I know im a bit early but the Players will report today...Tomorrow is the first Day of Camp open to the media...They start in the Inside the bubble and then move out on the Field... I'm pumped!!

lol. Na, I'm planning on going to practice on Saturday and am hoping to get to see a full padded practice! You can only take away so much from shells and shorts...
Things I'm excited about heading into camp: - These battles... Finnegan vs. Taylor, Jenkins vs. Wheeler , and Gibson vs. Matthews vs. Landry for the slot. - How serious are they about Wallace returning kicks? - How is Tannenhill's deep ball looking? - Will a depth running back finally step up and take Daniel Thomas' job? - Beyond Clay, who is in the plans at tight end? I know there is a ton of questions about the Guard and center positions, but 'excited' might be a stretch. It's more like driving by a car wreck... I'm afraid of what I might see, but I'm still going to turn my head and look.
Dave Hyde's 5 things were exactly what I want to see. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/sfl-hyde5-five-things-i-need-to-see-at-dolphins-camp-20140724,0,2389191.story
Andrew Abramson (PBP) rarely corrects third-hand reports of his stuff but this one was way off & I've seen it floating around ....* A). Andrew Abramson said there's a chance Brian Hartline could be gone in 2015, not 2014. B). Andrew Abramson said team could save $ without Brandon Gibson, but Andrew fully expects him back. Andrew Abramson does think the Dolphins head into the season with the best group of WRs in the AFC East. For now Andrew Abnramson is predicting Mike Wallace, Brian Hartline, Jarvis Landry, Brandon Gibson & Armon Binns on the 53-man roster. Andrew Abramson's guess: Armon Binns, Rishard Matthews, Hazel competing for 1 spot. Dolphins could keep 6 WRs if Thigpen or Williams is full-time return man. Andrew Abramson likes Rishard Matthews, he would just be a lil surprised if the Dolphins keep 6 WRs (unless one is full-time returner). And Armon Binns has height Miami lacks. Andrew Abramson also heard good things about Hazel but he seems like long-shot with this roster. Perfect practice squad guy if no one scoops him up.
OL OL OL and more OL. Any chance we have to improve on our record last year starts there. Followed somewhat by making sure our secondary is as good as last year or better.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero 7m Joe Philbin tells me no major injury worries re: Brandon Gibson, Knowshon Moreno. "Not full throttle 100% reps yet but won't be too long."
our 2 bookends arriving at camp OV has to watch out, flip flops and socks are a no go, he might get suspended for it iPad Air with Tapatalk HD
Ov...bigger...stronger...faster.. Dude has a ridiculous physique, I mean he was really strong when he came out, he must be freaky strong now... Jamar Taylor vrs Finnegan. Landry vrs Matthews vrs Gibson Watching Dallas Thomas. I want Moreno to start, you cannot be lining up all season in the backfield with Peyton manning unless your smart, can block, and can catch the football. Koa.. Those are my top 5 things to study when preseason games start.
Concerns: OL...Misi/LBs...Sophomores...Offense Timing...Finnegan Fun Watch: Bookends...Grimes...Rest of the D-Line...Clay...Landry Side Curiosity: Sturgis High Hopes: Michael Thomas
@JamesWalkerNFL 4m #Dolphins practice starts in the bubble for warmups. @AbramsonPBP 1m Shelley Smith at center, Colledge at LG, Dallas Thomas at RG to open camp @AbramsonPBP 41s Colledge experience and familiarity with Philbin makes it logical he will be a starter. Can Billy Turner challenge Dallas Thomas? @chrisperk 2m Dolphins take field w/C Shelley Smith, RG Dallas Thomas, LG Daryn Colledge on starting OL. @chrisperk 29s Dolphins have usual OTs - LT Branden Albert, RT Ja'Wuan James. Hal Habib @gunnerhal 1m Shelley Smith takes first snap at center in warmups. Darren Colledge at RG. @ArmandoSalguero 33s Newcomer Daryn Colledge is getting first team RG snaps in walkthru ... So is Colledge LG or RG? Pretty sad they can't figure it out. @chrisperk 1m Pouncey in shorts & T-shirt but not practicing. @ArmandoSalguero 3s Sam Brenner, a part-time starting G last season, is the second team C now.
Looks like it is LG for Colledge. @JamesWalkerNFL 12s #Dolphins first-team o-line during warmups without Mike Pouncey: RT James, RG Thomas, C Shelley Smith, LG Colledge, LT Albert.
Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz · 3m · Notable that dolphins have guard shelley smith open first practice as first team center instead of brenner. Colledge is first team at guard One a personal note I don't know why twitter did this but before I was able to copy a tweet and paste it in here and hit the submit button, all done in a matter of seconds, but know you have to clean up the tweet you paste in because there is about 50 line spaces between the information, just a pain in the ***
Chris Perkins @chrisperk · 30s · All #Dolphins players at practice today. Hickey said everyone passed conditioning test.
@JamesWalkerNFL 6m #Dolphins' RBs get ready for position drills. @AbramsonPBP 4m Perfect attendance to start practice. Pouncey and Moreno even here, stretching with teammates. #dolphins
@gunnerhal 2m Players hitting the field after warmups in the bubble. Stands maybe one-third full. Where is everybody? Working? @gunnerhal 1m Heat index already 101 as outdoor workouts begin. And that's not in the direct sun, either. Some serious sweating about to take place.
Chris Perkins @chrisperk · 2m · Nice run up middle by Lamar Miller, ur starting RB right now. Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley · 1m · Taylor and Davis second-team corners. Dion Jordan second-team right defense end. Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP · 3m · Tannehill rolling out of the pocket early in practice. Maybe this is the year they'll really give him the green light. Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley · 7m · Little rough so far. Egnew drop.
@chrisperk 8m TO on first snap. Fumbled snap on 2nd play. Offense a bit shaky to start. Of course it is!
Omar Kelly ✔ @OmarKelly Last year Dion Jordan couldn't defend the run because of his shoulder injury. This year he has no excuse. He's massive!
Dave Hyde @davehydesports Of Tannehill's first 4 passes, three would have been sacks. And away we go St Dolphins camp
Hey guys - sorry if this has already been shared, but here's an awesome article about the first Dolphins' camp in 1966. It's a pretty incredible read. Some great quotes by the guy in my avatar, too. http://www.foxsports.com/florida/st...-in-1966-defined-teams-rough-beginning-071913
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley Ellerbe has the third-highest APY on the Dolphins' defense, but for now is a situational player.
Omar Kelly ✔ @OmarKelly Jason Trusnik is the second team inside linebacker. Jelani Jenkins is the second team weakside linebacker.
@chrisperk 4m Will Davis breaks up deep ball from Tannehill to Wallace. Ball was underthrown. Here we go again.
