Carroo has had a good camp and the Dolphins are eager to see more.
"He's been doing good,” Gase said. “He's been making some positive plays. His biggest thing is mentally, what are we going to do? Is he going to keep growing? Are we going to get stuck? Are we going to have that rookie wall hit? He's going to keep rolling on that."
• You know who else has impressed me? Safety Walt Aikens, who on consecutive plays today stopped a running play in the backfield and then picked off Brandon Doughty.
“He's been doing a good job,” Gase said. “Obviously we know his value on special teams as well. The fact that he's showing up at safety as well, that's a bonus. We know we've got a guy that when we put him in on defense, he's going to make plays."
Aikens raised his weight from 205 to 220 and said “that’s a good weight for me. I’m feeling a lot stronger, a lot more power in my hips. Last year was a rough year for me so I had to make up for it on special teams.”
Aikens said defensive coordinator Vance Joseph “likes my size, my speed, my athleticism. He wants me to key in on the little things and said I’ll be fine.”
• The Dolphins would love if Jakeem Grant can seize the punt and kickoff return jobs.
When I asked Jarvis Landry if he wants to keep his hand in returns this season, he said: “I’m the starting returner so we’ll see how many reps I get in preseason. I will be excited to see what Jakeem Grant and other guys can do there.”
What would be the ideal amount of returns for him to do this season? “I don’t think there’s a number on it,” Landry said. “Like I told coaches, it gives me the opportunity to get the ball in my hands and make a play. It creates some energy.”
