“I want everything run a certain way,” Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said before practice. “Now is the time to get everything exactly how we want it. How we practice.”
Here are some notes and quotes:
- WR Chris Bell (knee) worked on the side.RB De’Von Achane was in attendance but mostly observed. He seemed to be walking around fine with a helmet in hand.
- First-year head coach Jeff Hafley was active. In one drill he had a pad on his arm and was violently trying to knock the ball out of players’ arms.
- Rookie Caleb Douglas stands out as a bigger target among smaller receivers like Tutu Atwell, Malik Washington and Kevin Coleman. Douglas went high to catch a pass from Cam Miller over the middle.
- JuJu Brents had a pass defense of an attempt from Malik Willis to Malik Washington. Brents is an impressive athlete. When healthy, he had the talent as a capable starter.
- Dante Trader had coverage on an incompletion from Quinn Ewers to Tahj Washington.
- Dante Trader intercepted Malik Willis over the middle after a tipped ball.
- Kyle Louis had an interception return for a TD on rookie Mark Gronowski.
- Can Miller had Tahj Washington open on a deep ball but it was just a tad long and through his hands.
- Aaron Brewer and Jordyn Brooks, seeking contracts, were present
- Cornerback Alex Austin had a pass breakup.
- Team bonding and likely staying out on West Coast is a great opportunity and the Dolphins did express interest in back to back West Coast games to NFL schedule makers, Hafley said.
