We're hearing it may be an ACL for Ronnie, a setback of monumental proportions if true.

In Miami, when it rains, it pours.

Wow that sucks for Thomas. Good thing no one was hurt.

Jeez, I was hoping that it wasn't serious. When I saw it on replay I didn't see anyone near him.
I hope it's not to serious.

Do you consider it crashing your car if you're rear ended? Just sayin...

Picky, picky.

Fixed.

Ya, he just seemed to go down on it awkwardly trying to play D.

He planted and lost his footing on the surface. I read that he was having a lot of trouble getting around in the locker room after the game and left with a cast and crutches. One of the few bright spots for the Dolphins this year has his career in jeopardy. (But by far our biggest bright spot.)

Hopefully it's just a sprain, but the way the past 4 years have gone, it wouldn't suprise me if it was a tear.

Great news that Zach is OK.

This is the nadir for the Dolphins. The Pats went through it in the late 80's/early 90's - an aging defense, lack of talent on offense, an overmatched coach, a bumbling owner - but get a real coach and give him 3 years and you can be contenders again.

Glad Thomas is ok. Hope Brown isn't as serious as initially reported, or Hill for that matter.

Really sorry to see that, he's a fine back.

You guys need a ground up, anyway so he should be given time. Lemon might be an NFL quarterback, he looked pretty good.

Let's hope its not a torn ACL. He's looked like the real deal.

We must've watched a different game. I saw Ted Ginn open ALL day and Cleo was inable to connect with him on numerous occasions whether it was inaccurate throws or indecisiveness, he didn't get Ted the ball. He holds on to the ball too long and isn't very good at finding the hot receiver. He would be a very servicable back, but if Beck was named the starter tomorrow it wouldn't be soon enough.

Glad Thomas is ok. Sorry to hear about Brown (plus he's on my fantasy team!)

Lemon looked kind of slippery out there. He may be able to do something for you down the line.

He really has, if it's a serious injury the Fins might end up with Darren McFadden. As good as McFadden has been, I'd hate to lose a proven commodity.

Aqua, how much of Brown's success was due to the OL? do you think Chatman or Cobbs will be able to come close to replicating his production?

I wish ZT well.
I hope he wasn't driving po'd about the game.
Not to be a wiseguy.

even if ronnie brown is not hurt... maybe he should sit the whole season out, he would be fighting a losing cause....

Ronnie Brown is light years better then every back on the Dolphins roster combined. Samson Satele, Vernon Carey and Rex Hadnot have been awesome this year, but Ronnie has shown outstanding vision, power and quickness. Hopefully we see our 3rd round pick Lorenzo Booker for the first time.

I'm sure he was ticked, but he got rear-ended so it wasn't even his fault.
