    For reals.

    "The Miami Dolphins have been searching for a dance partner to practice with in the exhibition season, and it appears the Carolina Panthers have extended an invite.
    The Dolphins and Panthers will hold joint practices Aug. 19-20 at Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The practices will lead up to both team's Aug 22 exhibition game at Bank of America Stadium.

    This will be the Dolphins' first practice partner in a decade. Miami had previously practiced against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the Dave Wannstedt era.


    The Panthers previously held joint training camp practices at Wofford College with the Detroit Lions in 2000.
    “I have a tremendous amount of respect for Coach (Joe) Philbin, and we’re excited to be working with the Dolphins,” Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said. “The Dolphins do some things differently on offense, defense and special teams so it will be an opportunity to work on all three phases of the game in controlled situations with really good tempo. Our players will see some different looks, and it will be a couple days of quality practice for us.”
    Practicing against an unfamiliar opponent gives a team a better opportunity to test the offense and defense because by week three of training camp teams become extremely familiar with their own plays. Holding joint practices gives the coaching staff and front office figures a better evaluation of their schemes, plays and overall roster.
    The Dolphins will open up training camp during the final week of July (an exact day has not been announced), and Miami plays its first exhibition game on Aug. 13 on the road against the Chicago Bears.
    The Panthers game is Miami's second exhibition game. Then comes the Aug. 29 exhibition game No. 3 dress rehearsal against the Atlanta Falcons, which the Dolphins will host at SunLife Stadium.
    Miami wraps up the exhibition season on Sept. 3 by hosting Tampa Bay before kicking off the regular season on Sept. 13 on the road against the Washington Redskins."

    It's about time. I have always wondered why we never do it, it makes a lot of sense.

    SICK, if you get the chance to go, go. I got to see the Bengals practice against the Saints before a preseason game a few years back when I worked for Anthony Munoz. We got to have the afternoon off and go watch the practice. It was great stuff, especially the O-line vs. D-line drills. Hopefully Miami and Carolina do that. Would love to see Jonathan Martin vs. Wake/OV.

    If they do any sort of scrimmage, there's bound to be some sort of fight.

    I'm sure Pouncey and our guards will welcome a nice short break from blocking Suh by then.

    Might this be part (or all) of the reason the Phins dropped the 3rd day of mini camp?

    I've been to several of these with other teams. They've all been really cool days to check out. Little extra buzz, guys competing, it's fun.

    I love the idea. I'm not looking forward to all the deep ball discussion that will result from the joint practices though.

    I've read training camp reports in both spots. Down here the fans and media are scouring for any hint of a deep ball, looking to see whether Tannehill threw it on target or not. If he completes one, people explode over it. Up there, the training camp reports will just say in a very non-chalant fashion that Newton completed three deep balls to so-and-so (e.g. Stephen Hill), and it's more a note about how Hill may actually make the team or some such. It's just so much more of a narrative, so much more of a storyline down in Miami...even though if you compare the deep completion+drop numbers of the two quarterbacks over time, they're actually pretty similar.

    If it pisses Tannehill off and motivates him I'm fine with hearing it.

    and hes adorable too. He feels bad, but its legit.....My mom asked what jersey he wanted for Christmas and he looks at me, waiting on disappointment and he says "daddy Id like a Tannehill jersey, but I REALLY REALLY want a Cam Newton jersey. Hes #1!! Like the best...#1. And all my friends have the jersey"

    I can't win against that. Kids cute though "I still like the Dolphins though, daddy!"

    Its sorta awesome he cares about bonding with you and your team.

    Even more awesome that you respect him developing his individuality.

    Don't let McLovin teach him to like the Pats though.

    Yeah at first my dad was all hard *** "Dont let that happen!!! Make him root for Miami"

    But I won't do that to my son. He needs to be his own person, Ill guide him. The only strict rule I had was no jets, bills, colts, Pats. He's good with that. He likes Wilson and the Seahawks too cause of their uniforms. Hes a cool kid.

    I never had that problem... I instead chose the Dolphins because they were beating my brother's favorite team at the time. I was 8.

    yeah it was a slippery slope with my kid as well because of how bad the dolphins have been since he's been alive, so at this point, he really could care less about football but roots for the dolphins..not sure whats worse....he hates the raiders and steelers and jets though so I think I have a good base, maybe he will start to care more as he gets older, but I highly doubt it..

    lil sickster..all good man..
