Thomas cracks the century mark for Miami: NFL Regular Season Week Two

Daniel Thomas

Former Hilliard star  Daniel Thomas ran for 107 yards for the Miami Dolphins Sunday in a loss to Houston. Thomas did not play last week due to a hamstring injury, but became the first Dolphin to run for over 100 yards since the 2009 season. More here on this story.

Jabar Gaffney (Raines) started and caught 5 passes for 63 yards as the Redskins stay undefeated. C.J. Spiller (Union Cty) saw more action for Buffalo in their win; rushing for 63 yards, while also catching a pass and returned a couple of punts. Leon Washington (Jackson) continued his multi-dimensional role for Seattle, with one rush and 2 kickoff returns (19.5 avg). Jason Spitz (Bolles) saw action for the Jaguars on the offensive line. Tim Tebow (Nease) played for Denver...at wide receiver!  Tebow filled in this week in practice when the Broncos' receiver corps was thinned out by injury. He was not in on many plays and  was not thrown to during the game.

On the defensive side of the NFL DuvALUMNI ball, Cliff Avril (Clay High) started and recovered a fumble and had a pass deflection in Detroit's blow-out victory...Nolan Carroll (Clay) had two tackles on defense and one assist on special teams for Miami...Letroy Guion (Bradford Cty) started and had a QB hurry for the Vikings...Brian Dawkins (Raines) had three tackles and 1 assist with 1 pass defended for the Broncos. Rashean Mathis (Englewood) registered 7 tackles with 1 interception and a pass defended for the Jaguars in their blow-out loss to the Jets...Stephen Nicholas (Lee) had 3 tackles with a forced fumble and fumble recovery in the Falcons' Sunday night win over the Eagles. Nicholas also provided the final tackle of the game, stopping the dangerous DeSean Jackson on a punt return.

Many of the NFL's DuvALUMNI were inactive for this week's games: A pair of Broncos - Champ Bailey(Charlton Cty) and Marcus Thomas (Mandarin); and a pair of Titans - Jamie Harper (Trinity), and Rusty Smith (Paxon/Sandalwood) did not see action.
