Dolphins Scrimmage 08/02/14

Landry, at this point in my view, is pretty much automatic.

I want the offense to do well, but I don't want to hear about a bunch of missed tackles. No bad snaps would be nice, as it would make 2 practices in a row and show progress. For the offensive side I'm mainly hoping for minimal or no missed routes by the receivers or blown assignments on the line. My main trepidation about the year is how fast they can master the system.

I think our secondary is scary good. If Grimes doesn't fall off the planet, Jones plays somewhere between last year and 2012 (closer to 2012 would be awesome), and Finnegan/Delmas can avoid injury, man....I expect to hear about a few of those names today. If Tripp/McCain can keep at it and improve, I like the LB depth compared to previous.

Lastly I'd like to hear about Misi making the right calls at mike. He's show the determination and dedication that, to me, ALL players should strive to copy. I just hope it fully transfers to the field.

A live report coming up on NFLN.

Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
No Jenkins today. He had his leg wrapped yesterday.

Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP

Chris Perkins @chrisperk

Appears 1st-team OL today is C Garner. RG Turner, RT James, LG Colledge, LT Albert. Turner is new starter.

Very interesting with Turner. Garner did alright when he played center last year. We just lose backup flexibility with him starting until Pouncey comes back.

Heh 1's vs the 2's. Not trying to confidence boost now are they? ;p

@AbramsonPBP 26s
Clay is limping off the field.

Mutha.........................

3rd-and-4 from the 23, Dolphins hand off to Daniel Thomas who only picks up 2.

Man I'm hoping one of the new kids can at least show some inside moves....Thomas needs to go.

@AbramsonPBP 8s
Lamar Miller 9-yard TD reception.

Miller/Matthews the stars of that drive..........well stars against #2's anyways ;p Or as Abram says it after Dion converts the 2pt:

@AbramsonPBP 11s
If every NFL defense is equivalent to the Dolphins' 2nd-team defense, Miami's offense will dominate.

I think they might've have needed a confidence boost... from these tweets, looks like the offense is doing a good job, now let's see it against the 1st team defense.

Hal Habib @gunnerhal

Most important thus far: Charles Clay is pacing back and forth on sideline, trying to walk it off. Just threw a towel against the bench.

It's a scrimmage...anyone gets nicked they'll be safe and pull 'em. Good to hear it seems to be nothing though.

Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley

Clay still on the sidelines, but without a helmet. Would appear his day is done.

what's with all the injuries

2nd team offense went 3 and out against 1st defense...so they are doing it again. Ouch lol.

Edit: Better start this time. Hoping this kid shows something. Screw D.T.

@JamesWalkerNFL 12s
#Dolphins backup RB Damien Williams, one of my sleepers, with a nice first-down run on the first-team defense.

@AbramsonPBP 39s
Gator Hoskins makes a nice catch with Brent Grimes in coverage. Dolphins 2nd team O is driving

Gator sighting...and on Brent to..nice.

Ok now the 2nd team offense is really moving on the starting d:

@AbramsonPBP 6s
Mike Gillislee makes a couple defenders miss, gains 9 yards.

Miami Dolphins ✔ @MiamiDolphins

.@millertime_6 running hard today. Just hauled in a catch for 6.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk

RB damien Williams excellent cutback on 10-yd run. Nice job using zone blocking

James Walker ✔ @JamesWalkerNFL

Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP

I don't know who Devlin was looking for when he threw to the sideline. Uphill battle for him to keep his roster spot IMO

Chris Perkins @chrisperk

Devlin inc...Jimmy Wilson called for interference vs. Thigpen. Nice pass by Devlin, put it where it needed to be.

@JamesWalkerNFL 25s
Going back to Ryan Tannehill's TD throw to Lamar Miller, MIA's red-zone concepts on O are much better than a year ago. #BillLazor

I'll wait to hear from our guys here, if they are there, on that one.

James Walker ✔ @JamesWalkerNFL

Story early on............first team LB's still suck vs the run.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk

Devlin inc...going for Damian Williams in back of end zone...grimes on coverage. Nice job...now 4th down

@chrisperk 42s
It's 3s vs. 3s now...

Oh joy ;p

Why is NFLN all overt Manzel. Why is that issue so important now. Why does Sports coverage suck A$$ How about showing live scrimmages around the league? Are they not capable of providing coverage of their sport? Obviously not.
