Three Things That Went Right

Quarterback Ryan Tannehill was sharp for just about every throw during his five offensive series. Two of those drives produced a touchdown. When Tannehill had protection his passes were sharp. Tannehill completed 10-of-15 passes for 141 yards and threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Mike Wallace. He finished the third preseason game with an impressive 119.0 passer rating.

...

The first team defense seemed sharp in their few snaps. Starting cornerback Brent Grimes intercepted Matt Schaub on Houston's first possession, producing the game's first turnover. On Houston's second drive two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Cameron Wake sacked Schaub to prevent the Texans from converting a third-and-11. The Texans did score on its third offensive possession, but the Dolphins pulled the starting defenders once Houston got past the midfield ...

Three Things That Went Wrong

...

The Josh Samuda underdog story was nice while it lasted, but this former Hollywood Hills standout is clearly struggling as the Dolphins' starting right guard ...

Miami was flagged for five penalties ...

The offensive tackles look good... that right guard position is a concern though. Samuda is not starter material right now. If they patch that up (hopefully Jerry or Louis), I will feel better about offensive line.

Jonathan Martin has actually played relatively well in the three preseason games.

Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill has a 106.5 passer rating after three exhibition games. That's PROGRESS! The key is TD passes and no INTs.

Updating stats, #Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill is 17-of-29 (58.6 percent) for 227 yards and two TDs after three preseason games.

Also, Tanny is just not getting rid of the ball when he needs to sometimes..Some of those sacks are on him not reading the blitz.

Starting offense scored on 2 of their 5 drives. I'll take it.

The offense should be scoring 24-28 points per game. The pieces are in place.

Not sure what effect the Keller loss will have on that but even stable TE play should keep them in that points realm.

Anyone else think Thomas might challenge for the starting RB spot?

28? That would've made us the third highest scoring team in the NFL last year.

I dunno about all that. Moving up from 18.0 to 21/24 seems a bit more realistic.

I was hopeful with the moves the team made in the offseason, but the offensive line is still only half a unit, we lost our starting tight end, and Tannehill is not getting a lot of time to throw. The Texans are a very deep roster though, so preseason evaluation of the team is tough since the starters see limited action.

I think we are looking at about a 5-11 team this year. The schedule is awful, lots of roster flux....I want to be wrong though!

Cleveland will be a big test. I have seen their preseason games and their defense is flying around and making plays.....not the easy matchup you might expect.

Pete Prisco? Is that you?
