Miami Game Notes

Great job by the weather forecasters, I wish I could have that sort of inaccuracy to my accounting job. Anywho, on to the game...

If Kirby Freeman is the answer for Miami's QB situation, they are asking the wrong question. He can't throw. The coaches don't believe in him. When you routinely run a QB draw on third and long, you are quite close to just quick kicking. For a few minutes, I thought Randy Shannon had hired Joe Dickinson (Sooner OC, 1998) as the play-caller.

Sam Bradford showed that last week wasn't a fluke. He wasn't as precise as last week, but continued to throw it well against a very quick Miami D. Throught two games, Bradford has 8 TDs and 0 INTs. Malcolm Kelly caught four passes for three TDs. He would have been four out of four, but a pass off of a reverse from Manuel Johnson was short, and Kelly had to come back for the ball. The RBs ran pretty well. Keith Kackson Jr continued to excel, catching 8 passes.

The D was fabulous, holding the 'canes to eight first downs. Most of those came when Kyle Wright was subbing for Freeman. He led Miami on an 18 play 52 yard drive that included two fourth down conversions and a couple of pass interference calls. Wright was taken back out of the game, for reasons unknown until I review the game tape. Reggie Smith recovered a fumble and took it to the house for a score as well.
