DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -Veteran linebacker Jason Taylor and some of the Miami Dolphins’ top draft picks made the biggest plays in the intrasquad scrimmage Saturday.
That was a good thing for Pat White and Sean Smith but not for cornerback Vontae Davis. Davis, the Dolphins’ first-round pick from Illinois, struggled on his first play when he bit on a double move by fellow draft pick Brian Hartline. Hartline, a fourth-round choice from Ohio State, got 5 yards behind Davis before catching a deep pass from quarterback Chad Henne.
Also during the scrimmage, Taylor got to Henne for what would have been a sack and his pressure also hurried two other passes, including a Ted Ginn Jr. pass that was intercepted.
Taylor refused to get overly excited about his strong showing.
“This is practice,” he said. “I don’t want to sound like Allen Iverson or anything, but this is practice. It is a whole different ballgame come game day. But I know I can do that.”
