08/31: Dolphins Lose to Saints, 7-0
Posted by: Patrick
All the points scored last night were scored in the 1st quarter on a 3 yard Pierre Thomas run with an Olindo Mare extra kick. That's it. The Dolphins were shut out, 7-0 and only had 121 yards of total offense. John Beck was 8 of 15 for 63 yards and 2 interceptions. Gibran Hamdan was 3 of 7 for 31 yards and 2 interceptions. Patrick Cobbs led in both rushing (15 carries, 44 yards) and receiving (5 catches, 39 yards). Lorenzo Booker had 7 carries for 11 yards, Michael Malone had 2 catches for 27 yards and Kerry Reed had 2 catches for 20 yards. Kelvin Smith (1 fumble recovery) led the defense with 11 tackles, followed by Courtney Bryan, Edmond Miles, Jason Allen (1 INT) and Rodrique Wright, who all had 8. The Saints had 326 yards of total offense. Brandon Fields had 4 punts for an average of 44.3, including 1 inside the 20. His longest was 51. Jay Feely did not attempt a field goal. That's how bad it was. Not even a field goal attempt. Meanwhile, Mare attempted 3 and missed all of them, from 55, 50 and 33. You can watch video "highlights" at NFL.com. Interestingly, Cameron did not coach in this one: The Dolphins confirmed that head coach Cam Cameron will not be coaching tonight's final exhibition game against the New Orleans Saints so that his assistants could gain more experience running the team in case of an emergency. Cameron will be on the sidelines but will not call plays either as the coach or offensive coordinator, his usual roles. Instead, Capers, the defensive coordinator, will assume all head coaching responsibilities. Capers was head coach of the Carolina Panthers from 1995-98 and the Houston Texans from 2001-05. This quote is kind of odd: "I was the head coach. I don't know where that came from," [Cameron] said following the Dolphins' 7-0 exhibition loss to the Saints. "We just delegated some responsibilities, but we didn't delegate that." According to their RSS feed, the Dolphins official site had had an article called "GAME UPDATE: Beck To Start At QB, Capers To Serve As Head Coach" at this link. But, it is no longer accessible.
