jarvis Williams Williams just again he just reached the quarterback and he almost has the interception upset with themselves so don't go you don't get that many opportunities that I did to hold on Dan Marino starts the second half with a hundred and sixty-seven yards and completions he was 12 19 the first half with three touchdown tosses and those three make it 200 on his young career Stratford his single set Jennsen the wing back on the hip the tight end in motion gets goes to Stratford the couple posted three to the 25-yard line run down to the rookie cornerback Maurice Hurst well we know that Jessica catch the ball and get open but he's also asked a wing man he'll come in motion we'll see if Jensen can block here he come yeah but he's got a double-team now he's looking for something he sees people atop trying to get in some ways way that's Reynolds number 95 he's really not gonna hurt anybody with that but as long as he can detain him that's his job Miami now is 64 yards on the ground after that 3 yard run by Stratford brings up second in seven Jennsen the motion man once again [Applause] [Music] it's off the fingertips of Stratford in causing complete and bring up third and long Johnny rembered depending on the play half time Cleveland with his seven-point lead up of the Jets tied one in Kansas City in the third quarter washington added three before half-time Steeler has tried to come back against the Bengals in Cincinnati Dallas looking for their first win at Atlanta and New Orleans continues to roll in Green Bay Gary Jeter comes into the game extra pass rusher for the Patriots well will work out of the shotgun on 37 his own 25-yard line [Music] therefore the New York Times Los Angeles round it's my plate with the first down sundown crossing the 35 near the 37 Rodney rice combining with Fred Marian on this stop a gain of 12 again New England trying to get a pass rush on him and you know trying to just get into his face but with the quick release of Marino and knowing where these receivers are going to be and that's the way it's designed I was so we're gonna have brown back in the game again they go back to their basic office again but Marino is just so quick with the ball knows where the players are gonna be those were the openings are very smart heading quarterback Lorenzo Hampton comes into the game along with Tom Brown there in the backfield on first and 10 for the Dolphins near their own 37 yard line good protection again from Marino the hands of our eyebrow lagged out of the play Rowland James coming up the back of the receiver did he make contact early that's the question Joel I mean it was it looked like a good play from from the band's standpoint but Roland James is not complaining about it fence number 38 first down you cannot make contact with the receiver before the ball gets there all right here it comes now see the left arm behind his back and then we also lose it official on the play he goes down but he wasn't the man is through the play he couldn't see it but James you can't grab the guy from behind and you notice that James did not complain at all Rowland James one of the fixtures in that secondary if they had Ronnie looked at the quarterback position he's out injured for the earring another force of their 1984 first and 10 give four Miami is about three that's where Enzo Hampton out of the backfield brought down by Tim Jordan the back of that secondary for the New England Patriots if they had Lou pent in there that group would have been together since 84 campaign starting together that's continuity and that's why doing what had what a better past offenses in the NFL last year that's another reason why the Kansas City Chiefs have such a great pass defense because those four guys Burroughs and Albert Lewis and Ron cherry these guys have been there for a long time and that's what you need back there knowing what the other guys gonna do [Music] second and close to seven it's inside the 48 yard line with Jensen in motion Moreno [Music] [Applause] second interception of the day the station we've seen from Jim Jensen's it is a mistake but if you take a look at where the ball is thrown on Jensen the ball is hits him right in the hands he should have had it Patriots get it back down by 21 [Music] it's the right in now but not now you're going to get some renown this is after he throws Jim Jordan number 93 gets there but the ball is already gone Stephenson Behrman in the backfield Harriman goes in motion easy a sack of Tony Eason because while we were away while they were bullying it when he returned to the deal Ron are bullying him again but so she ain't nobody touches so she comes right up the middle of the field Valley we can even read the sex what so Shay number seven days each is going to come right out the middle of the field that the guard in the center pulled in the wrong direction Farrell and Babb went in opposite directions and they hit each other no one blocked so shame the sack of close to 12 yards all the way back to be 28 yard line fourth sack of the day for the Dolphins brings up second in 22 755 left in the third New England with the ball but they're down by three touchdowns receiver fire fell down and the hands a few green and always came up with the pics well new green never saw the ball coming he's watching friars what he was doing and a ball hit him in the hands prior did go down and again but I hope it doesn't sound like I'm picking on Easton but he's throwing to the two receivers that are double and triple covered now there's got to be other receivers with one man on him and Paul is a former player don't you have to forget about the last play because after a sack like that it just seemed like he was rushing everything you can't and you can't bring it back that was a breakdown in the offensive line but east to standing back there with happy feet he doesn't stand like Marino Marino has confidence in his offensive line he's gonna do it and I'm not saying that he said doesn't have confidence but in himself 13:22 pressure again easy in-and-out intended target he was going for urban friar once again Joe with Eason let me show you what I'm talking about but he never sets his feet again the defense is farthing but when you watch he said watch his legs don't look at his arms when you watch his feet they never settle down he's moving all the time he never got into a set position to throw the football beagles in to punt the ball away Eason now has missed his last four straight passes mr. excitement beagle you just joined us beagles failed on a fake punt try and then bobble the ball on his second fun of the day and missed on that pass attempt taken by Stratford at the forty goes down in a hurry after the Church of five yards at the 45 yard line so when we return Miami with great field position seven and a half minutes left in the third there is a point at which all things must evolve for small cars that [Music] I'm with Paul McGuire I'm Joel Myers we're at Sullivan's Stadium in Foxboro it's been a day for the Dolphins as they lead in twenty four to three they had a 24 to 19 halftime lead the only points coming for New England on a 28 yard field goal by Davis early in his third quarter round in the backfield Lorenzo Hampton first in ten to the 45 Hampton on the reception beautiful boobed yardage out that play games for the 49 yard line Sims cutting his legs out from under him along with Brent Williams Brent Williams is hobbling a little bit they're bringing some people out to take a look at [Music] Tom Brown not only you know the Schiller was talking about him this kid does it all watch the blocking by Brown here he is right here there's no question about he gets up in Tim Jordan space he makes the block stays with his block Hampton gets to the outside and then they got people downfield blocking for you Edmonds number 80 is down all I gonna do is get in the way of people and they picked up about four or five yards on the play Williams is out they bring in Milford Hodge Brown the full-back in the eye they send Clayton emotion on second in 64-49 goes to Hampton to the backfield Lawrenceburg through the outside linebacker got in there untouched all that time Brown missed his man block the last time a mystic man others scores around the NFL in the second Sunday of the season Raiders regaining the lead over the Chiefs in Kansas City Redskins continue to lead by 16 get dolphins up fight or make that the Cowboys rather up by 8 while the Saints lead it by 10 in Green Bay dirt and find the ball to midfield strive for the Dolphins Marino works out of the shotgun with a familiar one to the backfield Tim Jensen over the middle plate is wide open for the first down and ends up inside the 25 bumped down short the 22 you know it really must be a treat for a quarterback to be able to sit back there with the time the moreno has and have two receivers wide open he has Jensen wide open going across the middle short and he also has clayton wide open going down the middle deep here comes Jensen he's underneath but look at Clayton just what's the defense he's there that's one now watch the other one here's the other one coming out of the back now look at Jensen you see a red shirt married comes up late but that would have been for a first down baba the 23 first in 10 Miami Layton goes in motion Hampton and proud of the I pitch goes to Lorenz don't have to can't do it think with it Jim go doing a good job the nose tackle of wrapping up the running back the loss back to the 25-yard line will blossom to Tom Brown coming out he's gonna block on Maurice Hurst number 37 here comes Brown watch this here goes her pink but nobody in the inside blocks it appeared the center didn't stay on his block you'll inning he's getting his first career start at the rookie for Ohio State in Hampton the second Gulf and running back to the part over the last five minutes Stratford had to leave aa Stratford's back Stratford's back in there now is put the back bill with brown on second close to 12 the bottom of the 25-yard line of New England over the middle Brown breaking the initial tackle it's a good job to get an extra three four yards out of the play near the tent where he shorted the first down marker by a couple brought down by strong st. Pete Rowland James yeah buddy runs right through the linebacker at Reynolds Tom Brown Sheila told us yesterday about him what a valuable player is no watch this runs a little circle route crew is there when he here comes Reynolds up to make the tackle Brown is so big and so strong he breaks that tackle James makes the tackle yeah well you only have three yards to go around is out of Pitt taken in the seventh round the 87 draft missing all of 87 and 88 due to injuries buzzy development to Miami Jensen in the backyard Marino out of the shotgun four wide receivers on third plus two three Moreno sliding inside the 10 the reception taken in by Clayton for another first down until one of the reasons why Jensen is open so much this is because Jensen remember is the backup is like the third quarterback on this football team so he can read the defense's just as well as Moreno so he knows the area that he's going to be in he knows what's going to be soft where he can get whether it's going to be in the middle or in a flat he's in the same plane or on the same page I guess his term there's Jensen he's on the same page Marino's on so Moreno knows that Jensen knows where he's going to be very easy to do first and goal for the Dolphins inside the 10 they go with a double tight end set of Farrell Edmonds Ryan kenshin Stratford proud of the eye it'll be Stratford head-over-heels took another big shot where's Sammy they may have to go back to Sammy Smith who we saw regularly in the first 30 minutes of play one problem they had with Sammy Smith now he has retained some of the offense okay but not all of it mark Logan is going to come in the game now but on the passing downs this is not sure of the blocking especially if they're blitzing or things you know he doesn't have it all yet I can guarantee you by next week Sammy Smith will be the starting running back second and goal from the 6 yard line Logan and his third year from Kentucky lining up in the ivi brown Logan now I'm short of the goal line near the one-yard line we're going to call a load Logan I said it is he he hit that hole he did not hesitate logan does not hesitate right in front of Miss Brown coming into the hole as a lead blocker he didn't block anyone didn't have to Galbraith got the block but Logan was moving I mean there was just no hesitation at all great leg drive but the younger running back for the Miami Dolphins mark Logan they can scratch her back in there along with Tom Brown Miami today 9 of 11 on third downs this is a third goal outside of the warm Marino will throw short of the intended target tension is tied in yeah but you're going to have holding on Johnny Rembert because he grabbed kitchen before language there's going to call us against the office and he says rembert looked like he grabbed kitchen in the end zone but you're not a lot of run into the defense of a linebacker and then move out to the outside the question is do you take the penalty because it'll be fourth down get Moreno another shot back up up get more room or make you kick the field goal craft interference offense number 88 10-yard penalty repeat sit down third down I don't think the Dolphins mind that at all not at all I know I have just go ahead and kick the field goal they'll put it back outside the 11 yard line at Marino gets another shot at the end zone Marino so far this afternoon 17 of 27 for 227 yards three touchdowns AHS is two of those going to Jim Jensen if you were putting enough heat on Marino that's a different story but now you're giving him the 10 yards in the end zone and 11 yards in a field so you got 21 yards in which to work in now and the way they haven't even been really been close to whirring off they go with that same alignment we've seen so often this afternoon two wide receivers to each side from Jensen in the back you up on third and goal from outside the Patriots 11 intercepted by Redbirds random very new second interception of the second half the third of the day off Dan Marino rembert picking it off over the middle as they were going from mark Clayton we'll be right back to Sullivan with the Patriots still trailing by 21 [Music] upstream girl my dreams and cold Coors beer it takes a part of this country as cold and clean as the Rockies to brew last year Johnny Aubert with that interception of the Dan Marino pass gives it back to the Patriots first and ten y're loves it when he first came on a food then he was walking off with a crowd applauding because they thought they were taking Ethan out of the game now the last fool you hurt that season coming back onto the people canceled they fooled him again would you call that a bad read by the fans they got to put some slides up here some cards for love no he's still in prior in motion her students headed the 20-yard line the latest evil [Music] gary is good for five yards the 25-yard line more scores around the NFL Jets have tied it up with Cleveland [Music] Raiders have their lane trimmed down to two Cincinnati creases their advantage to 17 Cowboys continued to hang on and it's a tight affair all of a sudden in Green Bay second and five after that five yard game but last year's NFL Rookie of the Year I really feel sorry for you they just they're not giving him a chance at all of course he's had a bad game berry [Music] JJ Turner tackle for the Dolphins the natives are restless we have an armed guard up there I'm interesting call though fall when you're down by 21 here in the final minute of the third quarter you're giving it on a handoff on second and five and just remember one thing now that's called in from the sidelines right all right that is not called in our Eason is not making his call career Bobby Greer is the man who calls the running plays of dick would Richard woods calls the pass plays we'll be right back to find out Patriots do on third that's the end of three Miami's still in control four years ago when Acura was introduced our competitors were a little worried we start the fourth quarter with the Dolphins leading by twenty one third and five now for the Patriots early one of eight on third down conversions take over the tight end severs he's gunning for a first down to the 35 yard line don't forget next Sunday join NBC Sports for a great football doubleheader beginning to 12:30 Eastern with NFL live and some of you will see Brian Bosworth Seahawks battle the Patriots right here in Foxborough the second half of our doubleheader it'll be a shootout Miami to AFC East rivals the Jets and the Dolphins get together at Joe Robbie Plus regional action so check your local listings for the games and the time in your area first and ten for New England their own 35-yard line do part severs stay in the back field series again on the reception gives another person down across the 45 to the 46 yard line tripped up just barely by david fry the inside linebacker well cirrus came out of the back field just like Jensen does and he went right into pride pushes him up and it moves to the outside and he's just taking a short short place but think about it they're down 21 points and they're inside 14 minutes laser coming in from the sidelines for Tony Eason let's not forget though Raymond Barry is the only coach in the NFL that does not have an offense with a defensive coordinator all right and I said it before Bobby Grier when Raymond Barry says run Bobby Grier is calls to play from upstairs when he says past Richard wood calls the pass play first and 10 from their own 46 inside get the pyramid or make that do part do part stop short of the midfield stripe after a gain of four but the clock continues to roll in the wrong direction for the Patriots with 13 15 left in the fourth you know in Miami they love it cuz her running the clock up you figured every time you run a running play Joel it's a minimum 40 seconds gone off the clock second in six now for the Patriots great wide receivers split out I know but Irving choir [Applause] wirings I was early a six-yard line with another New England first down do nice block downfield 25 yards on the reception that time easton had enough time to look underneath the coverage and that's where every friar ended up but the move after when Irving fryer catches the ball to get back to the outside and pick up another 15 yards here comes fire now look at he is underneath the defensive secondary now he's fries there he's going to move back to the outside he's going to pick up a block downfield by too far at number 21 it picks up another 15 yards good move Patriots on their initial Drive of the first or second half got points on the board as they were stalled inside the 20 now they've got it first in ten to twenty six Eason going up top for Joe Jones looking left looking right out of his reach Jones lately receiver last week with eight catches only one so far today it remains tied in Cleveland Raiders clinging to a two-point advantage fathers scores around the NFL Atlanta closing the gap on the Cowboys [Music] ten make dhikr is coming like every four minutes on it only second intent now for the 26-yard line Sammy Martin comes into the game Sabres the pyramid in the backfield whoa by easy bring up there and I have to play their first of all pyramids should have caught the ball but the second thing would happen in the play is that Eason instead of throwing the ball tried to guide the ball the pyramid instead of just go ahead and throw it now watch Easton's arm almost like he's trying to check this pass it's almost like a guy teaches he holds it for a second and guides it look for the ball is thrown down into the ground Furman had his hands on it still should have caught it ISA now 14 of 29 for 238 yards he's had one picked off third and 10 we could bet they're not gonna kick a field goal here third and 10 at the 26 either look time at a man open momentarily Salem Oregon it was target though welcome aboard I mean you're talking about not only open but wide open watch with Stanley Morgan there's lag for their watch Morgan he is wide open no chance for Oliver to get to him and he throws the ball out of bounds seems like nothing is coming naturally today for Tony Eason everything's a struggle he's jumping around a pocket he's not getting himself set and you cannot throw the ball downfield accurately unless you're in a set position to throw it fourth and ten Hartly dikes the first-round draft choice in for the first time today calcium's here good night get back fifth Safa the day of Tony reason and it was the outside linebacker Eric Cooper Oh and Easton never saw it coming it will come from the right-hand side of your screen take a look at Easton he's looking to his right and it's its backside and there's Cooper old we'll be right back after these messages from your local station [Music] and zerah New England just found out Paul McGuire was working the game and they are getting the road in droves well if people here had never had a 50-yard line seat they can move over now the first time they'll get one first in ten from Miami outside of the road 34 with Clayton in motion logan on the carry but the dolphins want to do now eat it up on the clock 12:15 left in the contest go the williams combining for the end a gain of five though the Miami Dolphins last year the only team in the NFL without a win within their own division they're about to snap today a 10 game losing streak against AFC Eastern Division opposition he's put together a pretty good football team today that man right there at Don Shula and they're missing a lot of people that defense has been a big key today five sacks a total of 47 yards in losses the most tax for the Dolphins since 1986 give the full background across the 40 to be 42 yard line for a gain of two bringing up third and three Kenneth Sims wrapping up the running back card I'd like to see now with Jensen back there it's done everything blocked thought faster now I want to see him run with one you know they just keep the clock moving its third and a little over three don't be surprised to see anything third and three at the 42 will it be a shovel pitch which Paul McGuire wants to call from the booth - Jim Jenson [Music] Maryna will throw goodbye James thrown to the inside as opposed to the outside as he was looking for Mark Layton James had super coverage there was just no place to go with that ball except outside they just kind of throw it away Don Shula told us played the game at the camp he's at four days of practices it was like he never missed a day all preseason camp what I like about Moreno though he throws to everyone Reggie rubbing into punted away it's only his second punt of the day Irving fryer back at the 18 yard line for New England [Music] or did he get it [Applause] out of balance at the 21-yard line so when we were tearing - Foxborough Patriots we'll get it back down by 21 at their own 21 come fly the friendly skies and by do Keystone and Keystone white bottle beer taste in a can wouldn't that be break [Music] ten minutes in 34 seconds left in the fourth and final part he sees him he's on his way down again six Miami Dolphins that makes it 10 for the Dolphins over the first two games yeah well let me say something that's not easiest fault the offensive line broke down there in a hurry up off but I really feel sorry for Easton because here's a guy the team is down and he's trying to bring him back into paper it's really got to be eaten away at Amar'e Obama has been 10 25 up in the fourth a super fire incomplete [Applause] nay Thomas depending on the play second year man out of BYU spent a disastrous home opener for the New England Patriots in that a snap their streak of five straight wins seven opening day - 58 yards you know he's had he hasn't had the luxury Marino his head Marino throwing past list of this five - Clayton Florida Jensen - to brown one to Hampton with two - duper and three to Edmunds house that moving it around [Music] and the dolphin fans are saying right now what in what if Jim Kelly doesn't get in the endzone in the final play at the game easy 1/3 long wide open its fire and the 30s live now they may not have the first down now he gets the spot he gets it across the 31 just barely picks up the first down and they're running the hurry-up offense with 10 minutes to go in the game East is calling everything from the line of scrimmage that time Rodney Thomas just fell down Aysen had the shotgun on first and ten the fingertips of fire stop the clock with 952 remaining so you know it's very difficult to throw with a lot of people in your face and that's what Eastern space is most of the day and give credit to the defensive line of Miami eagle is trying to come back on the Redskins and VC's whoops bengals only delay now in the fourth Dallas trying to hang on for their first win of the year great game going on in Green Bay Bay surprise Jason now is 14 to 33 total of two hundred and seven yards second intent from his own 32 Shortland deceivers complete across the 35 of these 30 yard-line you know what he almost had to throw that ball eastern side arm because of them of the rush that was on him he has not had a lot of time all day long I mean he's had a bad game there's no question about it but he really hadn't had a whole lot of time to throw the ball works with three wide receivers out of the shotgun we'll be inside the Miami the rookie you bet the guy watch this Lewis Oliver number 25 and I mean you just got to give Jose all the credit the world was just holding on to the ball Oliver was there Rodney Thomas was there that man will hit you Jones is up walking off on his own but you know that that really hurt that hurt up here Hartly dikes the number one draft choice the rookie from Oklahoma State and coming in now replacing Seaford Jones first in 10 do part on the flare topped at the 41-yard line but didn't get out of bounds didn't try to get out of bounds you've got three defenders there Frey was one of them number 53 and you've got to get out of bounds to stop the clock continue to go without a huddle he's an under throwing Stanley Morgan for throwing into public coverage once again Morgan but that time Morgan was open the ball is just going straight into the ground that's showing a lot of emotion does it light in only six games last year only six teams actually over the last two seasons because of a shoulder injury the second game of the season has been a problem over the last five years it seems to be for the New England Patriots and that's you know take the reverse step of Shula he's eight and one now it's going to be nine and 137 the ball at the 41 yard line feel Jeff cross gonnigan 7:00 Saturday afternoon [Applause] he just blows by Sean Farrell number 62 the left guard he just goes right by I mean Eason didn't have a chance Sean Farrell missed his block and what a great play by cross and these guys have been out there for a long time and they're not giving up they can they can smell victory why define for the Dolphins of ninth rounded the trap to last year cross out of the University of Missouri easy goes up top on fourth down from Morgan know that as interference the fans wanted it it falls incomplete and the Dolphins take over on downs with seven minutes and 45 seconds left Judson providing the coverage on that play Johnson jostling with Morgan it falls incomplete and the Dolphins get it back leading by 21 hey Phil its Ross your bid came in this morning husband Dolphins happened as we return to Foxborough they are on their way to their first win of the year first and ten to shy the midfield strike Logan on the carry from first down makes a tackler with him for about 6 7 yards Fred Marion rolling James making the stop his telecast is presented by authority of the National Football League and is intended for the private use of our audience had a rebroadcast rather use of this telecast without the express written consent of the New England Patriots and the NFL is prohibited first and ten for the dolphins down to the 38 yard line now of the Patriots plot movie seven minutes left in the fourth very efficient day for Dan Marino one of those two interceptions in and out the handsome Jim Jensen Logan again I know we've his way out of the backfield gets a yard after all they said and done just by rolling James how about getting your 200th against the team he hadn't beaten in seven games we had that justin is another three for Moreno and again he was out here two hours in at least two hours of 15 minutes of street clothes walking up and down this field thinking getting his head together and it works next week he'll be out two and a half hours hit Dan Marino and the dolphin passing the attack ranked first in the NFL last year the running game though it was the league's worse we got a feeling ball that's all going to turn around now with Sammy Smith helping out in the backfield Logan getting it on second and 9 the game like this really gives you an awful lot of confidence because they came out right away that Miami Dolphins if you missed the first series of downs in this game Sammy Smith the holes really weren't there but he broke up and made something out of it and now that gives an added dimension to their offense one that gives defense as a fit first time the Dolphins has a ball today they took it to 71 yards their commentator the drive with a 15 yard touchdown pass to Mark Clayton they have not missed a beat since they got some help from the special teams of the New England Patriots when the Patriots on fourth down at their own 20-yard line of their first possession of the day try to fake punt with a pass that failed to materialise the Dolphins capitalize off the shotgun on 3rd long it's bubbled they tried to put up my hand Jennsen [Applause] [Music] Williams the last series are down but now we know why they don't if the chips have never got the ball they're not enough people in here to Bui stand now alright Jenson comes up and it's just a handoff he never gets the ball the ball instead of looking at the ball he looked at the hole and that's the one thing you must have the ball first before you start running Williams picks it up but what you're touching you're laying on the ground you're automatically down first intend now doing that gets it back on the fourth turnover the day by Miami with 520 left Eason out of the shotgun with Severson do part of the backfield floats it for fire just out of his reach Morris scores around the NFL some very close games on the second week of the season Cleveland tacking on a touchdown to go up by 11 now on the Jets and look what's developing at RFK I've just I'm surprised to see Washington get 30 points on Philadelphia when we saw him last week and they were awesome Atlanta they're back they have just taken the lead over the Cowboys after trailing 21 to 20 second antenna off the Patriots the ball at their own 36 yard line Hartly dikes in there again the rookie first round draft choice [Applause] do part of the reception and get to the outside but down to the 44 yard line don't forget next Saturday join NBC Sports for the major league baseball game of the week as we stay right on top of the exciting pennant races you'll see the Pittsburgh Pirates at Chicago or the Expos at New York taking on the Mets it all starts with Major League Baseball an inside look right here on NBC 3rd and 2 at the 39 do part can't hang on and forgot a fourth and 2 stops the clock with 446 remaining you know this is not a 50-50 deal with ESA's but I'm telling you they dropped enough a lot of balls today that we're enhanced it should have been hot and there's nothing he can do to control that Raymond Berry's just he's staying with Eason the whole time Patriots are right back here at home next week Paul they've got the Seattle Seahawks without Steve Largent who's out with that broken bone at his elbow for six weeks fourth and two now the ball at the 44 yard line easy Berkeley dykes and he's out of bounds partly had one reception his first career graph for three yards last week you have to pick up a catch today so this is this man is hardly dykes has tremendous hands here it is there's one foot boy he's dragging the other one the question is did he have possession of the ball he is inbounds [Music] there's the fourth straight time that the Patriots have failed on a fourth down try well they haven't had a whole lot of place to review today and that's good news but I think they may take a look at this they may take a look at it because it's a question of whether Hartly dikes this is it where it's at that foot is down and the other one is dragging across the ground now the question is does he have possession of the ball the other replay we had is much better they are not going upstairs though now they are they are and they have to take a look at the first replay that we had here it is here now watch dykes look at his hand so his feet are in does he have possession of the ball yes he does he's bring it in heat that's a catch that's first down great concentration by the rookie wide receiver please reset 30-second clock to 14 seconds 14 seconds please on the 30-second clock that's all we're gonna do thank you so the Patriots have the Seahawks next week while the Dolphins head home to face their third straight opponent from within their own division some imagine up with the New York Jets at Joe Robbie Stadium but a heartbreaking loss that was for Miami last week to give up 11 points in the final four minutes of play we have received word but the reason we haven't seen Sammy's Smith he turned his ankle a little bit the first happened with precautionary measures they're keeping Smith out of the second half place dance first in 10 Miami at the 44 with 440 left logan and brown of the backfield once again third year man from kentucky logan cambric of exactly trying to get to the outside drop for a loss of one and the reason that we found out that Raymond berry did not change quarterbacks is because he is not going to let the fans dictate what he's going to do and he kept dicen in the ball game to do it one time there are 14 more games of this season what is it 7 more at home it's going to happen every time long long day you've been on that sideline oh and there's nothing and there's nothing that you can do to stop the bleeding lady just hadn't been able to happen was

down to the two-minute warning will return to Foxborough as Reggie Robi has just taken the five-yard penalty we are down to the two-minute warning though we'll be right back the Dolphins on their way to their first win of the year much time great protection by his offensive line one of the keys as well as a secondary that didn't give Tony Eason too many options well the secondary didn't give too many options just let's give credit to the total defense defensive line they were in Eastern space all day long and it's very difficult to throw when it's there the defense you talked about rising to the occasion you know last week they lost at the end of the game the defense blames himself and Moreno does because he threw an interception late in the ballgame but you talked about getting it all back the Miami Dolphins got it back today prior waits for the punt from Roby back at his own 10 yard line headed towards the end zone it'll be a touchback and New England will have the ball when we come back first intent of their own 40-yard line dolphins in control that knows it's dad defensive want Marino the quarterback of the Dolphins and his target others pass play for the touchdown of the first half Jim Jensen those are our MVPs Budweiser Olynyk contribution to the United Way on behalf all the MVP selected in today's games now how about this Jensen is 11 Marino's 13 what's that add up to you got it 24 24 3 I just thought that throw that in I know that you threw it out statistician for today's game bills George our spotters Joe per se and Phil Lynch assisting into the booth is well Bob over Guinean and Dave lorenzi so the Dolphins had a very early 17 to nothing lead they had a 24 to nothing lead by the intermission the only points for the Patriots today a 28 yard field goal by Greg Davis now when we met with Don Shula yesterday he said one thing he wanted more than anything else but his team was a win out of the blocks he thought that this type of team needed a confidence builder obviously they bounce back and responded quite well well he also said that you know right after the game when you asked him you know what did you say to your team because it was a devastating loss he said we talked about the good points of the ballgame we showed what we could have won that ballgame we didn't we could have and how good this football team can be he stood on 1st and 10 on the shotgun to do part to the 27 yard line scores and highlights coming up bottling today's game for Foxborough on the Budweiser NFL report they'll put it down to the 28 bringing up a second in 295 seconds left in the contest severs hooking up again with Issa he felt that did you yeah the hitch around a head you do first and ten for the Patriots at their own 34 yard lines do part again on the shortstop tankyness down the sidelines inside the 30 before he's pushed out of balance at the 20-yard line [Applause] next Sunday John NBC's board for a great football doubleheader beginning to 12:30 Eastern with NFL live at some of the you'll see Brian Bosworth and the Seahawks battle the Patriots here in Foxborough second half of the doubleheader shootout Miami Dolphins and the Jets that's it Joe Robbie Stadium plus regional action check your local listings for the games family time in your area first and ten for the 21 severs can't get away from the linebacker David Frye playing they hit down to be 18 near the 17 yard line they have doing the Patriots have three timeouts they're not going to really take any I don't think there comes we'll see two to poo in the game do part goes out just to hurry up offense they're trying to score something just to make it look halfway respectable but then olders running back in the NFL in the game to to poo severs hooking up again with Eason 2-tuples 34 years old now in his 12th year out of USC 20 seconds remaining we're down to the 10 yard line with a first and 10 isn't in the grasp know nobody and was who's one was livered hobbly the defensive back hate just threw the ball away you know I just wonder what's going through their minds here they are with almost two minutes to go in the game they're down twenty four to three and they're running a hurry-up offense moving the ball down the field you have three timeouts on the scoreboard I mean what is the thinking you want to get out of here without an injury the game is lost then go ahead and get out of here but running a hurry-up offense doing the things that they're doing without taking any time outs didn't make much sense second and goal from the 10-yard line [Applause] Hazen has [Applause] touchdown [Applause] we'll take the extra point time has expired what a confidence builder though even though they get a touchdown on that pass to me so what a confidence builder for his defense it's been so polite over the last three four years but I guarantee you Don Shula the defensive people are not going to be very happy with this theythey know they wanted to keep him without a touchdown in the game and he said did a great job just getting out dices at the back of the end zone there were no people back there they didn't get deep enough good throw nice catch new lady first career touchdown reception for the rookie from Oklahoma State Hartly dikes dave is on for the extra point Ron and it's over at Sullivan's didn't even watch Merle Massachusetts along with Jensen our Co MVPs they sent the tempo very early getting the offense in gear a 71 yard drive for the Miami Dolphins of their opening possession of the day Don Shula had a ruddy ball he had him ready offensively and I think Sammy Smith offensive we gave him that limp and kind of I think it's kind of took New England out of its defense a little bit but the most impressive thing about this victory was the defense of the Miami Dolphins I mean they held New England for 59 minutes 59 seconds the three points and there's where the credit is due the defense talked about really getting into the ball game they did it seven sacks in the ballgame that's outstanding at Marino did not have a favorite target today he's spread it around he did and I love it coming up next stay tuned for Bob Costas for the Budweiser NFL report that final again my
