A few quick notes from the Dolphins vs. Saints game, the last of the preseason.
The play of the game had to be the interception by rookie cornerback Sean Smith, which came midway through the first quarter. Saints quarterback Mark Brunell dropped back and threw what seemingly looked like a touchdown pass, when Smith outstretched his arm and grabbed the ball with one hand while staying inbounds.
Chad Pennington was not very exciting, but was effective going 8-11 for 56 yards. Chad Henne continues to gain experience going 11-16 for 89 yards.
It was nice to see some signs of life from WR Ted Ginn Jr., who had a 23 yard reception. Davone Bess continues to be the go to guy, catching 5 passes for 39 yards.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that right now Patrick Cobbs looks like the best running back on the roster. He had the only touchdown of the game, to go along with his 9 carries for 54 yards and 3 receptions for 23 yards.
Ok, I know its only preseason but I have to say I am excited about this Dolphins Team. Sean Smith has really stepped up to the plate this preseason and should help give an immediate improvement to the passing defense. Pat White role in the wildcat was not shown during the preseason, and for good reason. That element of surprise is what helped the Dolphins win 11 games last year. Up next, the Atlanta Falcons, and the start of the NFL regular season.
