Panthers ready for visit from Dolphins

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Panthers certainly aren’t easing into the close of training camp at Wofford College. The Miami Dolphins are coming to town for two fully padded practices to wrap camp before the teams’ preseason game at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday night.

"In these next two days the intensity level will be really good," head coach Ron Rivera said. "We’ve got an opportunity to get some really good work.

"It’s eight days between our last preseason game and the one we are about to play, so I think it does come at a good time. We can really work on some things."

The teams will primarily focus on situational football. Players will go live to the ball and they’ll be instructed to square up ball carriers. Rivera said each team will conduct individual drills on separate fields, and they’ll come together for scrimmage periods.

Rivera and Miami head coach Joe Philbin will work out any remaining details when the Dolphins arrive in Spartanburg on Tuesday afternoon.

Here are some items to watch for when the teams take the practice field.

BOILING POINT: Everyone will be keeping a close eye on any post-whistle activity. Fights can be difficult to avoid during joint practices where two teams are measuring themselves against one another. It may be just practice, but pride is on the line during each rep. We’ll see if everyone keeps their cool in the South Carolina heat.

FACING OFF WITH SUH: Dolphins tackle Ndamukong Suh is one of the most dominant defensive linemen in the league. How will second-year guards Andrew Norwell and Trai Turner handle the challenge when they collide with Suh? Rivera is eager to find out, and he hopes Suh gives them all he’s got.

"He’s a dynamic football player, and we know that," Rivera said. "Hopefully he’ll bring it and really challenge our young guys."

Suhs been eating our young guards for lunch, now he's looking for dessert. I hope he's got a backup plan.

More than Suh, I am curious how Wake, Vernon, Fede, and Shelby do. Suh should be double teamed a lot, so this is a good looksee into how the others capitalize on that extra attention.

Vernon, now would be a good time to start playing like the high-priced free agent you expect to be.

Suh will allow everyone to eat....Wake and Jenkins will benefit the most I think
