Practice tweets 8/18

Matt Moore's a gamer. He's never been a very good practice player.

Tannehill seems to be really in sync in the offense now. He's definitely getting the ball out quicker than last year.

That is exactly what I am getting out of that, not so much that Moore has completed so few, but that Tannehill continues to be EXTREMELY sharp, and completing everything.

If the time comes, and Moore is needed, he will like always be ready.

Might want to change the thread title to today's date. I think people are missing it, thinking there was a practice yesterday.

#Dolphins o-linemen work on their drive blocking. That's an area the team must improve.

Good to see, that this year they come right back to practice, working on what didnt work in the game..

Thanks, for some reason I have been a day behind the last few days. :crazy:

Great news that Shelley Smith is in for Thomas.

BTW, here's something for you: The coaches have seen Shelley Smith against Gerald McCoy. He played against him last season, and apparently did quite well. PFF graded him at +3.5 in that game. (Disclaimer: PFF)

Just throwing that out there.

Philbin says Dolphins kicker competition is wide open.

Translation: Sturges, you better get back soon, your drowning right now, and the weights are starting to build on your ankles...Mr. Potter, the ball is now in your court, do you have the killer instinct to win the job against the Cowpokes?

Is it me or are there a lot of deaths in sports stadiums in Southern California?

SF is in northern Cal.

Joe Philnin says Dolphins "don't have a first-team right guard right now."

WOW...at least he admits it. Get on the phone Hickey!!!

At lease we are seeing what appears to be immediate action...

hmm thats interesting, I read that as they don't know who is the RG right now but it could mean there is a possible trade for Boone

Boone is a power scheme guy not a zone guy.

You are going beyond current requirements...we just need someone who doesn't get run over...

On top of that, #Dolphins G Dallas Thomas was against a beast, an All-Pro in #Bucs DT Gerald McCoy. Fair game or quick hook?

I say FAIR GAME.. There's many more "beasts" in the NFL.. Do we need to worry every time we play one? At least give someone else a shot..

Hope the hell not...Shelley Smith is better...not eye-popping better, but better. San Fran's in no hurry to bring him back...

Boone was the 2nd best guard in the whole league last year. I'm using pff ratings for that determination. I don't think you can say Smith is better then an elite guard
