Willie Gay missed yesterday with an illness but is back in the building today and will practice. They want to see how he feels but Hafley appears optimistic for Gay's availability Sunday.
Dolphins OC Bobby Slowik with some good perspective on the struggles of the pass game:
Too often right now in the pass game I just don't think everybody sees the game through the same lens, and that starts with me.
He says that was his focus of the bye week and self-scouting.
Thought Chop had his best career game largely going against Brian O'Neill. Then, the next week, thought he put some really good rush reps together against Mims.
New Drive Time!!
Is this the week the @MiamiDolphins find that winning formula? I think it is…I explain inside the Phins-Jets preview episode

Hafley says Rodney McGraw made a strong impression early on as a UDFA by the way he hit the bag back in those initial spring practices. They realized he has a lot in his body, just hadn't played a lot of football.
He credits Rodney and the coaching staff for getting him up to speed and now on the 53-man roster.
On the potential impact of getting Caleb Douglas back:
It has a big impact on our offense. He was a big bright spot early on. Everyone was excited about him early on. We were counting on him then unfortunately he got injured.
Hafley says they’ll monitor him throughout the week to see how quickly he acclimates coming back off the injury.
Hafley on the team's energy coming off the bye week -
Sometimes teams will come back off a bye, mini-bye, any time off and can be sluggish. This group had incredible energy, they were locked in, flying around having fun together. This is a fun group to coach. They want to get better and grow. It was fun to get back at it. I missed it. I missed them. Guys are locked in.
