2023 Preseason Game 2 – Dolphins @ Texans

It appears as if the Dolphins avoided a major disaster, losing LT Terron Armstead for an extended period of time after getting injured in practice, his first snap actually. Armstead left the field barely putting on any weight on the leg that was injured, but he says he’ll be ready for game #1, and there is no major injury requiring surgery. Now that we got that out of the way, there are a few things I want to see in preseason. Most importantly, NO MORE INJURIES!!! I would like to see CB Cam Smith continue to get important reps and show he’s serious about getting plenty of reps in the regular season. Backup QB’s Mike White and Skylar Thompson just have to do better. We know neither of them are going to run this offense as crisply and effectively as Tua, but we need them to be competent enough to put points on the board. I’m really hoping we see better play from both of these guys.

I would really like to see RB Chris Brooks get more carries, and see if we may possibly have something there. He’s not the prototype “big back” like Tennessee’s Derrick Henry, but compared to the stable of RB’s we have here in Miami, Brooks looks huge! I feel like all our RB’s are so close in running style and especially stature, that it would be nice to have a big back like Brooks make the team. Brooks is 6′ 223, while the lot of Mostert (5’10 205), Wilson (6′ 210), Ahmed (5’11 197), Gaskin (5’10 199) and Achane (5’9 188) are all very similar size wise. Yes, we have FB Alec Ingold who’s a load at 6’1 240, but Ingold has only 21 carries in 4 years in the NFL for a reason. Of course, the 4 best guys will make the team, this much I get, but I hope Brooks shows enough to be viewed as a possibilty to make the roster.

I’m curious to see more of LG Lester Cotton. He was great in practice, he had some very dominant reps, so I would love to see that dominance in game play, even if it’s a preseason game. It doesn’t matter what round you were drafted in on the O-line, if you can move people, you’re going to get noticed. Would I love Liam Eichenberg to play like the guy we hoped he could be when we moved up in the 2nd RD of the 2021 NFL at pick #42 to get him, of course, but at this point, I just want someone competent, and hungry for the job. If it’s Lester Cotton, who is actually 3rd string at RG, or Isaiah Wynn who is a veteran as well, I don’t care as long as they play well.

The competition at DT is pretty intense with DT’s Brandon Pili and Jaylen Twyman, Most importantly though, we need to get through the negotiations and sign DT/DE Christian Wilkins to a long term deal and keep him in Miami for another 6 years. He’s been an exemplary player, hard worker who brings it every week. Once Wilkins is signed the next up should be DT/DE Zach Sieler. There are some good battles at LB as well, with guys like Mitchell Agude, Mike Rose, and Aubrey Miller. It’s no given that last year’s 2nd RD pick LB Channing Tindall is a lock to make the roster, how these guys play on special teams could be the key to making the 53. BTW, the pronounced demise of the Mac was a bit premature. It’s slow, and uncooperative at times, and I do need to get a new one, but this article was written on the Mac, so LONG LIVE THE MAC!

    We released LB Mike Rose yesterday that’s a surprise to me, I thought he was playing well. Had to make room for AJ Johnson apparently. I thought Rose was a good PS prospect. I guess he still could be unless Belichick snatches him up. Pats have a bunch of our former guys including Calvin Munson who got a lot of playing time with us, at least more than you would have expected.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      That’s a positive, but have we ever beaten Rodgers? He’s the wildcard

      I want to believe he’s over the hill, but I know better

      The trend I do like is what our D has done in PS, sure just PS, but years past our identity has shown up in those games

      If we had Ramsey we would’ve unleashed the beast on the NFL

  22. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    One thing I’ve never understood from D is not letting a receiver catch a pass behind the LOS, where you have an easy tackle for a loss

    Watching Ryder McConville: Tindall
    This one was a shitty pass, so doesn’t apply, it just brought the concern from memory

    They always seem so aggressive to break up the pass

    Either you’re there early and pick it off or let them catch it and make a quick tackle

    Don’t they teach that or are the defenders too eager to get the pass breakup stat?

    Too bad you didn’t buy a dozen stej donuts and proceed to stomp on the box in the middle of the store

    • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

      I was close to doing something like that but the cashier didn’t oblige when I said

      “give me the whole rack of donuts, those putrid green sprinkles you use to make them and a flamethrower”

      So I had to settle for 1 donut to eat

      Yeah the Bills seem to be under some duress. I hope they are experiencing window fatigue which can happen when a hard ass style coach like McDermott over revs the guys, but then they don’t win it all so there’s a big let down.
      If giving 110% is how your team is built to succeed that’ll fail in a few years because 110% is an imaginary number.

    SAME PATTERN FOR TUA
    Tagovailoa playing in the last two preseason games after sitting out the opener is exactly what happened last summer in Mike McDaniel’s first year as Dolphins head coach.

    As a point of reference, Tua played three series in the third preseason game last summer against the Philadelphia Eagles, leading the offense to a 17-0 lead before giving way to Teddy Bridgewater in a 48-10 victory at Hard Rock Stadium.
