Daily News | Eagles defense focused on limiting big plays has its hands full with Tyreek Hill in joint practices vs. Dolphins
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill runs with the football against Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay during an NFL football training camp at Baptist Health Training Complex in Hard Rock Stadium on Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2022 in Miami Gardens, Fla. MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — It took exactly one rep for Tyreek Hill to make his presence felt Wednesday.
Still, the opening play was a sign of what was to come for the Eagles defense during joint practices against a Miami offense obsessed with capitalizing on its blazing perimeter speed. Miami had a handful of successful deep shots during the first of two practices before Saturday’s preseason game. After one day, the advantage goes to the Miami offense. The opening one-on-one period featured a heavy dose of fades and go routes from just about every receiver, and the vertical attack continued during team drills.
Without their top two cornerbacks, the Eagles surrendered a high number of completions against Miami’s starters. Zech McPhearson started at outside cornerback in Bradberry’s spot and Kary Vincent got most of the first-team reps once Slay’s day was done. Marcus Epps and Anthony Harris were the starting safeties.
Throughout Dolphins’ training camp, Tagovailoa has reportedly been more aggressive downfield than in his first two years, partly because of the addition of Hill. On Wednesday, the Dolphins had several chunk plays while also hitting a high percentage of underneath passes.
