Ronnie Brown had a great day today, rushing for 134 yards on 15 carries for a TD (including a 60 yard dash) and 73 receiving yards on 6 receptions. Unfortunately, there wasn't much else to write home about in this one as the Dolphins lost, 35-17.

Once again, our rushing defense killed us, allowing 299 yards on the ground with 3 TDs. All 3 of them were ran in by Daunte Culpepper, who had 28 yards on the ground. Besides that, he was 5 for 12 for 75 yards, 2 TDs and 0 INTs.

After scoring one of the TDs, he was... well, really excited. And, that's fine and understandable. But, then, he made a prolonged scene by facing the Miami stands, pointing at them, pointing at his knee and putting up an OK symbol. He didn't do this just once, though, but like 50 times.

Now, I wrote, back when he was still a Dolphin, that we shouldn't get rid of him. And Cameron probably didn't handle it as good as he could have. But, what Daunte did today was not classy at all.

Your knee is OK? Cool. Happy for you. I don't wish bad things on people. However, we paid you a bunch of money and you produced nothing. I'm not saying it was your fault, but you weren't put through hardships and you aren't Gandhi. Could part of the reason that your knee is OK now be because of the time that you spent rehabbing on our dime? Yeah, I think so.

Donovin Darius led the defense today with 9 tackles, Derrick Pope had 8 tackles and Matt Roth had 6 tackles and a sack. We were able to force a fumble on a punt return and that was the Raiders only turnover. There was a fumble by a Raiders running back in the 4th quarter, if I recall, that was ruled down by contact. Cameron challenged it and it looked like it would go our way, but didn't.

Trent Green was 14 of 25 for 158 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs. The interceptions continue to kill us. Ronnie was his favorite target, but Justin Peelle had a solid day, as well, with 45 yards on 3 catches, including a 35 yard catch and run on 4th and 4th. He also caught a TD.

Next Sunday, we'll play the Titans in Houston at 1:00 PM ET.
