The Miami Dolphins in the 2007 season won only one game, going 1-15 for the worst record in the NFL. After the first two weeks of the season it looked like they were heading down the same road. They lost first to the New York Jets in Brett Favre's first start as a Jet, then in the second week to the strong offense of the Arizona Cardinals. It looked like they were going to be 0-3 when they were scheduled against the New England Patriots who went 16-0 in week three. That didn't happen. The Dolphins surprised The Patriots with a formation used with some college football programs and rarely seen in the NFL. It is a formation where running back Ronnie Brown takes a direct snap from the center. From there, other running back Ricky Williams runs past Ronnie Brown. Ronnie Brown can either hand it off to Ricky Williams or keep it himself. On one play against the Patriots Ronnie Brown kept it himself, ran to the left, and threw a touchdown pass to the wide open tight end of the Dolphins for a touchdown. The Dolphins used a similar offense in the following week against the San Diego Chargers, and beat them by a touchdown. Now after four weeks the Dolphins are 2-2, already doubling their last season win total. Look for them to perhaps make a playoff run.
