the Dolphins are 0-3, to start of the season.

The Dolphins down 31-14 in the fourth quarter, came back, but lost to Chad Pennington and the New York Jets, 31-28.

Chad Pennington threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another. He showed excitement after he scored his third touchdown of the day. He pumped his chest with his fist to the fans as a show of passion. Last week, he was doubtful to play the this game, but practice during the week and started for the team.

On the other hand, the Miami Dolphins are now 0-3. There's so many questions to be answered. When will former BYU quarterback rookie, John Beck start? When will the offensive line finally protect there quarterback?

One thing is for sure, Trent Green has been a good quarterback thus far. The few mistakes he made, was when he was not being protected by his offensive line. The Dolphins kicking game has been good, with Jay Feely. The talented running game from Leon Wasington and Ronnie Brown has been mediocre.

In all, Miami's offensive has been good, but the defense not's so good.

The Dolphins defense has not been able to stop the run. In there first three games, Miami's rushing defense has allow 100 or more yards to running backs; Clinton Portis, Marion Barber and Thomas Jones.

This week the Dolphins face the Oakland Raiders. Running Back, Lamont Jordan is second in the league with 350 yards rushing. He average's for more than 100 yards a game. Which means this week, Miami's rushing defense has to stop the run. The question is can they?
