Offensive spotlight: Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed six of his seven passing attempts for 121 yards, one touchdown and five first downs. He recorded one big-time throw — a 51-yard completion to WR Tyreek Hill.

Defensive spotlight: Dolphins linebacker Sam Eguavoen played 43 snaps tonight. He made four solo tackles and two defensive stops, and he added a sack and two hurries as a pass-rusher.

Rookie spotlight: Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean was on the field for eight snaps tonight, five of which were in coverage. He wasn't targeted in coverage, though he did still record two tackles.

Offensive line spotlight: The Dolphins offensive line was impressive tonight. On first review, they allowed only one hit and two hurries across 28 pass-blocking snaps.
 
The final preseason game was about as good as you can get. The one low light was the hit given up by Jackson. I think Hunter Long got more TV exposure on his two TD or not TD's than the entire time he has been on the team. :cool:
 
Ill catch up with film in an hour or so, I recall Jackson not holding his block long enough on the edge rush but could be wrong.
He held it for 3.6 seconds (according to a breakdown I saw), and really pushed his man past the pocket. Tua basically pulled it down after he was set to throw, and ran to the worst possible place. Not going to fault either one to a large extent. More of a combination of events. It happens.

PFF would not put a bad grade on that play from Jackson nor would I

Austin Jackson played a very solid game. Maybe he has turned the corner.
Sure he will be beat once and a while, but he isnt a whirling dervish anymore
I feel confident that, at a minimum, AJ is a solid RT. He has the physical ability to continue to develop so he may become more. With his talent level, I don't believe that eventually becoming a pro bowl level T is off the table. I wouldn't call it probable nor would I predict that, but it's still a possibility. But regardless, he's certainly not a liability anymore.
 
You guys are right on Jackson giving up anything. I was at the game (for a half) and missed the timing. In watching film on starters no one gave up nothing in pass protect and looked good on the run other than Liam who was OK.

I did notice our TE blocking, pass and run, was not good.
