Dolphins vs. Bears Preseason Pick
Ryan Tannehill heads into his fourth season as the starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins.
Chicago will begin their preseason today against the Miami Dolphins and that likely means that McPhee will be targeting Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
Matt Moore took over the offense on the next drive.
He described the team’s approach on offense this season as featuring more “smash-mouth” running that he thinks will allow the team to establish “rhythm and kind of wear on defenses and wear them down” as games progress. Thursday night was no different.
“It’s extremely important to come out here and make plays with the Bears, especially because you never know how long you’re going to be here”, Perry said.
CHICAGO | In the first three quarters of last season, the Bears were outscored 88-56, 173-78 and 94-82. The one disheartening result coming out of the contest was how bad the Dolphins’ depth is up front.
The first half then turned into a punt fest, with both offenses stalling early in possessions. The drive was highlighted by a diving 34 yard reception by LaRon Byrd.
Outside linebackers Lamarr Houston and Willie Young didn’t suit up as the Bears plan to ease them back into things after their offseason surgeries.
– Dan Durkin has five things that jumped out to him in the first preseason game. On the first drive, the Dolphins had four more plays of at least seven yards on first and second downs. The Seattle Seahawks are next on the road and the team plays three of four on the road including Seattle. The Bears lack a short-yardage runner, which may benefit Carey, who was decisive with his runs and pressed the line of scrimmage. The Dolphins defense, however, held on, despite a penalty from Anthony Johnson, and Gould had to kick his second field goal of the night.
With a successful two-point conversion, the Bears took a 17-10 lead on Miami. “That’s how the game is played”.
Acho recorded the pick while defensive lineman Cornelius Washington got pressure on quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson and undrafted rookie linebacker Jonathan Anderson drew a double team on a delayed blitz. On fourth and goal, he hit Jarvis Landry for six points and raised questions about a rebuilding Chicago Bears defense. The Bears open at home against the Packers and the team will play against the Arizona Cardinals next. While the starters struggled on both sides of the ball, there were some positives. The cornerback/special teams ace put together a nice performance tonight. He later scored the first touchdown for the Bears late in the third quarter on 4th-and-1. Turner was playing for his job, and it showed. The price for the full season is $99.99, which includes full replays of games, condensed games and NFL film camera angles. The Bears racked up 13 penalties for 73 yards. The Bears had 14 penalties for 78 yards. “That’s what practice is about, that’s what games are about, that’s what preseason is about”. He also showed off his agility when he ran for a first down.
The Dolphins next face the Carolina Panthers on August 22 at 7pm ET.
