Albert Not Expected Back Until Week 3; Pouncey Exits Early With Injury
While Miami’s first-team offense has looked solid in its first two outings, the starting defense has been slightly underwhelming.
How to watch Dolphins vs Falcons? Ryan had a flawless 158.3 passer rating in each of the first two games, but against Miami he settled for 3 for 7 for 49 yards, including a 28-yard completion to Leonard Hankerson. The Falcons have long counted on mainstay Matt Ryan at quarterback, and now they’re hoping the arrival of new coach Dan Quinn from Seattle will put them over the hump.
“It was fun because I told him I see this thing every day”, Garfinkel said.
The Falcons offensive line has shown some cracks in pass protection and I think the Dolphins will break through to reaffirm the weakness of the offensive line, especially through the interior which is the most devastating pressure. We will see more action from the starters and we may even get the answers to some of the biggest questions on the depth chart.
One individual match up to look out for in today’s game is the mouthwatering face off between Darrelle Revis and Odell Beckham, Jr.
While Tannehill wasn’t touched, counterpart Matt Ryan was sacked three times in four series.
Julio Jones has an undeniably elite combination of size, speed and physicality that allows him to dominate just about any corner in the NFL.
I think the team can limit the excellent Lamar Miller in the run game.
Adrian Clayborn and Jonathan Babineaux should be able to make plays against a questionable pair of guards on passing downs.
Mike Pouncey is one of the best centers in the league.
Roddy White will not be playing in the game on Saturday along with Desmond Trufant or William Moore. This is looking like it will be a quarterback’s game. “I wanted to go back out there and test it out”.
This game features intriguing matchups all over the field that will provide Quinn and Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin a solid evaluation of their players, with the first round of roster cuts coming Sunday.
The Atlanta Falcons are coming off from a 30-22 debacle against the New York Jets in Week 2.
