First of all, let me say this is my first post on any message board before, but I've been coming here for a long time I just never posted (I'm one of those ppl TerryTate was talking about :) ). I really repect all you guys on here, as you have some of the most knowledgable and intelligent posters on any board. That said, I'll try to be as detailed as possible since I know we're all dying for fresh Dolphins news.
As far as who stood out at camp, the person I was most impressed with was Wade Smith. Added a lot of upper body mass (all muscle), while still maintaing his speed and agility which will make him a great player. The guy actually looked faster and more explosive, so I expect a much improved LT for the season. Carey also looked more chiseled, but the man is very intense and gets great push from his stance, I was impressed with him as well. Tony Pape is also huge, although alot of it is fat and he's not too well conditioned. The big dissappointment was Rex Hadnot, man was huffing and puffing and looked out of shape and lazy (was last in drills, sprints etc.) Larry Chester's offseason program looks like its paid off, as he has more muscle and he was doing all the drills with no problem, so it looks like the weight he lost will help his conditioning and overall stamina. He and T-Bow were the 2 biggest guys on the field, followed by Carey, D-Mac and Pape. D-Mac was in a cast so he was just standing around. David Boston also looks like a man among boys, man is JACKED! He looked very smooth and crisp in his routes and running, so he may have found the perfect mix between size and speed. Surtain was also looking real good, no knee problems I could see and he was first in all the drills, and made sharp turns and had no problems at all. Anyways, on to the drills.
Started out with offense vs offense and a few running plays, Smith and Carey were really driving their guys back. Ricky looked sharp and very quick, although the lack of dreads were pretty shocking. Minor also looked real real quick, boy was a blur darting in and out. Then Fiedler took some snaps and passed a couple times to Ricky and Konrad, he threw some real floating passes, one of them I swear to god was in the air for 10 seconds. He also made them reach and overthrew and was real erratic. Then Feeley stepped in and threw some darts, man this kid got some zip! He was hitting everyone in stride, right on the money, with a great deal more velocity than Fiedler. Then he stepped back and delivered the play of the day, a 50 yard bomb to Minnis that was absolutely gorgeous to watch. Minnis caught it in stride, he didn't have to adjust, and it drew a few whistles from the stands. I really liked what I saw from Feely, anyone who said his arm strength is comparable to Fiedlers is crazy, his arm is much better and more importantly, his accuracy is leagues better than Fee-Fee. Then they did some stretching with elastic bands, and towards the end they started flinging them at each other and one hit Wanny! LOL it was hilarious, he tried to restore order but no one was listening, he was like,"Guys...ummm...guys..lets get back...uhh" lol that was the highlight of my day. Anyway they did a few more drills then I had to leave, but overall I'm pretty pumped by what I see. I'll be going to all the practices, so if you guys want me to watch a player or anything, feel free to ask and hope you liked the write-up!
