I'm probably not going to be around the computer much today so I wanted to throw up this thread for tonight's game now. Better I do it really early rather than too late. As always, use this open thread for all game discussion.
Quickly, I just wanted to throw out there what I'll be paying the most attention to tonight:
1. The offensive line - I want to see how this line is shaping up, especially how the rookies (Satele, Mormino) are faring. It'll be a good test tonight for the starters, as they are reportedly going to a lot of action and Jacksonville's d-line is very good.
2. Ginn's involvement - I'm interested in seeing Ginn get his first crack at returns, but I'm more interested in seeing how Cam Cameron is looking to use Ginn offensively. I also want to see Ginn put to rest some of this talk about his "poor route running" and is "average hands." And getting a good look at his elite speed might be fun, too. Having Ginn start and play the entire first half will give us all a good luck at how he is progressing.
3. The quarterbacks - I'm curious as to how Trent Green is coming along in this offense. Having him on display for a half should tell us a lot as to where he stands right now in terms of his comfort level in this offense. I'm also interested in seeing Cleo Lemon. Some believe he really has a chance to win the starting job, but if he's going to do that, he has to look exceptional in the preseason. But I think I'm most excited to see what John Beck can do against an opposing team for the first time.
Those are the 3 main things I'll be watching tonight. A good way to start the preseason is with a win. Some say the preseason doesn't matter, but I want to see this team play with a winning mentality. Let's get off to a good start.
Go Dolphins!
Oh, and remember to scroll down a few posts andget involved in the Chris Chambers stat projections.
**UPDATE**: Dolphins win a thriller (sort of), 18-17. Some good stuff, some bad stuff. Look for my thoughts on the game sometime Sunday night. And remember: a win is a win!
**Update**: Incase you missed it, Vernon Carey went down early in the game holding his knee. But it seems we dodged a bullet. Here's what Cam said following the game:
