Game Thread: Miami Dolphins Week 1 Game Thread vs Tennessee Titans

Game Thread for the season opener.

Will post final roster and all that good stuff on here when it becomes available

The Fins -- have unfortunately cut CB Tony Lippett - hampered by injuries hasn't really bounced back health wise. I think this is an unfortunate and bad move. I hope he is brought back on PS -- he will catch on elsewhere otherwise.

 

[Paolo305613]

Some very disappointing cuts by the fins - I know some of these guys may be back on PS but still disappointed by some of the decisions.

As I have said before, Lippett is one surprise for me -- I know he has been injured but has shown some things when healthy.

At kicker I would've preferred Greg Joseph, who I don't think got enough chances over Jason Sanders but understand him being a draftee as a reason they kept him around as well.

Asiata is another surprise cut -- was a disappointment last season as a draft pick barely getting into game day roster -- but another guy this preseason who simply didn't get enough PT to show a comeback.

Eric Smith I hope comes back to PS as well as Buddy Howell and Brandon Radcliff - a lot of promise as RBs

Malcolm Lewis and Rashawn Scott I hope stick on PS but they've got too much promise to settle for that. Fins blew it here as far as the chance to have more WR depth - same with Isiah Ford and Morgan.

Garvin and Malveaux are two others on defense I think they blew for now if they don't bring back on PS - along with Anthony Moten.

It was a numbers game as usual as far as roster decisions - but also some unnecessary mistakes in cutting some of these guys. I hope they fix it by bringing some back on PS.

Will post actual final roster and depth chart when available

Directly from the team website is the roster and depth chart. Obviously between now and game-day things can change. Practice squad also coming

I don't think this depth chart is accurate just yet - I think we need to wait until game-day to see official depth chart. I don't think our rookie TEs will be that for down the chart.

Some updates on the formation of the Fins 10-man Practice Squad

Per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald

Asiata back with the Fins with the P-Squad
Leonte Carroo also back with P-Squad
CB - Jalen Davis
DE-Cameron Malveaux

DE- Jonathan Woodard has committed to joining Fins P-Squad
DT-Jamiyus Pittman
WR- Isaiah Ford also committed to Fins P-Squad
RB- Jeremy Langford also commits

Luke Falk, QB, who many on here wanted the Fins to draft to replace/compete with Tannehill claimed by Fins off the Saints - so I don't see why people would complain about this move, but Fins fans...

Tanner McEvoy WR - also claimed by Fins from Seahawks - a former QB in college.

Will post updated roster and PS when made official

 

[Paolo305613]

OL Connor Hilland who was with team during pre-season also just brought back for PS

 

[Ojb81]

[Paolo305613]

G-Issac Asiata
WR-Leonte Carroo
WR-Isaiah Ford
CB-Jalen Davis
C-Connor Holland
RB-Jeremy Langford
DE-Cameron Malveaux
DL-Jamiyus Pittman
LB-Quentin Poling

This is the latest depth chart for the Dolphins going into week 1 -- any thoughts?

 

[Paolo305613]

Adam Gase has said something similar to what he has said every year he has been here regarding the depth chart -- make very little of the order of particular players on the depth chart. Who starts where will depend on the play that is called/package.

Yeah we'll see a lot of nickel D that's why Minkah is important. Parker looks to be out already pretty disappointing... hopefully they don't play 5 WR all game or when they need a few yards. They'll fall right into Tennessee's trap. Make them guess at the play call.

I made this post most in regards to the offense. But your point is well made about the defensive side.

I was going to mention that with the added TE depth they can use more of those sets then boom Gray goes down. Crud but hopefully the rookies take the bull by the horns and become great.

Looking up and down the roster and depth chart, It doesn't look all that impressive to me. Saying there is very little high level talent on team, looks very average at best. Hope these guys can set up and make it a good year.

Not a lot of name talent but I believe that there is a lot of big name potential. Will they develop who knows. Can they exceed expectations who knows. Total wildcard but at least their QB is back. They should be able to run the ball. Can they stop it? May be the key..
