Garoppolo, who threw for 264 yards and a touchdown and had a 106.1 quarterback rating, has three home games left before Brady returns for the October 9 game at Cleveland. It’s on Miami’s defense to stop Garoppolo and Bill Belichick. He didn’t show up on your defensive stat sheet in Week 1, instead playing 21 snaps on special teams as he gets accustomed to the New England system. But Cannon needs to be better immediately and he faces a strong challenge against Dolphins pass rusher Cameron Wake this week.

Julian Edelman. He roasted the Cardinals last week with seven catches on seven targets for 66 yards, many of those chain-moving receptions that allowed the Patriots to burn clock and keep the Arizona offense off the field. Even if we humored to the idea of the Patriots trading Brady, why on Earth would they trade him to any team in the AFC East? He’s watched it from afar as an assistant and has seen the same thing on film this week.
They have lost seven straight games at New England, with some bad numbers – like allowing 32 points per game.
The Seahawks sacked Tannehill five times in last Sunday’s game.
It’s probably why he had his team watching film of the Dolphins on their flight back from Arizona early Monday morning.
Jimmy Garoppolo did not have to move to his second read on a 3rd-and-10 during Sunday’s opening drive (it was a crucial, tone-setting play; watch below). But, after Week 1, we are seeing the same thing that we have been seeing for over 10 years. “… If you make one play, in both two minutes – before the half and at the end of the game – you win the ballgame”.
Parker missed last weekend’s season opener due to a hamstring issue, but has been practicing at full speed despite being listed as a limited participant throughout this week.
Parker said he wanted to play Week 1 at Seattle, but Gase held him out of the game.
Miami Dolphins running back Arian Foster (hamstring) is questionable for Week 2 against the New England Patriots. RB Arian Foster (hamstring) also began preparations for the Patriots as a spectator.
FAST FACTS: Miami coach Adam Gase said his defense’s third-down failures – Seattle converted at 5 for 16 (31 percent) – led to the Seahawks having 29 more plays than the Dolphins.Miami is plus-2 in the takeaway/giveaway department, which is good considering the Dolphins were minus-3 last season. These questions and more will be answered on Sunday afternoon in New England…

He’s fallen in Foxboro – In four trips to Foxboro, Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been sacked 22 times for 156 yards, never less than four times in a game. But he’s coming off an inconsistent game at Seattle (186 yards passing and no touchdown passes). “You just always have to be on your toes as a quarterback, as an offense, be able to adapt to what’s going on in the game and just take care of the football”, he said.
