According to this article both got into the game. Watkins at LG when Garner went out and Brenner slid to C and Thomas as an extra tackle. I didn't notice either during the game which I guess is a good thing for an OL.
Most interesting thing in the article is:
I guess this is why we haven't seen Thomas yet, as they view him as a tackle.

Huh....so....does this mean he really hasnt been a bad pick? That they seem determined to put him at one spot.
I will say this....Philbin is VERY resolute in how he thinks things should be done. No matter how bad it has gotten...they havent tried to make Tannehill into a scrambling QB. They have been stubbornly deliberate at how often Dion Jordan plays in a game. They are stubbornly insistent on how they handle their running backs. In fact...just about every where you look, it seems like once a decision is made, its as well as carved in stone. -

I wonder how we did on those 5 plays. Maybe we were trying to see what Watkins could do in a short spurt. Nothing like real game time to figure out if a guy can help you out.

Dallas Thomas was an extra tackle on the right side on Daniel Thomas' TD run, just for the record.

I think this may have been the series where Watkins was LG:

Yeh..he lined up at TE. Similar to how we used Yeatman. Very likely could see that kind of power formation used against Carolina to keep the pass rush off Tannehill.

I am puzzled by the Dallas Thomas decision. Since Miami has really struggled at the tackle position why can't he get on the field? Clabo has played terribly until recently and McKinnie has been adequate but not good. Are they setting Thomas up for failure with them being insistent he is a tackle?

Does anyone know how Garner and Brenner graded out? I was passively watching and didn't key in on them, but the results didn't suffer much. Could one of them replace Richie should he be released?
I really liked Thomas as a LG coming out. I hold out hope for him there. -
I was impressed with Brenner under the circumstances. I think he was kind of a unsung hero along with Garner.
