• For those wondering about unsigned cornerbacks Leon Hall and Antonio Cromartie, the Dolphins aren’t pursuing either at this time. But both are on the Dolphins’ list should they have injuries or if their young corners don’t develop as the Dolphins hope and expect.

So far, the Dolphins are pleased with their young corners, with Xavien Howard and Tony Lippett competing to start opposite Byron Maxwell and Bobby McCain the front-runner in the slot.

• A few Dolphins stadium notes: Vice president/stadium renovation Bill Senn said about five percent of seats won’t be covered by the canopy, including seven rows behind the end zones. This will be the only NFL stadium with a non-retractable canopy covering seats… Team CEO Tom Garfinkel says the stadium will “definitely be louder” because “crowd noise will stay in better.”…

Let's hope these coaches know what they are seeing....

I feel it's a lot like the OL situation last year, they thought we would be Ok. I understand it's different coaches but still a little concerning, maybe I'm overreacting a little.
 
It's hard not to overreact. Part of me would love to see a veteran like Hall, but I think this team is at the point where it needs to see what the young players can do.

Always the outside chance this is a negotiation tactic. Trying for a lower price. Personally, I think Miami won't sign anyone else unless it's a RB, but we'll see.
 
cool little quip on stadium noise. lord knows it can't get any worse than the hot, open, desert-like feel the stadium had prior.
 
Maybe I'm alone but I'm quite excited to see what Lippett has in camp and I expect to see a much improved player capable of manning the number two spot.

Agree, I think we're done with the signings baring any injuries, I would like to sign another RB also and thought they would originally, but what they have could be what we go with...
 
Hope were not waiting for an injury or a players lack of development. What happens when the other teams in the league are faced with the same problem.will we loose out??
 
Looks like Cromartie is done.. Hall would be a nice option.

Nothing wrong with a stadium like the OB where the noise reverberates loudly. I'm all for that.
 
I just don't know. I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst.

Hopefully those two things meet in the middle somewhere. It's all on the coaches at this point.

I wouldn't rule out signing a vet, but maybe later in the year when more are cut. Hall is the top option at this point imo
 
I'd watch Ifo Ekpre-Olomu. If he's healthy and playing well, Miami doesn't have a lot of room for a vet - as much as I'd love to see Miami sign Hall. If he's slowed by injuries or ineffective, Hall looks like a great option. The staff should be optimistic about McCain in the slot.
 
Going into the season with what we have currently makes me nervous. Rome wasn't built in a day. But we should put more effort into shoring up our CB position.

I used to be more optimistic about our CB situation, but lately, it seems more and more like we're content with it. I'd rather us hurry and pull the trigger one hall or cromartie
 
Does it mean anything that our defensive coordinator is not in a rush to sign Hall?
