5 Instant Takeaways: Miami Dolphins At Tampa Bay Bucs

[DKphin]

I'll add: I really like Laird and hope he makes the final 53.

Josh Rosen started at quarterback for the Dolphins on Friday night, but the most encouraging aspects of a game at the Bucs came on defense.

The Miami defense held Tampa Bay to 2.5 yards per play in the first half, recording three sacks and one forced fumble.

Miami has its issues, particularly along the offensive line and in the secondary. As Brian Flores attempts to instill a culture discipline, accountability and toughness, one overriding problem figures to plague the team this season — a lack of talent.

Here are five instant takeaways from Miami’s second preseason game of the season:

A good chance to go 2-14.
But if it means Tua and hope lets rejoice at being bad.

Are you rooting for the wrong team? Sounds like it to me...

Remember, some of the 2-14 fans are rooting for Tua - not a team

I got a blur redacted article from the feckin' Palm Beach Post...

And the rest of you mouth breathers don't deserve 2-14...

Tua come with no guarantee...

Laird and farrow are obvious cuts.

They have to decide on Walton and gaskins. I think they probably carry both but it might depend on if they carry the cox kid. And I’m not really seeing much there right now to say you must carry me.

But that might be also his versatility hasn’t been featured either.

This team will not go 2-14. Some people are going to be disappointed.

 

[NBP81]

Has it entered any of your minds that maybe some of us arent rooting for 2-14, but we just see the team as it is and 2-3 wins might be the most likely scenario? Do you think Grier expects to make the playoffs?

What about Ross? who usually comes out this time of year stating he absolutely expects a good team, alot of wins and the playoffs this time around... No sign of him... Hmmmm... Well we havent heard a peep since the "Gotta take a step back in order to... blah blah blah".

Some are rooting for the 1st pick because thats most probably what Ross and the GM are rooting for too... They just cant say it out loud...

I agree. You are starting to see the scheme offset talent on d

The scheme alone is going to be night-and-day vs. Burke. And there is some talent on the defense. I have much more confidence in the current coaching staff’s ability to put these players into positions where success is possible.

I’m not predicting playoffs or even a .500 record yet, but 2-14 is not happening.

Are you talking about yesterdays game? If so how much of an impact did the weather have in making defensive play look good?

Of what we have seen in games, you're telling me that Walton has looked better than Laird?
