The Miami Dolphins are back on the field today for training camp day four today. Here are some of the quick hits from practice:
Jake Long has probably been the O-lineman who has taken to the zone blocking scheme the best so far. He's so agile.

Chris Clemons (knee) is back at practice after missing a couple of days.

Jimmy Wilson once again working at Strong Safety instead of Chris Clemons. Today is Jimmy's 26th birthday

Defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle is coaching up the secondary on technique. He's such a technician. Curious to see the improvements made.

Club was not happy Knocks producer revealed Braylon Edwards tryout and got assurance something similar wouldn't happen again.

WR Julius Pruitt is on starting kick return team as an up man. That's a good sign for him at this point.

Tannehill .... deep to Wallace ..... touchdown

Safe to assume the right tackle spot belong to rookie Jonathan Martin unless he struggles in the exhibition season.

Hard not to notice that David Garrard has much better velocity and ball placement on his throws than Matt Moore, at least during drills

The Dolphins now have two WR -- Gates, Hartline -- missing practice today.

The way Jared Odrick moves during ball security drill I have to think he could play fullback in a pinch. Very athletic for 302 pounds.

Dolphins QB on fire throwing deep route vs. man coverage. Garrard deep to Naanee. Tannehill deep to Moore. Matt Moore deep to Chad Johnson.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) July 30, 2012
Closer as Moore was better and Tannehill was good vs. 2s. No clear winner. RT

John Jerry is working as the backup left guard today, being crosstrained.

When there's no pressure Ryan Tannehill looks solid. When there's pressure he looks puzzled.

Philbin says Ryan Tannehill had about 53 competitive snaps Sun. and completed about 40 of them. Today was good too, but not as much.

"He's got a little pop on it. The one thing I like on him is he's got some accuracy to him to," Davone Bess said of Tannehill.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 30, 2012
"He has a gunslinger's mentality," Davone Bess said about Ryan Tannehill.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 30, 2012
True story, you should see everyone's face light up when u ask them about Julius Pruitt. So many players are thrilled by way he's playing.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 30, 2012
"He's going up against an excellent rusher in Cameron Wake and that's good for him," Joe Philbin said of Jonathan Martin.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 30, 2012
Practice over. Olivier Vernon twisted his left ankle but returned to practice 10 minutes later. Tannehill looked $$$ again vs the 2's

Training camp sure ain't what it used to be. Players are free to go out tonight & sleep at home. Don't have to report back until 630 pm tmrw
— Ben Volin (@BenVolinPBP) July 30, 2012
Philbin says if players are "truly committed to reaching potential" they'd get off feet, get extra cold tub, watch extra tape on day off.
