It was apparent from the get go that the Dolphins wanted to work on their running game last night and it looked pretty good for the most part.  The QBs were just caretakers of the offense.   Trent Green was lustily booed last night in his return to Arrowhead Stadium but that didn’t effect his performance as he was 4 for 7 for 41 yards passing.  Cleo Lemon was throwing a lot of short passes when he entered the game as he was 8 for 11 for 52 yards.  John Beck looked pretty sharp again last night as he completed 5 of 6 passes for 52 yards.  Ronnie Brown had a surprisingly big workload last night as he carried the football 13 times for 57 yards (4.4 ypc) and he also caught a pass for 10 yards.  Jesse Chatman found it a little tougher against the Chiefs’ defense at least running the ball as he carried it 8 times for 19 yards (2.4 ypc) but he also added 5 catches for 43 yards.  Patrick Cobbs finished up with another solid effort as he carried the football 4 times for 27 yards (6.8 ypc) with a TD run and he also caught 2 passes for 9 yards.  So the Dolphins finished up the game last night with 34 carries for 126 yards (3.7 ypc) and they completed 17 of 24 passes for 121 yards.

The defense played pretty well last night until the backups came in and let Casey Printers move the football on them late.  Still the Dolphins had to be pleased with their overall performance on defense.  They were stingy against the run as the Chiefs finished with only 61 yards rushing on 27 carries (2.3 ypc).  But the Chiefs completed 17 of 26 passes for 224 yards so the Dolphins still have a little work to do before the regular season starts.
