Cornerback Xavien Howard was targeted a league-high 13 times in Week 2 and allowed a league-high 10 receptions for 87 yards, including a key one on San Diego’s final drive that ended with a missed field goal. His overall grade of 46.8 ranked 62nd among all cornerbacks for week two.
Rookie first-rounder Charles Harris played 27 snaps and had one quarterback hurry. In all, a relatively quiet debut.
While PFF ranked Davon Godchaux poorly for the day, he appeared to be playing well. He logged 32 of Miami’s 58 defensive snaps - more than Jordan Phillips’ 21 - and was part of a Miami defense that limited the Chargers to 3.1 yards per carry.
• PFF says Ja’Wuan James played very well Sunday; he ranks 12th among all offensive tackles after Week 2.
• The Chargers blitzed Jay Cutler only three times in 35 drop backs and Cutler made them pay.
Per PFF, Cutler had the fifth-highest grade of all quarterbacks in Week 2. When facing no pressure, Cutler completed 20 of 24 passes for 199 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions, for an NFL passer rating of 115.1.
In 11 drop-backs under pressure, Cutler was 4-9 for 31 yards and had a rating of 53.5.
Also, Cutler’s 101.8 rating ranks 11th in the league.
In the last five non-preseason games he’s played with Adam Gase calling plays, Cutler has a passer rating of 117, 93.4, 100.2, 97.5 (those four games in 2015 in Chicago with Gase as the offensive coordinator) and now 101.8 Sunday.

I think Phillips is done in Miami after this year...hopefully we get a COMP pick for him when he leaves.
