Positives

  • Offense was 4-5 in the Red Zone.
  • 7-18 the offense was on 3rd down.
  • Averaged 4.7 per rush
  • 343 to 185 in total yards
  • Won Time of Possession 36:38 to 23:22
  • Brock Osweiler. He was excellent. 16-25 for 147 yards and 2 TD’s. His QBR was 106.6. He was in command and made some good throws in clutch spots. He was consistent all game.
  • Kalen Ballage returned strong. 24 yards on 4 carries and a TD. He caught 3 balls for 37 yards. He had a summer that showed he belonged.
  • Buddy Howell was productive again as a receiver: 26 yards on 3 catches and a TD.
  • Brandon Radcliff had 53 yards on 14 carries
  • Isaiah Ford 43 yards on 4 receptions.
  • Francis Owusu with a TD catch.
  • The defense held the hapless Falcons to 3-15 on 3rd down.
  • The defense was ready and forced a punt after a sudden change.
  • Torry McTyer with a PD which was intercepted by Stephone Anthony.
  • Jonathan Woodard sack.
  • Jordan Lucas had a sack, pick and 2TFL’s.
  • Jason Sanders from 56 yards with lots of room to spare.
  • Going for it on 4th down on the opening drive.
  • I do not have to deal with Game Pass until next year. The service needs improvement and is too expensive. Now it is on to Directv and their respective issues.
Negatives
  • Even with Turnover Differential.
  • David Fales missing a wide open receiver on a wheel route.
  • Fales bad luck interception.
  • Zach Sterup gave up an easy sack.
  • Eric Smith holding call.
  • Sanders missing well short (might have been tipped) from 51.
  • Drew Morgan muffed punt.
  • Terrible call on Atlanta for a roughing the passer call on Fales.
  • Bad look not having the entire team travel. Work as a team.
Overall Assessment

  • Brock Osweiler should be the backup QB. He has experience. He has had some success in the league. I am still convinced Adam Gase wants to make Osweiler legit in order to stick it to Denver. That said, David Fales is simply not an NFL QB. He gives effort, but really, what has he done and what does he have in terms of potential to get a roster spot? Osweiler has the best chance to keep a team afloat to finish a game or start a game or two if something happened to Ryan Tannehill. Anything more than that the team is done and we are asking when Path to the Draft starts.
  • Jason Sanders will be the kicker to start the year. However, I do not trust this situation and want to see what is around after cuts this weekend.
  • If I am the Fins I am at least looking for a LB to help with some depth. Baker, McMillian, Alonso and Allen are locked in. I think Anthony gets cut. Hull is banged up. Poling is not ready. Garvin could stick, but another LB that could help on special teams is needed. Scouts need to step up here. The unit is far too thin at this point.
  • Good to see the 2nd and 3rd defense bounce back after a lousy performance last week.
  • I would like to see Buddy Howell make it to the practice squad. Very productive and hard running back.
  • Speaking of RB’s. The work that Eric Studesville has done with the RB group is off the charts. He is an excellent coach...one that deserves a head coaching look. Miami’s backs will be productive as long as he is on staff.
  • Cameron Malveaux and Woodard are likely not on the 53 man roster this weekend, but they have great body types and have potential. I would be great to get them through waivers, but I would not be shocked if they are snagged. Lots of potential with them.
  • Time to have the cell phone handy starting Friday into Saturday to watch the cuts come in around the league while at the same time watching some good college football games. Football is back in a big way. Fins up!
 
I agree about osweiler. Exactly as you said. He’s our best shot if tannehill misses a couple games. He misses more than that and we’re cooked.
 
Thank you. Your assessments are always refreshing to read!

I'm calling Fales as QB2. Sorry one game against third and fourth stringers after a MISERABLE preseason doesn't qualify Brock for QB2.

A lot of Green Bay’s regulars didn’t travel to KC for what it’s worth. It happens around the league.
 
Didn't watch the game, better picture painted here than anywhere else...excellent.

So Lucas was balling eh? He's one of those guys I forget is a Dolphin for months at a time. Glad to hear he had a night to remember at least.
 
Fales : 2017 Dolphins Accuracy 67.4 Yards 265 TD 1 INT1 82.0QBR

Osweiler: 2017 Broncos Accuracy 55.8 Yards 1,088 TD 5 INT 5 72.5QBR

Brock has enough on tape to know exactly what you are getting regular season and it's NOT GOOD.

Fales has only two years in the league and has barely played.

My gut says fales QB2 all the way

Fair enough. I'm leaning towards Brock. He's edged it out during this competition in my opinion. That and the experience factor and I'd give him the nod.

Please stay healthy Tannehill
 
Predictable effort. Highest energy level you'll ever see from NFL teams are desperate on the road after a string of losses. I've mentioned that countless times. Nobody wants to go 0-4 in preseason

Otherwise, my only comment is that the trivia question was insulting. I knew immediately the same thing Nat Moore emphasized, that Bokamper was out his entire rookie season with a knee injury. But during the long delay before revealing their so-called answer I wasn't sure how they would evaluate that aspect. So I went with Griese. I knew he started more games as a rookie than Nat Moore. I get cat called within the house when they announce Bokamper as the answer: "You finally missed one."

Complete garbage. I agree with Joe Robbie's version. That's not a rookie.

The trivia question is the highlight of each preseason game so that was a major downer as finale.

Regardless, awesome job by Bob Griese, Nat Moore and Dick Stockton throughout. I don't know how many more seasons they can keep this up but I'll cherish every one.
