Ahhh, Dead Season is Almost in the Rearview Mirror

[DKphin]

We get to see how DeVante Parker is running routes. We get to see Jarvis Landry snag a couple one-handers. We get to see how Kiko Alonso is moving around. We get to see Xavien Howard and Tony Lippett battle. Oh yeah, people like Ryan Tannehill, Ndamukong Suh, Cameron Wake, Mario Williams, and like, a bunch of other dudes will be there.

We'll get a glimpse of the new Dolphins culture, how the coaching staff educates and trains their men, and we'll finally have tangible information from which to base our hopes and dreams on this upcoming season. We all want us to win, but how do we get there?
Who falls victim to the injury bug during camp? How do the carries split up in the RB group? Is Tunsil going to lock down the left guard position? Does a dark horse either A) make the team, or B) surprise us by winning a competition to start and/or garner more snaps?
I wish I could tell you that training camp will provide answers - it will, but it won't. For every question we have now, more will surface as we proceed through training camp. What training camp does is start to establish the narrative. Is this a team with a story worth telling?

NFL training camps preview: Looking at questions surrounding each team

Miami

Camp location: Davie, Fla.

Hello: Rookie tackle Laremy Tunsil, who slid from the top of the draft to No. 13 because of character concerns, will look to solidify an offensive line that has yielded an NFL-high 184 sacks since 2012.

Goodbye: In deciding to keep Cameron Wake, the Dolphins let defensive end Olivier Vernon walk out the door. The New York Giants promptly signed Vernon to a five-year deal worth $85 million, the most lucrative in NFL history for an edge rusher.

Big question: Can new Coach Adam Gase turn around a franchise ranked 25th in offense and 26th in defense last season?

The most important thing is we get to see them doing things in pads and against other teams instead of minicamp b.s.. Time to separate the men from the boys.

This last years team had to be one of the worst. Mailed in on all aspects of the game. Hell I'd take the team that went 1-15 over last years team, at least that team showed fire and almost every game came down to the wire.

I still can't believe how much Vernon got lol. I think the Giants are gonna be pretty disappointed. Top edge rusher money of all time????
