ESPN: Monday Practice Report 8/25
10 replies
Colmaxforum_veteranOPA lot of eyes are on the Dolphins' running backs this week, and particular Knowshon Moreno and Lamar Miller. The Dolphins have a decision to make in two weeks of which players should start in Week 1 of the regular season against the New England Patriots. Miller, the incumbent, has been the leader in the clubhouse as Moreno dealt with a knee injury. However, Moreno had a stellar Dolphins debut Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys with 64 yards on 10 carries. The players shared first-team reps Monday in what could be a sign of things to come.
The Dolphins' passing game had a sloppy practice. The quarterbacks, at times, were inaccurate, and the receivers had issues with drops. Miami No. 1 receiver Mike Wallace, slot receiver Brandon Gibson and rookie receiver Matt Hazel were among those who put the ball on the ground during team drills. The Dolphins’ starting offense scored only three points in six drives over the weekend due to turnovers and sloppy play.

djphinfansubscriberWallace will always have his share of drops..it's just his mechanics..he didn't drop one in the game, Hartline has had drops in consecutive games..
Not worried..
mcdave21subscriberWallace and Tannehill actually looked pretty good outside of that busted deep pass. Wallace with 6 catches on 7 targets in the first half. I like it!
cuchulainnsubscriberTuesday's report:
Here are some notes and observations:
- Dolphins kicker Caleb Sturgis returned to practice on Tuesday. His kicks looked strong and he didn’t show any ill effects from his groin injury.
- Philbin was not as forthright with the playing time of his starters Thursday, particularly his starting offense. It remains unknown if starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill and Co. will play against the Rams. Last year, Tannehill did not play in the final preseason game.
- Miami backup running back Daniel Thomas said he’s ready to make his preseason debut against St. Louis.
- The first big play was Tannehill throwing a 30-plus-yard touchdown to speedy receiver Mike Wallace in the corner of the end zone for a touchdown.

Tannehill also nearly dropped a beautiful deep bomb to Wallace last week that Grimes made a huge play on to knock it away.

All they gotta do is hit 1 in game for it to have a massive benefit...just 1. ON REVIS!

Sort of like Matt Moore does consistently in practice and in games?
Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.

I hear about just as many RT long balls being caught in practice, if not more. Higher % to WRs not named Wallace, however.
