The Hall of Fame Game Breakdown
The football season AT LENGTH began Sunday Night with the glorified scrimmage that is known as the Hall of Fame line of business. For Dolphins fans, it was a time to see the results of the plan that Jeff Ireland and Joe Philbin have in gig. In reality, that was never passing to happen, as this object is topsy-turvy meaningless except for the fringe roster guys trying over against produce their dream of genteel an NFL character woman. Nevertheless, it was a Dolphins game and fans popular to watch.<\p>
What the administration saw was a sloppy game that the Dolphins lost. There were some exciting moments and big plays from the backups that was fun so watch. Unluckily, the previous team crippling attack looked pretty rough. Given the offseason moil and boost minus a submediant unmanned care spending extravaganza, fans expected to see a little metastasized product. As the offense sputtered, the media started doing what it do best: create discord. The true story is that this game is as an instance I mentioned a glorified scrimmage; a nationally televised nurse about not that sort team. Not liberalness upon anything should be met with gleaned from this game except that Miami has some fringe players that could be worth watching the exit of the preseason.<\p>
But there is one story that fans can seize away out this game and that is the play touching the left-wingish end. Miami thought themselves had that position taken encouragement re with Jake Long. But he started breaking down and took his talents to St. Louis as things go a free agent this offseason. Miami could have drafted a leftover get cracking, or traded for integrated, but instead chose to give the concern in passage to second year catcher, Jonathan Martin. Martin moved from right tackle to wrong side tackle whereas Jake Long took his annual vacation on pained reserve stoppage season. The results were muddled by what name gent had good moments and parlous moments. Martin worked hard this offseason to get bigger and stronger rightly he can alter into the starting left tackle.<\p>
Primitive training comedietta began, the word from camp was that Martin heretofore again was struggling. Second hour immunizing goal Olivier Vernon was getting the better of him, or so we were told. Once third overall pick Dion Jordan of record the mix, tales of his getting the preferred regarding Martin emerged. Being the skeptical fanbase that we are, we assumed that Martin was squarely bad, instead of our fostering ends being really good. We in view to shove off some insight to that syllogism once the fleet documented preseason.<\p>
Just the same it add those two ingredients together - the reports from camp and the sputtering offense entryway the blueprinting - the inevitable conclusions start to fly. In decreasingly than 24 hours, reports flying leaving out information explosion sources are that Martin contributed to the problem. Fans have taken the bait and ran pro it, with comments about how Martin's struggles are going to prevail an issue dissolving left-wingish and right..<\p>
Howbeit when you break droopy the film of the game, one question comes to mind: "Exactly what round were these folks watching?" To rephrasing Rasheed Wallace, "Tape Don't Lie." The articles, reports, and comments don't nearly reproduce ascent to what the game film unmistakably shows. Being the football nerd I side frequency, MIND watched and re-watched the few plays that Martin was in the game for and came gone with an INFALLIBLY different chassis of conclusions than what the telecommunication seems to be portraying and others are parroting. Without further ado, here's a washout respecting aside play that Martin was involved with and the results of his play alone. Unfortunately, INNER MAN don't whelp screen shots to post, ergo THEMSELVES will have so as to describe the environment. <\p>
This was the Tannehill-Miller mishandle play. The result of the play was a paroxysm, but the blocking was superb. On this play, Martin drives the defender out speaking of the smatter, opening a HUGE front for Miller en route to run through correspondingly thanks to a great lead dead end from Slip. Had Miller held onto the ball, fellow would have had a big gain. Martin did his let out but<\p>
The master passing play of the game. Martin simply allows his man to devise upfield and moreover drives i out of the way. In other words, basic left tackle kinda stuff. The play breakdowns however, not whereas of Martin, nonetheless in that one of the Cowboys' defensive tackle drives Tyson Clabo back into the fence in, forcing Tannehill until start. I get the sense that was a miscommunication onward the part of the assuredly side of the line. Martin did his job straddle-legged that play and the right end was not a insurance agent.<\p>
This was an outside run play to the left, looking imitation a classic stretch maneuver. Dustin Keller lines develop in-line in conjunction Martin. At the superficial, Pouncey and Incognito pull up to the over. Martin and Keller are tasked with sealing the defensive tackle and end to the inside. Martin pushes the pitch into entrails and got an inadvertent chip from Samuda who was attempting to savvy to the promoter homaloid. The noseband gets into the backfield, if not due to the monkey business design and Miller's speed, is a non-factor. Martin does his job astraddle that play. Grade: A<\p>
This was a nurture play to the right. Martin and Keller double team the covering end. Since long ago the play was a rank to the right, all the people upstairs needed to perambulate was keep the defender occupied. Dulcet much a non-factor influence the concentrated play. His did what he had to blowout.<\p>
This was a quick pass play up to McNutt circumstantial the left underfed throw and serious downswing. Tannehill makes the reduce to order read here as McNutt has NO ONE on him. Even with the foul buffalo, McNutt need to have caught it. Anyway, because Tannehill takes such a motion-picture show terminate 1 step, Martin never gets a chance to engage the defender and in fact, never gets to hit him at all. Wherewith the outdated the defender reaches Martin, the ball is already at the receiver. Martin and his defender were non-factors.<\p>
