Miami Dolphins training camp weather report: Warm, muggy highs near 90.
Jesse Agler @finsjesse
Final week of open practices for the Fins. Time flies!
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Found it intriguing that Phins OC Mike Sherman said Ryan Tannehill's early mistakes (OTAs) was made due to "over confidence in his ability"
Jesse Agler @finsjesse
Main things I'm looking for at this AM's practice: Dansby and Burnett back? Wallace still with 1's? Should be another interesting day
Ben Volin @BenVolinPBP
#Dolphins back on the practice field at 8 am. Today through Wednesday are last training camp practices open to the public
Jesse Agler @finsjesse
Days like this I hate that our show doesn't start until 5pm haha. So much to say.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Is it a coincidence that Ryan Tannehill is going against the Dolphins first team without Karlos Dansby & Mr. Kevin Burnett? I think not.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Jimmy Johnson is on with WQAM's Joe Rose show right now.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
RT @yeahme2: building his confidence in small steps?» That's exactly what the coaches have done with Tannehill all camp. It's brilliant.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Doesn't fool me, but its convincing Ryan Tannehill and his teammates he can get it done. That's the most important thing. Confidence.
Jesse Agler @finsjesse
Philbin on if Tannehill will get first-team reps vs first-team def in preseason gm "...we're definitely going to try to, sure. Absolutely."
Jesse Agler @finsjesse
Philbin on possibility that Tannehill could start Friday if he has a good week of practice: "I wouldn't rule that out."
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"It surprised me a little bit because of all the things Jason and Zach overcame," Jimmy Johnson told WQAM about their success.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"Zach never took a false step, and we saw that very early in practice," Jimmy Johnson on Zach Thomas with the Joe Rose Show.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"I would have fought not to do that. I wouldn't have wanted that distraction," Jimmy Johnson told WQAM about Hard Knocks.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Jimmy Johnson insinuated to the Joe Rose show Hard Knocks probably forced the Dolphins' hand on cutting Chad @ochocinco.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"The quarterback who makes the fewest mistakes should be your guy. Play the guy who gives you your best chance to win on Sunday,"Jimmy said.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Most rookies take steps backwards.Part of their growing pains. Tannehill hasn't so far. Is this the week, or will he continue going forward?
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
If Ryan Tannehill outperforms Matt Moore in practice this week Friday night's start vs. Carolina is his.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Dolphins legendary linebacker Zach Thomas is on with WQAM's Joe Rose show.
Jesse Agler @finsjesse
I tweeted on FRI night that I'd be "very" surprised if Tannehill started at CAR. Gonna go ahead and change my mind on that one...
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"I got to stop with all the crying stuff. It's out of control now," Zach Thomas told WQAM about how emotional he's been lately.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Miami Dolphins latest roster has 89 names listed after the release of Chad Johnson.
Jesse Agler @finsjesse
Dansby and Burnett in shorts on what looks like a full pads day.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Jeff Ireland and Joe Philbin just had a brief conversation before Monday's walkthrough began, and then Ireland left with a sense of purpose.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Marcus Thigpen isn't working again today. He has a compression sleeve on his left leg.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Karlos Dansby again limited today. Hartline off to the side, per usual.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Dansby standing next to Kevin Burnett, also not in pads with injury.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Tony McDaniel out again today, too.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Dolphins just walked through some nickel defense in the bubble. Now stretching.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Nothing has changed with the cornerback situation. Vontae Davis & Richard Marshall are no longer rotating. Marshall is the starting boundary
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Gary Guyton is now a starter, and sometimes he's working with Jason Trusnik. Sometimes it's Austin Spitler.
Jesse Agler @finsjesse
Moore taking first first-team reps. Expect a fairly even split with Tannehill.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Marlon Moore is the starting receiver who replaces Chad@ochocinco today. Clearly it is a tryout all week.
Jesse Agler @finsjesse
Marlon Moore opposite Naanee with first group to start.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Or maybe Ryan Tannehill, who is with the 2nd team, has been married to Roberto Wallace. They do that too.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Ray Feinga is back at practice and he's working as the 2nd team left guard.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Matt Moore leads first team offense in 11-on-11
Jesse Agler @finsjesse
Matt and Marlon Moore indeed both out there for start of 11-on-11s
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Rishard Matthews is serving as the first team punt returner.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Jason Trusnik and Gary Guyton were the linebackers replacing Burnett and Dansby
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
The team is practicing substitution drills at the end of games to rush special teams units onto the field.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Now the Dolphins are working on special teams. Still in the bubble.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Dan Carpenter just missed a 52-yard field goal.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Dolphins WR Julius Pruitt is limping today.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Tannehill just connected with Jeff Fuller on a really nice play during a drill.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Matt Moore repeated the same play to Legedu Naanee.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Legedu Naanee is such a solid NFL receiver. Don't sleep on him. Has tremendous body control for a big guy.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Just saw Legedu Naanee drop is 3rd pass of training camp.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Gary Guyton just gave Mr. Kevin Burnett and Karlos Dansby a "I wish I were you guys" speech.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Ryan Tannehill is running 7-on-7 with the starting offense.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
The Dolphins will release their depth chart today. The feeling is there won't be a ton of changes. Obviously, QB is the spot to watch.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Just saw the most interesting formation in camp yet. If I shared what it was I'd get whacked. But it is intriguing.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
WR Brian Hartline is not practicing again today. Very bad for the Dolphins.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Matt Moore just connected with Legedu Naanee for a TD in 7-on-7
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
It appears Jeff Fuller is coming back down to earth. More drops the past few days than his first few weeks.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Roberto Wallace just dropped a pass too. Lots of drops today.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Roberto Wallace just dropped a Matt Moore pass, then clapped his hands. He should have caught it.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
B.J. Cunningham (I believe -- his jersey is rolled up) with a drop during 7-on-7s. He's among those with much to prove/gain this week.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Tony McDaniel isn't here today. He's got a thumb issue and injured a knee against Tampa Bay.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
There is no doubt some Dolphins players are upset Chad Johnson was cut. But those same players now know not to mess with Joe Philbin.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
RT @DannyLasOlas: RT @OmarKelly Don't expect any decision on Chad Johnson today.Not expected at the facility today<Oops... » BLOCKED. Oops!
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Reminder. Following me is NOT your right. I'm not interesting in having more followers. Quality> quantity.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Lamar Miller is working as the first team kickoff returner again.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
If fans really knew that NFL teams spend 1/3 of their practices working on special teams they wouldn't overlook the unit.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Lamar Miller, Rishard Matthews and Clyde Gates are the kickoff returners. And it is in that order.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Lamar Miller, Rishard Mathews, Clyde Gates and Steve Slaton all on KO returns.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Marcus Thigpen running sprints sideline to sideline. Has a sleeve on his left knee.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Marcus Thigpen's left knee injury complicates his situation. He was pushing for the 4th tailback spot, & a returner role. Now he's in limbo.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
At least one of these young tailbacks will be put on the practice squad & Marcus Thigpen has shown more than Jerome Messam.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Jimmy Wilson is so strong for a little dude. I wonder how much he bench presses?
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Actually, 612 yds. but I get your point. MT @ntreuheit: [Plaxico's] a great redzone WR and I do believe he had like 900 yds rec. last yr.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Matt Moore is getting lots of work with the ones today. Lots.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Marlon Moore working with 1st team WRs
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
And Richard Marshall is still your starting right corner. Wonder what it will take for Vontae to get his job back.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Matt Moore is handling the first team offense during inside run drill. But Pat Delvin is manning the 3rd team.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Matt Moore with 1st team off vs. 1st team def
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Cameron Collins and Gary Guyton working at linebacker with starters, with Collins on the inside.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Daniel Thomas with a nice run up the middle.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
What's strange is, Vontae doesn't work with the twos, so his reps are way, way down. Only in when the D goes into nickel/dime.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Lamar Miller, the 3rd team tailback, just had a nice run during inside run drill.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Ryan Tannehill now in.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Vs. second team def.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Mostly running play work
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Just watched Kheeston Randall beat Mike Pouncey, penetrating the pocket.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Ryan Baker just blew up a Daniel Thomas run for a loss.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Dolphins fight between Isaako Aaitui and another player
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
We have a fight. Isaako Aaitui vs. someone. Aaitui ended up with Will Yeatman's helmet.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Deep-route from Tannehill goes through Marlon Moore's hands. Slightly overthrown, but still should have been caught.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Marlon Moore just dropped a possible TD pass from Ryan Tannehill.Mildly overthrown. But Moore is dropping the ball, literally & figuratively
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Marlon Moore has two drops this period, though the passes were not bulls eyes
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
If this was Marlon Moore's audition to become the starter than he's falling short of expectation.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Considering Brian Hartline hasn't worked in 3 weeks I'd be surprised if he plays in the final exhibition game.
---- UPDATE 1 -----
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"He's like running into a stone wall when he's up in there," Kevin Coyle said of Koa Misi vs run support.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Kevin Coyle said the growth he's seen from Koa Misi has been night and day.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"We got a lot of young hungry guys who are ready to get it," Cameron Wake on 2nd team defensive players.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Ryan Tannehill isn't ready yet. He had horrible drives during 11-on-11 today. His worst practice in a while.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Matt Moore wasn't much better, but he was at least a bit more efficient. None of the QBs were Garrardesque today.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Kevin Coyle was clearly disappointed in his 1st team defense. He used first exhibition, bad run fits, as an excuse. Then said "no excuses."
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
What has become consistent with Coyle and Philbin is they felt the second team defense wanted it more, played with hunger 1st team needs.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Talking to @PriscoCBS during practice he tells me Lee Evans just can't run anymore. Mike Mularkey loves the guy and still cut him.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Lamar Miller had a TD run during goal line drills. Ryan Mahaffey did a good job as the lead blocker.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Jamaal Westerman flushes Ryan Tannehill out the pocket during goal line.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Ryan Tannehill threw a touchdown pass to Davone Bess during goal line.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
An educated guess: Joe Philbin will open his presser with a statement as to why Chad Johnson was released. And that will be it on the topic.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Had a Daniel Thomas sighting today. He scored a TD during goal line work on an audible call from Matt Moore. Great decision.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Had a Daniel Thomas sighting today. He scored a 5-yard TD during goal line work on an audible call from Matt Moore. Great decision.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Richard Marshall deflected a Matt Moore 4th down pass to Davone Bess during goal line work. Marshall is very strong in close quarters.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Jared Odrick stuffed Reggie Bush in the backfield for loss in goal line.
Jesse Agler @finsjesse
Waiting on Joe Philbin's press conference. First one since Chad Johnson released. Can watch live at
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Chris Hogan caught a touchdown pass from Pat Devlin during goal line.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
We are anticipating Jor Philbin comments regarding the dismissal of Chad Johnson.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Reggie Bush juggled a endzone pass 3 times before finally catching it for a touchdown.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Kevyn Scott sacked Pat Devlin on a blitz.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Joe Philbin reads statement.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
With any type of decision, it was not an easy one.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
It was not due to one specific incident.
Ben Volin @BenVolinPBP
Philbin on Chad Johnson decision: "It was not an easy one ... And not one that was made based on one single incident."
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"It was not an easy one, not reactive, nor was it one single incident," Joe Philbin said about cutting @ochocinco
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Philbin says cutting Johnson not easy one, not reactive, and not based on one incident. Says overall body of evidence is key.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Joe Philbin said he wasn't concerned about the locker room being upset with his decision. "We're going to move forward."
Jeff Darlington @JeffDarlington
Philbin: "It was not reactive nor was it based on one single incident... we take into account overall body of evidence (on and off field)."
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Philbin said the mood of the team was good. Thought he had a good practice.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Joe Philbin dismisses the idea that locker room mood has been negatively impacted by release of Chad Johnson.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"I wish we caught the ball a little better this morning, but there's going to be good competition," Philbin said of the WR.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Philbin said the decision to remove Chad Johnson in regard to making the cut, "it was not about one person flexing their muscle."
Ben Volin @BenVolinPBP
Philbin on Dansby's comments this morning: "I'm of the opinion that things should stay in-house."
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Philbin restates that it was "a body of evidence since June 11th" that led to Johnson cut. Says "in my gut" didn't believe Johnson fit.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Philbin said he didn't think the fit was going to be beneficial to either party.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"It was more a body of evidence from June...in my gut I didn't feel the fit was going to be good for either party," Philbin said.
Jesse Agler @finsjesse
Philbin says they're in "no rush" to name starting QB for Friday.
Miami Dolphins @MiamiDolphins
"If it looks even, production's even, you have to go with a gut feeling," Philbin said on QB competition.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Philbin on Brian Hartline: I know he's itching to get going.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"Catch the ball consistently, get separation. Catch the ball consistently," Philbin said about the receivers who need to step up.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
When I asked Philbin if the team now has enough talent at WR to win he said "sure," then followed it up with "absolutely."
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Philbin on the quarterback position: We're goons start the guy Sept. 9 that gives the Miami Dolphins a chance to win.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Philbin says the Dolphins will start the QB on Sept. 9 that gives team best chance to win THAT game. Not the future. Not the past.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Philbin said he talked to the team about Chad Johnson on Sunday.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Philbin again said this fit did not feel it was going to be right between the Dolphins and Chad Johnson.
Ben Volin @BenVolinPBP
Philbin very patiently answered questions about Chad Johnson after saying he wouldn't do so. Handled himself well
