PrintThe Dolphins today released their first depth chart of the preseason. While it is exciting to see how the coaching staff is racking the players, there aren't a whole lot of surprises on this chart.
- Reggie Bush is listed as the number one running back, and not listed as a punt returner.
- The rest of the running backs are rookie Daniel Thomas, Lex Hilliard, Kory Sheets, and finally Nic Grigsby.
- The wide outs right now are Brandon Marshall, Brian Hartline, Davone Bess, Clyde Gates, Roberto Wallace, Marlon Moore, Brooks Foster, Phillip Livas, Julius Pruitt, and then Patrick Carter.
- Lydon Murtha is listed as the starting left tackle, but will fall back to number two once Jake Long is off the physically unable to perform list.
- Although he has been working with Cameron Wake during some of the practices, linebacker Jason Taylor is listed as the backup to Koa Misi on the strong side.
- Chris Clemons is still listed ahead of Reshad Jones at the free safety position.

So turn it on again.
Don't change your mind.
You're wasting light.
I'm suprised that
Wilson is listed as the #5 CB on the depth chart and that Odrick is listed behind Merling at DE. But there was no shocking moves at the starter roles.
I got S + What a Dog's Tail Does.
Bring back Pat White. He is the chosen one.
Agreed, I expect BOTH those to change
How great is it having Odrick as a backup. Our DL is NASTY.

its exciting to see that Odrick is 3rd on here
but also means something has to give…..
Well...
What I heard was that it was listed as Merling/Odrick
Prove everyone that said you weren't a franchise QB wrong, Henne. "WE WANT HENNE!!" GO PHINS!! What can I say I am a homer, I have come to terms with that and accepted it. I predict 10-6 and a wildcard berth. Jets got worse this year when they lost Ellis to the Patriots. The Patriots are going to be more solid on defense this year than they have in the past.

Surprises me, too.
I mean, who is Jose Perez? Didn’t he used to play 2nd base for the Mets?
Also thought it was interesting to see they went ahead and listed Clay as a FB, rather than a TE. Not surprising, but we weren’t sure where he would be listed.
Chad Henne took the Lindbergh baby!
Jose Perez is a UDFA.

Now if you were the coach… saw potential in a player, and wanted to get his butt motivated, wouldn’t you put him behind someone else in practice? That, IMO, will bring out the best in Pre-season.

The OL chart concerns me
1) Incognito struggled at LG last year – he started to shine when he was moved to center. So now he’s back where he was ineffective. I thought it made more sense to have Pouncey play LG (i understand he can play G well) and let Incognito play where he WAS effective last year C.
2) Colombo listed #1 at RT and you guys know how I feel about this. He basically played on one leg last year and yeilded 7 sacks from the RT position for Dallas. HIs injury history is long (dating back to the Bears).
They need someone else to step up at RG so Carey can move back to RT Colombo is not going to cut it – Dallas knew that.
Anyone else concerned with the early look at the OL chart?

I can't imagine a healthy Long doesn't kick Murtha over to RT.
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.

according to Mosul
•Lydon Murtha is listed as the starting left tackle, but will fall back to number two once Jake Long is off the physically unable to perform list.
I am hoping Colombo doesn;t make the team. He wasn;t good enough for Dallas’ struggling OL and now he listed RT1 for MIami albeit very early on.
I am not sold on Murtha at this point either btw. I just have to beleive someone better than Colombo HAS to emerge. PLEASE.

We have Willis, but he just signed.
And in all fairness, Colombo was injured too.

Agree with you about the OL alignment.
Incognito doesn’t pull well, and Pouncey doesn’t snap well. Seems like they would be more natural if they traded positions.
Chad Henne took the Lindbergh baby!
incognito cant snap the ball
pouncey only had 1 bad snap the entire time he been here
if it is to be it is up to me
by biggaandbadda on Aug 8, 2011 7:49 PM EDT up reply actions
but Pouncey has to be more athletic
so…. i don;t know ….. Tony is the OL expert – I am just concerned about another OL debacle like last year and if that happens again this will be a below average Offense I don;t care if Reggie Bush or Brandon Marshall are out there.
by scrappy the wildcat on Aug 8, 2011 8:43 PM EDT up reply actions
Pouncey is snapping fine.
There is also more to it at center. They make the calls for the entire OL too. Pouncey has been doing good.

The center doesn't just block!
When the huddle breaks, it’s the centers job to scan the field and inform the line of any probable QB problems, and call out what routine they’ve practiced to protect him. That is just ‘one’ of the handful of requirements of the Center. Each position has a scheme to perform.
Of coarse the QB makes all the calls, or changes before the snap…but the center is the second most important player on offense.
That’s why I was saying, you cannot just pull a guard…put him at center, and say he played great because he blocked his guy.

Does anyone else see Nate Garner Taking over the number #1 RT spot from Colombo?
I have a strong feeling that the RT position will be a revolving door this year until Garner Wins it.
"The world we create is the world we live in."
I thought the same thing about Garner
a while ago. By the reports about Murtha, he could also move to RT once Long is back.
it's definitely crossed my mind.
I like what I have seen from Garner. Gut has he ever been a full time starter?
he’s not fully proven either – we need someone to step up quick.

Murtha is starting at LT and Willis just joined the team.
The battle for RT is far from over.
- Attempting to debate with a person who has abandoned reason is like giving medicine to the dead.

I would much rather have a really good Center and an ok LG than the opposite.
Incognito was overhyped at C last year, he may have been slightly better than when he was at G, but you have to remember he had Berger at C to work with while at LG.
Really though, shouldn’t Incognito move back to his natural position where he did very well on the Rams? Wasn’t he RG there? If Carey has LT experience then he can definitely play LG.

throw my name in there as someone who thinks Reshad Jones bypasses clemons at some point. We need a playmaker at Safety.

Definitely some unpleasantness
1. Murtha’s presence at LT underscores Long’s health problems. I’d take an injured Long over a healthy Murtha any day.
2. It appears that, despite last year’s praise for Incognito’s C play, Baby Pouncey is better.
3. I don’t like that Colombo is our starting RT. Bad sign, given his last season.
4. Wait…so Reggie is really going to be our fist RB??
5. Defense looks solid, though I wish Odrick had done enough to be higher.
6. I was hoping Gates would beat Hartline immediately.
You mad? You jelly?
Ayatollah of the "Draft Mike Pouncey" bandwagon. [√]
[Currently hoping that Reggie Bush isn't as useless as I think he is]
This is valueable time to evaluate Murtha as the #1 OT backup or as the starting RT.
Going up against Wake often can only help him.
Also, this lets Long heal for another month.

This is the depth chart for Atlanta.
Did you really expect Long to play with no reps at TC? This means nothing as far as his recovery is concerned.
Willis just signed and will see limited reps at RT. Murtha won’t get reps because he’s playing LT. There is a limited amount of people there. This isn’t our opening day depth chart people!
Bush is a vet and is competing for the #1 job. This doesn’t mean he’s the starter, especially since Thomas still has a lot to learn.
Again, Gates has a lot to learn and Hartline has been productive. Gates needs at least preseason games to be a starter. Still, he’s unlikely to start this year anyways.
- Attempting to debate with a person who has abandoned reason is like giving medicine to the dead.
- Defeat isn't bitter if you don't swallow it.
Benny Sapp gets paid too much to be the 5th or 6th CB.
Like to see Hartline being the #2 WR.
RT concerns me atm, but if Murtha gained strength and can run block; we have both starting OTs done for the next 10+ years.
Why is Odrick so low?
Why is Wilson a CB?
Clemons in the lead!
Hope Spitler makes it this year.
Bush ahead of Thomas? Interesting, might have to do with the O implemented.
OG depth is just miserable.
I expect Clay to be a TE by end of PS or to be used like another TE.

Our O-line is fine
We will carry 9 O-linemen. We’ll have 4 OTs with Long, Murtha, Colombo, and Garner. Our interior linemen will be Incognito, Pouncey, Carey as starters with Berger and then Jerry/Feinga/unnamed FA as backups. Garner’s versatility to play all of the line positions, plus Murtha’s apparent emergence as a capable tackle makes our O-line better across the board. We have a good starting lineup with good depth now.

I'm with you on Clay being the TE addition.
As of now they have run him some on TE, and he’s done great!
Now they are having him on blocking, and he’s doing a good job there also.
I think this guy will be the “steal” of the draft.

I'm surprised that people are surprised.
I knew Bush was going to be the starter. Coach said it early on and it was intimated that him starting and getting a lot of touches would be in his contract.
Also, he’s not returning punts, which means he’ll be healthy. I think he’s only really been injured on punt returns.
On to da next one!
Theirs no reason why Reggie shouldn't be on the field to start the game.
He might be our 2nd best weapon behind B-Marsh. Bess is Henne’s safety blanket.

No, the amount of touches was never written into Bush's contract...
He’s only not returning punts this game. It doesn’t mean he won’t be in the regular season. We know what Bush can do as a return man so there is no reason to throw him back there.

Can he pull? LG at all? Just wondering

Garner was injuried last year.
The year before he played every position on the line. Including center. He’s a stud.
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

I was mainly referring to Gaurd, Center, and Tackle. You are might be right though.

That is the amazing part to me. He plays 3 O-Line positions in one game.
I believe he started at LG. Then Carey got hurt for a couple of series. So he goes in at RT. Then Grove got hurt and he plays Center. You can’t teach that shit or game plan for it. To know all those assignments is one thing. To do it in one game is unheard of. LOL The only position he did not play was LT that year if I remember right.

Where's Brett Brackett?
Jimmy Wilson will beat out Tyron Culver at S. It’s nice to see that he can also be used at corner though. We’ve needed a safety who can cover a TE or 3rd WR for quite some time.
Devlin looks like he’ll be on the practice squad at this point. If theirs a supplemental draft, Terrell Pryor will be our 3rd QB…
Why isn’t Reggie going to return punts??? Unless Clyde Gates, can really handle the return duties better, there is no reason why Reggie shouldn’t be the punt returner!
Nate Garner has been moved to RT. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him moved back to LG though once Jake Long returns and Lydon Murtha is kicked over to the other side.
That is all for now.
by JP 23 on Aug 8, 2011 6:39 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
Nearly all but one minor stress calf injury...
came on punt returns. If they really plan on utilizing him in the offense then keep him off of punt returns.
On to da next one!
Why do we need Bush to return punts in preseason?
We know what we get with him and putting him out on returns in preseason is asking for trouble since he has injury issues. Let Gates get some reps.

Disappointed that Odrick is so low on the depth chart.
He needs to show something this season. Also, I must not have been paying attention, because it’s weird to see Carey penciled in under RG.
I think it's interesting how they have Wilson listed
We typically keep 9 DBs: 5 corners and 4 safeties. I think we’ll carry 4 corners and 4 safeties with Wilson being listed at S, but could play corner in necessary. Although Wilson has been playing with the 2nd team some.
I find it interesting that Jimmy Wilson is being used as the safety in the box on the second team defense.

He'll be listed as a safety...
but his versatility to play CB means we can carry 5 safeties and only 4 CBs. I don’t think they’ll do it the same way as Allen. He’ll be a safety that can play as CB out of the safety position.

Maybe, but he's a 7th rounder and I don't expect much.

I hope he makes it.

He looks to bring the athleticism we need out of the SS position in a pass happy league,
but has plenty of beef to play in the box.

Wilson was drafted on the the 7th.
But before his troubles with the law he was seen to go at the end of the 1st, early 2d round. So! I expect great thing out of this kid!.

Kinda like what happened with Nolan Carrol.
And he is doing fine in TC so far. This coaching staff has isolated him on Marshall and those two duked it out during the scrimmage.

But he can't play there with Big Vern taking that spot, so that's out.
Assuming either Murtha (please!) or Colombo (miracle!) works out at RT, that leaves Incognito at either LG or C. Of those two, he’s a better C.
Chad Henne took the Lindbergh baby!
PFF had Incognito rated better as a guard than as a center
He can pull, he’s just not great at it. We’ll be fine.

I don't know if Carey can pull or not
OTs usually have to have good footwork to handle edge rushers and they are usually more athletic. He might be able to pull.

And he really doesn't need to as a RG.

Maybe so.
I can only say that’s not at all what I saw. Maybe he just looked worse at G because Berger was in the lineup, which meant he had to try to help out a lot.

so moving carey and plugging in Colombo is a head scratcher.

It's just not the same without Brandstater
Still, I guess we have to accept that the Divine One has left the building… how empty the glass suddenly seems.
Chad Henne is clearly the answer. But what exactly is the question?

Guys, reality check!
These depth charts are meaningless right now — don’t read anything into them. After the third preseason game, then care.
the depth chart look right
Fs and Kr might be the only that change in week 1
if it is to be it is up to me

People need to stop flipping
This is the depth chart for Friday, not for the regular season.
Murtha is playing LT and Ray Willis just signed, so of course Colombo is starting at RT.
Who cares if Bush isn’t KR/PR? We know what he can do. He has a history with injuries and having him on ST during meaningless games is asking for trouble.
Long not on the depth chart means nothing about his recovery. He’s not playing in the preseason without TC reps, period.
Clemons and Bush as starters means nothing right now. Sparano has said Daniel Thomas still needs to pick up a lot of things so of course he’s not going to start, but they do expect Bush to be the featured RB anyways.
Who really thought Gates would win the #2 job without a single preseason game? Anyone other than Toast? Anyone? Spoiler alert: Gates will probably not be a starter this year.
This is the depth chart for Friday, so stop being so disappointed that position battles haven’t been won yet.

It's merely a gauge to measure progress over the next few weeks.
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.

Silly question, is Edmond Gates and Clyde Gates the same WR? Did he get a name change and I didn’t notice?
They are the same.
Edmond is his legal name, but he goes by Clyde, which is his dad’s name.

You know its pretty ridiculous how many quality DE's we have on the team
We run a 3-4. We usually only play 2 at one time. We have 5 guys that warrant PT. We need to trade somebody

Bess returning kicks seems like a bad idea to me
If the past is any indicator of the future, Bess will probably be Henne’s safety net again this year, meaning he’ll be catching alot of passes across the middle and probably eating a bunch of tough MLB/Nickel CB shots. Couple this with returning kicks and I think a valuable part of our offense is gunna be getting hit a little too much. Was hoping Gates would get a shot running a few back actually….
Best player we signed this offseason: Zach Thomas!!! :)
They have Sheets at the back
but I believe we will see him returning Kicks by the first of the season.
