Lessons from Wednesday's preseason games
» Miami Dolphins running back Daniel Thomas did his best to climb out of Dolphins coach Joe Philbin's doghouse. He ran hard, bouncing off tacklers for 31 yards on five carries.
» Ryan Tannehill went 6-of-8 for 41 yards in two series. The Dolphins had a three and out and a long drive capped by a short field goal against the Dallas Cowboys' backups. That's progress.
» Cowboys third-string quarterback Stephen McGee started the game and did nothing to make us think Dallas will keep him on the roster.
» We really wanted the Dolphins to win so the "Hard Knocks" finale wouldn't be so depressing.
