A few notes.

### The Dolphins practiced indoor, in pads, in Davie today, before flying to London for Sunday's Jets game. Dion Sims and Jonas Gray missed practice; Jordan Cameron, Earl Mitchell and Branden Albert were limited.

### I asked Cameron Wake if the defensive linemen are angry or frustrated by their inability to get to the quarterback so far. No, he said. “We’re determined, determined to make things better.”

Wake has been limited by a hamstring. “Any injury would hinder your burst or changed of direction," he said.

“It looks like he’s had a good week of practice,” Joe Philbin said. “[Getting more pressure on the quarterback] something that we’ve been emphasizing with our entire defensive front. We need to across the board we need to do a better job of that.”

### Philbin said that Michael Thomas starting ahead of Walt Aikens last week wasn’t necessarily performance based, but more a reflection of different packages that Miami uses.

### Among the many things irking Philbin: “I’m not real pleased with our run game in general overall, period," he griped Thursday. "It’s been a little bit of everything, we just haven’t gotten a lot of conversions. We’re 35 percent on third down, we haven’t run as many plays as we typically have, our run per carry is down a little bit, what is it about 4.0 or something like that? [Yes, and that’s tied for 14th in the league]. So we’re down a little bit. I think there are a lot of factors. We just haven’t run as many plays at this stage of the season as we have in other points last year.”

Why do we practice inside? Spectacular day out today. We don't play in a ****ing dome.
 
I have to keep reminding myself we are three games in on a 16 game season. Stephen Ross appears to be the only person on the planet earth expecting different results the rest of the way with the same unbending coaches, because everyone else has washed their hands of this.
 
It won't matter who's healthy on defense if we continue to use overly simplistic schemes that do not challenge opposing offenses.

Speaking of offensive, er I mean offense, Philbin saying we haven't run many plays is an understatement to say the least. Our run/pass ration is 29/71.
 
Phailbin again telling us they had a good day of practice. Same story different week. Would love to know his definition of a good day of practice
