ESPN Insider Camp Report

Says Gordon has looked good. Also.....

There's all kinds of speculation the Dolphins will trade Williams once he gets into shape and they showcase him in the preseason games. The bet here is the Dolphins will get more inquiries (possibly from Jacksonville) about Gordon.

This is incouraging.....

This is not the most talented team around. But in the first couple days, it was anything but a sloppy team, that's for sure. There were not the kind of false-start and short-attention span penalties you typically expect from a bad team. Not a lot of botched plays or turnovers. Make no mistake, as we indicated in June, the guy can coach. And coach he does. Saban spends oodles of time working with the secondary, his old area of expertise, and he's not just a passive observer. He is hands-on all the way.

I wonder what Jacksonville would give up for Gordon.
 
About the QB position battle....

The alleged quarterback "competition" between journeyman Gus Frerotte and A.J. Feeley is a sham. (Actually, it's a shame, too, that this is the best the Dolphins can do at the position, but so be it.) It makes for good copy, and manufactures an interest level, but it will be a monumental upset if Frerotte isn't the opening day starter.

Not much about the O-line just.....

About that $800,000 per year that Saban is reportedly paying offensive line coach Hudson Houck? The investment was worth every cent. Houck suggested in June that he is not a miracle worker. And maybe he isn't. But he's doing a damned fine imitation.

And.....

There remains plenty of work to be done, and we'd be lying if we tried to pretend there weren't some rough spots during the practices we saw, but Houck is again well into the process of transforming a pile of chicken feathers into something approximating chicken salad.

I like that hes working well with our secondary. It shows that he plans to coach our guys, rather then buy them.

Why would it be an upset? Yeah, Gus knows the system but he's old and if he starts then he isn't the long-term solution at QB. Feeley on the other hand, if he can start he could be our QB for years to come if he has what it takes. I see Gus starting against the Broncos, but I really hope it's Feeley.

All the Feeley supporters will hate that, but unfortunately I think Frerotte winning the job is inevitable (short of injury).

Probably a cond. 5th. They only wanted to give a 4th for Travis Henry, and he is a proven 1,000 yard back. I would say a 5th that might turn into a 4th or 3rd with certain markers.

I agree, and I also think that we need a vet QB for the next 3 seasons, so AJ would be perfect if he can be OK. We play this season with AJ, and then draft a QB with our #1 next year. Give him a year or two to learn, and then put him in.
