1. KELLER A TARGET: With speedy receiver Mike Wallace working the outside, Keller should have little problem finding open space underneath and could be a nice safety valve for Tannehill this season. He caught two passes for 46 yards against the Jaguars, both down the middle of the field. The former New York Jets tight end had 28 receptions for 317 yards and two scores in an injury-shortened season a year ago.
2. BLACKMON'S OUTBURST: Forget the three points and four turnovers. Bradley's biggest concern coming out of this game centers on receiver Justin Blackmon. He sat out while recovering from groin surgery, but he was hardly quiet. He got into an argument with Dolphins cornerback Nolan Carroll during the second quarter. The verbal tiff escalated and included several teammates, getting so heated that it got Bradley's attention. Running back Maurice Jones-Drew eventually stepped in and escorted Blackmon to the locker room. Blackmon was in Bradley's office for a lengthy discussion after the game. It's not an ideal situation for Blackmon, who is suspended for the first four games of the regular season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. He has spent the past two months trying to prove he's more mature. "We'll talk about it as a team and say you know that's not who we are or what we want to become, so we'll take it out of our game," Bradley said. |
