Michael Egnew is lining up out wide A LOT. I think his role is evolving. Chip Kelly's offense uses the TEs to do a lot of things.

Just saw Sam Brenner give Pat Devlin a high snap. If he's going to make the 53 he needs to snap cleanly. Not going to cut it.

Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 28s
Jimmy Wilson is the backup free safety and he's paired with Don Jones, who is apparently Reshad Jones' backup.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 30s
This new WR Stephen Williams is HUGE. He's 6-foot-5 and towering over the other receivers. Armon Binns is the 2nd biggest at 6-3.

It's now Billy Turner, not Dallas Thomas at LG. I bet this rotation is a preview of training camp. One of few true battles on offense.

Cameron Wake plays with a violent nature he clearly can't recreate in practice. Players rarely ever struggle vs him in practice.

Tannehill just hit Jarvis Landry on a quick hitter to the sideline. RAC would have gotten Landry about 20. Nice play.

To @iHeartMiko Brent always practice punt returns, going back to last year. He gets bored easily, as I'm aware you know.

Philbin on Koa Misi potentially playing middle linebacker: "We certainly feel like he's a guy that is capable."

Philbin said Jason Taylor serving as a volunteer coach is something they've been working on for a long time. Not sure how often he'll do it.

TE Charles Clay false start wipes out short pass to Knowshon Moreno. But Moreno looking sharp.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 24s
Michael Egnew is lining up out wide A LOT. I think his role is evolving. Chip Kelly's offense uses the TEs to do a lot of things.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 9s
Just saw Sam Brenner give Pat Devlin a high snap. If he's going to make the 53 he needs to snap cleanly. Not going to cut it.

Nate Garner is getting reps as the backup LT behind Branden Albert. #DolphinsOTAs

Will Davis is Brent Grimes' backup. And Jamar Taylor is Cortland Finnegan's backup.

Another bad snap by Sam Brenner. SMH.

For what it's worth, Lamar Miller is getting first-team reps at RB. That will probably change by Sept. #Dolphins
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 1m
Michael Egnew is getting reps with the starters, paired with Charles Clay.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero · 58s
A lot of double tight end look today -- clay and either Egnew or Sims.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley · 21s
Dallas Thomas is looking spry. Just got to the second level on Ellerbe. Could be a true competition with Turner.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 26s
The Dolphins signed DT Micajah Reynolds, OT Michael Philipp and O-lineman Samuel Longo from rookie tryout last weekend.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley · 18s
Looks like Gibson's workload will be light today. No longer wearing a helmet.
James Walker @JamesWalkerNFL · 48s
I'm liking the multiple formations in Bill Lazor's offense. Last year things became so predictable under Mike Sherman. #DolphinsOTAs
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 58s
The starters are working on the far field and Joe Philbin is watching the backups.

Dion Jordan actually looks like a full-fledged NFL defensive end. He's definitely on upper-body muscle. #DolphinsOTAs

Interesting mix on last 11-on-11 drills. Had 1st team offense vs. 1st team defense except for RB Knowshon Moreno.

#Dolphins WR Armon Binns is practicing without restriction today. Good news for him. He's on the roster bubble.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 15s
Jimmy Wilson remains the starting nickel. No surprise there. Problem is I can't figure out his other roles so far.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 30s
Jason Trusnik is apparently the backup inside linebacker. He's paired with Jelani Jenkins at WLBer and Jonathan Freeny at SLBer.
Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz · 17s
Joe philbin invited jason taylor to observe and assist today (with def line), as pennington did with qbs last offseason
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 28s
Jimmy Wilson is the backup free safety and he's paired with Don Jones, who is apparently Reshad Jones' backup.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 30s
This new WR Stephen Williams is HUGE. He's 6-foot-5 and towering over the other receivers. Armon Binns is the 2nd biggest at 6-3.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 53s
Ryan Tannehill overthrows an open Mike Wallace during 7-on-7. Where have I seen this before?

Ryan Tannehill holds onto the ball too long during 7-on-7, scrambles right and throws a high pass to an open Binns, who drops it.

Cortland Finnegan drops a possible interception on Tannehill. Ball was thrown behind his receiver.

Good OTA practice so far for the #Dolphins. They've had a good mix of team and individual work. I saw some interesting developments.

Not surprisingly, Knowshon Moreno is running with the first team offense.

Starks just plowed over Billy Turner. But that's to be expected this early.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley · 25s
It's now Billy Turner, not Dallas Thomas at LG. I bet this rotation is a preview of training camp. One of few true battles on offense.
Chris Perkins @chrisperk · 42s
DE Cam Wake just blew past G Shelley Smith on inside stunt.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 1m
Cameron Wake plays with a violent nature he clearly can't recreate in practice. Players rarely ever struggle vs him in practice.
James Walker @JamesWalkerNFL · 16s
Now rookie Billy Turner is getting reps at LG with the first team. Dallas Thomas got the first crack at it. #Dolphins
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 12s
Tannehill just hit Jarvis Landry on a quick hitter to the sideline. RAC would have gotten Landry about 20. Nice play.
Chris Perkins @chrisperk · 36s
Wow. Landry just went in motion on four-WR set. Promising. Maybe we'll es that w/Mike Wallace, too.

Got to admit, I'm a little uneasy with Damian Williams. He double catches just about everything, including punts.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 33s
To @iHeartMiko Brent always practice punt returns, going back to last year. He gets bored easily, as I'm aware you know.

Head Coach Joe Philbin is now speaking to the media after the Dolphins' first OTA. Click here to watch: http://www.miamidolphins.com/index-live.html
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 31s
Mike Wallace said he feels more "comfortable now" and points out he's in "more control."
Miami Dolphins @MiamiDolphins · 13s
Philbin on the first OTA: "The players are in good physical condition, and I thought our energy and effort was very good."

"Mike Pouncey wants to be a great football player," Philbin said before pointing out Pouncey is going through an educational process.
Jeff Darlington @JeffDarlington · 34s
Mike Wallace on Miami's new offense under OC Bill Lazor: "Tempo. We'll catch a lot of teams off guard." ...Tannehill says "we play fast."
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 31s
"We're looking for progress on a daily basis with Brandon (Gibson). It is a process, going to take a little time," Philbin said.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 32s
Joe Philbin said yes and yes when asked if Koa Misi's move inside is permanent or an experiment.
Miami Dolphins @MiamiDolphins · 52s
Philbin on Koa Misi potentially playing middle linebacker: "We certainly feel like he's a guy that is capable."
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 50s
Joe Philbin said Koa Misi moving inside is an experiment the Dolphins wanted to look at, but "it is not set in stone."
Jeff Darlington @JeffDarlington · 35s
Philbin says he expects Jason Taylor to be around a lot. "He approached us about helping the d-line." ...Great move by team to have him out.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 27s
Philbin said Jason Taylor serving as a volunteer coach is something they've been working on for a long time. Not sure how often he'll do it.
Jeff Darlington @JeffDarlington · 9s
Jason Taylor's role with Dolphins is voluntary at this point. It's just a day-to-day situation right now -- having him around to help out.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 5s
"One of the big thing we feel is important to our defense is the ability to pressure the quarterback," Philbin said.
Miami Dolphins @MiamiDolphins · 5s
Philbin on the new offense: "We want to see an offense that plays fast with good tempo, takes care of the ball, and is explosive."
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 59s

Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 1m
"John (Benton) is a teacher first and foremost. When you watch the film the fundamentals he teaches shows up on film," Philbin said
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 2m
So what did we learn today folks? Tannehill still looks like avg QB. Dallas Thomas is the starting LG. Only Armon Binns is cleared to work
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 6m
The top performer of Dolphins OTA practice today was.....new starting CB Cortland Finnegan, who intercepted Tannehill. He's not small.
