From two viewings of the game, a look at how every Dolphins defensive player did in Thursday’s preseason-opening 26-24 loss to Tampa Bay:
DEFENSIVE END
Andre Branch: Starting in place of Cam Wake, Branch couldn’t stop a Ryan Fitzpatrick run for a first down and couldn’t get to quarterback in a limited number of pass rushing opportunities. But did have one of Miami’s four tackles for loss. Should be fine this season as Miami’s No. 3 end, provided he doesn’t have a setback with his knee.
Robert Quinn: Unremarkable Dolphins debut. Was blocked effectively on a couple of runs and didn’t generate much pass rush in couple of opportunities.
