Optimism is in good supply at the Miami Dolphins practice facility.

Everyone was in good spirits Saturday, a day after the Dolphins defeated the Carolina Panthers, 20-10, to improve to 2-0 in the preseason.

Running back Reggie Bush dazzled both his teammates and the home fans in his debut since being acquired from New Orleans, gaining 81 yards on 10 carries and showing the speed and flair that have made him a highlight reel regular.

Quarterback Chad Henne was 15 for 24 and 194 yards, while the defense kept Panthers rookie quarterback Cam Newton under wraps, limiting him to 7-for-14 passing for 66 yards and 18 yards rushing.
