FOOTBALL IS BACK!!!
Yes it was no pads and helmets only, and yes it was only 3/4 speed, and yes you will probably never see 1/2 those players again... but it’s football baby! Guys running around hitting each other in Dolphins Aqua is a beautiful thing!
I’m not going to write a huge report, mostly b/c nothing much happened and there were so many other good reports. I’ll just hit the highlights:
Both Rick Speilman and Dave Wannstedt spent a lot of time standing alone watching far away from the pack. Dave did get involved some, but not near as much as I remember from past camps.
QB’s: I didn’t think anyone really stood out as great. Feidler looked more comfortable and had a higher completion %. Feeley definitely struggled at times and got picked off on a bad throw intended for Boston. Sage did not have a great day.
#80 Boston – I hate to sound like everyone else, but this guy is huge. He looks more like a TE. Had 3 drops though. The worst one was right in the basket and bobbled out, one would have been a nice catch, but the 3rd hit his hand so hard you could hear the ‘thud’ in the stands. Not a great start.
#81 McMichael – made a few nice catches early
#85 Lee – caught one / dropped one
#25 Howard – had a pick on Feeley that would have been a TD
#64 Chester – noticeably thinner
#95 TimBo – noticeably FATTER!
#51 Pope – Showed good speed
#88 Thopson – had 1 drop but a couple of other nice ones including a great leaping catch on a deep fade
#31 Morris – showed good quickness and looked fluid running after the catch
#91 Williams – really had a good practice. Got pressure/sacks on a couple of reps, and tipped a pass in another
That’s all I remember right now…
I also didn’t see as much as I would have liked b/c I spent a lot of time messing with my new camera that I’m still trying to learn. It’s a digital still cam that also take pretty decent video. Let me know what you think.
