K-9 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Did I just hear Murph say that Fales got 1st team reps in practice? Makes sense. Might as well see what you got as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well see what you got as a backup. Report: Fins may play backup QB Fales some Sun. Posted by Chris Brown on December 29, 2017 – 3:13 pm He’s unlikely to start the game, but there is a report out of Miami that the Dolphins in their effort to get an evaluation on third-year backup QB David Fales may get him on the field for some quality snaps in Sunday’s game against the Bills. That according to the Miami Herald’s Armando Salguero. Sources are telling him as part of the team’s recognition that they need a viable backup quarterback, the team wants a solid evaluation of Fales, who has only thrown five passes in his NFL career, while with Chicago, under Gase who was the offensive coordinator with the Bears at the time. So although Jay Cutler will start the game and Gase still wants to beat the Bills, if the game goes a certain way, there appears to be a strong possibility that Fales could see time on the field. All indications per Salguero are that Ryan Tannehill will remain the starter in 2018 for Miami, but they want a viable backup for the future. David Fales is an option that’s under their nose, but without time on the field, there’s not much for the club to go on. So if the Bills get up on the Dolphins early Fales could enter the game sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that the Bills defenders often times go for the strip of the ball instead of just wrapping up and making the tackle. They might be a victim of their own early season success at forcing turnovers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 11 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins QB Tyrod Taylor’s play under pressure – The Dolphins’ defense has been one of the fastest at getting pressure this season. Their average time to pressure of 2.32 seconds is the second-fastest in the NFL. With the likes of Ndamukong Suh and Cameron Wake, who have a combined 99 total pressures, Bills blockers may have some trouble ahead of them. Taylor has seen pressure on 37.7 percent of his dropbacks this season, the seventh-highest rate of any quarterback. However, he has handled it fairly well, recording a passer rating of 77.1 under pressure that ranks seventh among quarterbacks. This is not surprising...Taylor escapes pressure many times and then buys a lot o extra time and turns the play into a backyard play they draw up in the sand.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) Five Storylines for Bills-Dolphins - Locked On Bills"For the first time in more than a decade, the Buffalo Bills will be playing meaningful football in the final week of a regular season." Fairburn's prediction Season record: 8-7 The Bills should win this game without much trouble. Fans in Buffalo have come to expect the worst, but the Bills match up well against the Dolphins, who have little reason to be up for this game. Expect Tyrod Taylor to have another solid outing, while the Bills defense should harass Cutler throughout the afternoon.

Also its almost as if they try harder to strip than tackle after a big play already happened. As if they were trying to make up for their error and try too hard. Just make the tackle at that point.
