Dolphins are closing practice to the public today due to rain.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
RT @quay85: does the offense look more exciting this year?» Absolutely. It's a 2-minute drill all day. Needs an accurate smart QB.#XOmar
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
RT @Papoelgrande: would you say the fins offense would be somewhat like the patriots?» No, looks more like New Orleans.#XOmar
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Brian Hartline is currently not at Dolphins practice. He is neither on the field nor on the sidelines.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
David Garrard working with the 1s during the walk through
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Back to Fins camp. No change in starting offensive line after scrimmage.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Nate Garner working at RG with second team instead of John Jerry.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Jerry is here and dressed, FYI.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Also apparently absent is Ray Feinga
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
The Dolphins are in pads, which means we should see some action.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
I'm so disappointed that Matt Moore shaved his mustache.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
John Jerry was working with the scout defense.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Ray Feinga and Brian Hartline the only two not accounted for. Clyde Gates in pads.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Vontae Davis playing with 1s in base 4-3
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Artis Hicks and Jonathan Martin are the starting right side for week two.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Starting defensive backfield to start practice: V Davis, S Smith, C Clemons and Reshad Jones.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Vontae Davis continues to serve as the starting CB in the base package.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Richard Marshall takes the second snap with the 1s in place of Davis.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Chris Clemons seems to be settling in as the starting safety paired with Reshad Jones. Hasn't really been a competition so far.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Jimmy Wilson is used as the third safety in the quarters package. Makes sense since he played cornerback last season.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Jorvorskie Lane is the first-team fullback today.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Source tells me there is a chance Brian Hartline will be able to practice this week but there is uncertainty because it is truly day to day.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
In red zone to start. Garrard and Tannehill get work with 1s, Moore w 2s.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Legedu Naanee is BY FAR the best blocking receiver the Dolphins have. Gonna be hard for anyone to beat him out for a starting spot.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
LT L. Murtha, LG E. Steinbach, C. J. Samuda, RG N. Garner, RT A. McDonald - 2ND TEAM LINE
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Coaches just caught Chad @ochocinco trying to sneak in a rep on kickoff coverage unit.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Demoted right guard John Jerry is demoted again. He is working with the third team offense.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Most people don't realize this but the final two spots on the 53 for receiver will be won on SPECIAL TEAMS.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Roberto Wallace and Julius Pruitt are amongst the best coverage guys on special teams.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Josh Samuda is working as the back center today. That's telling since Ryan Cook's spot is in danger.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Joe Philbin is watching the running backs and fullbacks work on their blocking vs. Linebacker blitzes. That's critical to protection.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Vontae Davis again working with 1s in 4-3 walk through
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
A lot of smiles between Vontae Davis, Richard Marshall, Sean Smith and Reshad Jones. Just an observation.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
It appears Clyde Gates is practicing. Stay tuned to see how long that lasts.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Tony McDaniel with wrap on his right thumb, and hand. He wore a club during Saturday's scrimmage.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Gates is padding up. Looks like it's full-go for him today.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Rishard Matthews has a compression sleeve on his right leg. That explains why I've barely seen him work.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Richard Marshall is the nickel and Vontae Davis is the starting CB.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Chad Johnson beats Sean Smith downfield (a little holding) during 7-on-7 and can't bring in a diving pass. "Come on 85" Garrard says.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
I'm excited to see Marcus Thigpen work on kickoffs. He's the frontrunner to be the next Philip Livas, Chris Williams
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Clyde Gates looks like he's about 70% right now, but he needs to work since he's on the bubble.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
David Garrard has a compression sleeve on his left leg.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Steve Slaton and Jerome Messam also with compression sleeves on their left legs.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Julius Pruitt will serve as Davone Bess' backup as the slot receiver. That's his role, & I believe Chris Hogan is behind him.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Reggie Bush just fumbled a hand off for no good reason.
Ben Volin @BenVolinPBP
Vontae Davis is taking more reps with Sean Smith in the base defense today, but Richard Marshall is getting his share, too
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Practice's first real fight was Jacquies Smith and Richie Incognito. Smith wanted some Incognito.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Jaquis Smith just fought with Jake Long, which caused a team scrum. Richie Incognito laughed as the teams broke up and returned to practice.
Ben Volin @BenVolinPBP
Little skirmish breaks out between Incognito and DE Jacquies Smith, with Jake Long and a whole bunch of guys caught up in the tussle
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
First full fight of camp. Jacquies Smith and Richie Incognito square off, then Smith starts throwing blows. Long involved in scrum.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Chad @ochocinco just tap danced his way out of a Trenton Hughes tackle during 1-on-1. His feet are awesome. Such control.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Things are getting physical. Mr. Kevin Burnett lost his helmet.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Daniel Thomas just fumbled a short pass from Matt Moore.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Dolphins have had at least three fumbles today. Philbin yelled about it earlier.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Matt Moore just connected with Davone Bess on a very tough pass that gets him out of trouble, backed up in endzone.
Ben Volin @BenVolinPBP
On a third down play inside his own 5, Moore threads a beautiful 25 yard post to Bess between two defenders. Was vs the 1st team defense
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Steve Slaton just made a nice cut back run that gained him 8-yards. Jimmy Wilson on the hit, & it was big.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Vontae Davis in with the 1s in base 4-3.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Reggie Bush just made a nice cut back run left, converting a third down in the 4-minute (kill the clock drill).
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Daniel Thomas just pounded out a respectable run against the second team defense.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
The offensive line is owning the defensive line today. I'm honestly shocked.

Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Brian Hartlne and Jonas Gray entered the bubble toward the end of practice.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
The Dolphins defense got OWNED by the offense today. Every play in goal line was a TD. Too many to count.
---- UPDATE 1 ----
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
David Garrard threw 2 TDs. Matt Moore threw 3 TDs. Ryan Tannehill threw one TD to Marlon Moore in his lone snap.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Offensive coordinator Mike Sherman says the quarterback position will not be a weakness for the Dolphins this year.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Defensive players and Coordinator Kevin Coyle are doing gasers again.
Ben Volin @BenVolinPBP
Mike Sherman said Legedu Naanee has been "very, very impressive" during camp and called him an "outstanding" special teams player, too
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Mike Sherman said Lamar Miller is dancing too much in the hole but he's excited about his prospects. "A very explosive player"
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
All three quarterbacks are staying after practice to throw passes.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"He's a great football mind and puts guys in position to make plays," Cameron Wake said of Kevin Coyle.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"This is a man's game. Everyone has high standards and wants to compete," Cameron Wake said.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"I always think they are big, slow, dumb guys, but he seems to break the mold," Cameron Wake said of Jonathan Martin.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Cameron Wake said the rookies have "pretty fingernails" now.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
The Dolphins will release their first preseason depth chart in the next few minutes.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Practice has been over for 20 minutes and Reggie Bush is still pushing a sled. Last man left. Every day.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
I expect David Garrard will be the first string quarterback when that depth chart is released.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Reggie Bush has a respectable run, producing a first down, during 11-on-11.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Jeff Fuller dropped a David Garrard pass.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Richard Marshall deflected a Ryan Tannehill pass at the line of scrimmage.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Marcus Thigpen makes a nice catch for chunk yards over the middle of the field. He does that just about every day. He's warming up.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Vontae Davis breaks up a pass to Legedu Naanee during 11-on-11.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Sean Smith continued a dominant day. He broke up a pass to@ochocinco. 85 says " F-U" and Smith just laughs.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
David Garrard hits Legedu Naanee for a 30-yard pass on a drag route. Great drop into a zone.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Vontae Davis and Richard Marshall each intercepted David Garrard during the team's goal line period.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
David Garrard's goal line touchdown passes were to Steve Slaton and Roberto Wallace.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
TE Jeron Mastrud catches a TD pass from Matt Moore during goal line work and the offensive players yell "moooooo."
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
After Matt Moore threw a TD pass to Charles Clay during goal line work Karlos Dansby starts yelling at 2nd team D. "Ya'll gotta communicate"
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
After Dansby's tongue lashing Charles Clay caught another TD pass from Matt Moore. Dansby gets even louder.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Marlon Moore caught a goal line TD from Ryan Tannehill for the final play of practice. It was his first and only pass of the drill.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Sean Smith has really been dominant this camp. I'd like to see him work against Legedu Naanee more. He'll force him to be physical.#XOmar
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
The intensity of today's Dolphins practice was probably the best I've seen since camp opened. Defense got beat up, but still made plays.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Garrard no 1 qb in first depth chart
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
On the Dolphins' depth chart Richard Marshall and NOT Vontae Davis is listed as the starter. On field today it was reversed.

Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
As I gathered from earlier in practice, John Jerry is third-string and in serious trouble.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Least known player on Dolphins first team? FB Jorvorskie Lane.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Joe Philbin said depth chart is formed based on a little f everything.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
No final decisions have been made.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"In no way shape or form has decisions been finalized," Joe Philbin said of the depth chart.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Coach Joe Philbin says there's a lot ot time between now and opener so things can change. "It's a starting point."
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Philbin on Vontae Davis: He's practicing well, but there's good competition there.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"I think he's actually practiced well the past couple of days. He's doing well, but there is competition there," Philbin said about VD.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Philbin told the quarterbacks yesterday about the depth chart.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Philbin on QBs: "I'm confident we'll get good QB play out of that group ... I couldn't be happier about the 4 men in that room."
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
David Garrard is listed as the starting QB. Surprise, surprise. "It's the starting point, a fluid situation," Philbin said.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Philbin said "not necessarily" when asked if David Garrard was starting Friday's exhibition game vs. Tampa Bay.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Olivier Vernon is listed as a second-team RE behind Cameron Wake.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"Consistency in sustaining blocks," Philbin said when asked about what John Jerry isn't doing right.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
First-team rookies include FB Jorvorski Lane and RT Jonathan Martin.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Philbin says John Jerry needs to improve staying on his feet and identifying guys he's going to block on stunts. That is not good for Jerry.
Ben Volin @BenVolinPBP
Dolphins undrafted rookies listed as primary backups: C Josh Samuda, OT Andrew McDonald, DE Derrick Shelby, who is listed ahead of Westerman
zzy Gould @IzzyGould
Chris Clemons and Reshad Jones listed as starting safeties ahead of Jimmy Wilson and Tyrone Culver.

Joe Philbin said Ray Feinga's absence was excused.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Ray Feigna had an excused absence, Joe Philbin said. He is listed as a third-team LT.
Ben Volin @BenVolinPBP
Philbin declines to expand on his statement from last night offering condolences to Andy Reid and family. Tough subject for Philbin
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"Depends when he can practice," Philbin said when asked about comfort level on evaluating @BrianHartline.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Philbin says starters get maybe the first quarter or 15 plays in preseason 1. But it 's individual: Martin may play more than Long.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Jorvorskie Lane, Ryan Mahaffey, Jerome Messam are the fullbacks in order.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Also, if the offense doesn't move the ball, it may go longer. If they move, one series may be good.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
"Our third down defense looked very good against the offense," Philbin said.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
FYI: Nate Garner took John Jerry's job as the 2nd team RG. Garner better suited to play guard than tackle, IMO.
