Dolphins Training Camp: Open Thread 8/15
The Dolphins have two practices today as they prepare for their preseason opener against the Jaguars on Monday. The first is at 10:15 am and is open to the public. The second is set for 3 pm and is inside the bubble.
The kicking competition is getting very interesting, as Connor Barth again out-performed Dan Carpenter on Friday. But the highlight if Friday's practice seemed to be Pat White's day - his best as a Miami Dolphin. Hopefully he can build on his solid performance in both sessions yesterday.
John Nalbone has also been putting together some good practices this week. He caught a TD pas with the first-team offense during goal-line drills yesterday from Chad Pennington. And all week, he's shown much better hands than he did during OTAs and minicamps. Joey Haynos should be worried, if you ask me.
Meanwhile, Chad Henne again failed to move his team down the field during the 2-minute drill in practice. At what point do we get worried? Just wondering aloud...
As always, use this thread for all of your training camp discussion. As you find links to various practice reports, post them below. I will update this post as time allows with links to the reports to keep everyone as updated as possible.

Ernest Wilford should be worried

Honestly though
Im not too worried about Henne….think of it this way: when a player in any sport gets taught brand new things it can many times be seen as a step backwards because the player in essence has to relearn everything with the new lessons in mind. I think that may be what were seeing with Henne.

Pat White
If management was completely confident in Hene would White have been drafted….is he truly just a gadget player or also a safety net?
Let’s face it picking a QB that can be successful in the NFL is one of the toughest things to do…..how many top college QB’s have completely bombed in the NFL.

yea...the fact that...
he’s being tried in alot of different positions tells me he’s a long shot over the fav’s already at WR. The coaches might see how he plays in some preseason games…but to me…he’s dead weight…takes up a roster space for some else that they might like…

Lest we forget...
Henne worries me a lot, just doesn’t seem to have “it.” At all.
BUT….neither did Elway or Bradshaw, for almost two years, from what I hear. Fans in both cities wanted to give them the big boot….just sayin’…

Yes sometimes it takes time!
Look at Eli (he got better but will never be his brother)….like I stated earlier…Pat White may be more then just a wildcat man….he may be added insurance!

so true
It’s amazing how I can’t wait for Summer to end so football season gets here. I never thought I’d be more excited for Fall than Summer.
But once you’re out of school, Summer isn’t really all that special, I suppose.

I used to love summer
now its just a very hot bridge between the end of NBA/NHL and football season. Don’t get me wrong, I love baseball….but it seems to lose its shine when the idea of football season enters the brain.

Wilford...
It doesn’t make sense to keep Wilford IMHO! Just cause he started making some plays against some back up players!? Maybe if we didn’t have a solid TE then it would make more sense!

Loved this
Bill Parcells was in a playful mood afterward, purposely walking behind Channing Crowder as he conducted TV interviews and bumping him with his right shoulder. Crowder continued talking, noting how he was just “happy to have Bill Parcells in my life.” When he turned and realized Parcells was out of earshot, Crowder laughed and said, “He’s gone? Forget him then.” No way Crowder would talk that way unless there was a genuine closeness between the two.
