"Jones, after a failed tenure as New York Giants signal-caller and cup of coffee with the Minnesota Vikings last season, lit the Dolphins' pass defense up for 272 yards passing on 22-of-29 passing, throwing a touchdown and sneaking in two more. In the first half of Sunday's debacle of a 33-8 loss to the Colts, starting cornerback Storm Duck went down with an ankle injury."
"That meant veteran Rasul Douglas, who merely signed with the Dolphins on Aug. 27, was thrust into action early in his Miami tenure. It should be Douglas opposite cornerback Jack Jones from the start Sunday as the Dolphins' secondary looks to rebound against quarterback Drake Maye and the New England Patriots in the home opener at Hard Rock Stadium."
""Very pleased with how Jack played," Weaver said. "I thought Jack went out there, competed, was spot-on on his assignments, majority of the time. And he's just a juice guy. Inevitably, he's going to find the ball. It's just what he does." Douglas ended up playing 60 percent of snaps within two weeks of joining Miami. Both he and Jones had a pass breakup. Douglas nearly had his go for an interception."
The Miami Dolphins' secondary surrendered 272 passing yards to Daniel Jones in a 33-8 Week 1 loss, with Jones completing 22 of 29 passes and scoring a touchdown plus two sneaks. Starting cornerback Storm Duck suffered an ankle injury in the first half, forcing recent signee Rasul Douglas into significant snaps. Douglas played roughly 60 percent of snaps and nearly recorded an interception while he and Jack Jones produced pass breakups. Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver praised Jack Jones' assignments and competitiveness but noted Douglas is still adapting to new scheme verbiage. The secondary aims to rebound against Drake Maye and the New England Patriots.
