Training Camp to Kickoff July 26

by Matty I on Jun 25, 2008 4:56 PM EDT in News

The Dolphins have made it official. The 2008 Training Camp schedule has been released. It will begin with a double session on Saturday, July 26. The first practice is at 9 am and the second is at 5 pm. The veteran players are due to report to Davie on Friday, July 25, the day before practice begins.

The full schedule can be viewed right here. Some observations from the schedule are below:

First off day is Thursday, July 31
Only 5 double sessions are scheduled
July 26 to August 1 seems to be the toughest stretch for the players. They got a double on the 26, then singles on the 27-29, a double on the 30, an off day, and then a double on August 1.

Can't wait to get this thing underway!!

My fellings on bill parcel

I fell that overall hes doen good but not great tho.I fell that he didnt take enough time to look at the talent that he had on his roster when he took this team.He was just a lil to quick to let people go,One good example lorenzo booker He was fast had moves for a running back and also had great catching.But parcel let him go for the simple reason that he wasnt big and strong enough.So i fell that he is going to turn the team around His way and how he wants it.But its going to take longer cuz hes starten from scratch and maken a new team,We should call it the miami cowboys.I fell the smarter thing to do is look at the talent we had and work around with that.But you now what let me not complain cuz atleast were getten somethan doen and we have something to look forward to…...................................

Time for traning camp

Well now that tranning camp is starten off in about a month,I hope everybody is ready for the action that we got goen on.What happend to keyshan johnson werent we suppose to get him on the field this year.Cuz from what im hearn outta of the other recevier that we got from the jagurs he cant play for shit.The only reason bill picked him up was cuz he was cheap and he was big and strong.I feel like the only 2 receveirs that are actually goen to do good next year is tedd ginn jr,Cuz he has alot to prove and cuz he actually is a true talent he just didnt get a chance to realy show what he had last year.Bess the rookie outa of hawii and the reason for that is because he has solid hands and a realy good route runner.Alot of people arent expecten alot out of him cuz hes a un draftes free agent and he has alot to prove….....Hagan is just best as average as a receveir nuthan speacil and we seen that years and years in a row.The other guy from the jagurs is just big and is only goen to be good in the red zone,You can see him more like a tight end cuz we realy dont have a solid one….........................

What to expect from the defense

I fell like next year overall were gonna have an average defense,That the only time people are gonna score on ous is threw big plays and in the air.Parcel has been spenden so much time tryen to stop the run he has forgotten that teams can throw the ball also.I know next year this only going to be a handfull of teams that can run the ball on ous,Let me not get over myself and say nobodys going to be able to run on ous.Cuz we have a solid defenseve line and also linebackers,But its a new system and you can say a hole new team and they need time to gel togeather before things actually start to hapen for ous…...Let me get started with are secondary now well with the cornerbacks thats we got i dnt see nuthean happing.The only good solid corner is will allen but he will be a better fit as a second corner,If he got lined up with top recevers like he is goen to the only thing thats going to stop them from the touchdown is his speed.The other corners shouldnt even be starten at all whats so ever.Now with are saftys we have bell but hes most likely is goen to be out on a another injury half way threw the season.Jason allen was suppose to be something speacil comen out of collage picked in the first round,So he has alot to prove and with this new system who nows what hes gonna become so thats going to be something toi wait for,Cuz this is his last chance…... Chris crocker is a average gut from atlanta,I see him comen is if bell gets hurt our if allen is just doen horrible on the field…............................

hey lionel... haven't seen you around for a while.

I see where you are coming from, but I don’t think it is going to be as bad as you are saying.

First, unless you come in with a “Saban System”, Defense is probably the easier side of the ball to install a new system and have the players pick it up quickly. Saban was overly complicated, and a lot of guys were just flat out in the wrong position for the first half of his first year. The D players have already said multiple times how much they like this new system that Sparano and Co. are installing, because it is simple and “player friendly”. That means that it lets the players play more and think less, which is a very good think when you have a bunch of new guys, like you have pointed out.

Secondly, I really don’t know what to think about our DBs in general, and the corners specifically. If you had asked me at the end of last season, I would have said the exact same thing you just did. That Will Allen was really a #2 guy, that the rest of that crew was marginal at best. And I was a little disappointed that we didn’t pick up a “really good” DB in FA or the draft. But now I am seeing the Parcells plan come together, and I think it might be okay. I think that the D-line, and the pass rush are going to be fierce. And I am certain that the coaching will be better than last year. So when I look at the DBs, I have to admit that it might not be fair to judge them on what we saw last year, with not much help from the pass rush, poor coaching, and a lot of confusion due to the system and injuries.

My gut feeling is that the DBs will look much better this year, and that you will see less injuries due to 1) better conditioning, and 2) a better system resulting in less confusion. I also think you will see guys like Bell and J. Allen get the opportunity to really play well in a system that they understand, and get adequate practice time in.
Also, Andre Goodman and Renaldo Hill were playing pretty good before they got injured. And Michael Lehan looks like he might be ready to step into a starting position.

I really think the defense has a good chance to be a few notches better than average this year.
IMO

agreed

I think we’ll see remarkable improvement this season on D, and while we won’t be a Top 5 (or even top 10) Defense, we will be middle of the pack, stingy enough to hold leads, but not good enough to flat out win games, ala Baltimore, Chicago, Pittsburgh, in the past. But we have a lot of young pieces that can become good players, and a few vets who will help that development.

It’s far from a finished product, but it looks to be on the right track as far as defensive success. Come back in 2-3 years and see how this D looks, bet it’s one of the Elite’s

How good those this sound

Everybody nows we need to trade taylor and we need a top corner so we can be a top team in the afc.Well how does this sound lets trade jason taylor to the packers that realy want him for a 2nd round pick in next year draft.Then with that pick we can talk to the eagles and trade that 2nd round or maybe a lil extra for lito sheppard.Im sure he would love it here in south beach and on top of that he gets to be a number one guy again.Hes young and a top corner in this league and he wants a trade outta out of the eagles already.So wouldnt that just make all the partyies so much happier.The packers get the guy they want in taylor and get a more of a chance for a push for a ring.Taylor goes happy on a team thats close to championship.The eagles gets loose of a headache and alreay have there top corner in ashante samuel and know got a extra 2nd and whateva else we give them to get younger next year.Best of all we get a big name corner that weve had wanted more like needed for a very long time…...We already had connections with the eagles cuz of that lorenzo booker trade,That we got a 3rd rounder for,So i know they need that extra draft pick for there team….........So come on and lets make it happen bill….................
