I'd like to see those things too. I found that it's not worth the virus risk so I just ponied up the $20 to NFL for the past two seasons. I've been very happy with it. You may want to consider that next year Sick.
Promo code "Directv" gets it for $15. Plus you can rewind watch our running plays get blown up in slow motion.

Not only Jordan, but Jamar Taylor and Will Davis need to start making impacts to determine if they will be the future of the team. The coaching staff and GM have their players, so the blame Ireland game won't hold water this year.
Davis has something like a +5.6 rating from PFF for the first two preseason games.

He's the highest rated CB in the NFL so far this pre-season.

I'm already pretty happy with the passing game so I'd like to see more of that. More than anything I'd love to see the interior of the line play better and get some kind of a run game (Moreno is playing tonight!), also I want to see McCain play so well I don't have watch Phillip Wheeler ever again.
I thought McCain was playing behind Ellerbe at Will, and Tripp behind Wheeler at Sam?

Oh and by the way...Trusnik and McCain rated #1/2 on the pre-season as well. Fede #5.

Rocky RaccoonStaffI want to come out of the game healthy first and foremost.
I also want, no, need to see us run the ball with success.
Fins Up!!!
finwinNew MemberI've always thought that Davis would be a performer at DB since watching his combine and draft videos. The knock has been that he doesn't back up well and is slow to turn his hips. If Finnigan handles the 2nd spot well, I think Davis will be great at Nickle for us, but he'd be a liability early in the season as the #2 DB.

Other way around.
@KevinMD4
I expect the Dolphins offense to be able to move the ball and score against one of the worst defenses in the NFL. If they don't, that will be be a sign that the OL still needs a lot of work to become a solid unit.
I am more interested in seeing how the first string defense plays against the Cowboys first string offense. Right now, other than the OL, my biggest concern is the play of the LB's and the secondary. If the defense can come out and limit the yards and points of the Cowboys offense, at least this would be a good indication that the defense can be effective against one of the better offenses in the NFL.
CitizenSnipsNew MemberTannehil looked sharp in both games so far. Want to see more.
Id love it if Miller and moreno actually did something on the ground.
BpkLuxury BoxGotta see our STAR!!! LOVE watching Brandon FIELDS! GOT MY POPCORN READY!

vt_dolfanSupporterI want to see points. I have firm belief in our defense.....long as we keep them in check...not gonna really stress on the D at this point. I want to see the offensive line show cohesiveness....and Tannehill continue what has been a stellar pre season.

I'm more impressed by Davis because he has been doing against the 1st stringers.

Agree that I was high on Davis coming out.
Disagree that he's slow to turn his hips. Physically he has great hips and change of direction too. I think maybe you mean his recognition isn't great though and he does sometimes get fooled, and may not turn and run when he should because of the mental aspect. Physically the kid is balls.
He also was a poor tackler coming out but I've seen a marked improvement in that already.
He's also making fewer mental mistake.
The kid is very much progressing. He's our Tracy Porter.
vt_dolfanSupporterHey...thought you all might like this:
Playing the first game of Madden 15 season....and on the Pats first two drives...Miami with 2 pick sixes....David with the first and Grimes with the second...!!!
Playing on All Pro..Btw....maybe a good omen on the Season..lol

SWEEEEET!!! Can you please cut Daniel Thomas... or is that impossible in Madden too?
vt_dolfanSupporterThe default is Moreno....and now Im tempted to restart the season just to see if I can cut Thomas..lol

It would be fun to go get all the great players we eaither passed on or cut then they got good.
Matt Ryan, Jimmy Graham, in terms of draft opportunities.
Heck, Drew Brees instead of Culpepper.
Ninkovich, Wade Smith, etc.

McCain and Tripp entered the game early enough to have went against some of the 1st stringers.

That's not much of a compliment. I thought you liked Davis.

That's good news! Hm. Hopeful we may be able to get them enough playing time this year to see some LB turnover next season!
Though I'd rather Ellerbe-Misi-Wheeler (trucking company) perform well.
