Dolphins vs. Patriots In-Game Notes

It's going to be slow going on the 4:00 game notes since I have to enter the rotoworld info for the 1:00 game.

Ben Watson is inactive for the Pats. Jason Taylor and Jesse Chatman are both active for the Dolphins.

Brady to Moss for a TD on third down. Trying to recap the JAX game for rotoworld, so I'm not going to be able to log much of this one. With that play, Moss becomes just the 2nd player in NFL history to record 20 TD catches in a season. Jerry Rice being the first of course (with 22 in a 12 game strike-shortened season I believe).

Maroney with a 51-yard scamper...see the Patriots can run the ball.

Brady to Moss again after a pass interference call brought the Pats to the goal-line. The best redzone QB throwing to the best redzone WR -- that's a recipe for a lot of TDs.

Maroney through a gaping hole and no secondary for 59 yards and a TD. How can you bench him for Colston or Gates, Brad? That's two rushes for over 50 yards in the first half.

Troy Brown muffed his first punt return, and Wes Welker was in on the next.

Brady looking awfully smooth today...he's back to the early season dominance. And here's a bullet to Gaffney that somehow went right through Lance Shulters "Buckwheat in a headlock" arms and ends up in a 48 yard TD. Brady ties Marino for 2nd most TD passes of all time.

Lemon with a bullet to David Martin. Maybe they'll dent the scoreboard before half-time.

Bruschi with a great play, reaching around the receiver in the endzone to bat down a potential TD reception.

Jason Allen picks off Brady going to Moss in the corner of the end zone. The pump fake that didn't fool anybody.

Another interception for Brady. This one thrown well into tight coverage bounced off of Randy Moss hands and into the hands of Derrick Pope.

Cleo Lemon just ran around behind the line of scrimmage for about 40 yards before impressively finding Lorenzo Booker for an 8 yard gain and a first down. Nice improv.

Fourth and less than one, and Cleo Lemon fails to reach the ball over to the in-bounds side of the pylon turning six points into bubkes. Challenge coming.

Phil Simms says Ted Ginn is fast, but he needs to be quicker in tight spaces. Says he was faster by yards than everybody in college, but now he's only faster by inches. Can he deceive NFL players?

Lorenzo Booker looking awfully slippery slicing through the Pats defense on that play. Can he fill a Leon Washington role on the Dolphins next season?

Week 15 hero Greg Camarillo puts a nice corner move on Ellis Hobbes and hauls in Lemon's pass for the first Dolphins TD of the day. Camarillo is wearing Wes Welker's old Dolphins #83, and he looks a lot like him out there on the field.

Cleo Lemon competes, and he rates high in mobility and game managing, but you just can't be a good QB when you're a lousy passer.

Maroney with a career-high 130 yards on just nine carries. Brady not looking quite so smooth in the 2nd half.
