Why isn't Devante Parker being used? Isn't he our 1st round pick? Is he injured? I don't get it.

in time... i bet they are a bit concerned with his foot. No need to rush if they are being careful in this aspect. He is young, he was raw in many aspects out of college, he is working and developing... his time will come!!!
The WR's in front of him are playing well and have developed chemistry with the QB that he lost because of the injury. I mean I think its as simple as that at the moment, who are you going to sit?

Whose he gonna come in for?
He's a rookie, 95% of rookie WRS need time. Don't expect ODB every year.

Campbell basically confirmed what bane said. One of these days I'll have to post a link. Said we will def see him when he's ready...which tells me he's not quite ready to break our solid wr lineup.

Did he play at all yesterday? I'm thinking that after we had such a huge lead, he should have spent the rest of the game in, at least running routes, getting a feel for the NFL etc. Unless of course he is still having foot issues.
Albert is really the lynch pin in our OL. when he is healthy and playing well they are a productive unit...minus Dallas Thomas

Albert-Thomas+sims=better OL
Okay I thought we would have seen a little more when it looked like Stills got a little hurt.
Sims was a big help and I dont remember hearing Alberts name at all yesserday? Which is a good thing.

lol on not hearing Alberts name all game..... but he looked great... i was so happy seeing him looking fit and healthy once again, taking on great aggressive angles, driving people, getting into second level off the initial check off blocks, etc..... he was a huge part to our running game off the left side!!! as wel las time for Tanny!!!
Sims, huge huge factor in the game as well, blocking and the play actions. he is just that difference in what our TEs offer that we needed back.

Good spot. Seeing this o-line get to the second level was almost cry worthy.
Yeah I mean stay with the hot hand for now. Richard Matthews is turning into a beast, Landry ain't coming out, Jennings is our safety valve. I could see them switching him out with Stills. But Stills had a couple good catches. We have to use Texans as the dress rehearsal for Patriots. So the question is, do we lose cohesion by putting him in?
Personally, I say put him in, he has the skills to be better than anyone but Landry. Let's get him up to speed. Imagine Landry and Parker as bookends? I mean lets get to it.

But interim head coach Dan Campbell claims the Dolphins need to see “more consistency” from the former Louisville standout, who was one of six receivers taken in the first round of the 2015 draft.
“We’ve got to get his fundamentals back,” Campbell said. “He is clearly improving, but he just hasn’t quite taken that step yet. He’ll flash, he’ll flash something and you go, ‘OK, my gosh, if we can get that more than one play in a row,’ you start closing the distance.”
By distance Campbell is referring to the fact four receivers – Jarvis Landry, Rishard Matthews, Greg Jennings and Kenny Stills – are presently ahead of Parker on the depth chart.
According to Campbell, receiver happens to be one of the Dolphins' deepest positions, which explains why Parker has only played 83 snaps this season, catching four passes for 49 yards. Eight Dolphins have caught more passes than Parker in the first four games.
“He’s just got to keep working on his fundamentals,” Campbell said. “He’s going to have some opportunities. Once he gets in the game and his production goes up, then his playtime will go up, which will only increase more production.”
