In just one week, the Miami Dolphins will have a joint practice with the Washington Commanders leading into their August 14th preseason game. On Friday, Jeff Hafley addressed South Florida reporters and said the day's session would be "a hard practice."
Before the team hit the field, he previewed the agenda by saying, "Today's going to be a lot of unscripted, move the ball, see where it lands, coaches call it, players respond without having the script because sometimes when you go into practice, the offensive or defensive coaches can hand them the script."
With the team practicing on Saturday within Hard Rock Stadium, Hafley added, "Today is going to be a long, hard practice, and I'm looking forward to see how they respond to that. And then it will be fun to get into the stadium. Really it will be my first time in there in really any mode on the field, so I'm excited for that."
After over a week's worth of evaluation, Hafley gave his **** sment of the team so far. He told media, "There's a lot of aspects I'm really happy with, and I am very satisfied with, and there's others where we have a ways to go, if I'm going to be honest with you. I think the buy-in, the attitude, the effort, the strain, the how hard they're trying to do all the little things that we ask to do."
Added Hafley, "Guys are showing up on time. They're where they're supposed to be. I think they're connecting. I think we're building the foundation as far as our culture goes and what it wants to be, but we've got work to do. We've got work to do as coaches. We've got work to do as players: scheme details, consistency. Just like everyone else around the league, there are injuries where you're trying to find out your depth."
