Coming off road win, Dolphins finally return home this week
After all, Sanchez has twice the amount of experience in Chip Kelly’s offense compared to Bradford and it was noticeable Sunday as he had the unit moving a million miles a minute.
Philadelphia Eagles’ Sam Bradford heads to the locker room after an injury during the second half of an NFL football game against the Miami Dolphins, Sunday, November 15, 2015, in Philadelphia.
“Yeah, I think that’s what everybody’s point is”, Kelly said.
Enter Eagles backup QB Mark Sanchez: The Eagles’ turnover machine.
“That’s the kind of day it was”, offensive tackle Dennis Kelly said.
Suh had one of his best games since joining the Dolphins (4-5).
“Certainly wasn’t flawless”, Campbell said.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford is reportedly expected to miss this weekend’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “It’s great to have (Derrick) Shelby in there – we work together in practice”. And this game he didn’t play the way Jason expects himself to play, and we understand that. The quarterback went down in the third quarter of the game due to a concussion and injured left shoulder. Receiver Rishard Matthews (five receptions, 93 yards) was productive once again. Austin said he was looking up for the ball and didn’t know how close he was to the end line on the touchdown catch that wasn’t, when it seemed he could have dragged his left foot, but did not.
It’s always easy to put the blame on the kicking team when a team come up short, but whether the snap was low or not, it is absolutely, positively 100% unacceptable for the Eagles’ kicker (remember, out of respect for Steve O, we don’t mention the names of ANY Eagles’ kickers on TMA) to boot a 32-yard field goal attempt. The tight-ends were being utilised, the accuracy was there and has only thrown under 200 yards in a game once all season. The fact that the Eagles allowed this game to get away is disgraceful.
After a major blunder by returner Damien Williams on the kickoff – he tried to bring it out from deep in the end zone, fumbled, picked it up at the 1 and went down – Walter Thurmond sacked Tannehill on a blitz and he fumbled out of the end zone for a safety.
“I mean, you have to do it every week”, Sanchez said.
Campbell said he likes what he sees from Ajayi, but that Miller will continue to be the main guy. The Miami Dolphins have a better chance of making the postseason, but with Tony Romo back, the Dolphins have to stop one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks. With Miami having a lot to play for, and the Cowboys falling quickly, this is a game that Miami seems to have an advantage coming into. The 6-foot-4 Suh has three of his four sacks over the last four games and has finally adjusted to his role in Miami after years in Detroit.
“We go through and look at each play that was good, bad or ugly and get them corrected and move on”, Shurmur said. Dolphins CB Brent Grimes was a surprise inactive, ending his streak of 40 straight starts. It was a strong effort considering linebacker Jelani Jenkins (ankle) missed the second half and undrafted rookies Neville Hewitt and Zach Vigil were pressed into action.
The Eagles have been last in the league in time of possession since Kelly arrived in 2013. “We just didn’t make the plays when we needed to”. For Eagles’ fans, I hope that Jeffrey Lurie makes the best decision and that is moving on from Kelly because, the sooner the better, this team can start to recover from what Kelly did to this team and can move on to something better. “But if (our offense) is out there a long time and they’re driving fast and don’t give (the defense) the opportunity to get ready, I feel that’s definitely real hectic for the defensive unit”.
“He’s causing havoc, and he was in the backfield all day”, Campbell said. Sometimes just trying to circle the reach or circle the nose or circle the 3-technique – and he uses his speed well to get to the outside edge, but he’ll give up too much penetration.
Eagles RB Ryan Mathews suffered a concussion. In four, he has not caught a pass.
“I gotta stop holding, I don’t know”.
