PrintAfter having a seemingly disappointing day at work last time up, the Miami offense (excluding the ground game) looked to bounce back with a productive showing on Wednesday. The clouds swarmed over the hot Davie field ready to attack like a cheetah eying its prey from one hundred yards away, but the rain never came, it teased the Miami players who begged for just one drop of water to cool down their full padded bodies. It seemed as if the rain would only come down depending on the performance of the players, and by the looks of it, the players wanted that rain today. Let's take a look at the Miami Dolphins' last practice before the first pre-season game of the season.
1 on 1:
Like Tuesday, the first drill of the day was the "1 on 1" drill which could give the coaches a glimpse of how the receivers separate themselves from coverage and how the DB’s stay in coverage.
(Henne played the 1st Team D as Moore played the 2nd and Devlin & O’Connel played the 3rd…all practice)
QUARTERBACKS:
Chad Henne: Henne had a nice drill going 3/4 with 3 TD’s, two to Brandon Marshall and the other to Brian Hartline. It was a good way to start for Henne who looked confident during the drill.
Matt Moore: Moore’s only pass on the drill went for a 15-yard TD to Clyde Gates.
Pat Devlin: went 0/1 on the play overthrowing Julius Pruitt.
Kevin O’Connell: Had a nice drill completing 2/2, both to Roberto Wallace, and one for a touchdown.
WIDE RECEIVERS:
Brandon Marshall: Marshall had two touchdown from Henne during "1 on 1" with a leaping one-handed touchdown in the end zone which had fans out of their seat early.
Brian Hartline: Received a nice strike in the middle of the end zone from Chad Henne for a TD.
Clyde Gates: Gates received a touchdown on a slant route from Moore.
Robeto Wallace: Received 2 touchdowns from his 3 grabs on the drill, totaling 40-yards.
11 on 11 (1st)
The running game seemed to be the one getting most of the attention on Tuesday, however today the ball was ran less than fice times; zero times on "11 on 11"
QUARTERBACKS:
Chad Henne: Henne had a decent outing going 2/4 with a 10-yard pass to Davone Bess on the left sideline and a 20-yard slant to Brandon Marshall.
Matt Moore: Moore had an excellent drill going 2/2 with 50 yards, completing what was the play of the day. Marlon Moore lined up to the right of Matt Moore; Moore (WR) had a quick stutter step to get away from draftee Jimmy Wilson and shot himself open to receive a perfectly thrown ball for 37 yards, which might have picked up more yards in real time. A couple fans chanted, "Give me Moore" after the completion. Moore also threw a 13-yard post out to Brooks Foster.
Pat Devlin: Devlin went 1/2 with a 10-yard pass to Brooks Foster.
Kevin O’Connell: O’Connell’s first and only pass was not over thrown but under thrown which would have been a simple 5-yard check down.
WIDE RECEIVERS:
Davone Bess: Had one catch on the drill going for 10 yards.
Jeron Mastrud: Mastrud had a surprising drill as he caught two passes for 21 yards, one from Moore and the other from Devlin.
Marlon Moore: received a perfectly thron ball from Matt Moore for 35 yards.
Brandon Marshall: Stripped the ball out of Vonae Davis’ hands as he caught a 20-yard pass from Henne.
RUNNING BACKS:
Daniel Thomas: Although he didn’t carry the ball, Thomas did exhibit his blocking ability on this drill, stopping players like Burnett and Yeremiah Bell who blitzed a couple times.
O-Line:
Mike Pouncey: Played solid on the drill by holding off blitzes and Big-Paul Soliai, but did have a fumbled snap to Pat Devlin.
D-LINE:
Paul Soliai: Soliai, who just missed the sack on Henne, bulldozed Vernon Carey to the ground on one play.
SECONDARY:
Vincent Agnew: Agnew had a good day playing for the 2nd D as he played extremely tight coverage on "11 on11"
Nolan Carroll: Carroll was on top of Clyde Gates all day; he didn’t allow him to make a move.
Chris Clemons: When Reggie Bush was placed on a WR set, Clemons rushed to help and deflected what would have been a 30-yard completion down the left sideline.
7 on 7:
Henne didn’t seem to play to his best abilities during "7 on7" on Tuesday, let’s see how he did twenty four hours later.
QUARTERBACKS:
Chad Henne: Henne had his best drill of the day during "7 on 7" as he went 6/7 with 85 yards and 3 TD’s. Henne was able to find the open man and throw passes to 5 different receivers: Brian Hartline, Derick Epps, Reggie Bush, Anthony Fasano, Nic Girgsby, and Roberto Wallace.
Matt Moore: Moore didn’t seem flustered during the drill as he did last time (going 1/4.) Moore went a solid 4/6 with 45 yards and 1 TD.
Pat Devlin: Devlin went 1/2 with a 12-yard pass to Mickey Shuler.
Kevin O’Connell: Threw one pass, which was completed to Reggie Bush for a 10-yard TD.
WIDE RECEIVERS/TE:
Dedrick Epps: Caught a 15-yard strike from Henne, but also had a drop in the end zone which came from Moore:
Anthony Fasano: Fasano had great drill catching 2 TD’s from Henne.
Mickey Shuler: Received passes from Moore and Devlin with a total of 25 yards.
Roberto Wallace: Another great outing from Wallace came during the "7 on 7" drill as he caught 3 passes, 2 for TD’s, and totaled 40 yards. Sean Smith covered at times and was not as aggressive as we’ve seen him in the past.
RUNNING BACKS:
Reggie Bush: Had one catch for 15 yards.
Daniel Thomas: Had one catch for 5 yards.
Nic Grigsby: Had one catch for 10 yards.
Kory Sheets: Had one catch for 7 yards.
11 on 11 (2nd)
Once again, the running game was nowhere to be found on this drill as the passing game stole the show.
QUARTERBACKS:
Chad Henne: Henne had another good drill as he went 2/3 with 28 yards throwing passes to Davone Bess and Brandon Marshall.
Matt Moore: Moore went 1/2 with a 15-yard pass to Jeron Mastrud along with a 3-yard scramble.
Pat Devlin: Went 1/1 with a 5-yard pass to Jeron Mastrud.
Kevin O’Connell: Like Devlin, O’Connell also only threw one pass, which was completed to Lex Hilliard for 6 yards.
WIDE RECEIVERS/TE:
Davone Bess: Caught a 17-yard pass on a cut-in from Chad Henne.
Brandon Marshall: Marshall connected with Henne once again as he caught an 11-yard pass after breaking Sean Smith’s ankles on a juke move.
RED ZONE DRILL:
Ball was placed on the 20-yard line and the offense had to punch it in using any play.
QUARTERBACKS:
Chad Henne: Henne went 1/3 with a 20-yard TD strike to Anthony Fasano. He threw one up to Clyde Gates but once again, Vonate Davis was there to break it up.
Matt Moore: Moore threw one pass, which was completed, to Marlon Moore for 12 yards.
Pat Devlin: Went 1/2 with an 8-yard touchdown to Clyde Gates in the deep left corner of the end zone.
WIDE RECEIVERS/TE:
Anthony Fasano: Caught a nice 20-yard TD pass from Henne.
Clyde Gates: Gates Ran a fade route towards the deep left corner of the end zone and leaped up to catch a perfectly thrown ball from Devlin for a TD.
Marlon Moore: Once again the "Moore to Moore" duo connected on a 12-yard pass.
Julius Pruitt: Dropped another TD in the end zone, overall not a good day for Pruitt.
RB/FB:
Reggie Bush: Bush ran for a nice 6-yard run on a handoff from Henne.
Charles Clay: Although Clay didn’t have any receptions today he was able to contribute blocking for Moore (against the 2nd D)
Kory Sheets: Sheets didn’t see much action today, but he did a bone crushing 6-yard run during the drill.
Daniel Thomas: Although Thomas’ only carry went for 3 yards, he was able to show us once again his extremely powerful blocking ability; especially against the blitz.
O-LINE:
Mike Pouncey: Pouncey had another fumbled snap to Devlin; I’m not sure what was going on with him today.
DEFENSE:
Reshad Jones: Was able to sneak inside the line to have tackles for minimal gains.
Mark Masterson: Dropped an easy pick in the end zone, punishment was 15 pushups for the big LB.
2-MINUTE DRILL:
It seemed as if this drill would determine if rain would fall on the backs of the players who had played in the heat for two hours as the crowd fanned themselves and drank water in a micking motion, what would Henne do?
QUARTERBACKS:
Chad Henne: Henne needed to get to field-goal range with 1:18 on the clock. His first 8-yard completion was followed by two incompletions that were broken up Nolan Carroll. Henne shrugged off the incompletions and completed the following three passes, one of them being a 35 floater that just landed in the hands of Brian Hartline who was covered by Chris Clemons and Vontae Davis. Reggie Bush ran for a 6-yard gain on a draw play that put the Offense in field goal range, which brought Dan Carpenter. 3..2..1..the kick was up and went about 15 yards to the right the post.
PLAYER OF THE DAY:
Chad Henne: Today, Henne proved to myself and hopefully many others that he can bounce back after a practice, that he can have confidence in himself, and that he can make those deep throws we begged for all season. Henne went 17/28 with 6 TD’s and 286 yards, if that doesn’t boost up your confidence at least a little, then I don’t know what will.
NOTABLE MENTIONS:
Anthony Fasano: Fasano had an excellent day today receiveing 3 passes for 3 TD’s and 55 yards.
Nate Garner: Garner had a difficult job today as he was going up against Jason Taylor, and he didn’t fail. Both Taylor and Garner went at it the whole practice and Garner was able to hold out the monster that is Jason Taylor.
Roberto Wallace & Brandon Marshall: Both Wallace and Marshall had excellent practices today as Wallace had 5 catches for 4 TD’s and 70 yards while Marshall had 4 catches for 1 TD and 61 yards.
The players were hot, the coaches lost their voices, players like Reggie Bush and Kevin Burnett got into exchanges that had the words "ALL DAY" expressed, but every player on the offense and defense improved from their last practice. Although Dan Carpenter did miss the 30-yard field goal to finish off the day, it seemed as if the offense did do enough for the clouds to turn dark and for the rain to fall on the players to cleanse them for the beginning of a new football season starting Friday.
Here's a shot of the 37-yard Marlon Moore catch over Jimmy Wilson:

I LOVE what Henne is doing
But I’m starting to worry about our secondary, LOL
What do you do when no one respects you? When you're so low you're not even an underdog? When your enemies are called kings? William Wallace would fight for every yard with his face painted aqua and orange. And so we will fight, not just for yards, but for touchdowns. And then they will fear us.

Wallace is a good ST players
and is now showing that he’s improving his receiver skills. I hope he can become a big contributor. His size will make him a good RZ target.

For the love of god this FO needs to carry 6 WR
It would be stupid of us to carry a 3rd TE like Mastrud or Shuler over Wallace and Moore, If we want a 3rd blocker in goal line sets then have Langford or Misi practice that. I really don’t wanna see us lose either one. I think both can develop into key role players for us

Could JT try that again?
We used him as a blocker a few years ago didn’t we?

You're kidding with the Langford/Misi thing right?
And it would be a waste to have 6 WRs. We run at most 5 WR sets (rarely) so what would be the point of the 6th besides STs? And a 3rd TE would at least be able to block for us on goal line situations and short run plays.
Don’t worry, Wallace is the 5th WR right now and that’s all we’ll carry.
I got S + What a Dog's Tail Does.
Bring back Pat White. He is the chosen one.
You do realize we have a new offensive coordinator that likes his 4/5 WR sets
I’m not saying have 6 WR’s active on gamedays. That’s overkill. Right now we have more talent at WR than TE. Frankly outside of Fasano the talent level takes a nosedive. If you want an extra blocker use Murtha/Misi/Taylor/Langford. Lot’s of teams use D-lineman as an extra TE with solid results. Mike Vrabel ring a bell

Not to mention that we can use Clay as a TE, even though he would be listed as HB or FB
We carry 2 TEs with Fasano and another decent blocking TE, then use Clay in passing sets.

Seems to me Clay should fill one of the TE spots
Fasano, Shuler and Clay…we kept Haynos and he couldn’t block, nor did David Martin…Long comes back and we can use Murtha or Colombo as a short yardage TE.
Do that and we get to keep Moore/Wallace.

6 WRs
We could stash 1 or 2 on the practice squad. Only 4 WRs are generally activated on game day. Don’t forget that we can use Bush in the slot to, essentially using him as a WR. That is just as flexible as counting Clay as a TE. I don’t think we need to keep 3 TEs if we plan to have Clay as a FB/TE, but even then, I don’t think we need to keep 6 WRs either.

Matty re-tweeted somebody that Pouncey's shotgun snaps...
were over Henne’s head all day.
You don’t mention that, Alejandro. Not the case?
Chad Henne took the Lindbergh baby!
I noticed that as well
They were just high snaps, not over his head, but Henne did have to reach a bit higher to get the ball

If Vincent Agnew (5-10, 192, 4.38 40) can continue to cover well, Will Allen better get healthy QUICK
Nice Observation:
Agnew had a good had a good day playing for the 2nd D as he played extremely tight coverage on "11 on11"
From Big Cat Country (SBNation)
The Jacksonville Jaguars brought in Central Michigan defensive back Vince Agnew for a private workout on Sunday, Big Cat Country has learned. Agnew played the cornerback position at Central Michigan, but will get looks at cornerback and safety for the NFL. Agnew’s impressive Pro-Day raised some eyebrows from some NFL scouts.
Vince Agnew (5-10, 192lbs) ran a 4.38 and 4.40 in the 40-yard dash. He had a 39 1/2 vertical jump, an 11.2 broad jump, 4.18 short shuttle, 6.68 three cone drill and did 14 reps on the bench press of 225lbs. Agnew may not get a look at cornerback at the NFL level, as some teams might want to transition him to the free safety position. Currently, Agnew looks to be a potential late round pick, but most likely will wind up an undrafted free agent. Agnew does have speed however, and that’s hard for some teams to pass up (From http://www.bigcatcountry.com/2011/4/18/2117362/jaguars-bring-in-central-michigan-db-vince-agnew)
My Favorite Acquisitions: "Clyde" Gates WR, Charles Clay FB, Jimmy Wilson CB/S, Nic Grigsby RB, Jonathan Freeney OLB, Kevin Burnett ILB, Reggie Bush RB, Tom Brandstater QB, Marc Colombo RT. OL needs to be Long (LT), Pouncey (LG), Incognito (C), Carey (RG), and Murtha (RT).
PS candidate most likely
No way Wilson and Agnew make the active roster

If those are the options then lets just pray that Allen's knee is healthy
your forgetting about Carroll. I really wanna see Davis on Welker in the slot. he’s the only guy on our defense that has any chance of stopping him 1 on 1. Maybe Carroll can line up on the outside on one of their pedestrian WR’s

Why is it the fans can see this and the coaches can't?
Just like Incog’s is a much right guard than left and Vontae and Smith need to line up against player specific matchups. (Davis on the burners/Smith on big possession guys)

I’m not sure either. Could be something to do with left foot dominate vs right foot dominate (like being left handed vs right) which effects the hips/balance. That is only a guess.
Kacy Rodgers! (Our D-Line Coach) Got to give him some credit.

Awesome Job
I love these posts since I’m 3000 miles away from ever seeing them practice. Keep it up! It really sounds like Henne has at least improved from last season. Is it enough? We’ll find out soon enough.
I think Boogate may have been the best thing to happen to Henne
Or maybe I am getting just a tad ahead of myself.

Miss the misery.
Need a reason for a change.
Need a reason to explain.
So turn it on again.
Don't change your mind.
You're wasting light.
Maybe a little ahead of yourself, but it sounds like a good hypothesis for what we've seen so far.
What do you do when no one respects you? When you're so low you're not even an underdog? When your enemies are called kings? William Wallace would fight for every yard with his face painted aqua and orange. And so we will fight, not just for yards, but for touchdowns. And then they will fear us.
Chad Henne is 7 feet tall and consumes DBs with fireballs from his eyes and lightning bolts from his ass.
I think a long off season of working hard and thinking about how he needs to change his game
Coupled with the new playbook, new OC and taking control of the players only workouts have all combined to help Henne progress towards the QB they hoped he’s be when they drafted him.
I think that has more to do with what we’re seeing than a bunch of fans accidentally providing the final peice of motivation that snapped him out of it.
Another possible factor…BMarsh is getting treatment for a mental health issue that almost certainly affected his play and his relationship with Henne, especially down the stretch. These two are obviously on the same page now.
Lastly…young QBs improve…or they implode…he doesn’t look like he’s imploding

I can agree with your assessment
Hopefully the new playbook will help the receivers get a little more separation on defenders compared to last year. It seemed that the the QB’s last season always had a small window the throw the ball into.
Good assessment, Phrozen.
What do you do when no one respects you? When you're so low you're not even an underdog? When your enemies are called kings? William Wallace would fight for every yard with his face painted aqua and orange. And so we will fight, not just for yards, but for touchdowns. And then they will fear us.
Chad Henne is 7 feet tall and consumes DBs with fireballs from his eyes and lightning bolts from his ass.
Appreciated
Henne was booed by 100,000 people everytime he went to Columbus..he’s heard it before.

For the past 3 days Henne has been throwing a lot to Marshall
Hopefully that progresses into the reg season

Looks like they might be coming together! but Mike needs more to not fumble the ball so much? guess the defense might be bothering HIM? stronger guys in the pros !Hope He start doing better! He a key player in the game! He young and may need more Training1 but time is running out for training!
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Two of the bad snaps were with Devlin...who he almost never works with
And the shotgun snaps were a little high as opposed to over his head…this doesn’t sound like a real problem to me.

I'm sure he'll work on it and getter as we progress through the pre-season
but if he went to OTA’s with Henne, I’m not sure why he isn’t snapping more accurately

What’s with this FO churning through young, talented safeties with upside?
It was this time last year that we were excited about Jonathon Amaya. Now we have Clemons, Jones, Wilson and the new guy Agnew?
Well, we’re definitely doing something right. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a breakout performance from whoever earns the starting FS spot! And if that happens, that means the Dolphins will have a top five defense. For sure.
Much better than Omar!
Good grief it takes me one minute to read Omar’s take…took me almost 10 minutes here. Great stuff and love the detail!
If you think you're a wise guy, then you're a pain in the butt for us real wise guys!
I may not be a franchise QB but I am a franchise wise guy!
