Rewatched the buc game.
270 replies
djphinfansubscriberOPI'm gonna focus on players were not sure of..
James had a clean first drive..
Thomas got beat really bad once on the drive which allowed a rushed throw and a hard hit on the Qb.
I thought Misi had a decent first drive, quick recognition of the backs on outlets, and had a pressure on a blitz..not bad.
2nd offensive series...Dallas Thomas again gets beat very hard, outmatched..tfl.
Thomas gets beat again To the inside pressure, rushes the throw gets called for a flag.
Mitchell's hustle stops a third and five, got to the sideline from the dtackle position to push Luke out of bounds.
Still in first quarter, Thomas gets beat bad for a tfl..that's four negative plays in one quarter..PFF would be having a conniption, he was best so bad he whiffed on the defender and hit his own guy.
Follows it up with a poor pass protection rep..Tannehill bailed him out...that's five.
And follows it up with a very bad rep on the Tannehill fumble, that's all on Thomas and that's 6 negative plays in basically one quarter..dude should be benched this week..
Dion Jordan stumbles trying to cover the tight end allows the pass to be completed inside the twenty, looks like his legs were heavy.
Finnegan was solid in some coverage, looks quick and seems to have good feel.
Saw a nice read by Misi and McCain as the Sam, McCain exploded to the Los to take on the block, Misi followed suit and finished..
Misi flowin down the Los to make a tackle, he's playin better this game.
OV on that sack in the 2nd quarter just out muscled and out hustled the other guy..he's an impressive bull, and he's becoming a bit crafty.
False start on Dallas Thomas.
Ok, now were cooking, the kid McCain lines up in the wide 6 tech, play goes to the other side, he bursts unblocked and runs it down, tfl.
I watched Dion for 7 reps on that drive in the 2nd quarter..nothing.
Rishard Matthews had two beautifully coordinated catches on the Moore drive before the half...big, strong, great hands, hi level athleticism, man we are deep..Wallace and Hartline better not get comfy with these three cats on their tails, their all three tough kids who play a physical style of ball.
Our first round pick has played steady as she goes, has very nice lateral recovery speed.
Turner playin next to James for a bunch of reps, I think with Thomas shi&ing himself on the field tonite you have to give these two equal reps with the first team next week and make your decision from there.
Holy crap, McCain did it again, this time coming all the way from the outside backer position, his speed in pursuit allows him to track the ball carrier all the way down the Los, once again unblocked, nails the guy to cause the fumble.
Just watched will Davis come up and get low on a back comin full steam on a sweep, well down, showed toughness.
Dion get His first real pressure on the Glennon fumble.
Billy Turner gets to the 2nd level with authority on a darkwa run.
Just like he did in college will Davis is leading the nation in passes defensed..I don't know if it's true but I would bet, and I'm counting the bogus pass interference ones the last two games..
Fede gets his sack in the fourth, raises his hands like Tom hanks in castaway ( look what I have created, fire) great motor on the play, showed strength.
Yeah man, nice play by Anthony Johnson, stands his man up at def end, rips him away with strength and aggressiveness and sticks the ball carrier, that wasn't his first good play either..
Someone put an APB on jelani Jenkins...where u at man..
Just watched Jordan play like a girl..no fight in that boy right now..
I hope Fede completely dedicates himself to his craft,there's room for physique improvement..it's not bad, but there's room.
Holy sh@&... One minute to go in the game, McCain lines up at def end in a three point, explodes and rips at the same time, blocker goes to the ground he gets the Qb and rips him to the ground disrupting the whole play...great play...
They threw Dion Jordan in there on that last drive for about 5 reps...nothing...he looked like he looked last week, no plan, no set up..
And last but not least, tony hills played another clean game except one small whiff, dude has an NFL body, it's symmetrical, he's strong, he most def plays with heart and hustle and has the best kickslide among all the backups..I wouldn't be suprised to see him move up..he's got potential and I expect him to be at least put on practice squad..I like him and I think he deserves to be on the roster..

Let me know if there is anything specific.
Rocky RaccoonmoderatorI said it last week and I'll say it again tonight, there's something about Will Davis that makes me believe he's going to be a stud. I know we were all impressed with him last preseason, but he looks really awesome out there. He's always making plays around the ball.

He made a really great athletic play on the bogus pass int..the follows right back up with another PD, then comes up and sticks the back on a sweep..we know he's smart, we know he had one of the best combines, we know he can ball hawk,can he put it all together..he's definitely heading in that direction..

It will be there, I've heard from the sources mouth, just another advantage of the club and why it's worth it...in ridiculous that he cuts it up for us like that
djphinfansubscriberI still would inquire about Boone just to see what's going on, I say that without knowing his game, but we can't leave tannehill out to dry this year
Nothing on our TE's?

Agreed , worth it just for that.

Sims had a nice catch. On a curl, Egnew on a quick out then he turned upfield.

Oh, and Abramson is reporting that Clay has told him he will be ready for the regular season..
keithjacksonsubscriberWill Davis is proving to be the surprise of camp for me. I'll be honest, he was my least favorite pick last year cuz he seemed to avoid tackling at all costs, looking like a little boy playing with men. But he's starting to show he can play in the big league now and showing he might be our best DB while the ball is in the air.

Phoenician Fanforum_veteranTony Hills is 29 and been around the league. He isn't PS eligible.
He has always been a talented OL and I wanted to draft him but I;m glad we didn't draft him.
He is as injury prone as they come, and once he gets dinged up his play falls off the table.
I doubt he makes it through preseason, but yes, he can play.
MrCleansubscriberIt looked to me like Nate Garner pass blocked at LT better than he ever has. Benton must have gotten him to correct some flaws in his technique.

keithjacksonsubscriberAny Jordie Tripp thoughts? I couldn't really notice anything from him tonight and it was driving me crazy how the announcers never named anyone or mentioned when we made subs.
Do you watch it the replay with a roster list of jersey numbers?

Alex13subscriberI think if you wanted improvement from last weeks game, we got it bigtime in most areas besides run blocking, our passing game looks good right now, i have no idea if we can sustain that with
no running game, but Tannehil and Moore had time to throw most of the game.
i have to ask is there a deeper receiver core 1-5 in this league ? I´m not sure right now. Wallace had a bad game, but that long ball to him was clearly PI, at least to me.
I think the Defense improved bigtime to last week, they were fighting to get to 200 yards until that last ****ing drive of the game, i don´t get the LB hate, they couldn´t run and pass on us for most of the game, i haven´t seen a dolphins preseason game in a while were the backups performed this good.
5 PD´s , 5 Sacks, 8 QB Hits, 4 TFL´s
12 Penalties for 111 yards has to be adressed, but we are always clean during the season, so my alarm clock has not gotten off yet
here is a little tease from the game

Mitchellenmanforum_veteranOnly watched the 1st half last night, but watched the rest back this morning. Overall, very impressed. Pre season results in sport don't really matter, but I did have a smile on my face when I saw the final score. Defense was better last night, and the offense still excites me. Roll on next Saturday for the Cowboys!

That was a nice fake from the endzone view...sold it well.

CitizenSnipsNew MemberWell, if nothing else, sounds like our OT's are getting their jobs done on the outside. I have yet to hear Albert or James name in a bad light.

Boone wants to get paid like a top 5-10 guard, which is overpaying (like every other FA). that's a lot of money - not sure the management wants to shell that out. I'd rather they just bench Dallas Thomas and go with Smith. at least that way, maybe we can run the friggin ball
testing
Alex44New MemberI'm going to try and rewatch the game today but my initial impression was that one outside runs anywhere off tackle we aren't blocking the weakside or point of attack well at all. One or the other has the potential to blow up a play. Both are a recipe for disaster.
My other impression was that as a whole our pass blocking is light years ahead of last season. Dallas Thomas looked like the lone weak spot in that area. Hopefully Billy Turner shows something and takes his spot. Ill live with rookie mistakes over what Thomas provides.
Defensively I think Ellerbe is in trouble. Starters don't play that deep into games if their spot is secured.
Love me some Will Davis. That "penalty" was just a great play. Not sure how you can call that a penalty but not the holding deep down the field against Wallace.
Speakinf of Wallace. He has to catch that WR screen. He had room for a positive play. Dont blame him for the deep ball because it looked to me like he slowed because he was grabbed. The play itself looked better than last season. Ryan let it rip without hesitation and put it where it needed to be. Maybe a bit more air under it but its a learning process.
Overall I was happy with what I saw. We have issues but also fixed some glaring issues from last season.
On the draft Quentin Rollins bandwagon.

I agree...Shelley Smith graded out higher than Boone in run blocking, pass-pro (both are bad), and penalties.

:rimshot:
Thomas has to go for sure, we can't do this again this year. I'd put Smith back at RG where he was basically all of camp to both improve our run blocking and at least not get embarrassed like last night. Let Thomas and Turner both continue to work on their strength and technique as backups to start the year.
We gotta have some balance in the run game, this up-tempo Chip Kelly style really works when you have that run game (maybe ONLY when you have a run game - long term). We need Pouncey back and some better RG play for sure.
