Starters look ready but undisciplined play continues
Ryan Tannehill handled things on offense while Ndamukong Suh and the defense did their thing as well as the Miami Dolphins starters controlled most of the action against Carolina. This team has done nothing to quiet the expectations that they should be a playoff participant in 2015, but there is one lingering concern. They continue to play undisciplined at times, specifically regarding ball control. They fumbled three times in the game and also threw another two interceptions. Given the quality defenses they will face in the AFC East, that can’t become a trend.
