Fake punting and throwing bombs on every 4th down also work in Madden.

We'll see, but at Davie they don't allow you to text or take notes. You can thank the idiots who filmed Dolphin practices last year an aired it on youtube.

Dolphins began doing the scrimmage by the whole team stretching, only two players on the sidelines where Jonas Gray & Brian Hartline. Hartline seems very bothered by his injury. He is wearing a compression sleeve on his left leg & can't even stretch with the team.

Dolphins proceeded to individual drills. The only thing that stood out here was BJ Cunningham dropping another pass with absolutely no one covering him.

Great post! Thank's. Tannehill looking good, we might have are quarterback of the future. Did the safety's look good?
7on7 Drills:

Moore gets the first crack. Moore intends a pass to Ochocinco which got tipped & almost intercepted.

Garrard took the next turn, he complete passes to Moore & Egnew. Garrard overthrows Pruitt who had his defender beat & looks real fast.

Tannehill's turn, throws nice a pass to Moore who drops it, comes back with a nice sideline pass to Naanee


1st team Oline: Long, Incognito, Pouncey, Hicks, Martin

2nd team Oline: Murtha, Steinbach, Samuda, Jerry, McDonald


11on11 Drills:

Garrard in with the starting Offense in 11 on 11 drills, he rolls out & completes a pass to Bess.

HB Draw, Bush gains 5 yards

Martin allows pressure & Garrard's pass is batted at the line, very next play a false start

Garrard finds Naanee down the middle passes & Naanee wrestles the ball away from Nolan Carroll (PLAY OF THE DAY)

Thomas with a nice gain for a 1st, running hard

Thomas running hard & moving the pile another nice gain

Steve Slaton in with 1st unit

Chad drops a TD pass by Garrard on 3rd & GOAL, Carpenter hits the FG.

Miller with a nice kick return

Moore in with second team Offense going up against 1st team D, hands off to Miller for a short gain

Moore lobs a pass to the sidelines incomplete, 2nd down throws a bad pass to Clay incomplete. That it for Moore & the second unit

Marcus Thigpen seeing time at PR

Moore is back out with the second unit, Moore batted at the line. Next pass to Egnew who got lit up but manages to stay up & fights for extra yards after getting hit big time. Dansby on the hit.

Moore sacked

Moore comes out for his 3rd series with the second unit, 1st pass incomplete, 2nd pass screen pass to Thigpen, throws it away. 3 & out

Tannehill rolls out & completes a pass to Clay.

Tannehill is running a no huddle & is calling audibles at the line, completes a screen pass to Bess for good yardage. No huddle finds Bess in the slot & completes another pass for a 1st down.

Tannehill rolls out to the right, looks down field & finds Fasano open for TD. Crowd Goes Wild!!!

Goal Line:

Moore in with the second team Offense against the first team Defense, 3 & out.

Garrard completes a sideline pass to Ocho, rolls out to the left complete to Naanee, Culver bats a pass intended for Naanee in the endzone, Carpenter connects with a FG.

Tannehill looks down field throws to Fuller who draws double coverage incomplete almost intercepted, Next play he completes a screen pass, Next play sacked. Carpenter misses the FG attempt.

Moore who has seen a ton of reps today is finally in with the 1s. After two handoffs, Matt Moore completes a TD pass to Fasano. Fasano looking the best out of all the TE's today.

Marcus Thigpen fumbles a punt

Two-Minute Offense:

First team vs First team Moore goes 4-10, had a nice throw to Chad who made a nice catch in traffic but other than Chad catch in traffic, nothing spectacular.

Second team vs Second team Garrard 1-5, 0 points. too many check downs by Garrard.

Camp Notes:

Tony McDaniel has a hard cast on his right hand

Murtha who apparently was seen spotting a limp yesterday looks perfectly fine today, no sign of a limp.

Samuda saw a ton of work at today's scrimmage. First with the second team where he has completely replaced veteran Ryan Cook, then at RG with the 3rd team. If there was a player on the field at almost all times it was Josh Samuda.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Nate Garner is now a 3rd team LG & Ryan Cook is the 3rd team C.

There is absolutely no doubt Tannehill was the most impressive QB today. He was calling audibles at the line, ran a no huddle & kept his eyes down field. Tannehill looked real good.

Garrard moves the chains, but he is very Pennington-like and enjoys checking down way too much.

Moore did not look good, in fact it was darn right ugly. He throws to many incomplete passes, his throws are inaccurate, would be sacks, he really struggled today.

In this exact order Naanee, Bess & Ocho were the best WRs today. Chris Hogan really stands out. Did not notice Wallace or Pruitt

Fasano had a big day clearly the best TE on the field, expecting him to have a big year in this O.

Pouncey had some high snaps, he better get this out of his system before the season.

Tannehill's roll out for a TD would have won Play of Day, but the reports are no lie, Naanee looks like a beast out there & him wrestling Carroll in mid air for a catch was incredible.

Dolphins first team D looks intimidating as hell especially in the middle. Big Nasties! Props to the 2nd team Oline for having to go up against those guys.

Chris Hogan really stands out. He is a big strong WR, caught everything & stayed last on the field with Ryan & Bush. Shows kid wants it.

Hit of the Day: S Anderson Russell lit up Marcus Thigpen today.

Where are the sacks coming from pressure, coverage, or missed blocks?
 
Curious are we also running no huddle to get our D in shape? LOL - or is this our base our O either way our D they stunk it up the first 6 games last year

Base, it is no secret Fins eventually want to run something similar to what the Oregon Ducks do. They really are striving to have a fast base attacking Offense, I believe the best two QBs who give them a chance at that cause of their athletic abilities is Garrard & Tannehill.

maybe being straddled with the SECOND TEAM offense agaisnt the FIRST TEAM defense played a part?

every one is so set in stone about who is this and who is that. no one takes in account of who was working on what plays, what teams they were playing with and against, etc...... the coaches are trying different things with different players all camp.

it appears the staff wanted to see how the second team offense would look agaisnt the #1 defense and moore was the guy chosen to run it.

the last practice gerrard was down and moore looked good. not a lot of fan fare for that though.

look, we all know that tannehill was drafted high and he IS the future. he is not going to be behind moore or gerrard for long and moores developement is going to be squarely on his shoulders as tannehill is the one who is getting "developed".

gerrard ceiling has been topped years ago and theres no upside for him. he is a journeyman and thats all. he has 8 years in the nfl with many years starting and full camps. moore has played around 26 games. had NO full camp anywhere untill this year so at least he has upside and MUCH room for growth. to bad he once again wont get his full chance here either. guy need a rabbits foot in the worst way.

moore or not, it will be a sad day and a set back should gerrard be the starter on opening day or through the season as he has been on teams LOADED with pro bowl talent on both sides of the ball and did nothing of importance. doubt he takes a young squad with little talent [at present] and a new offensive scheme anywhere.

i know there is a LOT of gerrard over moore sentiment here, but, as the old saying goes, BE CAREFUL of what you wish for!!!

no need to try and defend moore dude. We all knew what we had in him going into this training camp. he will have that 1 amazing game for u and than stink it up for the next few, hes a decent qb with a lil better accuracy than henne but not a starter in this league. Its starting to show just how much better tannenhill is off the 3 qbs.
