DOLPHINS SQUAD SHOW: Dolphins Rookies FLASH — Now Comes MASSIVE 49ers Test for Young Miami Team

The Miami Dolphins are 0-1 after a frustrating 27-13 loss to Las Vegas, but the film revealed plenty that wasn’t obvious watching live.

GRIES, Kyle Crabbs and former Dolphins defensive lineman Jeff Zgonina break down what Jeff Hafley saw after reviewing Week 1, including Miami’s dramatic second-half defensive improvement, costly special-teams mistakes, protection problems and a young roster that produced several encouraging NFL debuts.

Rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas exploded for 94 receiving yards, Jacob Rodriguez recorded 14 tackles, Chris Johnson was repeatedly tested by Las Vegas, and young safeties Michael Taaffe and Dante Trader Jr. both intercepted Kirk Cousins.

But Miami still has major issues to correct: Malik Willis was sacked five times, De’Von Achane and the running game never got going, Miami generated no sacks of its own and the Dolphins’ kickoff coverage repeatedly handed Las Vegas favorable field position.

Then the Squad turns toward Week 2.

Miami heads to Levi’s Stadium as a 13.5-point underdog against a San Francisco 49ers team coming off a dominant 27-7 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Australia.
