Texan/Dolphins thoughts..

djphinfansubscriberOPLamar miller had a really bad, hesitant, weak game..nothing down hill, easy to knock down, and just to much pitter patter..that's was ugly for a back..
Daniel Thomas in the hunt..nice job.
Either Matt Moore can't will himself to play with a sense of urgency in a preseason game, or he's checked out, I saw a moment where he didn't give a sh$&... Dumass.
Our depth players played a pathetic game...they sucked big time..
Jamar Taylor will be a player..THAT tackle, was a flash..it takes serious quickness to trail a man in that fashion..textbook tackle..,he's a great tackler of an opponent, centers his opponent beautifully.
Was wrong about samuda, he's not ready..
Tannehill, when he has time, and not sleeping in the pocket, can do some things..he's close to 100 qbr rating in four quarters..
We really did no misdirection...no read option, not one rollout, it's obvious what shermans philosophy is in preseason, texans were misdirecting us to death.
Our 2nd and 3rd team defense could not stop anything..
Somebody needs to speak with Matt Moore and ask him if he wants to be here...maybe it's all about regular season for him, but I sure don't respect him showing his ass in a meaningless game.
Great coverage by Misi, proud if that, our defense looked exceptional..I wouldn't worry about the couple runs in the beginning.
Did y'all see that plant by grimes, I'm not sure that was his injured foot, but if it was, that plant and burst was exceptional from that bionic Achilles.
Ellerbe will be susceptible in coverage, wheeler will be ok, saw some good things in coverage by wheeler.
Ellerbe is a read my keys and explode kind of guy, watch out on your play action, he will bite big time.
Good thing the texans used a lot of misdirection, we might learn something before the regular season.
Dion sims..and eggnog...lol...go get'em tigers...
Move pocket early, read option early, loosen up Tannehill, preety cool that Sherman will not do such things in preseason...not at all.
I wish I was training John Jerry while he's doing his rehab..
Jamar Taylor was My favorite flash.
Nothing from our 4 thru 6 at receiver..not much anywhere else.
Matt Moore pissed me off tonite...
Lamar miller disappointed..
I miss Dion Jordan..
Fin-OmenalNew MemberMichael Egnew "won" tonight.
Nice to see Tanny look good early although Wallace was open by 2-3 yards on what SHOULD have been a 50+ TD.
I wish the season was Tommorow
CitizenSnipsNew Member- matt moore has kind of always looked like that unfortunately. You could never tell if you were winning or losing watching him
- Two weeks ago DT is fighting for a job against gray/gilly, now he's fighting for the starting position IMO. Lamar Miller really hasn't shown anything to suggest he can be our guy other than his quickness.
- losing keller...really sucks. At least we've seen Clay make a few plays before. Sims and Egnew have huge opportunities.
- Grimes is awesome
- Hey Wallace, nice to have you here! You look like you're going to be fun to watch
- Tannehill has looked good to great so far.
- Haven't heard anyone dog J. Martin since before the HOF game.
- This Defense is gonna be good.
SumlitNew MemberShout out to Brandon Gibson, dude moves the chains. With Keller gone his importance just increased.
Also, big props to Wallace blocking. Did anyone else see his blocking on Miller's rushing TD? Dude pushed the crap out of the guy he was blocking.

Yea, I called out Wallace's good blocking on Miller's TD run in the game thread.

wallace had a great block in the first quarter, where egnew got called for the holding. wallace hit him and drove him back. was really nice to see.

By default. Hoping and praying Keller is okay.

He missed that throw to Wallace, another one to Hartline sailed on him but he looked good on more throws. The TD to Wallace had juice and needed juice. He showed the growing pains might be worth it and the end result might be good enough. He has a long way to go.
The O-line is weak but Lamar Miller break an arm tackle will ya.
Just when you thought the bubble guys should be stepping up all over to make the team, they all disappeared.
The Keller injury put a negative on anything positive this game and there were some positives. Thats a big loss for an offense trying to make a name.
Wallace, Gibson, and Grimes made Ireland look good tonight.
Frumundah FinnaticNew MemberLoved that the first team D abolsutely dominated Houston's first team.
Loved that Wake got a sack as if to say "Yeah **** you, you aint scoring on us"

Rocky RaccoonmoderatorOur defense is lights out. If our offense is at least decent (I'm expecting better than decent) then we will definitely be in the hunt for the playoffs. Defensive line was stellar. Wake with the sack, Vernon had a good rush that drew a holding penalty, and Odrick had a sweet stuff on a run.
Brent Grimes may wind up being the steal of free agency. He is undersized but man he can BALL.
I'm one of the few remaining Daniel Thomas supporters (CitizenSnips as well) and was really happy to see run hard and play well. I'm well aware of his negatives but he can block well and catch well out of the backfield. I'm telling you, he CAN be a productive player for us if he continues to work hard at it. He's the perfect compliment to Lamar Miller.
Tannehill to Wallace all day every day. Great to see them finally connect, especially for a touchdown.
Speaking of touchdowns, Brian Hartline, c'mon son.
Jonathan Martin seemed to have another good game. Maybe people can back of the ledge for a little.
Josh Samuda on the other hand, not so much. Love his potential but he's got some work to do.
I'm really hoping Dustin Keller (or Justin, if you're D.J. Swearinger) gets better soon. I thought he was going to have a big year for us and it sucks to see someone work so hard just to have it taken away on one play. I know a lot of Jets fans who say he is such a friendly, happy dude so godspeed to him.
3 weeks until the opener!!!
MrCleansubscriberDion sims..and eggnog...lol...go get'em tigers...
Uhhh, only Egnew was a Tiger, (Missouri). Sims was a Spartan, (Michigan State).

FinsUpNew MemberReally liked what I saw tonight from both first team units. Losing Keller would be tough. I'm hoping it's not as serious as people are fearing...
MrCleansubscriberOur new PBP beat writer said possibly career ending. Of course he looks like he just graduated from Junior High to me.

gilv13forum_veteranI also miss Dion Jordan.
Dol-Fan Dupreeforum_veteranTracy Robertson, Kheeston Randall and AJ Francis. I want to keep all three of these players. So many times I glance at the line and thinks, "That guy did a good job," then I look at the number, it turns out to be one of these three players.
Vaughn Martin, I have never glanced at the line, think "That guy did a good job," and it turn out to be Vaughn Martin. Generally, it is, "That guy should have done better" or "That guy got blown off the line," it turns out to be Vaughn Martin.
IMO, all three of the players above should be kept instead of Vaughn Martin.

I agree. I think Randall is a pretty safe bet, and perhaps one of the other two. I like Tristan #66 too. He seems to make a play or two that stand out in every game.

Oh, I agree. Andrew Abramson or whatever his name is, is still wide eyed and naive I think.
