MIAMI DOLPHINS​

QUARTERBACKS​

  • Skylar Thompson impressed once again. He finished 9-of-10 for 129 yards with two big-time throws. His only incompletion came via a drop.
  • Tua Tagovailoa was on target during his eight dropbacks. He went 6-of-8 for 58 yards with a drop.

RUNNING BACK​

  • ZaQuandre White showed why he was one of the more intriguing receiving backs in the draft. He flashed his talent in the open field on a swing pass score from Skylar Thompson.

RECEIVERS​

  • Erik Ezukanma made the play of the day when he mossed cornerback Chris Jones for a big gain up the right sideline. He paced all receivers with six catches for 114 yards.

OFFENSIVE LINE​

  • The first team offensive line handled business in pass protection. They combined to not allow a single pressure on their nine pass-blocking snaps together.

DEFENSIVE LINE​

  • Andrew Van Ginkel looked ready for the regular season. He had two pressures and two more wins on 12 pass-rushing snaps.

LINEBACKER​

  • Channing Tindall continues to make his presence felt this preseason. He notched two stops and didn’t miss a tackle on the day.
  • The Dolphins' linebackers had a solid tackling day, as they combined to only miss one tackle on 11 attempts.

SECONDARY​

  • Former first-rounder Noah Igbinoghene continues to get picked on. He allowed all three of his targets for 34 yards on only 12 coverage snaps.
  • Nik Needham continues to outperform his draft status (or lack thereof). He forced an incompletion on his only target.

SMH on Noah. I've been rooting for this dude and he just keeps disappointing. How can our scouts and GM get this one so wrong. I feel like it's pretty rare to whiff this bad. I mean undrafted players are out playing him.

Sorry for beating a dead horse here...

I've just never seen it in him.

Even his "athleticism" people tout, none of his test #s stand out for a corner except height and vertical. He's athletic for a corner his size, but that's fairly irrelevant overall.

Can't play the ball in the air which rarely improves much.

Personally I'd cut him this year. He's just a bad player and we need to accept it.
 
As thin as we are at CB currently, Noah has been and will continue to be the weak link on defense. No matter how well the other 10 guys play, opposing teams will find Noah and go his way. I was hoping that Surtain and Madison would be able to jump start his play; but so far just don't see it.

Our inability to run is concerning. Everything else really doesn't mean too much. Hope Needham is not too injured. Hopefully, Sanders has some mental fortitude as his psyche could be tested with the miss.

A scheme like McDaniels run game is about game planning. No serious game planning is happening now.

Also the defense isn't going to put 8-10 men in the box when Waddle and Hill are out there.

Nothing we are seeing now will be relevant in the regular season.
 
PFF does point out our positives and there was good in what I thought to be a boring game.

Skylar impressed more than game 1 and the team has a tuff choice on a roster spot.

OL gave nothing on 9 pass protects they played. Did we go that many without a pressure all of last year?

Ez impressed and I did not think he would make the roster.

Tindall is ahead of schedule in my book

Za is going to to challenge and I think make this team.

None of our stars came out to play but, we accomplished some good stuff for depth and future. I can live with that for a week.

Every year there’s always a consensus in the top 32 players at least. Miami said fawk all the experts and went with a project player in round 1 passing on the top back in the country that year Jonathan Taylor & every other player ranked lights years ahead of Noah.

The only consensus that I have come up with is the word experts is laughable. If they where experts they would be doing the job instead of talking about the job.
