NFL Preseason Week 2 Game Recap: Miami Dolphins 28, Houston Texans 3

Miami's rushing performance shines in preseason, with Salvon Ahmed and Raheem Mostert averaging impressive yards per carry. Rookie Will Anderson Jr. displays playmaking ability. Offensive line adjusts well despite Terron Armstead's injury.

Miami's rushing game was the star of the show in the preseason, with Salvon Ahmed leading the way. He managed to surpass 100 yards on just 10 carries, displaying his explosive speed and agility. Although he fell just short of reaching the century mark, averaging an impressive 8.3 yards per attempt. Raheem Mostert also had a solid performance, averaging 5.0 yards per carry, with 4.3 of those yards coming after contact.

On the defensive side, Derek Stingley Jr. faced high expectations in his second season after a standout rookie year. Despite extensive playing time, Stingley was only targeted once by the Dolphins, and that pass was not completed. He also made a tackle in the run game, showcasing his versatility and ability to contribute in multiple areas.

The rookie spotlight was on Will Anderson Jr., who made a significant impact with a game-changing play. He bulldozed running back Salvon Ahmed and forced a fumble on Skylar Thompson, displaying his strength and playmaking ability. As a rookie, Anderson will face pressure to perform at a high level, especially considering the Texans traded up to acquire him just one pick after C.J. Stroud. However, based on his performance in this game, he seems more than capable of living up to the expectations.

The offensive line faced a challenge with Terron Armstead's injury, but they showcased their adaptability. Isaiah Wynn, who has primarily played left tackle in the NFL, started at left guard in this game. Kendall Lamm stepped in at left tackle and did an excellent job, not allowing any pressure on nine pass-blocking snaps. Kion Smith also had a solid day after replacing Lamm. However, Wynn struggled in his new role at guard, facing some difficulties.

Overall, Miami's offense and defense showed promising signs in this preseason game. The rushing attack was dominant, the defense showcased its talent, the rookie made a significant impact, and the offensive line displayed adaptability. As the regular season approaches, it will be interesting to see how these performances translate to meaningful games.
