Tune in Sunday at 4:00 PM ET as the New Orleans Saints take on the Miami Dolphins. Natasha Alibhai from
Heels in the Huddle will be liveblogging for your enjoyment.
Good Afternoon! Are you ready for Aerial Attack v/s The Wildcat?
For a quick preview of the game check out my thoughts and predictions -
HitH PreviewEverything the Dolphins are doing with their running game has been something to watch this season but they may be outmatched today
Will be back closer to kick off, right now everyone is watching the Steelers-Vikings game which has about 6 minutes left in it
The Saints, currently at 5-0, are the leagues top-ranked offense. The Dolphins are just 2-3, but they do boast the best ground game in the league averaging 177 ypg.
Injury Notes
Saints - Scott Fujita LB (calf), Malcolm Jenkins CB (ankle), Leigh Torrence CB (Hamstring)
Dolphins - No Injuries
For those who like to bet 'em, Saints are favored in this one by -6 and the Over/Under is set at 48
We are still waiting on the Steelers game to finish and it looks like they are going to come away with the win
Just a quick note: During the game I will only allow comments that enhance this live blog. This is done to make sure the play by play gets through to the users who are logging in for that purpose
@Tyler: sounds like a very confidant fan talking... the Saints are not a team to look past
Saints elect to receive to start this one
Saints start their 1st drive from the 27 yard line
1st and 10 - NO, Brees steps back in the pocket and throws right down the middle to Colston for a gain of 14 yards
1st and 10 - NO, Play action pass to Colston but he hold on to it
2nd and 10 - NO, Screen pass to TE Thomas who is tackled in the back field for a loss of 1 yard
FLAG - False start on the Saints
@Ralston thats a big "IF"
3rd and 16- NO, Short pass thrown to Pierre Thomas who is tackled abotu 3 yards short of the 1st down marker
3 and out is the best thing the Dolphins could have hoped for to open this one up
Dolphins call a time out incase of a fake punt
Bess returns the punt for Miami out to the 30 yard line as their offense will take the field
1st and 10 - MIA, Short pass from Henne to Ginn JR for a gain of 5 yards
2nd and 5 - MIA, Ronnie Brown with the carry, he has no room and is stopped after a gain of 1 yard
3rd and 4 - MIA, Henne under pressure throws to the right sideline. Bess comes up with a big catch as the throw was behind him
@amcafeworker wow thats a lot of yardage considering he splits with Ricky
Saints are challenging the completed catch - waiting for a review
There is some confusion, the replay machine is not working and so the Saints lose a time out
Saint would have won that challenge but now Miami has a 1st down
1st and 10 - MIA, Direct snap to Ronnie Brown who cuts to his left on the outside for a gain of 4
2nd and 6 - MIA, Same wildcat formation play and Brown gets 5 yards on the carry
3rd and 1 - MIA ball at the NO 46, FB Polite lunges forward and he looks to have enough to get the chains moving
1st and 10 - MIA, Play fake to R Williams, Henne steps back and makes a short slant pass to him as he runs out of bounds after picking up 5 yrds
2nd and 5 - MIA, Play action pass, Henne was looking down field for Ginn Jr but the pass is over thrown and incomplete
