[NyPhan23]

Will update as the morning progresses

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Miami Dolphins training camp weather report: Partly cloudy, highs near 90. @davidcanter afternoon thunderstorms.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Yesterday David Garrard stiff armed the competition, putting some distance between himself & Matt Moore. Curious to see if Moore rebounds.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
I'm wondering if today is the day Ryan Tannehill gets the call up & works with the 1st team. Not sure he's ready for that 1st team D YET?

The Lamar Thomas ‏@TheLAMARkable36
Had a dream that I was in training camp. Dammit woke up just before I got my check. Smh !

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Every day the group of defenders doing wind sprints after practice with DC Kevin Coyle grows. I'm curious if it keeps spit balling?

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
No practice again today for Brian Hartline (calf).

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
New acquisition Chandler Burden is in attendance at Miami Dolphins practice

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould

Clyde Gates (hamstring) is also not practicing.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Clyde Gates off the side watching the offensive walk through in the bubble.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Lydon Murtha is working as the second team left guard. Saw that one coming. He's athletic and lean.

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolinPBP
Same drill as always: Brian Hartline and Clyde Gates not practicing today

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Hartline still sidelined. Gates looks like he'll be limited.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Actually, cancel that Lydon Murtha tweet. He's still a right tackle. That Eric Steinbach, who looks like Murtha.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Country music song is the first song of the day. Something about smelling something, and smelling fresh cut grass. Help a brotha out?

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
"I got your back when you're backs against the wall. Boys of (something)." Didn't catch it.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Song no. 2 is country too. The Offensive line is clearly running things today.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
I believe former UM and Dolphins QB Steve Walsh is here. He's a high school coach somewhere locally.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
David Garrard working with the first team.

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Matt Moore and David Garrard go with the 1s, Tannehill with the backups in walkthrough.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Artis Hicks still at right guard. Jonathan Martin at right tackle with first group.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
Second-year FB Ryan Mahaffey is getting a good amount of work with starters last two days. Keep an eye on him.

Steinbach at LG, Jerry at RG w second team line.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Chris Clemons is spending his second day as the Dolphins' starting safety.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
This is the second straight day I've noticed Charles Clay getting some reps with the starters. Not a lot, but some in a single TE set.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Jonathan Wade just picked off a Matt Moore pass, but the ref threw the flag for pass interference.

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Jonathan Wade's INT of Matt Moore called back by holding. Asst coach to ref: C'mon man, this is the NFL!

The Dolphins have gotten rid of their stance that offensive linemen must practice with knee pads.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Dolphins working on pass skeleton drills outdoors.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
They have to show new coaches they belong. RT @paulrock18: Hartline and/or Gates in trouble if they don't get on the field?

Dolphins currently working on special teams.

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Fins giving everyone a look at KR. D. Thomas, L. Miller, J. Pruitt, Q. Lawrence among all seeing kicks.

From today's Post: Matt Moore calls Chad Johnson's work ethic "inspiring"

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Tyrone Culver just ran clear through Kevyn Scott in drills.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
No doubt about it, Lamar Miller is the starting kick returner when regular season rolls around. Kid has wheels.

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolinPBP
From today's Post: Jimmy Wilson feels comfortable with his transition from cornerback to safety

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Dolphins now working on individual drills outdoors. Another steamy morning.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Brian Hartline is starting to look a lot better, but if he rushes back he could suffer another setback with the calf.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Charles Clay still has plenty of work to do when it comes to in-line blocking.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
I'm told the Dolphins TEAM will be signing autographs during Saturday's 9:15am scrimmage at Sun-Life, which is open & free to the fans.

---- UPDATE 1 ----

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolinPBP
Chris Clemons back working with the 1's at strong safety today


Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Sean Smith convinced me yesterday the 7-on-7 drills are not a fair gauge of the passing game.


Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly

Ridiculous catch by Roberto Wallace on a deep seem pass in double coverage. He's been the star of training camp so far

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Ryan Tannehill ends the drill with a crisp pass in the middle to Chad Johnson.

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
It's raining laundry early in these 11-on-11 drills. Sloppy work.

"Smart kid, has a great arm, really anticipates where the opening are," Fasano said of Tannehill, who is ahead of the rookie QB he's seen

[datruth55]

Doesn't sound like the offense is in sync today. Lots of fumbles.

 

[hoops]

i like hearing tannys finally getting some snaps with the 1's...even if its against the 2's on d

 

[Billk78]

All these botched snaps are worrysome...

 

[ckparrothead]

The concern to me is that the energy is flat today. Yesterday is one thing, since they had Tuesday off and sometimes it can take a bit to get back into gear, but it might be time for a little negative reinforcement from Philbin, who is not known as a yeller.

 

[LANGER72]

Roberto Wallace might be making a move to replace Hartline(if and when he gets healthy) with all those over the shoulder TD's. At this point it looks like Johnson, Bess, Wallace as the starting WR's.

 

[ckparrothead]

That's more than a little premature. Remember that Brian Hartline has impressed during actual regular season football games. When Roberto Wallace has had his chances during games...he's generally blown them.

I don't mean to sound harsh, I do agree with you that Roberto Wallace has made his presence felt and is looking more and more like a guy who can make the team. I think what is interesting is he's crossing over from being a guy that flashes to being a guy that consistently brings it in the practices. That's a very tough thing to do...going from being a strobe light to a flood light. But being realistic, he's not even assured of a roster spot yet, let alone a spot ahead of Brian Hartline.

 

[Lord Of Miami]

To me it sounds like their legs are shot from being run hard the first week......that's the first thing i thought of.

 

[Phins117]

Everybody is aloud one bad day. Everything has sounded pretty good until today... Happy that miller seems to have found a spot on the return team. Now I don't have to put Davis back to return kicks in madden lol.

 

[spiketex]

On the positive side, it's good to hear that Roberto Wallace is playing consistently well, day after day. Maybe he can make it as an NFL wide receiver.

 

[ckparrothead]

To me it sounds like their legs are shot from being run hard the first week......that's the first thing i thought of.

That's possible. They run a lot of reps in practice. However they don't run over in practice, everything is still condensed into a 2-3 hour period.

Now that I think back it does seem like I remember it being common for players to lose their legs a little after a week of TC. They start to get their legs back again shortly.

 

[Penthos]

i like hearing tannys finally getting some snaps with the 1's...even if its against the 2's on d

Agreed. It seems like a logical and methodical approach Philbin is taking. Let RT acclimate to the speed of the game by giving him a couple days with the backups, then working him with the starters on offense against the #2 defense, then after a couple more practices I assume he'll be with working against the #1s as well.

I'm becoming more convinced that this isn't a conventional 3-way race for Starting QB. I think its really between Tannehill and the winner of Moore VS Gerrard. The loser, Moore or Gerrard, will be traded.

 

[ckparrothead]

Everybody is aloud one bad day. Everything has sounded pretty good until today... Happy that miller seems to have found a spot on the return team. Now I don't have to put Davis back to return kicks in madden lol.

Yesterday was a bad day as well.

 

[DaLionsden189]

A lot of positive from Roberto Wallace can't wait to watch some preseason games...the false starts will cease a little bit..its only the 2nd week of two of day people

 

[ckparrothead]

Baby steps. He's got a lot of steps to go. He's got to go from flashing in practice to consistent in practice to flashing in games to consistent in games.
