There's a delicate balance Adam Gase must maintain as the Dolphins' coach leads his team out of an injury-filled training camp, and into Thursday night's preseason game against the Ravens.
Gase has to get his offense and especially his new quarterback, Jay Cutler, ready for the Sept. 10 season opener against the Bucs at warp speed.
So Cutler, lured out of retirement two weeks ago, will make his Hard Rock Stadium debut tonight.
"It'll just be good to get that first group out there for a little longer this time and see if we can get something going," Gase said.
