Dolphins Wednesday OTA Roundup

had areas in need of improvement. He has great focus and seemed to work hard last season, but no sense allowing him to get complacent. He needs to continue improving, because they know he’ll earn the starting WOLB spot. They just don’t want him going out there without showing marked improvement in coverage and run stopping, and they know that forcing him to earn that and compete for it will keep his focus strong all off-season.

I don’t buy him not starting for a second.

Charlie Anderson, maybe. I wouldn’t be too happy either, but maybe. Misi will eventually take over, though, even if that happens.

I have to wonder if they’d be willing to spot Dansby at SOLB until Misi shows he’s ready to take over. Dobbins and Crowder could man the inside. Effectively? Questionable. But the new scheme and Dansby’s versatility tells me not to worry about this situation. It isn’t one yet, and calling for heads over Jason Taylor’s departure based off glorified practices in may is premature, as you know.

Wake & Misi 2nd teamers that will earn their spots. Perfect and both will

All we need is one more piece. OJ Atogwe.

Go get him!

Not worried to see draftees playing second team. I see most of them starting or getting plenty of playing time. Like RJ at Safety and Oderick and Misi…. even AJ Edds.

O-line has talent and depth for a change. As good as last year’s O-line was, it will be even better this year. Long, Grove, Nito and Carey will be there. Left Guard is the only question. But Jerry and Nate will be there for sure.

I am laughing real hard at Clam Crowder right now. If he doesn’t make it, he’ll never see the field…. cause he aint gettin out there on passing downs… lol

“If Charlie Anderson is your starter, your in trouble.” Or something along those lines. And to be honest, (if Misi isn’t ready to start) I would rather see Moses on the field. He looks like he has more upside to me.

Because this was the first media-friendly OTA, and reports of who started where and who was relegated to the second string are flooding in from just about every newspaper outlet, I feel as if everything is going to be overblown. This is only day two of the entire team being together. The coaches want to see how different units work together and how players respond to different roles. Bottom line: Come September, I don’t think many of us are going to remember that Moses and Anderson were starting outside linebackers on May 19th.

i think the coaches already have a good grasp on who is going to be where. i tend to agree with bicycle. this being the first one that everyone can see. they play it safe and put guys here and there to keep everyone guessing still.

i dont really buy that anyone’s spot is safe. i like that caoch Tony dont ego stroke these guys. { you want the spot, you earn it every year }

Our offensive line be Jake Long(LT), Donald Thomas(LG), Jake Grove©, Richie Incognito(RG), and John Jerry(RT). I have seen Carey get beat too many times. Its not that he is weak, it is just that he tends to take plays off and not even make contact with his guy on some plays. Those usually end in a really bad play. You just can’t have that on the offensive line…. I also think they didn’t resign him until after they had no other real options out there and resigned him because there was no one else better.

this is the first OTA, its not even a mini camp, they are just starting installs, don’t read ANYTHING into who is starting and who is 2nd team.

Moses was the starting WOLB and Anderson at SOLB, Misi backed up Moses and Wake backed up Anderson, they are ALL just being flip flopped, Moses is a SOLB, Misi is getting a shot there too, Wake and Anderson are WOLBs, Sparano mentioned how he wants to see Wake and Anderson getting good pressure from the WOLB spot.

Don’t read anything into this stuff.

to win the starting spot at LG. He was a little disappointing last season considering the hype he had in 2008, sure, but he is the strongest guy on the roster which means you can’t count him out.
