Alright.....this is just going to be a list of players that did a few good things out in these past camps.....that only deserves....."the further look" status. This list does not include any of the draft picks.
1. S RAY GREEN......was absolutely stellar in each session...had 2 TD INT returns...played well on special team drills, and showed good coverage ability....the DOlphin brass seems to have the pencil almost out, already...as far as him making the team.
2. LB JOSHUA SYMONETTE.....was moved to LB...too small and a step slow for safety. However....has a tremendous motor....and made some plays out there. He looked very good in some of the coverage 1-1 drills. Also a hustler on special teams. He is only 5-10...and under 200 pounds.
3. DE AL WALLACE......showed that he has a quick first step, and can get into the backfield rather quickly. Needs work against the run....but this is a guy who has some talent...
4. DT JAMES ATKINS......interesting player...with a unique background. He held his own out there......but is really, really, a raw, type of project. He is a long shot....but is really giving a good effort.
5. LB JUSTIN SEAVERNS.......showed some good coverage ability....and got some pats on the back from JIM BATES when he dove and made a nice breakup on what appeared to be a sure TD down the middle. Seems to have a good instinct for the position...but is a long-shot.
6. FB....MATT KALAPINSKI This guy is back again...and its because he does a lot of good things for a FB. KALAPINSKI has some good speed for a FB...and has soft hands. He is not a subpar blocker either. Unforunately for him----we are pretty set at FB....but the coaches feel that this kid can play in the NFL...if not here.
7. WR....RONNY DANIELS With the absence of many of the WR's.....2 guys kind of got noticed...real fast.....one was ROBERT BAKER...who seems to have been in DOlphin Camp for the last 10 years.....and this young guy...who has good size....DANIELS. DANIELS showed some good speed down the sidelines....and was very active in the camps. DANiels caught just about everything in reach....from the likes of Mcknown, Levcik, and Kustok....which on many occasions...were not that easy. Just a long-shot who had a good couple of sessions...worth noting.
8. Punter....CASEY ROUSSEL This kid has to literally out-kick and literally out-hold veteran MARK ROYALS to make the team. The Dolphins really believe that this kid can give ROYALS a run to make the final roster. These two punters were right there...neck to neck...as far as their punting and hang times were concerned. This kid is not here for kicks....so to speak.
9. S SCOTT SHIELDS.....who is playing over in EUROPE. He has made some big plays out there....and the DOlphins have a scout out there...watching. They want to bring him into the mix...in late JULY.
10. Qb.....ZAK KUSTOK. Wasn't overly impressive.....but the Dolphins liked the way he saw the field. Kustok has impressed the coaches with the mental side of the game. Does not force the ball....and has taken the lead...at least over LEVCIK so far. Put it this way....CADE McKnown has not distanced himself at all....so far. The third Qb spot is open...and KUSTOK is really getting his head into NORV;s playbook....has impressed by his memory of many formations...where to throw the ball...in these early stages.
Thats my list...for now.
Next camp is in about 2 weeks
Then another list......DCH
