Here are some quick hits about the Miami Dolphins training camp workout today.
There's an owl hooting at

No practice again today for Brian Hartline (calf).
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 2, 2012
Clyde Gates (hamstring) is also not practicing.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 2, 2012
Garrard starting with the 1s. No surprise. Still waiting to see if/when Tannehill gets to go a bit with first group.
— Jesse Agler (@finsjesse) August 2, 2012
Philbin expects offense to be fully installed early next week. About 75% now.
— Jesse Agler (@finsjesse) August 2, 2012
No doubt about it, Lamar Miller is the starting kick returner when regular season rolls around. Kid has wheels.

Looked like rookie Andrew McDonald was doing some work at 2nd team RT. Made team as a tryout guy.

RT
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 2, 2012@joebossdog: How's Mike Pouncey doing?" He's got the toughest job at camp going against Soliai & Starks. Brutal work.#XOmar
By the time
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 2, 2012@mikepouncey gets to a game it'll probably feel like a vacation.
Jake Long says he feels the healthiest he's been in 3 years. Looks it, too.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 2, 2012
"The way I grade myself I felt I didn't play well last year," Jake Long said. "I'm my worst critic. I critique everything I do."

Talked to a couple players today who say they LOVE the new Nike uniforms compared to the ones made by Reebok. Lighter and more flexible
— Ben Volin (@BenVolinPBP) August 2, 2012
Ridiculous catch by Roberto Wallace on a deep seem pass in double coverage. He's been the star of training camp so far
— Ben Volin (@BenVolinPBP) August 2, 2012
Chris Clemons back working with the 1's at strong safety today
— Ben Volin (@BenVolinPBP) August 2, 2012
Seriously, this is the most boring Dolphins practice so far. Energy level is flat.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 2, 2012
Joe Philbin says Davone Bess has had a great camp so far. "Love his leadership, having a good camp, been productive."
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 2, 2012
The Dolphins installed the "Bear" or 46 defense today.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 2, 2012
Second-year FB Ryan Mahaffey is getting a good amount of work with starters last two days. Keep an eye on him.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 2, 2012
Chemistry is important to an offensive line. Jake Long and Richie Incognito already have chemistry. Why mess with that by moving him?
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 2, 2012#XOmar
Roberto Wallace is turning the deep sideline catch over a CB for TD into his practice signature. Another just now.

This is the second straight day I've noticed Charles Clay getting some reps with the starters. Not a lot, but some in a single TE set.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 2, 2012
Tannehill about to take his first reps with the 1s
— Jesse Agler (@finsjesse) August 2, 2012
Ryan Tannehilll got some work with the first team today. Philbin said he threw the ball well first few days so deserved opportunity.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 2, 2012
Good sideline throw from Ryan Tannehill on a rollout to Roberto Wallace. His best throws are rollouts.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 2, 2012
Philbin says RT17 will get first team reps "as earned."
— Jesse Agler (@finsjesse) August 2, 2012
"Smart kid, has a great arm, really anticipates where the opening are," Fasano said of Tannehill, who is ahead of the rookie QB he's seen
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 2, 2012
Ryan Tannehill today: "I want to be the guy. You don’t want to be a backup. I want to play and I want to get in there."
— Ben Volin (@BenVolinPBP) August 2, 2012
Tannehill discusses taking first-team reps plus Joe Philbin and Jake Long talk about the rookie QB...FinsidersTV: miamidolphins.com/media/videos/F…

Tannehill ran four plays with first team offense. Completion to Marlon Moore, fumbled snap, incomplete to 85, hand off to Thomas.

Story of the day was that Tannehill saw his first action with the first team. Began late in team practice, continued during blitz pickup.
— Jesse Agler (@finsjesse) August 2, 2012
Question from reporter to David Garrard today: Does being undrafted help in current QB competition. Garrard: "I was drafted." LOL.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 2, 2012
I believe this is the first time 40-second play clocks have been set up in a walk-thru.

Don't forget,

I'm told the Dolphins TEAM will be signing autographs during Saturday's 9:15am scrimmage at Sun-Life, which is open & free to the fans.
