The Miami Dolphins now have four quarterbacks on the roster
http://www.thedolphinsfootballauthentic.com/matt-haack-jersey-authentic , and they still have a battle for the backup job behind Ryan Tannehill.David Fales would be first off the bench to replace Tannehill, but said he expects to keep all three all season. Even so, the Dolphins found room on their roster to add rookie quarterback Luke Falk, claimed one day after being waived by the Tennessee Titans.Falk, a sixth-round draft pick, could make an immediate impact by providing insight into the Titans' playbook under a new coaching staff. The Dolphins open the season against Tennessee on Sept. 9.The margin between Osweiler and Fales in the competition for the No. 2 job was thin throughout training camp, Gase said."It's day to day," he said. "I feel like it goes back and forth. It's one of those things — whoever has the best protection on that particular night, it seems that guy has a good night in preseason. That's what is always going to make it tough deciding who's the backup. You're guessing a little bit."Gase said he may list the No. 2 quarterback as "Osweiler or Fales" on the depth chart preceding the Titans game."Nothing changes for me," Osweiler said. "I'm just solely focused on trying to get better. Whoever is the 2, whoever is the 3, that's something I can't control."The Dolphins are underdogs in the opener despite being at home, and coming off a 6-10 season in 2017, they're widely projected to finish below .500 again. But in the wake of cuts to reach the 53-man roster limit, Gase sounded as optimistic as every other coach at the end of the preseason.Roster turnover has resulted in a better locker-room culture
Womens Frank Gore Jersey , Gase said, and he anticipates the improvement to be reflected in the win-loss record."I like our team. We're a team," he said, emphasizing the last word. "That's the best part about what we have going on right now — that locker room. I'm not really worried about what anybody else thinks about that. When you're not there every day and around these guys, you don't know. You can look at a piece of paper, but that's why they play the games."Miami should be better at quarterback, with Tannehill returning after missing last season following left knee surgery. But it's unclear whether holdover Fales or newcomer Osweiler represents an upgrade over the departed Matt Moore, who had been Tannehill's backup since 2012.The play of both Osweiler and Fales was spotty during training camp. Gase works closely with quarterbacks and saw enough potential to want to keep them around."You talk about that being one of the most important positions," Gase said, "and our thought process is we're going to try to develop guys and get them ready to go. And if we're ever in a situation where we need the next guy, we want to make sure we have the right guy. And we're going to keep working with the two guys we've got."In other roster moves, Miami claimed receiver Tanner McEvoy off waivers from New Orleans, released tackle Sam Young, and placed center Jake Brendel and linebacker Mike Hull on injured reserve.Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: ://Steve_WineWho deserves the game ball after the Dolphins 27-20 victory over the Tennessee Titans? It was the longest game in NFL history.And despite everything that went wrong, the Dolphins were able to overcome the odds and defeat the Tennessee Titans 27-20 on Sunday.The Dolphins are now 1-0
Youth Jerome Baker Jersey , and there are several reasons for the team’s improbable victory.Reshad Jones played out of his mind, as did rookie defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick.Kenny Stills caught both of Ryan Tannehill’s touchdown passes and Jakeem Grant played well on the perimeter, in addition to his 102-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.The offensive line played well and surprisingly enough, so did the defensive line.As you can see, there are plenty of notable players deserving of the Week 1 game ball.So let’s take a closer look at the five nominees.Reshad JonesJones is one of the best safeties in the NFL and looked the part in Miami’s victory over the Titans on Sunday.He was all over the field, combining for 7 total tackles and 2 interceptions.He was a menace in the run game, and dropped into the box several times to make big plays.In addition, Jones made several plays in coverage and made things difficult for the Titans all day long.Reshad Jones should be nominated for several weekly awards around the league for his play in Week 1.Kenny StillsIn 2016, Ryan Tannehill and Kenny Stills developed chemistry and it picked up exactly where they left off.With Parker out, Stills was called upon to be the team’s #1 wide receiver, and it showed.Stills caught 4 balls for 106 yards and 2 Touchdowns.But none bigger than his 75-yard touchdown from Tannehill in the 4th quarter. Stills finished the game averaging 26.5 yards per catch.Expect a lot more of this from the veteran wide receiver.Ryan TannehillFor not playing in 637 days, Ryan Tannehill looked very good on Sunday.It was clear he had a strong understanding of the offense in year three, and knew where to go with the football on nearly every play.He used his strong accurate arm to make several tough throws, but none bigger than the 75-yard strike to Stills late in the game.It wasn’t all well and good for Tannehill, who threw two interceptions vs Tennessee.The first
Youth Reshad Jones Jersey , Mike Gesicki fell down on a fade route and an inaccurate throw from Tannehill made it easy for the Titans to make a play.Another, was a miscommunication on a deep ball to Jakeem Grant, that sailed way over the 5’6 speedster’s head.Tannehill finished the game 20/28 for 230 yards, 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.There were ups and downs, but enough good things to build upon heading into Week 2 vs the New York Jets.Minkah FitzpatrickThe rookie defensive back looked like one of the best players on the field on Sunday.His play in coverage is something the team has long yearned for and his sure tackling, might have saved the Dolphins the game.Minkah combined for six tackles on the day, but the stat line doesn’t do his play justice.He will be a versatile piece to the Dolphins’ defense for many years to come.We should all be thankful that he is a Miami Dolphin.Jakeem GrantDeVante Parker who?It is anyone’s guess as to what type of role “Mighty Mouse” would have had, if Parker were able to play on Sunday.Nonetheless, Grant made his impact felt.His 102-yard kickoff return is the second longest in Dolphins history and gave the team a necessary spark after the second intermission.Grant finished the game with 5 catches for 38 yards, but his play should warrant him more opportunities moving forward.He has the potential to be the Dolphins’ version of Tyreek Hill and that is something that fans should be excited for.So who do you think deserves the game ball for the Dolphins 27-20 victory over the Titans?Vote in the poll, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
