Dolphins news: Brewer’s gloves, roster moves, 49ers preview
· Yahoo Sports
The Miami Dolphins are into their final preparations for their Week 2 game against the San Francisco 49ers, but there is still some discussion about the team’s Week 1 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. To be more specific, the talk is about gloves used in the Week 1 game. Miami center Aaron Brewer wore orange gloves as the team faced an opponent wearing black jerseys.
Brewer was flagged for holding during the game, with former NFL center Mark Schlereth, now a FOX broadcaster, placing some of the blame for the penalty on Brewer’s gloves. Schlereth said that if he were a Dolphins coach, he would make Brewer change to black gloves, allowing his hands to blend into the Raiders’ jersey.

South Florida Sun Sentinel reporter David Furones looked into the NFL’s equipment rules and discussed the situation:
League rules limit the colors players can use on certain equipment, like gloves and cleats.
They can only wear white, black or team-colored gloves, so aqua and orange are added to the list for Dolphins players.
For Sunday’s game against the 49ers, Miami already announced it will wear white jerseys. That could mean the 49ers wear scarlet. Those same orange gloves could work for Brewer — with orange not far from the dark red — or just black gloves.
Schlereth, a former Pro Bowl guard, did not agree with the penalty in general, as Brewer was grabbing Raiders defensive tackle Folorunso Fatukasi’s jersey in the chest area.
“For me, that’s one of those situations, an inside grab on the chest plate of the defender, that should never be called holding, ever,” Schlereth said.
“But again, I’d still go get them damn orange gloves off.”
