HOF Game

[hordman]

Anyone going to the age this weekend?  Bought tix off of eBay a couple of weeks ago.  Taking my son, sitting on the Phins sideline.  Really looking forward to the new look, seeing the new guys on the field and seeing the improvement from last year's squad.

Hit me up if anyone else is going.

Go Phins!

You are really looking for "improvement" in a preseason game where half the starters won't dress and the other half might play 4 plays total?

I guess I'm  a glass half full kinda guy.  Enjoy watching the Phins this year MikeO!

I will enjoy. And I will look for improvement too. Just starting Sep 8th. Not in the preseason where you can judge nothing

In the preseason, you want to look for guys to make plays.  Here's what I'm hoping for out of tonight's game:

- Jonathan Martin holds his own on the left side of the line and shows that he was truly going up against some great defensive ends in practice.

- Olivier Vernon and Dion Jordan harassing the Cowboy's quarterbacks constantly, freeing Cam Wake of double teams.

- One of the youngsters at tight end (Sims, Clay, Egnew) separating himself from the rest of the group

- Will Davis and/or Jamar Taylor picking off passes

- Lamar Miller taking it to the house on a few plays

- Ryan Tannehill showing marked improvement over his rookie season

- Dannell Ellerbe and Phillip Wheeler proving they are as good as advertised in pass coverage

Too bad Mike Wallace is out for tonight because I would've loved to see Tannehill go deep to him.

You realize most of these guys aren't playing or will play 1 series at most. You might get 3 plays out of Tannehill, Miller, Ellerbe, Wheeler at most. Not even sure if Jamar Taylor is cleared to play in a game yet. Also its been reported we probably won't see Jordan and Wake on the field together at all this preseason. Saving that look for the regular season.

Seriously you are putting way too much into this game tonight. You really are.

Fins wearing their TEAL jerseys tonight for all of you that love the new logo and look 

[el diablo]

^^^^^ And for those of us that don't.......

[BigDaddyFin]

The jerseys almost wash out on the tv screen.  Either we need some orange on there or the camera man sucks.

[Landshark]

Let's get this party started

[Landshark]

Hmmmmmm.  Second play from scrimmage and it looks like covering the tight ends is still an issue.

[Landshark]

Nice stop by Wheeler!!

[Landshark]

Cowboys first drive stalls.  Let's see what Tannehill can do.

[BigDaddyFin]

They keep running at the left side where the non-starters are.

And that could cost backups their jobs
