Still contemplating heading out there since its blacked out down here. Don't get paid until tomorrow and I'm not too interested in spending close to a hundred bucks tonight (2 tickets, parking, gas, food) for the 4th preseason game . . . especially if I have to do it for the Houston game in week 2. Lemme head on Stubhub and Craigslist to see whats out there.
Here are some battles to watch:
#5 and potentially #6 WR - Wallace/Moore/Livas - Wallace has the most upside, Moore has gotten more looks, Livas is the returner - should be interesting
#3, #4, #5 and potentially #6 CB - Sapp/Allen/Wilson/Carroll/Ness - Is Will Allen healthy? Is Nolan Carroll playing his last game as a Dolphin? Will Wilson continue to shine?
Starting FS - Jones/Clemmons - Both guys have been quiet in the preseason . . . will one of these guys make the mistake or create the play to vault them in as the starter?
Depth at TE and RB - We got Fasano and Bush/Thomas . . . is our 2nd string TE on the team? Epps? Mastrund? How is LJ gonna look tonight? Is Hilliard a definite lock? Could fan favorite Lou Polite be cut? Where is Charles Clay? Can Grigsby make a case to make the roster?
3rd string QB - O'Connell and Devlin have been AWOL since the ATL game . . . will we see them this week? Is Miami only going with 2 guys (after being down to their #3 QB twice in the last 2 seasons)? Is their #3 guy on another team right now?
Front 7 Bubbles - Baker, Fields, Kearse, Mitchell, Trusnick, Francis, Spears and company . . . who is gonna step up tonight.
The OLine - 4th game or not . . . they need to play better, both the starters and the backups. The Dallas front 7 is very talented. Should be a good test.
