Now is the time for players to ball out if they want to make the team. Rookies need to use this game to adjust to the speed of the NFL. Veterans fighting for a roster spot must use this time to prove their worth.

The starters will play at max the first 3 series on offense and defense, so this game will mainly be used to evaluate the rookies and the depth of the team. What the Dolphins lacked last year was depth at most positions, minus quarterback and running back.

In this first preseason game, it would be optimal to see the improvement of players and overall depth of the team.
