- Dax Hill posted a 64.1 and DJ Turner a 64.4. But considered they each only had 6 plays it is pretty academic.

- C Matt Lee posted a 68.0 total with an 84.2 pass blocking score.

- Trayvon Williams and Noah Cain posted scores of  69.2 and 58.8 respectively. Both were in the high 70s / low 80s pass blocking and the big difference was pass receiving (64.1 to 83).

- LT Jason Kirkland like Matt Lee got a lot of snaps. Like Matt Lee he also graded high (overall 73.2 pass block 86.9).

Nice to see a bunch of prospects showing promise.

Great notes for a preseason game where the other team played their starters for almost an entire half against our 2nd and 3rd stringers.

I thought Kirkland had a good night and makes me feel better about OT position.

Lee may push Hill to the PS or off our team. But Hill is also a backup guard so not likely.

I thought Williams showed some flashes, but to me he will never be a RB to be feared by any defense.

Love seeing both Matt Lee and Jaxon Kirkland playing well. Gives me some hope not all is lost with Pollack.

He was called a steal when we got him, one of those picks where people said, "Wait....why the hell is he still available? He should have gone 3 or 4 rounds ago" and, in this limited sample size, he has lived up to the hype.

Matt Lee was only available because he was not the best run blocking Center. A pure pass blocking Center, so a 1 trick pony at Miami.

Thru 2 preseason games, Matt Lee has an 86.1 pass block grade, which is 1st among all qualified rookie NFL offensive linemen.

He has yet to surrender a single pressure on 50 pass block snaps. pic.twitter.com/lPd2y3t6ZA

If Lee can get better in run blocking we will have a special player on our hands.
