Today the Miami Dolphins are back on the practice field in training camp day two. Yesterday's practice was not as crisp as the team may have hoped, with several sacks allowed by the offensive line and a couple of botched snaps between quarterback Ryan Tannehill and new center Shelley Smith.
The team will be looking to put yesterday behind them today, and hopefully that is exactly what happens. If you are reading this, you probably aren't at the practice, but that doesn't mean you don't have a chance to go to the next one.

The offense line remains status quo. Albert, Colledge, Smith, Dallas Thomas, JaWuan James.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Michael Egnew is really the No. 2 TE now. The Dolphins are really applying the pressure to this 2012 third-round pick. Pop or get off pot

Everyone present and accounted for at Day 2 of training camp.

Sam Brenner is the #Dolphins' second-team center for second straight day. He looks like Plan B right now if Shelley Smith doesn't pan out.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) July 26, 2014
Nate Garner is still the 2nd team left tackle. I'm certain he'll be the break in case of emergency center if snap issues continue.

Ellerbe getting reps at nickel instead of Wheeler today. Starks and Mitchell the DTs.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) July 26, 2014
Daniel Thomas remains the 2nd team tailback and I'm curious to see if he's still running with a giddy up when pads come on.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Jarvis Landry really has good hands. I need to shake his hands to see how big they are.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Rookie defensive tackle Anthony Johnson has an elbow sleeve on his right arm. Making a mental note of this.

Lamar Miller is spending day two with the starters. No surprise there.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Top three receivers: Wallace, Hartline and Gibson. Don't envision that changing.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) July 26, 2014
Tannehill runs option on first 11-on-11 drill of the day.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
11-on-11...DTs Earl Mitchell and Randy Starks...on 1st play Tannehill runs on read option play. Nice.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
Now it's a reverse to Hartline...is the the #Dolphins?!
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
Now the read option handoff to Lamar Miller.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) July 26, 2014
Deep pass to a well covered Mike Wallace is too long. But Tannehill threw it far.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Dannell Ellerbe shadows the tight end. That's good to see.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
2nd team offense at the moment: Damian Williams & Armon Binns outside, Jarvis Landry in slot.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
Jelani Jenkins with a nice stop behind the line of scrimmage on a Darkwa Orleans.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Gibson makes a nice catch down the middle in traffic from Tannehill. He's working at full speed now should reclaim his slot job.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
Ryan Tannehill and Brandon Gibson have picked up right where they left off when the WR was hurt last season. Completion for combo now.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) July 26, 2014
Damien Williams with a nice draw run. He juked out Micajah Reynolds for the 10 yard gain.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Lamar Miller fumble on QB exchange...DE Terrence Fede recovers.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
Offense looked decent overall in that 11-on-11 session...coupla hiccups but much better than yesterday
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
Bad exchange between Pat Devlin and Lamar Miller.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
The Dolphins are doing 11 on 11s right in front of the fans this year, making it more fan friendly for attendees. pic.twitter.com/o9hrYTh9sc
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Derrick Shelby, who is working his way back from having his right knee scoped, is sparingly working. But he's working.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
The Dolphins pay plenty of attention to special teams, which is the often forgotten third phase of football. pic.twitter.com/CdADYWRzfF

Sunday's workout is a members-only affair and Monday is an off day for the players (and media!). So after today, next "open" day is Tuesday.

Former Dolphins LB/DE AJ Duhe checking out practice today.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
MLB Koa Misi looks good in drills. I know, I know...only a drill w/no pads but he seems 2 know what he's doing.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
More option for Tannehill today.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
They're working starters on near field & reserves on far field as opposed to both groups on same field.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
Lamar Miller looks spry, but judging RB without pads is almost pointless.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
Tannehill to Wallace over middle for big gain. Nice throw & catch.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
Big run by Orleans Darkwa on far field. He always seems to be making a play.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
Jarvis Landry, coming out of the slot, makes an impressive catch from Matt Moore
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
Daniel Thomas on run right. Nice play. Tannehill complimented Thomas yesterday, said was good in passing game.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
Will Davis just had a nice break up of a Tannehill pass. Davis again is looking strong in training camp. Can it translate to real success?
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
Prediction from @ACohenFins: Jarvis Landry will open up the season as Miami's slot receiver & return kicks.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
I still think Gibson opens up as the slot receiver but Landry gets plenty of snaps. Should be interesting.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
The second team safeties appear to be Jordan Kovacs and Don Jones, with Jones handling the FS role.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
The second team linebackers are Jelani Jenkins, Jason Trusnik (inside) and Jonathan Freeny. Still waiting for someone to impress me.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Damian Williams, Marcus Thigpen, Rantavious Wooten, and Brent Grimes are working as the returners. No Jarvis Landry (he's on coverage unit).
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Gibson (if fully healthy) opens up season as slot receiver, but lots of 4 WR sets with Landry, predicts @ojmcduffie81
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
Tannehill been fairly sharp today. Can't recall many penalties or dropped passes. .
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
There is a drone flying about the Dolphins practice. pic.twitter.com/SpAmCmRPIT

There's a drone at Dolphins camp today. They really are cutting edge.

Brian Hartline just dropped a pass from Tannehill during 7-on-7. Not a great throw.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Tannehll to Hartline on short pass...nice gain, well-executed.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
Tannehill just bulleted in a seam route to rookie tailback Damien Williams.

#Dolphins rookie WR Jarvis Landry is having a nice day with several catches.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) July 26, 2014
Rishard Matthews and Stephen Williams outside with Landry inside and Tannehill at QB 7 on 7s. First time I've seen that look.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
Ryan Tannehill is getting a lot better at throwing to his targets before they become open in 7-on-7. That's progress for him.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Daniel Thomas drops wide open throw from Matt Moore. Ouch.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
Just watched Daryn Colledge block Randy Starks during 1-on-1. That's how I tell if you're starter material.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Nice breakup by Jimmy Wilson on a short Tannehill pass to Brandon Gibson.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Pro Bowl DE Cam Wake beats rookie RT Ja'Waun James in one-on-one drills, as expected. #DolphinsTrainingCamp
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) July 26, 2014
OV beats Branden Albert for sack...excellent move by Olivier Vernon. Albert appeared surprised by OV's speed.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
WR Stephen Williams steps in front of Brent Grimes for a nice reception.
— Hal Habib (@gunnerhal) July 26, 2014
Stephen Williams caught a wobbling pass from Tannehill, beating Brent Grimes on a throw deflected at the line of scrimmage.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Tannehill just connected on a deep pass to Damien Williams for a 40 yard gain. Great diving catch.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Dion Jordan making more appearances on field in running situations. Maybe the kid is learning to play run better.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
Armon Binns just toe tapped a sideline pass from Matt Moore. Moore got a high five from his coach for the throw.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Tannehill pressure from both ends on that pass...Jordan vs. Nate Garner and Wake vs. Ja'Wuan James.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
Damian Williams with another nice move. Don't count this guy out of the WR competition.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
Damian Williams just caught a short pass, stopped, pivoted and juked Jamar Taylor for more yards. He's doing well today.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
The O is having a much better day today. WRs Mike Wallace, Jarvis Landry, Damian Williams all made multiple plays. A few nice runs as well.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) July 26, 2014
Marcus Thigpen, Damian Williams, Jarvis Landry, Rantavious Wooten and Brent Grimes are all fielding punts.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
I like this young receiver named Rantavious Wooten. He's really practice squad material. pic.twitter.com/Pcc4WL4tvg

Injured #Dolphins RB Knowshon Moreno is doing some light jogging in practice with a football in his hands.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) July 26, 2014
Jamar Taylor strips WR Rishard Matthews. LB Jason Trusnik recovers. Defense causing TOs. That's good.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
#Dolphins RB Lamar Miller with a nice catch out the backfield.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) July 26, 2014
Matt Moore pass glance off Charles Clay hands. Brent Grimes with the INT. Defense doing it again.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
#Dolphins CB Brent Grimes picks off QB Matt Moore in 7-on-7s. Grimes takes it to the house.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) July 26, 2014
Knowshon Moreno is doing some light jogging around the practice field. Mike Pouncey can only walk.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
#Dolphins' INT count today: CB Brent Grimes (one) and S Reshad Jones (one).
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) July 26, 2014
It should be pointed out both interceptions today have taken place during 7-on-7s.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Daniel Thomas too the first snap of the final 11 on 11 series. Dolphins are in one back, 2 TE set.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
So it appears Odrick limited today, Shelby not working, Jenkins in facility, Aaitui done for day.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
Charles Clay and Dion Sims are the two tight ends in the 2 TE set.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Cam Wake continues his mastery of Ja'Wuan James.
— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) July 26, 2014
Tannehill pass batted down. Gillislee nice job blocking vs. Dion Jordan.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
AJ Francis just batted down a Tannehill pass at the line of scrimmage and gave him the Mutombo finger wag.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Lamar Miller just caught a 16 yard pass from Matt Moore. Great adjustment to the ball.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
I've been impressed with what I've seen from Billy Turner on the 2nd team. Excited to see him put on pads tomorrow.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Matt Moore keeps on read option. Again, play-calling good today and execution good, too.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) July 26, 2014
Jarvis Landry doesn't drop balls.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 26, 2014
Marcus Thigpen just caught a nice pass over the middle of the field. He sneaks up on you as a playmaker.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 26, 2014
Ryan Tannehill can rifle out a sideline pass like it is nobodies business. A short out is on a rope to Kevin Cone.
