22-year old undrafted rookie WR Marlon Moore out of Fresno State appears to have won the #4 WR job for the Dolphins.  He will be behind Brandon Marshall, Brian Hartline and Davone Bess so he likely won’t get much P.T. unless one of those guys gets hurt.  He has caught 5 passes for 74 yards (14.8 avg) and he has carried the ball 2 times for 13 yards (6.5 ypc) this pre-season for the Fins.  Moore’s making of the team continues to prove that hard work and determination can help you beat the odds.

The Dolphins’ offense looked like it was running in quicksand last night against the Falcons.  Chad Henne didn’t look too good at all as he completed 10 of 22 passes for 123 yards with 1 INT.  Chad Pennington was also so-so as he completed 7 of 14 passes for 62 yards.  He also had 1 carry for 9 yards for the Fins.  Pat White looked o.k. in completing 4 of 4 passes for 27 yards.  Ronnie Brown didn’t look too sharp last night with 9 yards rushing on 8 carries (1.1 ypc) but he did catch one pass for 19 yards.  Ricky Williams carried the ball 4 times for 5 yards (1.3 ypc) but he also caught 5 passes for 43 yards (8.6 avg).  Brandon Marshall (3 rec, 51 yards) and Brian Hartline (3 rec, 52 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Dolphins last night.  The Dolphins finished up with 46 yards rushing (2.6 ypc) and 195 yards passing last night as they only had the ball for 26:52.

The defense was led by cornerback Vontae Davis who had 7 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss and he defensed 3 passes.  The defense played well for the Fins last night holding the Falcons to 102 yards rushing (2.8 ypc) and 159 yards passing despite being on the field for 33:08.  The Dolphins fall to 2-1 on the pre-season.
