Dolphins vs. Browns: 4 Keys to the Game for Miami at Halftime

1. Pressuring McCoy

Miami's defense has Colt McCoy on the run constantly.  They forced an ugly interception in the first quarter, but they can't allow his confidence to build.  He quickly recovered with a 33-yard touchdown pass while on the run in the second quarter to knot it up at seven apiece.  

If Miami can keep him scrambling and pressure him into more poor decisions and record a sack or two, it will spell big trouble for the Browns.

2. Reggie Bush

Miami's prized addition has looked horrible in the first half, recording negative yardage in five touches and just 12 yards in one punt return.  He's got to get more touches, but more than that, he must make something of them and get his head in the game.  

The Browns defense is simply not good enough to explain away these atrocious numbers.  Look for Bush to come out of the gates quickly and emphatically in the second half

3. Chad Henne

Besides a couple of sacks, which can partially be blamed on his offensive line, Henne is looking like an elite quarterback through the first half.  His short pass has been on-point the entire game and he's recorded 191 passing yards.  He's spread the love throughout his receiving crew, most notably finding Daniel Thomas for a 10-yard touchdown pass in the drive following McCoy's turnover.  

If his protection can keep the pressure off him in the second half, he could be looking at 400+ yardage.  We'll see if he can covert that great play into more than just two scores for 10 points in the final half hour

4. Daniel Thomas

Thomas has been all over the place in the first half.  He received on Miami's only touchdown and also recorded 50 rushing yards on 12 carries for 4.2 yards each.  He's looking much better than his previously mentioned, well-known counterpart.
