SCOUTING JACKSONVILLE: The Dolphins are 1-6 this season, and are still searching for their first PFL win. Butler will need to slow down the Jacksonville ground attack in order to earn the win. Jacksonville ranks second in the PFL in rushing offense (328.6), but they are last in passing offense (42.7). The one dimensional approach allows QB Calvin Turner Jr. to post monster numbers. The sophomore leads the PFL in rushing yards (1,148), rushing yards per game (164.0), and touchdowns (14). He is coming off a four touchdown game at San Diego where he rushed for 202 yards. Turner Jr. has rushed for 100+ yards in six of seven games this year. He made a position change in 2018 after starting his career at Jacksonville as a defensive back. Turner Jr. played in 10 games a year ago playing primarily on special teams. The switch has not helped the Dolphin passing attack however as Turner Jr. has only attempted 43 passes this season, connecting on 18 for 286 yards.
 
Calvin Turner Jr. has rushed for 200+ yards three times this season. 202 at Davidson, 202 at San Diego and 201 vs. St. Augustine.
