Every Chad Henne Interception From The Miami Dolphins 2010-2011 Season [Video]

I have finally finished the video that I hope you guys have been waiting for: the video of every Chad Henne interception from last season with the Miami Dolphins.

I know it took me a pretty long time to make this one, but I have figured out a good system for putting the videos together, so I should be able to put future videos together more easily.

Here is the video:




I hope you guys enjoyed. Please share the videos with other Dolphins fans. Here is the url to the video that you can email them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu_cdC2aDEg

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you guys liked the video. I have created a YouTube channel for Dolphin Shout called DolphinShoutChannel, so if you have a YouTube account please feel free to friend and/or subscribe to me.

Also, I just realized something. Chad Henne threw 19 interceptions last season. Brandon Marshall's jersey number is 19. Coincidence? You tell me.

Should We Complain About The Dropped Balls By The Miami Dolphins Secondary?

Poor Chris Clemons
The Miami Dolphins defense has been superb this year. Mike Nolan has completely transformed them into one of the best defenses in the league, and without them the Miami Dolphins would be way below .500 right now.

Nolan really has done a superb job with the team, and thanks to him we don't have to rely on Chad Henne or Dan Henning's play calling as much. Miami's defense has kept games close and hasn't allowed teams to pull away when their offense wasn't scoring.

My only complaint about the Dolphins defense, though, has been their inability to catch the ball for interceptions. Miami's defense has probably had a minimum of 15 chances for interceptions that they just dropped. The ball has been in the hands of the Dolphins defense countless times, they just haven't been able to hold on to it.

I am grateful for the defense's ability to get in the way of the pass, don't get me wrong, it is just frustrating to see opportunities like that to go to waste. I can think of four different times where if one of the Miami defenders were able to catch the ball they would have had an easy touchdown.

Sean Smith (my favorite Dolphins defender) has probably been the worst about it. He has done a great job of getting in front of the pass, but he just can't hang on to the ball when it reaches him. In the Jets game alone, if I am not mistaken, Smith had at least seven different chances to intercept a pass that he didn't capitalize on. He batted the ball down every time, which is good, but he couldn't bring it in for a pick.

As frustrating as it is to me to watch the pass after pass dropped by a Dolphins defender, I still can't really complain. Miami's secondary is doing an excellent job of keeping the offense from catching the ball. There have been cases where inability to catch the ball on defense had a bad result. For example, Chris Clemons had a chance to intercept a Carson Palmer pass earlier this year, but instead he couldn't hold on to it and ended up hitting it into the air where Terrell Owens caught it for a touchdown. Those cases are rare, though, and until they start happening with any regularity I won't complain.

I'm just thinking that the Miami Dolphins are still feeling the effects of Ted Ginn Jr. He always dropped the ball, and it must have started to rub off on the defense.

Thanks for reading, and let me know what you think about the butterfinger defense.

Refs Messed Up Dolphins Game Against Pittsburgh Again

Not that you guys probably want to be reminded about the referees messing up the Steelers game, but here is something else they messed up on.

The Dolphins very last offensive play before the turnover-on-downs against the Steelers will be counted as an interception for Chad Henne.

If you remember, the ball was knocked from Chad Henne's hands as he started to throw it, and the ball hit the ground while a Pittsburgh defender was trying to intercept it.

Replays showed that the Steelers defender obviously didn't intercept the ball, and we all assumed that it was just considered an incompletion. It wasn't, though, and while it doesn't affect the result of the game, it is just another mistake that the officiating crew made late in the game.

But, that is not the main idea of this post. I know the title makes it sound like it, but I have to say the following.

I am going to use the rest of this post to talk about a complaint I have about how the mistake by the officials of last Sunday's game have been handled. I am sorry to anyone who doesn't want to hear more about last week's game, but I was thinking about this and it got me pretty mad. So, I figured I would write about it.

But, before I say anything else, let me get this across. I don't hate any of the referees who were officiating the Dolphins-Steelers game. I understand that people make mistakes, and nobody is perfect.

What I don't like, though, is that the NFL (or somebody representing them) has not apologized for the mistake made late in the game. Referees make mistakes, and normally instant replay can fix those mistakes, but this time it didn't, and the referees' mistakes cost Miami the game.

Sure, referees are obligated to think quickly and make decisions quickly, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have tried to see who recovered the ball. Their mistake was that they didn't bother to see which team ended up with the ball. The call may have been a touchdown, but you never know what could happen. It wouldn't have been that hard to see who had the ball, but they didn't.

I do not hate the refs, and I am not questioning that they are good at their jobs. I believe they are honest and fair referees, but they aren't perfect. I just want to hear an apology for the mistake. Call me weird because it won't actually change the outcome of the game, but I want the NFL to acknowledge it wasn't handled correctly.


Please leave a comment on what you think the NFL should do. Am I alone in wanting an apology? Let me know below with your comment.
