Going to be a full pads day today. #FinsCamp
— Jesse Agler (@finsjesse) August 12, 2013
8am practices are back. #Dolphins time.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 12, 2013
Randy Starks not at #Dolphins practice again. Dion Jordan here warming up but no word yet if he will practice.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 12, 2013
DT Randy Starks not at practice. TE Kyle Miller, S Keelan Johnson, RG John Jerry not working. #Dolphins
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Nate Garner warming up with first time o-line again. Looks like he has replaced Samuda as John Jerry's replacement for now.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 12, 2013
Full pads today. Not sure about tackling. Still indoors. Not sure yet if DE Dion Jordan fully active. #Dolphins
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
If you factor in the thought process that Rishard Matthews is safe then Chad Bumphis, Marvin McNutt & Brian Tyms are competing for 1 spot.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
#Dolphins WR Rishard Matthews working with second teamers in warm ups. In case you missed it, he returned to practice yesterday.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 12, 2013
Rookie DT AJ Francis, who worked out as a O-lineman yesterday, is still with the defensive players.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Second-year TE Kyle Miller is not working again today. He scored the 4th quarter TD vs Dallas and disappeared.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
With Randy Starks sidelined/absent this is Vaughn Martin's opportunity to earn a rotation spot, & Kheeston Randall's chance to make the 53.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Safety Keelan Johnson has a compression sleeve on his left leg, and isn't practicing for the second straight day.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Dion Jordan working on side. #Dolphins
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Richard Marshall is working as the starting CB today.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Dion Jordan was at practice, but he was just escorted out by one of the team's trainer.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
And now Jordan has left the bubble. Might be doing some rehab inside. But he's in uniform. Not sure what's up yet.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
I'm amazed each day at practice how small Brent Grimes is. But he plays big and with a ton of energy. #Dolphins
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 12, 2013
Ryan Tannehill just completed a pass to Brandon Gibson for a first down in 11-on-11.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Josh Samuda has returned to his old role as the backup center. Lance Louis is working as the 2nd team right guard.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
RJ Stanford just broke up a Matt Moore pass to Brian Tyms. No chance at an interception, but he tried.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Joe Philbin said Sun. "everyone" focused on Josh Samuda's poor play vs Jax but he wasn't only issue. Well he's only one whose off 1st team.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 12, 2013
Bottom line #Dolphins RG spot won't be fully solved until John Jerry gets healthy AND in shape again. Garner is solid, however.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 12, 2013
Dolphins contenders for a gunner role. pic.twitter.com/BNfdMTyc5t
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Looks like Dion Jordan won't be outside again today. He only played 7 snaps vs. Jaguars. #Dolphins

I see the improvement from Jonathan Martin as a run blocker. Check him out in motion. pic.twitter.com/5hvO4Cj7KS
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Outside practice has begun. Like in warm ups, Garner is running with the first teamers at RG. #Dolphins
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 12, 2013
A firmly believe this Dolphins offensive line with be a better run blocking unit than last year. pic.twitter.com/b7v0f2dIMB
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Nate Garner remains the RG du jour. other starting OL also same--C Pouncey, LG Incognito, LT Martin, RT Clabo.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Mike Wallace working on his one-handed catches. pic.twitter.com/RrP8aw7Ehb
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
I'm going to conservatively predict Mike Wallace will be in the 900 yards and 7 touchdown range. Just a guess. pic.twitter.com/OZoY2dm7KG
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
John Jerry looks pretty tiny right here. See the irony? pic.twitter.com/bVCzazit2U
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
#Dolphins back to working two sides of field w/passing game w/healthy Devlin. running plays at fast pace on both ends.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
T'hill & Moore throwing on big kid field (1st & 2nd team). Devlin throwing on little kid field (others).
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
I'm watching AJ Francis this week. I'm developing a slight crush. He's got potential as a NT. Worth a practice squad investment IMO.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Got to admit, I'm not really sure about Jorvorskie Lane's status anymore. He's not playing bad, but everyone is working ahead of him now.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
FBs Jorvorskie Lane & Evan Rodriguez getting lots of work. Thinking only 1 stays & they trying 2 make decision soon.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Dion Jordan is not practicing for the second straight day, and his rehab work is being done inside.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
At this point I'm wondering if everyone's push to see Dion Jordan against the run has made him regress physically with the shoulder?
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Don't understand idea behind having Mike Wallace in 7 on 7 group catching from Matt Moore n Ryan Tannehill throwing to Tyms or Fuller.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 12, 2013
Ryan Tannehill and all the QBs are working on their ball placement. pic.twitter.com/1v6kZ71gLl
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Ryan Tannehill and Mike Wallace need to be practically living together and sharing thoughts. Not working on different groups.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 12, 2013
Tannehill and Moore taking turns throwing passes to each other in the end zone as they warm up. Moore did a celebratory arm pump on a catch
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 12, 2013
Reshad Jones and the safeties are working on their ball skills. If he replicates last year's season would u be happy? pic.twitter.com/wqmBnbzF1S
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
CB Jamar Taylor active again, least 4 individual drills. Haven't done 11-on-11 yet. Taylor appears healthy, however.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
OL worked hard blocking inside rush (C, RG, LG) yesterday. Focusing on blocking outside rush (RT, LT, TE) today.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Randy starks has made first appearance in more than a week. Compression sleeve on leg. Not practicing. Knee issue
— Barry Jackson (@flasportsbuzz) August 12, 2013
DT Randy Starks & DE Dion Jordan just went from facility to bubble w/trainer. Rehab. 1st Starks sighting in week.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Just saw Koa Misi light up Evan Rodriguez then walk away from inside run drill looking woozy. Hasn't returned yet.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Btw, Jordan was in pads in bubble. Not now. After stretching Jordan told trainer "I was told 2 c u."
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
RG John Jerry, TE Kyle Miller joining Starks & Jordan in bubble. Rehab work. #Dolphins
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Mike Wallace leaps up and catches a deep one from Matt Moore in 1 on 1s. On far side of field, didn't see who was on him. Nice grab.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 12, 2013
Jared Odrick dominates his run drill vs Nate Garner and then gets a pound from Kacy Rodgers. Having an amazing camp. Clearly the starter
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Koa Misi is fine. He's doing 11-on-11.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Dimitri Patterson is now the starting CB with Brent Grimes. That CB position, FB and RG appears to be the only unsettled battles.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
WR Jeff Fuller drop slant from T'hill. Gotta make that catch 2 make roster.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Just saw Daniel Thomas blocks Phillip Wheeler so hard he lost his helmet, but protected Your Chosen One. That's why he's here.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Nolan Carroll and Will Davis are clearly the second-team CBs.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
False start on Tracy Robertson, who has disappeared for a while in camp. Not good.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
AJ Francis just makes a tackle In the backfield on a Mike Gillislee run, not one person touched him.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Shocked how defense has fearless attitude. blitzed on 2nd & 2 v. Jags. Blitzing again today.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Another Jonas Gray run stuffed by AJ Francis. My crush grows.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Mike Wallace just makes a 1st down catch on Brent Grimes. Grimes acts like it is the end of the world.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Tannehill throws to Wallace in double coverage, Wallace comes up with it for about 10 yd gain. #Dolphins
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 12, 2013
Jailbreak blitz on Ryan Tannehill. Six defensive players unblocked. SIX. What where they doing?
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Dustin Keller tip toes a sideline catch for Ryan Tannehill. NICE!
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Tannehill getting time to throw today. #Dolphins
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 12, 2013
T'hil looking good today, hitting TEs & WRs. Not throwing behind guys, no happy feet. OL ok so far.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Third and 5 at the 10 and Tannehill misfires on a wheel route to Marcus Thigpen.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Did I mention i'm amazed at how often defense blitzes? S Reshad Jones might as well be LB.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Two straight powerful red zone runs from Daniel Thomas.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Marcus Thigpen is the primary kickoff returner and Nolan Carroll and Mike Gillislee are his backups. Special teams is the key to the 53.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Jorvorskie Lane remains the primary kickoff return lead blocker. When he loses that role I'd predict he loses his roster spot.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Carpenter. 44 yd FG from middle of field. Good. Strong kick.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Defense doing lots of work in nickel. Same DBs as usual -- Grimes & Patterson on boundary, Marshall in slot.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Daniel Thomas with a nice sideline catch and showed some good burst. Who is having a good practice you ask?
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Been liking what I see from Daniel Thomas in practice lately. Showing some speed, not fumbling. #Dolphins
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 12, 2013
Defense also shows pressure a lot & backs out. Very aggressive style by Coyle. Hope DBs can play on back end.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Ellerbe intercepts a Matt Moore pass. No turnovers for Tannehill today. #Dolphins
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) August 12, 2013
Lamar Miller goes untouched for a 2-yard touchdown run, during this goal line, red zone day. D-line collapsed pocket, Miller gots to left.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Carpenter 49 yds. Left hash. Good. Both his kicks been well-struck into maybe 10 mph wind.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Will Yeatman is back as the second team left tackle. I approve this message.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
RG Lance Louis on field. Positive sign. Doesn't mean fully healthy. Again, they're not tackling today. But good sign.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Dan Carpenter's 54-yard field goal is short. At this point he's merely trade bait. Competition is really over.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013

Pat Devlin just threaded the seams to Rishard Matthews.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Dimitri Patterson slaps down a pass to Brian Hartline. He really can play!
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Tannehill to Wallace deep in a 7 on 7. Better.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 12, 2013
OL v DL: Pouncey pancakes Francis. They yap face 2 face afterward & get separated. No big deal. But Pouncey dominated.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
OL v DL: Robertson beat Garner badly, Martin draw w/Garner, incognito beats Odrick, Martin beats Vernon. OL decent today
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Watching Lamar Miller pass block Phillip Wheeler. He got in the way good enough. But it wasn't a block.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Good day 4 offense. OL picking up blitzes reasonably well. T'hill in sync w/receivers especially Keller in middle.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Kinda fascinated w/offense. diverse in practice. Philbin said only show 50% preseason. I believe it based on practices.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) August 12, 2013
Matt Moore just completed a 40-yard pass to Kenny Stafford, who beat RJ Stanford. Say that one twice fast.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Matt Moore with a 14-yard pass to Michael Egnew, setting up a first-and-goal at the 2. Will they punch it in?
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Matt Moore with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Mike Gillislee. Practice over. Matt Moore with the kill.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
League source says Dion Jordan is nursing shoulder injury. He had shoulder surgery in February. Hasn't practiced in two days.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 12, 2013
Dion Jordan injury not considered overly serious.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 12, 2013
"We're taking some precaution with Dion (Jordan)..We have a plan in place. we'd like to see as much of him as we can but we're going to be..
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
...cautious as we preceed," Kevin Coyle said of Dion Jordan.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Kevin Coyle said his defense will usually keep 5 or 6 CBS on the 53 man roster. Depends on CBS and if they have safeties to develop.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
Coyle says his defense likes to be on the attack: "We're an aggressive team. We have a lot of pressure in our packages."
— Miami Dolphins (@MiamiDolphins) August 12, 2013
Joe Philbin said the team plans to increase Jamar Taylor's workload, but he said he's still making progress in the classroom.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) August 12, 2013
DC Kevin Coyle said DE Dion Jordan had not gotten enough work to challenge for starting job. Jordan missing more time with shoulder injury.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 12, 2013
So Olivier Vernon joins Cam Wake as the starting DEs, barring unexpected circumstance.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) August 12, 2013
