1) Tempo – It was very evident today that players on offense, defense and special teams brought a lot of energy to the field. There was an obvious difference in the speed from the OTA’s to minicamp. The on-field session was still of the non-contact variety but the players were moving with more urgency as they were moving from drill to drill with a sense purpose. It appeared as if the concentration and the execution was at a higher level on Tuesday than it was throughout the OTA sessions that have taken place over the last three weeks.
2) Greg Jennings Is Legit – The Dolphins offense is going to be very explosive in the 2015 season. The amount of different body types and different skill sets that the team has this year at the wide receiver position is a key reason for my optimism about the offense as a whole. The player that stood out today was wide receiver Greg Jennings. You can tell by watching him run routes that he’s a complete professional. He’s crisp coming in and out of his routes and he catches the ball very cleanly. Most importantly, he’s a receiver that is very quarterback friendly. It seems like he always gives you a place to target the football and even if the throw is slightly off, he frames the catch very easily. This skill reminds me of a catcher in baseball that can frame a pitch; making a fastball just off of the plate appear like a strike when maybe it was outside the strike zone. Jennings frames the football very well and keeps it away from the defenders. He is a player that could really make a big impact on the offense. Not only because of his skill set but with his fellow players gaining a lot of attention, Greg Jennings could pick up a lot of very easy throws and take advantage of run after catch opportunities.

Yep- Greg Jennings has been the one new player most excited about, for the reasons you said. This guy is just a quality person in all respects- what an upgrade!
 
This receiver group is one of the best i've ever seen in Miami.
 
Not surprised about Jennings. Watch some Vikings games from 2014; he can definitely still play.
 
Dans face just says "I can still do that sh*t."

The tempo piece is important. They have to take advantage of every instant of practice.

That guy standing in the back watching our QB will make sure that statement has a chance to become true.

Isn't it awesome to finally see the Dolphins bringing in resources to build our team? Having guys like Dan and Don wonder the halls shows respect to our past and belief in excellence in our future.

You cannot build team greatness without having guys around who have been great. Just having Dan on the field makes everyone try a little harder and demand more of themselves.

Ross has answered my number one criticism by bring the past into the future. These untapped resources can only help make us better. Greatness is possible again.
 
Soooo glad we picked up Jennings instead of Crabtree.
