Morning Practice Reports

So it has begun!! Just waking up today felt different; it felt like football was to be played today. Man that's a great feeling!

Real quick, though, I got one programming note. For the rest of the day today, all day tomorrow, and half of Monday, posts from me will slow. I have a wedding tomorrow afternoon/night, meaning that tonight is the rehearsal/dinner. And I won't be back from the wedding until Monday afternoon. So it'll be up to you guys to post any updates. I hope to check in from my phone and promote FanPosts and FanShots to the front page often. But there will be a lack of front-page posts from me for the next 48 hours or so.

So real quick, I just wanted to highlight some of the practice reports from the South Florida media.

PALM BEACH POST PRACTICE REPORT
Highlights include:

-Ronnie Brown looking great
-Davone Bess "catches everything"
-Josh McCown missing on short throws
-Trey Darilek the starting guard opposite of Smiley
-Crowder and Ayodele starting ILB

SUN-SENTINEL PRACTICE REPORT
Highlights include:

-Joey Porter sitting out of practice; Reggie Torbor taking his spot
-Charlie Anderson taking Jason Taylor's old starting spot for now
-Starting corners are Will Allen and Andre Goodman; Michael Lehan not participating

MIAMI HERALD PRACTICE REPORT
-Highlights include:

-Anthony Fasano working some with 1st team offense
-Former Packers' GM Ron Wolf shadowing Bill Parcells around practice field

There really hasn't been much said about the quarterbacks yet.

Also, you can head over to MiamiDolphins.com and watch a short video with some practice highlights. A few things that jumped out at me during the video:

-Ronnie Brown doesn't have any noticeable limp anymore. In fact, Ronnie looks downright quick
-John Beck looks bigger - all that lifting paid off
-A lot of focus on the RBs - perhaps a little foreshadowing?

Anyways, second practice begins at 5 pm today.

Nice to see Ronnie kicking ass.

Why so serious?

I wish Madden was covering a Fins game this year

so we could hear “Ricky Williams takes it through the A-hole for the touchdown”. Anyone remember that call from Madden in a Monday night game against the Bears?

The impact of Henne’s absence was not as big as it might have been on a different day because of how Sparano and offensive coordinator Dan Henning have set up practices.
“The way we intended to go about rotating quarterbacks, Chad would have been down today either way,” Sparano said. “When I say down, with our quarterback rotation, what we’re going to try to do is feature two quarterbacks for a practice, let them take the majority of the team reps in practice and then let all three quarterbacks work in the 7-on-7s and individual drills and some of those things. So we get a little bit longer look. Instead of a four-play sequence maybe we’re getting a seven- or eight-play sequence in two quarterbacks.”

I think Beck is going to have to blow McCown out of the water in order to start. Just a hunch.
