Vontae Davis News

There's no love lost between the Dolphins and New York Jets. Following Mark Sanchez's five-turnover meltdown Sunday against the Patriots, the Dolphins have even more reasons to despise Rex Ryan's Jets.

Thoughts from the Dolphins 24-17 win against Carolina: 1. Rookie cornerback Vontae Davis played New England's Randy Moss earlier this year.

KICKOFF: Thursday, 8:20 p.m. ET SURFACE: Grass TV: NFL Network KEYS TO THE GAME: With only four days between games, the Dolphins are further taxed by needing to get RB Ricky Williams comfortable in running the Wildcat with Ronnie Brown out.

And so we come to this. Sitting at 4-5, the Miami Dolphins face a must-win situation tonight as take on the equally desperate 4-5 Carolina Panthers.

With the Dolphins embracing a youth movement, it's only a matter of time before wide receiver Patrick Turner gets on the field.

All season, Dolphins fans have bemoaned their team's lack of good breaks, especially when compared to last.

Sigh. If there was a Super Bowl for giving fits to the best of teams without ever winning, may we present your 2009 World Champions, the Miami Dolphins .

MIAMI - Every so often, Dolphins wide receiver Patrick Turner will look down at his cellphone to another new text message from a friend, whether someone he knows from high school or college, always hitting him with the same question.

The New Orleans Saints offense impresses and depresses at the same time. A fan of explosive offensive football? Then you're impressed.

"You have to hit him," Torbor said. But Torbor and his Miami teammates barely touched Brady when it mattered most in Sunday's 27-17 loss to New England.

Halfway through the season, the Miami Dolphins have already matched last year's loss total.

When Vontae Davis started off the game with a leaping interception that can only be described as Fuck Yea!, the consensus feeling was the Dolphins were going to make this one interesting.

Ronnie Lott ? "Sounds familiar," Chris Clemons says, without conviction. Ronnie Lott? "Safety, big hitter," Sean Smith says.

Brady is on a 400-yard pace with way too much time way too often to sit in the pocket and cherry-pick open receivers.

Rookie Vontae Davis battled hard and stole the ball away for a twisting, tumbling interception on the first deep pass that was sent Randy Moss' way Sunday.

RUN OFFENSE: C-minus Pat White was unleashed. The rest of the running game was unremarkable.
