The final Preseason game might be the final game for many players.
Miami’s final preseason game isn’t devoid of important moments.
The Miami Dolphins will play their final preseason game tonight against the Tennessee Titans in Miami’s new stadium. Most of the starters will not be playing tonight, however those that do will have a short leash, because no one wants and injury at this point of preseason
This game is mainly all about the second string and depth players getting a final chance to showcase their skills. Many players will also be playing to make one last statement to the coaches in regards to making the 53 man roster. Most pay per head sportsbook fans also understand that this game gives these “bubble players” one more opportunity to build some game tape, so if they are cut, another team might bring them in due to what they see on film.
Although, Xavaien Howard, Anthony Steen, and Laremy Tunsil, who are starters, will be getting extra reps to get themselves ready for Week 1 of the Regular Season. They should be the primary keys for the Miami staff and Fin Fans to keep their eyes locked on. We should all hope they make strides and do well.
But, again this is mostly about players like Mike Hull, Jordan Lucas, Brandon Doughty, Zac Dysert, Damien Williams, Grif Whalen, Thomas Duarte, Kraig Urbik, Jamil Douglas, Julius Warmsley, James-Michael Johnson, Spencer Paysinger, Chimdi Chekwa, and A.J. Handy getting a significant amount of playing time to either cement their position on the roster or cement their departure.
Of this list, I believe Julius Warmsley, Grif Whalen and Mike Hull need to show something to have a good chance to make the team — they need to have a solid performance tonight. The two QB’s of Doughty and Dysert are going to be long shots to make the team, because most teams only keep 2 QB’s on the active roster, and Tannehill and Moore are definitely those two guys. If for some odd chance Miami keeps a third QB, which I highly doubt, I believe that Dysert has had the more consistent camp and preseason of the two.
Of the lineman, John, Douglas and Urbik both are in danger of not making the team. This actually shows that our depth on the offensive line has greatly improved, because Douglas started a few games last season for us, and Urbik was a starter in the Bills offensive not so long ago. So, it’s encouraging that on a talent perspective that they might not even make our roster. Lastly, the secondary has not played that well so far, but that is definitely more of an experience issue. Chekwa may actually get the last roster spot in terms of the secondary unit, but in terms of this unit, the team may want to bolster it on the waiver wire from another team’s cast away.
Well, this is the last free-be that Miami gets…it should be fun. What are the rest of the Miami Dolphins news fans thoughts about who will make a statement tonight to earn themselves a spot on the roster? Go Fins!!!
