Notes:

Offense:

-Mathis played a lot of the game for Ike at right guard. It will be interesting to see who plays there this week against the Bills, or if they will continue to split time.

-Camarillo, who I generally have no complaints about, is making a habit of making third down catches short of the first down marker. It's not a case of him running the routes short, but rather because he is so good at coming back to the ball that he usually ends up short. He needs to start running his routes a good three yards beyond the sticks as opposed to just right past them to ensure more first down receptions.

-David Martin played excellent football. Great game from him against Baltimore.

Defense:

-The Dolphins defense went offside on two early plays. Unacceptable.

-It was nice to see a corner blitz. Of course it was Joey Porter who finished anyway, but maybe Yeremiah Bell can get in on the action, too. Also, it could be a great way to keep Andre Goodman out of coverage.

-Will Allen and Renaldo Hill can't catch. Just thought I'd mention it again.

-There was a rare defensive holding call on a running play on Randy Starks. Usually you only see that in a passing situation when a defender is holding a lineman from blocking somebody else (usually somebody stunting). Rare call, and probably attributable to Starks' inexperience at nose.

Special Teams

-It's safe to say that all of Miami was cheering when they saw Ted Ginn back to receive the opening kick. He took it back close to the 50, and the Ravens started kicking away from him. If that doesn't tell Tony Sparano something, I don't know what will.

-Ginn was great all day returning kicks, and it seemed that his involvement in the special teams sparked his energy and helped him find a rhythm on offense.

-Carpenter's first kickoff was in the air forever. Let's hope he can do that consistently.

-London is a terrific special teams player. He should be the guy we put on the pro bowl ballot for special teams.

-Bess doesn't catch a long punt, and it ends up going about sixty yards and being downed at our three. He and Ginn could both use work at getting to the ball and catching it.

Play Calling:

-I think with 3rd and goal from the two, early in a game against a team against whom points will be hard to come by, you run the ball twice (or at least once and see how close you get). Hindsight is 20/20, and to be fair Pennington just missed an open Fasano, but that is my philosophy.

-QB sneak on 2nd and 16??

-Pennington took the heat for it, but why run the ball on 3rd and 11 when you are going to kick a field goal anyway? They should've been running on first or second down out of a normal formation instead.
