DAVIE, Fla. -- The outlook is cloudy for the Miami Dolphins offense, so its no surprise rain began to fall during practice Monday, making it difficult to hold onto the ball, much less advance it up the field.How did the Dolphins do?We didnt look good enough, offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen said. I was disappointed. Were going to play in some rain games, and that was great work for us. But we fumbled a couple of snaps, and thats unacceptable.Alas, the offense hasnt looked good in dry weather, either. Christensens unit was manhandled in an early training camp scrimmage, and in a brief test in the exhibition opener Friday at the Giants, the first-team offense netted 8 yards in seven snaps.Theres been no sign of improvement from last year, when Miami ranked 28th in points and went 6-10. Progress needs to come soon, Christensen said.Weve got to protect our quarterback better, weve got to run it better, weve got to throw and catch it better, weve got to do everything better, he said. These next two weeks, if we dont see some big improvements, then we better get a little bit nervous.The Dolphins play Friday at Dallas and on Aug. 25 against Atlanta in Orlando. It would be fair to predict the starters will see more action in those games, except Christensen and head coach Adam Gase arent sure who some of the starters are.Both guard jobs remain open, and theres a competition between Jay Ajayi and Arian Foster at running back. Its difficult to evaluate personnel, Christensen said, because the offense is not yet operating at full speed while learning a new playbook from a new coaching staff.Theres too much thinking, he said. Weve given them a lot to think about it, and it slows folks down. We look like a team thats thinking and making sure were trying to do the right thing.As a result, familiar problems persist, with blocking the most worrisome issue. The line has struggled to protect Ryan Tannehill in practice, and the Giants pressured him plenty.Some observers wonder why first-round draft pick Laremy Tunsil keeps lining up with the second team at guard, while holdovers Dallas Thomas and Billy Turner work with the first unit despite their shaky play in the past. But first-year coach Gase said he wants his staff to thoroughly assess every player on the roster.I know everybody is really itching to fire everybody and bench everybody, Gase said. But everybody has a fresh start with this crew. Our job is to evaluate what we see. Anything that happened in the past is irrelevant. It doesnt matter to me. Every guy is going to get a true evaluation, and well make our final decision before the first game of the season. This is going to be the process that we go through.Christensen said the line will be fine by the time the season begins Sept. 11. The group includes four former first-round picks -- Tunsil, tackles Branden Albert and JaWuan James, and center Mike Pouncey.I think were going to end up with not only a good offensive line, but a deep one, Christensen said. Were going to end up pretty good.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine .

ANDREWS, Scotland -- Tyrrell Hatton equaled the course record at St. Andrews to take control of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on Saturday.The English golfer carded 10 birdies in a flawless 62 on the Old Course, and will take a three-shot lead over compatriot Ross Fisher into Sundays final round at the same venue, one of three used for the pro-am event.Hatton, ranked 53 in the world, finished 17 under par in pursuit of his first European Tour title.(Its) quite clearly the best round Ive ever had, Hatton said. My bad shots, I didnt really get punished for them. I missed them in good spots and I just putted really well. If you are holing putts, youre always going to shoot a decent score.The putt on 17 was probably the best putt I holed today, 25 feet. But the majority of them were around six to 15 feet and if you keep knocking them in, its certainly good for confidence.Fisher, the halfway leader who lost a playoff for the European Open last month, carded a 69 at Carnoustie to finish 14 under, with South Africas Richard Sterne and Swedens Joakim Lagergren a shot further back.ddddddddddddHopefully, Ill be drawn with Tyrrell (on Sunday), because were pretty good friends, Fisher said. Weve spent quite a few evenings together for dinner and stuff.Im sure well go out there and have some fun and put on some good golf for the public and, you know, whether its me, him, someone else, theres going to be a worthy winner come tomorrow afternoon.Martin Kaymer is five shots off the lead after a 65 on the Old Course, but he was more concerned with making the cut in the team event with his father Horst.I know how hard hes trying, and we played the last few years and we always came one shot short, Kaymer said. He never experienced the final round at St. Andrews, so the most important thing is that we have a good time out there as a family. ' ' '
