FH,

My old man and I represent two generations that bleed Aqua and Orange.

Him and I have hit a number of Fins bucket list moments through the years. Marino's jersey retirement game in the rain against Baltimore, Marino HOF induction, and so on.

One trip we always talked about was heading south to attend training camp and get a fresh look at the squad ourselves.

My pops has been stubborn, not convinced that the rosters we have boasted in recent years past were even worthy of an up close look, haha.

Well times of change are afoot and we are going this week! Super stoked.

I'm planning a ledger or play by play if you will of all 11 on 11 and redzone work to post for all to enjoy.

I'm going to do my best to provide for in depth info like position groupings, formations and how quickly Tua moves through his progressions. Attempting to be a little more substantive then the tweets we are all at the mercy of.

And yes, my insights will be far more insightful and objective than Omar's....

Not saying much, anyways...

It's tough to watch everything all at once so I'm prioritizing a hit list so to speak of my top players to individually report on.

On D I'm planning to be highly focused on Iggy, Holland, Trill, Coleman, Phillips (if healthy), Sieler, Ledbetter, Butler.

On O outside of the obvious, Oline is getting heavy scrutiny across the board (especially Dieter), Scarlett and Doaks, and of course Waddle and Long.

On Specials, apparently Palardy is kicking the stuffing out of the ball. I will confirm. Sanders is money, no evaluation needed.

Tuesday is also the first padded practice which it will be sick to see the dynamic of how things change from Monday in shells to live bullets.

To get the FH fam involved I wanted to give you some skin in the game. Make me a case for an individual player that perhaps needs a close look that I should be adding into the mix here.

I have tried to mix up the reasons, players I just like, guys we will be counting on that are new or unproven, and guys who could surprise.

I will try to have the complete write up by mid week.

Hit me....
 
Bro, I also attended Marino's retirement game. I saw grown men tearing up around me that night.
The Tropical Storm that night was relentless. The bad weather suddenly stopped during the Halftime Jersey ceremony, it was a night I will never Forget.
This was also the last game me and my Dad attended together, who recently passed. I also ended up very sick with Walking Pneumonia a few days later, but it was all worth it to me.

Enjoy your time with your Dad. Your post reminded me, of my father and I. We shared lots of memorable Miami Dolphins moments together. Those were some of the best times of my life. So enjoy Brother!!!

As for Individual players I'd love for you to scope out; 1) Ledbetter 2) Iggy 3) Eichenberg 4) Holland and lastly Micheal Deiter. Again enjoy your time at camp. And thanks for posting.

That's amazing man.

It was my first regular season home game.

Think I was 10. But still remember Lamar Smith running like a mad man.

I also remember the fog effect at half after all the fireworks. When the rain stopped and that fog hung you could barely see the field for a stretch.
 
I Remember we Beat the vaunted Ravens, soon to be World Champion Ravens. That Defense of theirs was Nasty, but there Offense was very Pathetic especially early in the Season when we beat them.

Jay Fielder was our QB that game 😂. I was already 35 at that time.

I had only been to 2 other home Dolphins games up until then, 1993 AFC Championship game against Buffalo and a Monday Night game in 1995 against the Steelers.

Zach Thomas was a one man wrecking crew out there, my Dad said if we had 11 Zach Thomas, we would be totally unstoppable👍

The 1995 game against Steelers was the last time I ever Saw Shula and Marino together, we Soundly beat the Steelers that night, Dan got laid out that night by Greg Lloyd , the Crowd went completely silent until Dan got up, then we went on to put an ass whipping on the Steelers 😂
