Game Thread: Miami Dolphins Pre-Season Thread

Pre-season but would've preferred getting the 3 points there than going for it - there is a competition at the K position as well -- so let them get their kicks in to settle the race.

well -- it was only a matter of time before that Fins D gave up a long run - unfortunately, it results in the game-tying TD.

Its the backups and the backups to the backups but still

Unfortunately, Osweiler, has played his way out of this roster in practice, camp and in pre-season.

Fins will be alright at back up -- and Brock has struggled in his career to find his way -- but I still think its unfortunate how bad of a turn things have turned considering the flashes he showed early on in his career when given chances.

Hope he quickly finds a team to continue re-ignite his career - should he not make the Fins roster.

I don't now about this, but seem fins are having same issue from last 10+ years, can't score points, esp TD's They just seem unable to get the 6,

There is talent on the offense but it is still a work in progress. Stills had a great game. Amendola showed why he has contributed to championships. The way he gets open and makes guys miss is something special. The points will come with the offense. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

The defense looks more ready than the offense for the regular season. Quinn was a great addition to this team. He looks like he will be one of the top guys in sacks this year. Wake can still bring it. The DT's and other positions have talent and should keep progressing.

The Fins drafted well. They landed guys with starter talent in multiple rounds.

Moving Fitzpatrick to slot CB was a good decision. He will make plays for the team at that position. He played more CB than safety at Bama & he is comfortable there. McCain wont make it easy for WRs to make catches on the outside.

Fales is still the top backup QB in my opinion. I like his pocket presence and field vision. He made the mistake with the INT but he also had a dropped TD pass. When he came in on his first drive he was in an absolute zone.

Hopefully, Grant has a full and quick recovery from the concussion. He's a player that is progressively improving and helps the team when he is on the field.

Starting D was good Quinn is a monster! The backups weren't good.

Tanny was better after a shaky start. Fales was OK but I like Petty for potential. Hopefully he's not hurt for long.

Last pre-season game before start of regular season!

 

[Paolo305613]

Regardless of significance, or lack of in this game -- who is on the field, etc -- a very encouraging and needed scoring opening drive for Brock and the Fins reserve unit.

 

[Paolo305613]

Backup defense bringing it a whole lot better than the starting D has at any point in this pre-season -- good and bad.

 

[Paolo305613]

McTyer with the tip - Stephone Anthony with the pick

 

[Paolo305613]

Horrible time for such a mistake for Drew Morgan there

 

[Paolo305613]

Gotta love what some of our guys are doing tonight - they are stepping up as necessary in a 4th pre-season game -- lots a good film content out there for the Fins to use AND for other teams to look at when guys are cut.

Yea, too bad the dolphins look the best with 3rd/fringe players vs the others as well.

To be honest the starters have been ok all preseason it's been the depth players that have been horrible. So this is nice to see as I was worried about their depth. They dominated in every aspect...
