Sparano: Moore can improve ball location

Miami Dolphins quarterback Matt Moore made a few bad throws Monday – the two Darrelle Revis interceptions being the obvious ones – though he was victim to some underwhelming reception attempts by wide receiver Brandon Marshall.

Dolphins coach Tony Sparano thinks Moore can improve on his ball location.

“ I think there’s some plays there just from ball location standpoint that if I had to pick one thing that he could do a better job of in this game that would be it,” Sparano told the media Wednesday. “You know, give it to them so they can run with it a little bit.

“That wasn’t terrible in the game that other night. Just that would be the thing I would be critical of.”

Moore finished the game 16-for-34 for 204 yards, two picks and no touchdowns, though he would have had a score and some extra yards had Marshall not run out of bounds on the team’s longest play of the game.

“During the game, the mentally we had last week was you got to move on to the next play, next play, next play, but to be honest with you, I was pumped,” Moore told the media Wednesday when asked about Marshall’s misstep. “What was the gain? So I was excited we got 46 yards on the play and put us in the position we were in.”
