Mini Camp starts today. The final step before training camp. I'll be there all 3 days to offer insight.
— Andy Cohen (@ACohenFins) June 17, 2014
A bit of a wet morning here in Davie. It could be a "bubble" day at the #Dolphins facility. We will see.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) June 17, 2014
It appears Dion Sims is at the front of the line when it comes to tight ends not named Charles Clay.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Jared Odrick is practicing, at least as of now.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) June 17, 2014
Odrick is the starting DT alongside Randy Starks.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) June 17, 2014
Watching Michael Egnew flex out, which is exactly how he was used at Missouri. This offense fits him better. But will he be tough enough?
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Jason Fox is working as the second team left tackle. Bill Turner is his partner. Keep in mind Turner can also play left tackle.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
The following players will be trying out during minicamp: T- Ramon Harewood C- Kevin Matthews T- Mike Farrell DB- Kevin Fogg P- Andy Wilder
— Miami Dolphins (@MiamiDolphins) June 17, 2014
The 2nd team receivers are Armons Binns, Stephen Williams and Jarvis Landry in the slot.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Perfect attendance as Dolphins open up minicamp

Bubble practice today. Nasty rain across South Florida #Dolphins

This Demetrius Wright is a very impressive looking athlete. He's listed at 6 feet, 203 but looks bigger.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
There is your beloved Jordan Kovacs making a pre-practice catch during stretches. He looks bigger this year. pic.twitter.com/aC6INRzYFa

Ryan Tannehill and #Dolphins' QBs do individual drills. I'm curious to see if RT has a strong practice pic.twitter.com/IdIimFFDp0

Joe Philbin is watching practice from midfield, switching from offense to defense. Rarely defense though. pic.twitter.com/q7ZcSKp2rY

#Dolphins GM Dennis Hickey is watching the o-line closely to start mandatory minicamp. Will this group step up this year?

#Dolphins HC Joe Philbin is bouncing around station to station. He just gave rookie OL Billy Turner personal instruction.

I'm watching Brandon Gibson practice with the team. This is new. Will keep you posted on how much work he does.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Sam Brenner remains the second team center. I guess this move is sticking, but Tyler Larsen is right on his heels.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
WR Brandon Gibson seems 2 b doing more today. Nothing full speed but more individual & skeleton drills.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
Jared Odrick has a helmet on and did individual stuff. Will he be doing team work, which is up next? pic.twitter.com/wrXC1CeoMd
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Dallas Thomas and Shelley Smith still the first team guards.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) June 17, 2014
Lamar Miller still with first teamers at Dolphins practice
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) June 17, 2014
Doesn't look like Odrick is doing team stuff.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) June 17, 2014
The outside linebackers are swapping and Dannell Ellerbe is mirroring the tight ends.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
#Dolphins Pro Bowl C Mike Pouncey is present but not participating in team drills early in practice. Sam Brenner is the starting center.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) June 17, 2014
Lamar Miller remains the starting tailback. Then behind him is Daniel Thomas. Surprise, surprise.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Brandon Gibson is doing team stuff. First we've seen of it.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) June 17, 2014
Daniel Thomas second back in.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) June 17, 2014
#Dolphins WR Brandon Gibson is doing some team drills today. This is a first in practices open to the media.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) June 17, 2014
Just watched Michael Egnew destroy Jelani Jenkins on a block of a hitch pass. Jaw dropping!
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Orleans Darkwa with a nice outside run. Actually had to look up who No. 3 is.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
I have a feeling Moreno/Miller will be like Miller/Thomas last year when Philbin never names a true starter even tho we know who's better.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) June 17, 2014
Doesn't look like Jamar Taylor is doing team drills. Jalil Brown in w the 2s instead.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) June 17, 2014
Dolphins working on RB drills. So far it's been Miller and Thomas with Tannehill and then Darkwa with Matt Moore.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) June 17, 2014
I'm liking what I see from Dallas Thomas at LG. No pads yet, but he's a totally different player. Just targeted Kovacs on 2nd level.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Also telling: Walt Aikens isn't one of the top five corners on the depth chart right now.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) June 17, 2014
Nice reverse Daniel Thomas to Mike Wallace
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) June 17, 2014
Jamar Taylor blows up a Mike Wallace end around for a loss. Earl Mitchell was in the backfield but got faked out by Wallace-Tannehill.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
I stand corrected. Jamar is now working team drills. Mix and match lineup.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) June 17, 2014
Harold Haskins is working with the 2nd team offense, but he just drew a holding call on a Mike Gillislee outside run.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Appears Odrick & Gibson still limited. Neither doing 11-on-11.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
Pat Devlin gets stopped behind the line by Dion Jordan on a QB scramble. Insert womp-womp sound.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
This Stephen Williams guy is like Brandon Marshall big. pic.twitter.com/wVNjnxQCQh
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Moreno is participating in footwork drills but didnt appear to partake for some reason in RB drills with the QBs.

Here's the best kept secret in the NFL. Special teams is your key to making the 53. pic.twitter.com/Ks3wbGdTYP

Dolphins WRs Brian Hartline, Stephen Williams and Mike Wallace pic.twitter.com/xicA6waGGa
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) June 17, 2014
Rookie Walt Aikens can move for a DB his size. Let's see when the pads come on, but he's flashing athleticism.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) June 17, 2014
Again, not a fan of Walt Aikens as a cornerback. He need a lot of work, or to move to safety. Footwork is not impressive.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
RB Knowshon Moreno appears a bit slimmer in the waist. Also seems to be getting more 1st team reps.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
Now Taylor is working w the 1s instead of Finnegan.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) June 17, 2014
CB Jamar Taylor getting 1st team look instead of Finnegan. No serious battle, I don't think. But speaks well 4 Taylor.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
Another would-be sack on QB Ryan Tannehill. Good push up the middle w/Mike Pouncey not in there for team drills. #DolphinsMinicamp
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) June 17, 2014
Taylor stays w/1st team in nickel.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
It is pretty consistent that Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas are playing ahead of Knowshon Moreno.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
LG Dallas Thomas continues to work with first team
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) June 17, 2014
NICE run by Lamar Miller, right up the gut on a draw. Would have been a TD. Didn't see anyone touch him before whistle was blown.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Second straight good run by Lamar Miller to the right. This damage is being done on the 2nd team D-line.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Mike Wallace has comes out of backfield for a 10-yard catch, but gets blown up by Jordan Kovacs, who draws praise from Jimmy Wilson.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Louis Delmas drops a would-be interception of Tannehill's last pass. A floater over the middle of the field. No WR is even around.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
I just saw a new wrinkle for #Dolphins WR Mike Wallace. OC Bill Lazor is still cooking in the kitchen to see what works.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) June 17, 2014
Jimmy Wilson gets a would-be sack on Matt Moore. He's quick on the safety blitzes. Playmaker!
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Lamar Miller getting involved in the passing game today. Definitely an area he needs to improve from last year.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) June 17, 2014
Jordan Kovacs jumps a route and nearly pulls down an INT. Dropped it.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
#Dolphins DB Jalil Brown gets the pick six off QB Matt Moore.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) June 17, 2014
To clarify earlier tweet Daniel Thomas continues to spell Lamar Miller. Knowshon Moreno continues to be odd man out.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) June 17, 2014
Marcus Thigpen looks REALLY quick running routes with the receivers.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Knowshon Moreno lacks the suddenness I expect from a starting tailback. Maybe he transforms when pads come on. pic.twitter.com/WmC6pXLD5V
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Nice catch by Brandon Gibson going up high on sideline.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
WR Matt Hazel looks good every time I see him. #Dolphins
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
Another thing I'm learning about Bill Lazor's O: RBs will be included in the passing game. They better be ready to catch better in 2014.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) June 17, 2014
If you want a pretty looking tailback...it doesn't get any better looking than Daniel Thomas. But looks deceive. pic.twitter.com/7zxlqCJCGz
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Brandon Gibson has indeed done some 11 on 11 work today. Not a lot, but some. Most we've seen of him this spring.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) June 17, 2014
Odrick going w/1st team in drill. No action, just walkthru stuff.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
#Dolphins Pro Bowl offensive linemen Mike Pouncey and Branden Albert are coaching up young Dallas Thomas in between reps. #GoodIdea
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) June 17, 2014
Mike Pouncey isn't working today. Looks like a precautionary thing.

— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Time for 7-on-7, the moment of truth for Ryan Tannehill.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Tannehill's first pass during 7-on-7 is a checkdown to Miller.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
BTW, Lamar Miller is still the #Dolphins' first-team RB. It looks to stay that way heading into training camp.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) June 17, 2014
Tannehill's second pass is a throw over the middle to Dion Sims that Koa Misi deflects.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Tannehill's third pass is a completion to Stephen Williams, but a flag is thrown (offsides, likely).
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Tannehill's 4th pass and 5th pass is over the middle to Mike Wallace for respectable gains that might produce a 1st down.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Tannehill looking sharp I'm skeleton drill (skelly).
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
Tannehill still hasn't thrown deep 2 Wallace much in front of media. Had chance but Reshad & Wilson had coverage.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
Moore's 1st pass is a sideline throw to Arthur Lynch, who slips on the play. Small gain.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Matt Moore's 2nd pass is checkdown to Mike Gillislee up the gut of the defense. Gillislee has room for RAC
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Moore's next pass is inside drag to Lamar Miller for short gain.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Defense forces a checkdown to Orleans Darkwa on Moore's next throw. Kevin Coyle is screaming "nice job" at all the checkdown.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Tannehill is back. Brian Hartline drops his first pass of his second 7-on-7 rep. Come on blankie!
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Ellerbe getting look at MLB with Jenkins at SLB & Wheeler at WLB.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
Great breakup by Jonathan Freeny on a nice sideline throw from Tannehill to Mike Gillislee. He was throwing him open. BOLD throw.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Steven Clarke nearly intercepts a Tannehill pass. The receiver knocks it out at the last second.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Tannehill pumps twice before throwing underneath to Charles Clay.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Dolphins might be seriously considering Aikens at safety. Getting work there. Also the slot.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) June 17, 2014
Bill Lazor is IN CHARGE of this #Dolphins offense. Very demanding & makes the most of every drill. If he's not happy, they do it again
— Greg Likens (@GregLikens) June 17, 2014
NICE comeback from Jarvis Landry. Pat Devlin put the sideline pass on the money. Respectable throw.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
DB Steven Clarke lines up w/1st team nickel & almost gets pick. Rookie making Vanderbilt proud.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
Very good route by #Dolphins rookie Jarvis Landry to make the catch and the first down.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) June 17, 2014
Pat Devlin's final pass of 7-on-7 was to Harold Hoskins for maybe a 5-yard gain. Defense dominated 7-on-7.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
LB Jordan Tripp very active. Not sure yet if he can play but he's athletic. Has good energy. #Dolphins
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
Appears to be a third down drill. Tannehill's first throw is to Hartline. It is short of the first down. Defense celebrates. Seeks applause
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Jamar Taylor very active today just had INT. Fighting hard for that starting spot.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) June 17, 2014
Cortland Finnegan is not practicing in the final few sessions. Jamar Taylor is working with the starters.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Brandon Gibson just caught two straight passes from Tannehill during 7-on-7s. Guess he's working, just not doing team drills.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Matt Moore threaded the needle over the middle to a falling Armon Binns. Coaches yell to WRs telling them to get open.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
CBs Walt Aikens & Jalil Brown at 2d team. CB Will Davis at 2d team nickel. Normally Jamar Taylor at Aikens spot.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
Stephen Williams drops a Tannehill pass. Not perfectly placed, but an NFL receiver brings it in.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Now Will Davis with the 1s. Everybody getting a look today.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) June 17, 2014
Tannehill's first play of this 11-on-11 session is a 2-yard gain on a throw to Wallace. Misi would have blown him up.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
They're not in pads but Gibson hit on the shoulder as he makes a catch. Good sign that he's out here practicing a month before training camp
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) June 17, 2014
Tannehill's second play would have been a sack. Couldn't see if it was Vernon or Misi. A 50-something was in the backfield.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Tannehill threaded the needle on a beautiful 20-yard throw to Charles Clay. Great pass on third down.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Damian Williams drops Tannehill's final pass. Jalil Brown was on the coverage. Matt Moore time now.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Lamar Miller drops Matt Moore's first pass. Safety blitz demanded it, but two defenders were in Miller's grill running full speed.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Nice catch by TE Michael Egnew on side of field w/3rd & 4th teams. Wonder where he'll fit in this yr.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
Brandon Gibson just converted a first down for Moore. Dannell Ellerbe was roasted covering Gibson. Wasn't pretty. Struggled turning.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Lots of work on nickel defense today.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
Tannehill throws a ball where no receiver is close. He gets in Rishard Matthew's face and yells "keep playing!"
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Not a good look for Rishard Matthews. Gives up on a play but Tannehill throws in his direction. RT gets in his ear: "Hey, keep playing!"
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) June 17, 2014
#Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill gets frustrated with WR Rishard Matthews on a broken play. Tannehill gets in his ear after the play.

Another 11-on-11 session. Tannehill completes to Armon Binns on a drag. Third and 5 now.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Nice, outstretched catch by #Dolphins WR Brian Hartline, maybe the catch of the day.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) June 17, 2014
Hartline just caught a nice slant from Tannehill on third-and-8. Today is a third down day. Defense is using speed package.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Speed package on field w/Shelby & Jordan. Vernon & Wake also on fields. Nickel secondary.

Terrence Fede with a nice interception of a Matt Moore pass. Very athletic run after the catch. Showed some vert for the ball.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 17, 2014
Wow. Rookie DL Terrence Fede with an athletic, leaping INT off #Dolphins QB Matt Moore. Defensive player celebrate.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) June 17, 2014
DE Terrence Fede INT in zone blitz. Goes up high. Think every draftee done something today. Nice showing by da kids.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 17, 2014
Jarvis Landry just made a nice diving catch from Matt Moore.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) June 17, 2014
Second time I'm watching Will Davis work as the nickel. He just got roasted by Jarvis Landry on a 20-yard reception. His man is always open.
