Still Early: Defense Better Than Offense In Scrimmage

The defense played better than the offense during the scrimmage Saturday. The defense got in on the quarterback often and penetrated the offensive line well. The defense held Brandon Marshall to just 11 yards and Chad Henne only completed 50% of his passes. While the defense should be given credit for a good performance Saturday, the offense should not be heavily critiqued just yet.

The pre-season is still young and the Dolphins are moving players around on the offensive side quite a bit. Heck, Sparano even brought in Hartline to take snaps at center. Charles Grant got the best of John Jerry on the day delivering 3 sacks to the offense. Jerry is still trying to be worked in by Sparano so he has not had much time yet to hone in on his strengths. Jerry will develop more soon enough and he shows good potential, nevertheless, Grant capitalized well on Jerry's unsteadiness.

more to come....
