There is a loaded Week 2 NFL preseason slate in store for Saturday, with one of those games featuring the Miami Dolphins (0-1) taking on the New York Giants (0-1) at Hard Rock Stadium in South Florida.
The Giants aren’t expected to give many, if any, starters playing time, and while it remains to be seen how much, if at all, the Dolphins’ projected starters will play, first-year head coach Jeff Hafley will use Saturday as another opportunity to get his young roster valuable reps ahead of the regular season as he assesses the talent he has at his disposal throughout the depth chart. Former Green Bay and now Miami quarterback Malik Willis notably completed 4 of 5 passes for 43 yards with a 102.5 passer rating in the Dolphins’ Week 1 preseason loss to Washington, while running backs De’Von Achane and Ollie Gordon II each averaged 5.6 yards per carry, with Achane finding the end zone once.
A big storyline to monitor in this matchup is how the players will react to one another on the field after a fiery joint practice earlier in the week. It was a chaotic, fight-filled session with multiple punches thrown, largely sparked by the Giants’ pass rush completely overwhelming the Dolphins’ offensive line and generating heavy pressure.
