#Dolphins practice 4 times this week before heading to Houston after practicing just twice between Cowboys & Dolphins preseason games
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 11, 2013
Monday, Wednesday and Thursday practices are at 8am
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 11, 2013
Looks like shorts with shoulder pads for Dolphins at practice today.
— Jesse Agler (@finsjesse) August 11, 2013
John Jerry had his left knee scoped. Been trying to figure that out for two weeks.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Rookie safety Keelan Johnson has a compression sleeve on his left leg.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Nate Garner is indeed the starting RG today. It appears Josh Samuda's two week run as the starter is over.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Rishard Matthews here at practice for first time in weeks. Randy Starks only absent player.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 11, 2013
That is what I love about this coaching staff. They are very consistent. The film is judge and jury.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Now Nate Garner has a one week window to earn what should have been his in 2010. Will he seize the opportunity?
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
DT Randy Starks not at practice. TE Kyle Miller, CB Jamar Taylor, WR Rishard Matthews at practice not sure if working.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 11, 2013
WR Julius Pruitt, RG John Jerry at practice. Not sure if working. #Dolphins
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 11, 2013
Jeff Ireland is on the practice field talking to Philbin during practice. I've never seen that before. I'm intrigued now.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
John Jerry is here, might not practice yet but if he returns soon will help. Not exactly a star RG but better than what #Dolphins have now
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 11, 2013
Lee Robinson, Josh Kaddu and Jelani Jenkins are paired together in the LBER unit today. Only one of these guys have been worthy of the 53.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
If Rishard Matthews is fully healthy should make WR bubble watch more interesting. He's no lock but had inside track going in
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 11, 2013
TE Kyle Miller, who missed all of last week's practice, appears to be back at practice.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
CB Jamar Taylor doing individual drills. Better get healthy. Falling behind by not being on field.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 11, 2013
RG John Jerry not outside yet. No telling when he might be ready to return. TE Kyle Miller (ankle) not outside.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 11, 2013
Josh Samuda playing backup C. Not sure if RG experiment over. Will keep eye out.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 11, 2013
Jorvorskie Lane just beat Jonathan Freeny deep during 1-on-1s.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Putting on the pads before heading out for practice. #FinsCamp http://t.co/kASiXdR1IO
— Jesse Agler (@finsjesse) August 11, 2013
Jorvorskie Lane just beat Dannell Ellerbe during 1-on-1.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Today's practice is a heavy special teams day. The day after games that is usually the case.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Dolphins first round pick Dion Jordan IS NOT practicing today. He went in for rehab assignment.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Rishard Matthews returning punts #Dolphins
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 11, 2013
Rishard Matthews is out there practicing again. He needs to work to make the 53, but is he rushing himself back?
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Ryan Tannehill and his QB crew are working on their footwork, and resetting themselves in the pocket. They MUST improve at that.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Rookie safety Keelan Johnson is not practicing.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
LB Koa Misi just whipped Dustin Keller twice in pass blocking drill. Ugly stuff for Keller, who had nice game.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 11, 2013
Koa Misi just whipped Michael Egnew. Nice day for Misi so far. Has speed & power in this drill. Gotta c it on games.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 11, 2013
Looks like Dallas Thomas settled in exclusively at RT. haven't seen him any other spot since HOF game.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 11, 2013
Marcus Thigpen is a WR again today. Just caught a TD pass on goal line 1-on-1s.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
TE pass blocking drill important. Will need to help both OTs. Haven't been impressed w/Martin or Clabo.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 11, 2013
Will Yeatman and Olivier Vernon just got into a punching match. Vernon put the paws up and threw the first blow. Yeatman tapped him on butt
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
And yes, I'm certain Will Yeatman would beat Olivier Vernon up. Yeatman is a big man.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Marvin McNutt makes a grab in 1 on 1 drills but drops it after Grimes gets to him. Tannehill was QB #Dolphins
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 11, 2013
Tannehill finds Rishard Matthews deep in 1 on 1, covered by Presley. #Dolphins
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 11, 2013
Chad Bumphis just eat up Jamar Taylor in one-on-ones.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Pat Devlin looking strong today in 1 on 1s... Tannehill finds Lamar Miller deep #Dolphins
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 11, 2013
Ryan Tannehill seems to be taking an interest in Brian Tyms. He's coaching him up now. That's encouraging.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Maybe there was something to Dion Jordan's minimal snaps on Friday. Doesn't look like he's practicing today.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 11, 2013
Dolphins QBs looking very sharp on sideline throws today. Ryan Tannehill to Rishard Matthews the highlight.
— Hal Habib (@gunnerhal) August 11, 2013
Takeaway from OL v. DL: Lance Louis & Dallas Thomas need lotsa work. Starters need work, too. OL remains weakness.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 11, 2013
DE Derrick Shelby having left leg examined by trainer. Doesn't appear serious. He's having nice camp.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 11, 2013
Practice almost over. No 11-on-11 today. Looks like cleaning up stuff from game. Lotsa individual drills, fundamentals.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 11, 2013
No 11 on 11 drills for #Dolphins today
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 11, 2013
Dolphins are playing a two-man game drill and Ryan Tannehill appears to making decisions slightly faster.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Nate Garner is having a good practice today. No 11-on-11s but you can tell he wants it.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Every offensive player is working on catching passes from the jugs after practice. pic.twitter.com/9QsIwrnvwZ
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Offensive line coach Jim Turner is working out DT AJ Francis as an offensive lineman. It is clearly a workout, tryout after practice.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
#Dolphins OC Mike Sheman says there were "8 or 9 times" play call in game suggested ball showed go to Mike Wallace vs. Jags.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 11, 2013
It appears the Dolphins are looking in-house for offensive tackle help. pic.twitter.com/wAZ15khMjG
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Mike Sherman said Samuda hurt his hand in Jax game
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 11, 2013
Mike Wallace caught no passes but Sherman cites need for better blocking to give enough time to get ball to him.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 11, 2013
Mike Sherman said the issues at guard hasn't allowed Miami to have the offensive line they want. "But we have to handle the issues."
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Mike Sherman said the tailback competition is pretty close. "Daniel Thomas did a good job (vs. Jaguars)." says he's looking for finer points
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
OC Mike Sherman says the RB competition is "pretty close." Mentions Thomas vs. Jags. Nobody believed me when I said this Friday.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 11, 2013
"The identity is we can run it when we have to run it, and can throw it when we have to throw it," Mike Sherman said of Dolphins offense.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
"Jonas Gray is playing well," Mike Sherman said. "I tell those guys all the time they have to be a factor on special teams to have a role."
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Sherman says blocking & catching will factor into play time at RB. "We need someone who does it all. We want complete players back there."
— Miami Dolphins (@MiamiDolphins) August 11, 2013
Joe Philbin said the plan is to begin to develop Dion Jordan for all 3 downs.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Joe Philbin said Will Davis needs to show more consistency, "and awareness on the field."
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Philbin on emphasizing takeaways: "I know the film reflects that our defense is doing a better job clubbing the ball, stripping the ball."
— Miami Dolphins (@MiamiDolphins) August 11, 2013
Joe Philbin says Nate Garner is "absolutely in the competiton" for starting RG job. But adds Josh Samuda "wasn't only issue" in OL struggle.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 11, 2013
Philbin on how much of the playbook is being used: "You might see 50 percent of our offensive schemes during preseason."
— Miami Dolphins (@MiamiDolphins) August 11, 2013
Joe Philbin said #Dolphins did not do any 11 on 11 drills today because he wanted to team to work on fundamentals.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 11, 2013
Not much to pick from on top performer. 1. Rishard Matthews (a big play). 2. Nate Garner (playing tough as RG) 3. Daniel Thomas (solid work)
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 11, 2013
Jonas Gray practicing a couple of days after his two-TD night. #FinsCamp http://t.co/T02ALGUgas
