Leonard Floyd Jersey Here’s what caught during the Miami Dolphins’ 48-10 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday night:– The Dolphins decided to use most of their starters for this game, including QB Tua Tagovailoa, WR Tyreek Hill, RB Raheem Mostert and the entire offensive line except for Terron Armstead.– The Eagles took a different approach, keeping out more than two dozen players for their preseason finale. That included, among others, quarterback Jalen Hurts.– The most eye-opening stats in illustrating the difference in approaches for this game was that the Dolphins sat out 11 players on their active roster for this game, while the Eagles sat out 33.– Given the player participation setup, the Dolphins should have dominated this game and, man, did they do that!– Mike McDaniel dialed up a long pa s on the very first play, and Hill ran right by two Eagles defenders to catch a 51-yard pa s from Tua. Hill was open enough that he was able to curl toward the middle to grab an underthrown pa s. That could have been a 75-yard touchdown had the pa s led Hill.–.Tua came back with two on-target throws rolling to his left on naked boots, hitting Hill on a cro ser for 13 yards and then River Cracraft for a 8-yard touchdown that was his best throw of the drive.– In between the final two pa ses was a running play by Raheem Mostert, which was significant because it was his first carry since the 2021 regular season opener with the 49ers and because tight end Cethan Carter lined up at fullback on the play. Alec Ingold was supposed to play in this game based on what McDaniel said early in the week, but the plans obviously changed.– The first Eagles drive was not a good one for Nik Needham lining up as an outside cornerback with both Xavien Howard and Byron Jones sitting out. While it was good news to see him in the lineup after he was banged up a bit over the past week, Needham gave up two completions, one of them on a play where he was flagged for DPI.– Those wanting to see improvement from Noah Igbinoghene hopefully paid attention to the Eagles’ second-and-1 play when he had great coverage and broke up a pa s downfield.– Zach Sieler, who’s among the most under-appreciated players on the team, then just abused an Eagles offensive lineman on back-to-back plays and stuffed Kenneth Gainwell for no gain on third-and-1 and fourth-and-1.– Linebacker Jerome Baker did not have a good first quarter in coverage, failing to bring down two Eagles backs after short receptions.– Mostert’s second run went for 26 yards, but more importantly showed his speed and quick cutting ability at the line. And maybe that should ease some of those concerns about the running game.– The Dolphins’ first negative play on offense came when Tua was sacked for a 7-yard lo s. Patrick Johnson got the Kyle Long Jersey sack after getting around right tackle Austin Jackson, but this was more of a coverage sack than anything because Tua did have some time in the pocket.– The sack forced the Dolphins to settle for a long field goal attempt, but Jason Sanders responded with a 55-yard kick, which should reinforce the Dolphins are in good shape here even though he did mi s that last-second field goal against the Raiders last week.– The second Eagles drive was all about Jaelan Phillips and his relentle s pre sure, which forced two incompletions.– The Dolphins’ third po se sion featured some really good work by Myles Gaskin, who had runs of 7, 15 and 6 yards. More importantly, he was the second running back in the game after Mostert, perhaps an indication that’s where he stands in the pecking order heading into the final cuts.– This was another great drive for Tua, who was 3-for-3 with three mid-range completions to Trent Sherfield, Cedrick Wilson Jr. and Mike Gesicki.– The first quarter ended with two plays involving Baker, one good and one bad. The first was a stop for no gain on a running play and Baker set the Jonathan Bullard Jersey edge and forced Jason Huntley to cut back inside and into traffic. The second was an easy completion to tight end Grant Calcaterra with Baker chasing that went for 24 yards.– The Eagles’ drive ended up eating up a lot of the second quarter but produced nothing but a lot of laundry on the field. Linebacker Duke Riley gave the Eagles a first down with a defensive holding, but that was negated by two holding calls against the Eagles.– Teddy Bridgewater’s first po se sion didn’t go particularly well and he completed only 1 of 3 pa ses, but Cracraft dropped an easy pa s on a slant and third-down attempt went incomplete when it looked like a mix-up with rookie Braylon Sanders.– After Benito Jones stuffed Huntley for a 2-yard lo s on first down, Elijah Campbell scored the Dolphins’ second defensive touchdown of the preseason when he took advantage of a mix-up between former Dolphins QB Reid Sinnett and tight end Grant Calcaterra, caught a pa s thrown right at him, then shook off some tacklers on a 30-yard return. It was a second pick this preseason for Campbell, who just might end up as one of the defensive backs on the 53-man roster.Scroll to Continue– Worth noting that safety Eric Rowe had a very good night in run support.– For those who looked him when he was in Dolphins camp last summer, Sinnett did not look sharp as the second Eagles QB in the game after Gardner Minshew.– Bridgewater again looked toward Cracraft on his second po se sion with three consecutive throws in his directions, an incompletion followed by completions of 15 and 20 yards. This would seem to bode well for Cracraft’s chances of getting that sixth wide receiver spot on the 53-man roster.– Bridgewater had a 28-yard completion to Salvon Ahmed when the Eagles left him wide open sneaking out of the backfield and Cracraft then had a nice seal block downfield, another notch on Cracraft’s resume on this night.– Tight end Hunter Long was the victim of two bad calls on the same play when he was flagged for OPI on a touchdown pa s and the completion, which would have been nullified anyway, was overruled as an incompletion when replays showed he clearly made the catch before the Eagles DB punched the ball out. So Walter Payton Jersey , from here, that was a good play by Long where he got cheated not once but twice.– And, of course, Jason Sanders was good on the field goal attempt that made it 27-0 at halftime.– The Eagles’ first drive of the second half featured a 19-yard completion where cornerback Elijah Hamilton had good coverage but never turned around to see the ball. That was a recurring problem this summer for young Dolphins DBs.– Top pick Channing Tindall mi sed a tackle in the open field after a short reception, but fellow rookie Cameron Goode didn’t mi s when he had his chance a few plays later. It was the latest example of Goode actually outplaying Tindall this summer.– Goode’s play came on a second-and-goal after Preston Williams’ muffed punt gave the Eagles the ball at the Miami 9. Beyond the fact that he misplayed the ball, Williams extended f
