Dolphins Training Camp Notes

Dolphins began training camp July 25th, and it will continue through to August 5th, just 3 days from now. There have been some good stories, and we all hope those story lines continue all the way through to the season. One in particular has been OLB Quinton Bell. Bell, 6’4 250 began his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, then played for the Atlanta Falcons in 2022. He spent last season on the Dolphins practice squad. I believe he flashed some last year in camp as well, but it would be a wonderful thing if he became a solid depth player. After OLB Shaq Barrett unexpectedly retired, the Dolphins wasted no time reuniting with DE Emmanuel Ogbah. I stress that Ogbah is primarily a defensive lineman, DE specifically, and his 5.5 sacks were mostly from the defensive line, playing with DT or DE. We addressed the OLB spot in the draft, twice to be exact with our first pick, #21 OLB Chop Robinson and then again in RD 5 #158 Mo Kamara. We’re all aware that both OLB’s Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips are rehabbing from injuries suffered near the end of the season, so when either both of these players are back to being themselves in unknown.

CB Kader Kohou is another player having a nice camp. With the offseason addition of CB Kendall Fuller, and the fact that Jalen Ramsey is on the roster as well, Kohou will likely see more playing time inside at nickel. Nik Needham, also one of my favorites as is Kohou, just wasn’t back to the level of play before his injury. Some bad news, CB Cam Smith went out with an injury but should be back. WR Erik Ezukanma, who showed that physical nature on some run plays last season was also injured, and his status is more questionable than Smith’s, who again should return to action as soon as today.

An interesting development recently came out about the NFL rules going forward in 2024, and this rule specifically affects our team, as well as the SF 49ers and the LA Rams. The rule seems to indicate that the motion that we use so often pre snap with Tyreek Hill running and then angling towards the line of scrimmage will no longer be allowed. Mind you, this is still somewhat speculative, the rule was highlighted in red, as all rules that haven’t been enforced properly are every single season. Supposedly, there was a gray area in the interpretation of “abrupt” motion, so if they do enforce this, we’ll see how Mike McDaniel counters this being taken away. I was actually surprised when I saw the Dolphins implementing it, it did look unfair, and then I thought “Why doesn’t every team do this”? I guess we’ll have to wait and see how this plays out.

WR Jaylen Waddle has had a great camp. He’s been catching passes and getting open on any and every defender, including our own superstar, Jalen Ramsey. That’s important, because there might come a time in the next couple of years if Tyreek Hill is still with the team, that Waddle becomes the main target, and Hill the #2 WR. It would be fantastic if Waddle can step up to another level. New C Aaron Brewer had some low snap issues, but otherwise has looked good. I’m sure we all remember the snapping issues our previous C Connor Williams had, right? Still, we want to se that cleaned up by seasons start.

Another nice camp story is the emergence of LB Anthony Walker, who played 4 years for the Colts and 3 for the Browns, and at 28, is showing well as a inside LB for the Dolphins. Walker battled injuries last season and is happy to have a fresh start with the Dolphins. The battle at NT has been a good one between NT Benito Jones and NT Teair Tart. CB Ethan Bonner has also impressed in camp, and although Bonner is behind Cam Smith and Kendall Fuller on the depth chart, that could change for sure.

One point I want to bring out, we’ve discussed it already, but it really resonated with me. CB Jalen Ramsey stating “It’s time to be bullies”. I can’t tell you how happy I was to hear that. Sometimes you just have to get it out there, and it can manifest itself into something real. I don’t have to tell you that when a lot of people think about our team, the word “soft” comes to mind. If thinking they’re going to be bullies helps purge the softness, so be it. I couldn’t agree with Jalen more. Purge that December swoon, purge it before it starts. Think of yourselves as the bad boys, and then play like it on the field, and punish teams like the Ravens, Steelers, Chiefs, etc. Smack them in the mouth and let them know you’re on the field right there with them. Keep feeding this mentality, make it so!

      Zach Sieler so unappreciated and underrated

      • Krishna's avatar Krishna says:

        But…to your argument…he’s nor good enough without Wilkins? I’m confused…lol

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        We brought in Calais Campbell. That changed everything. As long as there’s a legit threat on the other side, Sieler won’t constantly be double teamed. There’s no doubt though that both players, Wilkins and Sieler fed off each other. Before we got Campbell, I felt Sieler might be neutralized because of the extra attention opposing teams would give him.

      • Krishna's avatar Krishna says:

        Isn’t that the case for any team sport? You’re only as good as your weakest link. Sieler was not a weak link.

        Hmmm….lol…I’m trying to understand but you’re expressing opposing opinions about Sieler, imo.

      • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

        Suh was doubled and tripled constantly, and neutralized often, so I see what you’re saying Mike

  1. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Sieler is good on his own and is not reliant on Wilkins to be good. He beats his own blocks and makes plays. He’s not great but very consistent. But he doesn’t get paid like he’s Reggie White.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      I think Wilkins thrived or benefitted more playing next to Sieler, let’s see what he does playing next to Maxx

      Our DL was looking sad, before we signed Calais, then getting Ogbah over Barrett was a blessing, excited to see our DL this year

  2. Krishna's avatar Krishna says:

    I think Seiler’s a dog…a bully…lol

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      agree, he’ll definitely hold up his end

      Ogbah playing with a chip during camp, will get to see first hand tomorrow

      Can’t say enough about how glad I am we got Ogbah, he’s a very good edge holder, pass rusher and ball swatter, he makes our D complete

      Between Chop, Kamara and Bell we should be able to hold down the pass rush duties until 15 and 6 get back

  3. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Adam Beasley really talking up Liam Eichenberg this morning on WQAM, saying he’s going to be a part of this offensive line

  4. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Krishna – Re-read everything I said about Sieler. It was never a question if Sieler was a good player, what I was talking about at that time was the loss of Wilkins. Wilkins wasn’t chopped liver, he was a very good player, and with that hole vacant, Sieler would get more attention from opposing offenses, double teams, a chip from a TE or RB. Again, it was never about Sieler as a player, but like I said, we found a good replacement for Wilkins in Calais Campbell, so I think all is well.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      Also, like Steve said, re-signing Ogbah helps a lot too. Ogbah’s best at DE or somewhere along the D-line.

    • sb7mvp's avatar sb7mvp says:

      Yup, basic reading comprehension. You can fly a plane with 1 engine, but it’s optimal when you have 2.

    • Krishna's avatar Krishna says:

      I re-read what you just wrote and agree with your current statement, but the impressions, opinions, statements of the past by you seemed to have indicated to me that you didn’t think Sieler was good enough with or without Wilkins.

      Anyone commanding 2 players will be limited in their play and effectiveness. Duh….

  6. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    Steve, I agree about Ogbah. He was best at LDE hand in the ground.

  7. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    The Miami Dolphins were back at practice Monday, kicking their preseason opener week.

    Attendance report at Dolphins practice: Not spotted at practice were RB Salvon Ahmed, WR Erik Ezukanma, S Jordan Poyer, LB Jordyn Brook and LB Anthony Walker Jr.

  8. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Among those who were out for stretching but didn’t practice were CB Jalen Ramsey, WR Jaylen Waddle, T Terron Armstead and CB Cam Smith. Armstead was spotted wearing a compression sleeve on his right leg.

    Outside linebacker Quinton Bell wore the orange jersey as the practice player of the day for Saturday.

    The first competitive period on this day involved 11-on-11 and the offense was much more productive than its last outing.

  9. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    All three quarterbacks had impressive throws, highlighted by Tua’s bomb to Tyreek Hill, which featured decent coverage, a nice throw and a nice catch.

    Hill, who didn’t practice Saturday, was very active in this session, starting with a completion over the middle from Skylar Thompson.

    Tight end Julian Hill block had a really nice block on a Raheem Mostert run.

  10. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Safety Jevon Holland shot through a hole and got into the backfield in a flash on a pitch to Mostert.

    De’Von Achane looked quicker than perhaps at any time in camp so far.

    Tua attempted another bomb to Hill, who had gotten behind Ethan Bonner, but the ball was underthrown and hit Bonner in the back as he was chasing Hill.

  11. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Thompson had a nice completion over the middle to Braylon Sanders, who made a nice high snag.

    Mike tried to go deep to Anthony Schwartz with Siran Neal with good coverage and the ball was undderthrown.

    Cam Brown tipped a White pass at the line and it went right to Channing Tindall, who dropped the interception.

  12. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    White had a nice completion over the middle to Braxton Berrios.

    In an end-of-game drill, Kader Kohou had spectacular catch on a Tua pass intended for Jody Fortson Jr. in the corner of the end zone, though he may or may not have landed in bounds.

    Defensive tackle Jonathan Harris, who’s made plays lately, tipped a Tua pass at the line.

  13. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Rookie tackle Patrick Paul committed a false start on a play that continued and ended with a touchdown pass from White to Fortson.

    Patrick Paul blocked Mo Kamara to ground while Skylar Thompson scrambled, and Kamara clearly was upset about it.

    Soon after in another 11-on-11 session, Kamara and Paul were matched up and Paul ended up holding him.

  14. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Schwartz dropped a deep pass down the sldeline from Skylar Thompson after getting behind Grayson Murphy.

    Schwartz failed to stay in bounds on deep pass down the right sideline after what looked like a blown coverage, thought that wasn’t a good throw by Thompson.

    Rookie free agent CB Jason Maitre broke up a deep pass from Tua to Tyreek with good coverage and a nice play on the ball. That was followed by Ethan Bonner batting away a Tyreek reception over the middle from Tua.

  15. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Teair Tart got to Thompson for a sack.

    Tua had nice back-to-back completions to River Cracraft and Alec Ingold, the first a 20-yard dart over the middle and the second a floater near the sideline.

    David Long Jr. broke up a Tua pass to Malik Washington on a fourth-and-5 play from the 8-yard line. This came after Tua couldn’t find anybody open

  16. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Thanks for the updates Rocko!

  17. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Krishna – from GO, it was always how the loss of Wilkins was going to negatively affect Sieler

  18. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    The Dolphins must have one of the fastest, if not the fastest running back room in the NFL. Between Mostert, Achane and now the rookie they are blazing fast. Get to the corner and GO.

  19. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    The Falcons are a good team to be scrimmaging against and then playing in PS game one. They have talent so there will be good matchups.

  20. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      Worry about that next year. Holland has to play a season to create his market. He didn’t have a great season last year. If he wants to get paid, have a big time season.

      • bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

        That’s what we did with Wilkins and he is gone.

        Lock up Holland now based on coming off a so, so season where the price is right.

        So we should wait for him to blow it up this season so his price goes up and can’t compete with other teams offers. Got it.

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        Not true, they offered Wilkins a deal before FA and his agent balked at it.

  21. mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

    @flasportsbuzz

    Per spotrac. com, Dolphins have $36 M in cap space after Tyreek adjustment. But Miami is $44 M over next year’s cap. So carrying over most of that space makes sense UNLESS A REALLY GOOD PLAYER AT NEED POSITION BECOMES AVAILABLE IN TRADE (or Holland extension can be worked out.)

    • mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

      That’s what I said to BB Mike last week (prior to even MORE $$$ opening up with ‘Reek’s new deal): carryover, trade, or extension for 1 (perhaps even 2) players.

      We’re in a very good situation right now.

    • Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

      Hill’s cap number remains the highest on the team for 2024, but the big news here is the Dolphins having eliminated all their cap numbers over $20 million by extending, restructuring or releasing not only Hill but Tua Tagovailoa, Terron Armstead, Jalen Ramsey and Xavien Howard.

      After the Hill contract adjustment, the Dolphins have $22.8 million of cap space remaining for 2024, a figure that ranks 12th in the NFL. On the flip side, though the Dolphins are $44.4 million over a projected 2025 cap limit of $260 million (projecting a slightly increase over this year’s $255.4 million). That is the third-worst figure in the NFL, ahead only of the Cleveland Browns and (of course) New Orleans Saints.

  22. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Grier is such a fucktard!

    Hill’s revised contract includes three void years to spread out the signing bonus charge against the cap. Hill is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in 2027.

    • bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

      I saw that just now. Almost 8 mil in dead money in 2027 and 2028. Also, I don’t see any way Tyreek is a Dolphins in 2026. They didn’t fix shit. Tyreek still has cap hits of 31 mil in 2025 and 55 mil in 2026.

      All Grier did was reduce his cap hit this year which wasn’t needed and pushed a bunch of dead money down the road. We now have over 34 mil in dead money in 2027. Once we get rid of Chubb, it will be over 40 mil in 2027 dead money.

    • bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

      All they really did was give Tyreek another fat check paying him the rest of his guaranteed money now but spreading it out to 2029.

      What did this also do? It made Tyreek tradable as soon as this next offseason.

    Projected cap for 2026 is around 290 million.

    Caps hits for just Tua and Tyreek in 2026 is over 40% of that at 118.6 million.

    Tyreek won’t be on the 2026 roster like everyone was hyping about.

    Having cap space to work with this season is trying to win this year. Some of you are all about future seasons, some of us are about now. Let’s be bullies and win now! 🙂

  26. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    Rock and BBMike

    I don’t understand your anxiety over the cap space

    Grier created about 35M in cap room in 2024 after starting the offseason over the cap

    we are actually under the 89% league minimum for spending and have to spend about 6M more in 2024

    the rest of it can roll over to 2025

    so in 2024, unless er spend that money before the end of the regular season we should be able to roll over about 28M to 2025

    By 2026 we are gonna have decisions to make – but that’s not usual – and the moves we make now might help in 2026 if we have cap room we roll over in 2025 to 2026

  27. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    after all these moves and signings – we have the 5th most cap space in the nfl in 2024

    https://overthecap.com/salary-cap-space#google_vignette

  28. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    according to over the cap

    hills cap hit is 18M this year

    then is jumps to about 31M

    then by 2026 it balloons to 55M

    before going down to 19M in 2027

    I’m pretty sure the idea is to create more cap space now and roll it over to next year

    You have to spend 89% of your cap room

    so that leaves about 28M that every team can roll over

    the nfl cap is about 273M next year

    That roll over money basically covers Hills contract in 2026

    I suspect they can do the same after the 2025 season

    if nothing more we have a 3 year window to breathe

    Ya’ll know the International Boxing Association (IBA) is run by Russian officials, aka, Communists….lol. It’s the IBA who called for genetic testing over a year ago against the two “alleged” men boxing against women in the Olympics. Apparently, the medical records are sealed which is good and the IOC and other boxing federations/associations have sanctioned all their fights since the testing.

    I’m no fan of the IOC especially when they DON’T sanction Chinese and Russian dopers/athletes, but geez, loueez, calling out an USA Today article as ‘whitewashing’ is more pathetic, kinda like, chasing conspiracy theories.

    LMFAO…..you’d rather believe communists. Whatever.

    Dolphins Expect Exciting Joint Practices With Opponents

    Scott Salomon | 2 Hours AgoJul 25, 2024;

    The Atlanta Falcons are in town and will hold joint practices with the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday and Wednesday. The teams will kick off their preseason on Friday at 7:30 PM at Hard Rock Stadium.

    The Dolphins will also hold joint practices with the Washington Commanders on Thursday, August 15th. Before its last exhibition, Miami will conclude its preseason with a joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday, August 21st.

    McDaniel Anticipates A Change Of Pace

    Miami coach Mike McDaniel is eager to see the Dolphins play against another team. It might only be practice but don’t tell the Dolphins that.”I think you are going to see a couple teams that are really excited to play against someone else,” McDaniel said Monday, “We are at that time of training camp where it is tough sledding in terms of you’ve used all of your moves and your counters. So, it will be a breath of fresh air.”

It should be pretty intense,”

    “Listen, man, I’ve been battling with those guys. They’ve got some good players on that side, but whoever lines up in front of me [tomorrow], I’m treating it like I treat game day,” Smith said. I’m excited to go out, excited to let loose on these guys, and excited to do it with this group of guys as well.”

    Defensive tackle Emmanuel Ogbah is excited he finally gets to hit someone who is not on his team.

    “I’m looking forward to it. Going against the same guys every day, you get tired of it,” Ogbah said. “Now, I’m looking for some new competition.”

    Dolphins linebacker Quinton Bell had a unique way of describing his feelings and attitude toward practicing with the Falcons.

    “I’m very excited. It’s fun going against the Dolphins and this crazy offense that we have, but when you go against a different color, and you get ready to play real football against another team, that’s so exciting.”Bell was raring to go. “My blood is boiling for tomorrow.”

    The Miami Dolphins have released their first depth chart of the 2024 preseason, organizing their training camp roster for this weekend’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. While the depth chart is only an early estimation of the starters and depth players, it provides the first look at how the Dolphins’ coaching staff views their roster.

    The team typically keeps the preseason depth chart steady throughout the three exhibition games, only making changes if a player is released or acquired. Using this depth chart can assist in determining where the roster bubble – the cut line for the team as they move from the 90-man preseason roster limit to the 53-player regular season size – is and who could need strong training camp and preseason performances to make the roster.

    How did the Dolphins break down their first depth chart of the preseason? Time to take a look.

    Reactions:

    Splitting the running backs into two lines on the depth chart is likely signifying Mostert and Achane as co-starters, with everyone else sliding behind them. Wilson seems to be having a good training camp, and a strong preseason could force Miami to find a way to keep him on the roster. Brooks has work to do to prove he can make the roster. Washington, listed at the bottom of the depth chart, is likely the team listing rookies near the back of nearly each position list, but could be a factor of the depth the team has at the position.

    The rule of rookies being deep on the depth chart is broken for the first time at the left tackle position, where Paul slots into the second team behind Armstead. Lamm, who could be the game-day swing tackle until Paul is ready for live game action, moves into the second-team right tackle slot behind Jackson.

    Eichenberg remains listed as the starting right guard, with Driscoll and Cotton listed behind him as they battle for the top spot on the depth chart. Jones holds the top left guard.

    Smythe holds on to the top spot on the tight end depth chart, despite the team adding Smith in free agency. The coaching staff likes Smythe and he could continue to serve as the “starting” tight end, though it could become a co-starting role similar to the running backs.

    Washington finds himself buried among the wide receivers, returning to the rule of rookies starting deep in their position group. Berrios and Cracraft hold the two positions behind Hill and Waddle, though Odell Beckham, Jr., should move into one of their spots once he is healthy. The addition of Snead as depth makes the road to the roster tough for Schwartz, Ezukanma, and Sanders.

    Jones has been having a strong camp and could have locked himself into the starting nose tackle position between Sieler and Campbell. Tart and Pili will continue to push him there, however. Hand will likely serve as primary depth along the line as well.

    Bell listed as the first-team outside linebacker opposite Ogbah is a surprise. Is he ahead of Robinson, or does that reflect Robinson’s status as a rookie? Everything will change whenever Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb are cleared to return to football activities.

    Bonner has been having a great early camp and could be making a case to land on the roster as a depth option at cornerback.

    Kohou and Needham will likely battle for the top nickel cornerback slot, though Needham could see playing time at safety as well.

    How much will the returners change as Miami figures out how they want to attack the league’s new kickoff rules?

    Not that the depth chart matters at this point, but I couldn’t read the previous post on this…too small and this had a little commentary for whatever it’s worth….lol

    So calling an article “whitewashing” for trying downplay men beating women in the Olympics is “more pathetic” than the act of letting dopers participate and men beating women. That’s what you said, Got it.

    “you’d rather believe communists” What the FUCK does that have to do with anything? Who’s believing communists?

    It’s been confirmed outside the IBA that this dude is a dude. I guess you aren’t going to believe it’s a dude until you are holding his dick in your hand or remnants there of.

    You calling me out for calling out USA Today, who’s more pathetic? You are bitch! So, Fuck You, go smoke another bowl

    @chrisperk

    Jason Sanders with nice KO to about 2-yd line, forcing returner to make a decision. But KOs are still clearly a work in progress

    @WingfieldNFL

    First two plays of team for the MIA O River Cracraft gets free on a little turkey hole window, Tua shoots in in for about 20

    Raheem presses play side behind blocks of Julian Hill and Austin Jackson, cuts it up for a good gain – give him 5 or 6

    Penix throws too high for WR Rondale Moore, who was open for about 15-yd gain. Dolphins No. 2 defense had a rough outing vs. Falcons No. 2 offense. Dolphins No. 1 defense was strong

    Achane wins the corner on a toss thanks to a crushing block from Ingold that gave him the crease.

    ATL D stacks up blcoks of Liam and Austin to shut Raheem down for no gain and then a free run from Terrell forces Tua to throw it away

  84. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Travis Wingfield
    @WingfieldNFL
    This period tilting towards the visitors. Playing on time in the passing game — Cousins and Penix, and some good surge in the run game. The Tua and White series on offense didn’t produced many positives.

  85. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Cousins guiding offense at Fins’ 15…throws to Bijan for 5 yards

  86. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Ingold and Julian Hill square up punishing blocks to spring Achane around the corner. He was arm tackled at the 5, but I think he scores in a game (ball starts on the 12)

  87. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    @WingfieldNFL

    Second play of red zone for the Miami offense is a sack of Tua. He got away from the initial pressure but the rushers just kept coming, shut the play down.

  88. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    @WingfieldNFL

    Tua works the right side, comes back to the left side and fires a shot to Cracraft on stride and into the end zone for 6

    Simultaneous snaps, Fins TD, Dolphins PBU.

    Tua finds Raheem Mostert who weaves his way in behind the block of Durham Smythe for 6.

    Marcus Maye drives on a goal line out and breaks up Cousins’ pass.

    From Joe Schad:

    Miami Dolphins Offense vs. Atlanta Falcons training camp notes

    • Willie Snead had a drop on 1-on-1s. He’s had a few drops in camp.
    • Rookie Malik Washington had a nice touchdown grab in 1-on-1s.
    • Tyreek Hill had a few early catches and not surprisingly seems geeked to face the Falcons today.
    • Tua Tagovailoa tried to complete a pass to Tyreek Hill across the middle but it was knocked away.
    • De’Von Achane was stopped at the line of scrimmage. How will Miami’s offensive line hold up vs. Atlanta?
    • Willie Snead had a nice grab across the middle from Mike White.
    • One of the Dolphins’ backup center had a high snap. When will this madness end?
    • Tua rolled to his left and found Tyreek in the flat.
    • Jaylen Wright showed another gear on a burst through the middle.
    • Skylar Thompson rolled right and hit River Cracraft over the middle. Cracraft’s roster spot seems safe.
    • Willie Snead had another drop. He’s not helping himself.
    • PLAY OF DAY CANDIDATE: Tua hits Tyreek on fly pattern. Hill celebrates by leaping over barrier into crowd beyond the end zone. Fans go bonkers. “Tua! Tua! Tua!”
    • Rookie Malik Washington had a high, leaping grab. This is a nice day for Malik.
    • Snead with another drop. Brutal day.
    • Tua and his center had another problematic exchange. This was Aaron Brewer. Clean it up.
    • Tua was intercepted on a short pass by Mike Hughes of UCF. River Cracraft was the intended receiver.
    • Mike White fired it into Malik Washington over the middle. Breakout day for Washington.
    • Jaylen Wright is surely going to work to improve his consistency in the receiving game. He needs that element to his game.
