The Miami Dolphins looked unprepared in their Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, and Wes Goldberg believes Jeff Hafley may have made his first major mistake as head coach: not giving the starters enough preseason snaps. Miami committed costly mistakes, struggled defensively and looked like a team playing its preseason opener instead of a regular-season game. Wes revisits his Dolphins-Raiders predictions to explain where he was right and very wrong. The running game mattered, but Miami underestimated Ashton Jeanty, overestimated the impact of Brock Bowers’ absence and didn’t get enough from Chop Robinson, Zach Sieler or the defensive front.
