Patriots Offense Too Much Dolphins lose 17-27
The Patriots proved they still have the offensive weapons to rattle any defense. While the Dolphins had success running the Wildcat with Pat White, Tom Brady and Randy Moss showed the Dolphins what hall of fame players can do to a defense.
The rookie Dolphins backfield did a fabulous job of covering most of the time. Randy Moss did his magic as Tom Brady had all day to throw and get it anywhere close. The only way to stop the Patriots is to sack Brady. Unfortunately, that did not happen.
Vontae Davis had a pick, but I think that interception was all the inspiration Moss needed to take his game to that next level and totally dominate when he was thrown the ball.
Starks and Wake each had a sack.

Dolphins introduce new formation
The Dolphins unveiled a different breed of “Wildcat” against the Patriots with Pat White acting as the point man. The rookie signal caller brought an added dimension to the formation as his potential to pass kept New England from bringing a host of blitzes off the corner when he entered the game. Additionally, Miami used the tactic to introduce a pistol-like formation that is prevalent in college. The modified shotgun formation brought White closer to the line of scrimmage (about four yards behind the center), which allowed the Dolphins to run speed option to the perimeter. While the tweak to one of their favorite offensive tactics didn’t result in a win, it gives defensive coordinators another gimmick to worry about when preparing for the Dolphins’ sophisticated rushing attack.
