The Miami Dolphins got exactly the kind of test they needed.

Kim Bokamper and Joe Rose are on the road in Washington after watching the Dolphins' joint practice with the Commanders, and they're breaking down what they saw as Miami's young roster faced a much more experienced opponent ahead of the preseason opener.

Bo and Joe discuss the growing pains in the Dolphins' secondary, concerns along the offensive line, Caleb Douglas making plays at wide receiver, young defenders who flashed and the players who still need to step forward as Miami searches for answers throughout the roster.

Plus, the Malik Willis conversation continues. Is he simply the Dolphins' quarterback right now—or could he become their quarterback of the future? Bo and Joe discuss Willis' development, his growing leadership role and why getting meaningful preseason reps could be so important before Week 1.

For a Dolphins team relying heavily on young players, this joint practice provided an important measuring stick—and Bo and Joe explain why getting challenged by Washington may ultimately be exactly what Miami needed.
