Negatives- The D was ran through a couple times, maybe some more pressure would be nice too, even though it is a preseason game.

Not much of a running game. Ricky definitly looked rusty, hopefully that will improve because, he was stumbling alot on the field. Hopefully Nick will start Daniels to see what he can do, Howard was getting burned a couple times there. Lamar Gordon didn't really have much running room but he goes down too easily. Donald Lee dropped or fumbled another, pass the ball went out of bounds but if it wasn't and this was a reagular season game, that easily could been a careless turn over that Lee seems to commit a lot, because it looked like a fumble. Like I've already said The Defense didn't look to good to me, no pressure and Howard was getting burned. I hope Ronny Brown signs soon. The O- line did ok for pass protection, but as far as run blocking goes not too good, but it's early so I hope it improves, and hopefully Ronnie Brown can give a boost to the ground game also.

Positives- A.J Feeley didn't do to bad, but Frerotte played better what I noticed about Frerotte was how he wasn't shaken by pressure, and he was much more decisive with his throws, and more importantly he moved the ball. I liked how he knew where the blitz was coming from got rid of it quickly, and made some nice throws, or side stepped blitzes but still maintainin ghis composure and making a big throw on the money. He actually would have had two touchdowns if no. 40 didn't stumble iwhen going after the ball. As far as throwing goes, both guys threw the ball pretty well. Gus Frerotte's touchdown pass was off, but he threw while scrambling and there was alot of pressure, that was really his only off throw. I like how Frerotte was playing and he was split with the first and second string Defense, just incase you thought it was all 2nd string , he made nice throws against the first string, because he was in the last few seconds (the first string was still in early in the secoond quarter too) of the first becuase of Feeley getting crushed. The throw and great catch by chambers was against the first D, because I remember seeing Urlacher still in there. I also happy about how the receivers are doing Chambers, made a great catch, Booker just like in camp, wasn't flashy but caught a couple of mid range passes. Boston is looking good, and he played both first and second string also, He was giving Frerotte a reason to throw deep but Frerotte over threw him which was wainst the first string at the time, but then he made a nice move, on a screen pass, and made some good catches, he was making nice cuts, I really don't think it will be long before Boston is the no.3 on the depth chart, I actually think Derrious might not even be the no.4, becuase Gilmore made some nice catches, and could be a pretty good no.4 wideout.
 
What did you guys think of what Miami did good or bad in the game?
