Positives from the game

I know a lot of people are just pointing out the obvious negatives of the game but I would like to shift to focus on the positives of the game. I know people are upset about this game but keep in mind that it is preseason. If you make mistakes, the time is now. This period is used for coaches to look at their players. Let's face it, some of the players out of the field last night won't be there next week. With that being said, I would have to say that my big positive was seeing T. Davis out there. He made a few key stops on that goal line stance. Sadly, they ended up scoring but it is good to see him being active.

TE- I am loving the fact that our QB's are using our TEs as a safety net. Having both Shockey and Oslen out there will definitely free up the focus on Smitty once he returns.

I could name a few others but anyone else seen anything they liked out of a particular player or situation?

another sutton fan here. the dude is just tough. very well could be starting on a lot of teams or at least the #2 RB in a committee. i wish there were more opportunities for him. i feel good having him as the #4 RB, tho. imo, he's more reliable than goodson. not quite as dynamic, but he's tougher and he hangs on to the ball. he's a great blocker, too.

Am rewatching game and there were two turnovers on the Dolphins first drive that could have changed the outcome of the game. First fumble was blown dead and 2nd we have 12 men on the field. Have to remember, Beason, Gamble, and Hardy are not playing. Our LBs will be sick once Beason is back.

Sutton looked decent, Olsen and Shockey will be used and if the WRs can get better seperation then uh oh. and the most positive thing is that Cam Newton got a full taste of the NFL and while people will say what was positive about it, what was positive is that he got experience as a starter which will only help in the long run.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
