Active Roster
That is all you can look at in the first preseason game. There wasn't anything that we did horibly bad at so we have to focus on the positve.
Ray Lucas: What can you say about his performance tonight besides perfect. He looked great on just about every play, he made great reads, he had made great throws, and he was even great on the play action. The thing that I liked most about seeing Ray tonight is he really looked comfortable in this offense. How many teams can really say that in the NFL with almost every team's 2nd QB being a rookie or 1st year free agent. God forbid anything should happen to Jay, but if it does we have a guy that got a lot of action in training camp, apears to be comfortable in the offense, and can do everything that our starter can do so Norv doesn't have to try to chnge the offense.
Robert Baker: I posted about this kid a week ago, and he took the first step towards proving me right tonight. What did he have 5 catches for nearly 100 yards in 2 quarters, not bad. The thing that impresed me about him is he made catches in every postion a wr plays. He made plays out of the slot, he made a huge play on a deep pass, and he also did a couple OG impersonations as a possesion WR. The problem is he is playing behind 4 locks at WR ahead of him, and he hasn't shown that he is a special teams threat. I would have to think that Dave may be rethinking his first thought of keeping 6 backs and 5 wrs. Baker looks as though he will force Dave to keep his as the 5th WR, and then keep someone else as a KR/PR. If Ward or Mcknight get any injury problems they better play anyway because Baker may steal their postion.
OGunleye: Wow! Wow! Wow! He out powered, our ran, and out thought every one on the Bucs o-line on his way to 4-5 sacks. His most impressive play was when they were interveiwing Robert Edwards and he just threw Walker to the side with one hand then slammed King to the ground. I hope he earned a chance to start against the Saints on Thursday so we can get a better idea of what he can do. But Wow!
Others worthy of a mention: Mcmichael looked very good on his only catch, Konrad looked very good catching and then runing afterwards, and the DT Taylor had a sack and played solid he looks as though he will push Haley and Gant for the 3rd DT spot.
The only negative that I will mention is something I said last night Kustok does not belong in the NFL. His passes look like helium balloons, and he telegraphs his passes more than the 12 year old qb i coached 2 years ago. He will not be a Dolphin by the weekend.
