-- Good linebacker blitz pickup from
Damian Williams on a respectable downfield pass to
Kevin Cone from
Tannehill.
-- I believe defense has 9 INTs last two days. Think it was 4 INTs yesterday and 5 INTs today.
--
Marcus Thigpen with a great reception for nearly 30. I have no idea why people think he's in trouble. He's a playmaker!
-- Not to beat up Tanehill, but again, he's had good protection all day. Just bad passes last two days.
-- Ryan Tannehill's first throw of the final 11-on-11 session is picked off by
Cortland Finnegan. That's Finnegan's third INT today.
--
Brent Grimes with an interception of
Tannehill during 7-on-7s.
-- Just watched
Samson Satele struggle vs Kamal Johnson during 1-on-1s. That's not a good thing.
-- If Samson Satele can't block Kamal Johnson then he can't block AJ Francis. Can't block Francis then he has no chance vs
Randy Starks.
--
Mike Pouncey isn't visible at practice today. I'm sensing a medical recheck with his doctors. Pouncey wants to be cleared to practice.
-- Watching Caleb Sturgis kick and he looks fine. Might have lost some distance due to his groin injury.
-- Team is practicing multiple hook-and-lateral plays.
-- Why is Anthony Johnson being used as a DE?
Branden Albert needs a challenge.
-- Charles Clay continues to sit out practice with knee soreness and it is giving Dion Sims and Arthur Lynch a chance to showcase themselves.
--
Jared Odrick forces
Ryan Tannehill to throw the ball away by collapsing the pocket vs the 2nd team O-line.
-- Ryan Tannehill with a 25 yard pass to
Marcus Thigpen, who is a dangerous slot receiver.
-- Second-team offense again led by QB
Matt Moore...maybe he plays a lot Friday night in preseason opener at Atlanta.
-- Billy Turner is athletically the best RG option. Problem is his technique is off.
-- Anthony Johnson blows up a run in the backfield.
-- Ryan Tannehill gained about 30 yards on a read option before any defender is even close to him. He's athletic in this offense.
-- Speaking of offensive diversity, keep an eye out for an unbalanced OL...seen that a couple of times in camp.
-- Billy Turner is the backup RG. Looks like they won't be moving him around. Obviously the goal is to have him contend for a starting spot.
--
Shelley Smith is a lot better at run blocking than he is at pass blocking. He's the 2nd team left guard.
-- The only guy who ever moves
Randy Starks out his spot is
Daryn Colledge. Everyone else isn't in his league.
--
Samson Satele is the starting center and Dallas Thomas is the starting right guard today.
--
Cortland Finnegan has 4 interceptions in five practices.
-- With
Daniel Thomas sidelined this is the time for Damien Williams and Mike Gillislee to make a push to secure their spot on the 53-man roster.
--
Brian Hartline is practicing today. He's had the last two sessions off.
-- Matt Moore is taking 2nd team reps today but he's turned into checkdown Chad. Shoulder soreness kind of limiting him it seems.
-- Ryan Tannehill's very first snap of practice turns into a Cortland Finnegan pick during 11-on-11. That's now 4 INTs last 3 days.
-- Nate Garner is practicing, but he has his left forearm in a brace.
