Joe Haden for president

[OconRecon]

He had a great game. Confidence is building in him in his first NFL year. Great to see it.

Player of the game: Haden
Honorable mentions: Bowens and Big Baby

A W is a W. They had more on the line than we did and we still gritted it out. Beats an ugly loss.

Now we've had great looking wins (Pats & Saints) and ugly ones (Panthers & Dolphins). Good teams have to win both.

We're slowly getting there.

I really dont believe it was an ungly win. It was a good tough defensive battle and we came out on top. To me thats a solid win.

It was VERY ugly offensively.

Jake Delhomme looked like Derek Anderson in the 2nd half of 2007 out there with constant 3 and outs.

Delhomme is a mix of Derek Anderson's retardedness and Charlie Frye's uncanny ability to throw the ball for 5 yards.

As much as I've despised Daboll up till this point, I do have to give him credit for one thing. He actually adjusted at halftime and started throwing on a day where the defense was committed to stopping Hillis

Miami does have a good defense and they was able to contain our only real weapon on offense, which is Hillis. So ya, our offense didnt look very good. Made the game a defensive struggle and our defense came out on top. Good game imo.

We got our Minnifield.
Where is our Dixon?
Mad props to Joe Haden,we witnessed a rookie become a stud in the NFL today.
Whenever his career ends I'm sure he will point to today as the day when he "got it".
We have a beast in the makings...

Agree. I thought about starting a "Do we really want Daboll fired?" thread, but picked a Haden thread instead.

I think we left South Beach without injuries too. Good good.

It can be argued about their defense. Their pass defense is mediocre, IMO. Their safeties struggle, which is a big reason why Watson had like 10 catches.

I think Colt may have fared a bit better. But we'll never know.

Regardless, a win is a win.

We won a game that you probably would have shouted (probably did) from the highest mountain we would lose.
Enjoy it.
Were a bad team rising from the ashes,not the other way around.

[Jax Dawg]

Even the announcers were like "the tackle was made by...and there on the pass break up....Joe Haden again!" He was everywhere today, great game Joe!

[BernietheKid]

The first play that Joe made was awesome after he looked like he was beat and came back to deflect the pass.

Here I thought Haden wasn't fast enough to play corner in the NFL? I also remember someone said it was stupid to take a corner at #7 because they aren't that much of difference makers.

[TheBestPlayersPlay]

Miami has an impressive defense, not sure how that can be argued.

Like eq said, a good defensive battle ....albeit with two crap offenses. The fact we scored as much as we did is almost a surprise to me, with what we have to work with and Hillis shut-out. Thank God Watson wasn't gimpy this week.
