The Dolphins' QB coach, David Lee, was an assistant at Arkansas last year - those trick plays were all McFadden plays from college. I guess Belicheat doesn't watch Arkansas football. He certainly didn't have anybody there videotaping, that much is obvious.
Makes one wonder if Parcells found a chink in Darth Sweatshirt's armor?
Show the Pats any formations for which they can't prepare, and you've got them where you want 'em. Of course, it could well have been a one game wonder - would those plays have worked against the Cowboys? No. Jerry Jones is a rabid fan, being an Arkansas alum, and rookie RB Felix Jones was in the backfield that ran those plays last year. Which is why those plays wouldn't even have worked against the lowly Raiders, McFadden would have sniffed them out right away.
But they worked against the vaunted Pats defense.
Not to mention Joey Porter putting on a man-sized performance and backing up his mid-week case of diarrhea of the mouth.
"We were competitive in the kicking game, and was about it." - Billy Belichick at his post-game press conference after the Pats got waxed by the 'Fins. Oh, and it was in New England.
Interesting timing for a bye week, too.
