Dolphins LB Olivier Vernon fined for late hit on Titans’ Mariota

“That’s one of the things you like about Zach”.

Miami entered the game with three straight losses and a 1-3 record overall. Wake also forced two fumbles. “That stuff helps”, Campbell said.

“When I got back to the bus”, he said, “I was blown out completely”. “He had four sacks and he probably should have had two more“. “They have guys that have played”.

“So for any of the doubters out there that said that Cam Wake is slowing up or slowing down, I don’t think so”.

Vernon’s camp claims Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan was holding his arm, pulling him down on the controversial low hit, which resulted in a sprained MCL in Mariota’s left knee.

Still, the play drew the ire of the Titans and coach Ken Whisenhunt. “I think it was B.S.”, Whisenhunt said after Tennessee’s 38-10 loss to Miami. Mariota stayed in the game initially after the hit, but was removed in the fourth quarter once the score was out of hand. It’s an uncomfortable situation for the player and his teammates to be in, as they are trying to prepare for a game on Sunday and will not want to deal with questions about dirty play. “So you’ve got to make sure that the toughness doesn’t cloud your thinking and put him in there at risk”.

“We’re just trying to play football”, he said.

Michael Vick, the Steelers’ second-string QB filling in for Ben Rothlisberger, left Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury.

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Dowling signed with Miami in September and was promoted from the team’s practice roster this month. You’ve just got to play. One of them was completely Tannehill’s fault. What a few may have missed amid the walking, talking, display of testosterone Dan Campbell is, may be the fact that beneath it all, Campbell’s best coaching characteristic may be his willingness to acknowledge his own vulnerability and shortcomings like lack of experience, fully delegating a few important during-game responsibilities to assistants and consultants, rather than overly micro-managing. There were other coaching changes made as well in an effort to salvage this season.

Regardless of who is under center, the Titans have a lot improving to do. Expect to see Aikens rotated into games more frequently, especially in the nickel defense.

Cornerback Brice McCain, who sprained his right knee in last Sunday’s win, did not practice Wednesday. There’s no word on the severity of his injury. He has not had much protection from the Tennessee Titans Offensive Line.

Lamar Miller’s seven-yard TD run at the 5:07 mark of the second quarter gave the Dolphins at 17-3 lead.

Reshad Jones came away with a pick and returned it for a touchdown while also completing six tackles.

“I’m surprised it happened so late in the season, being it’s something that happened a year ago”. It was easily the best and most aggressive game of the season.
