Minicamp Reports - Day 1

Muck · May 1, 2009

One specific play that occurred during the Miami Dolphins' rookie minicamp should tell you everything you need to know about what Pat White can bring to this offense.

White calls out a shift during 11-on-11 drills, moving the tight end from his left side to his right. Cornerback Sean Smith takes a step or two forward before the ball is snapped.

When the play becomes live Anthony Armstrong, a speedy receiver who spent all of last year on the Dolphins' practice squad, runs a takeoff on the left side of the field.

Armstrong used his Arena League speed to get behind Smith, who admits he peeked into the backfield. White throws a beautiful 50-yards bomb that has great touch on it. Armstrong catches the ball in stride and strolls into the end zone for what would have been an ESPN worthy touchdown.

If only you'd have seen it! No worries, because I did, and so did every other media member that attended Friday's rookie minicamp.

Not surprised in this setting. Armstrong is going to burn just about everybody with his speed.

Ethan also has a short take and then more on quotes and issues.

Armando has a blog and a full list of the tryout players. His take and Omar's differ a bit on Wake.

And here's the Edgar Thompson's.

Davis lived up his reputation as a tough, physical cornerback by recording a few knockdowns Friday, including a body slam along of the sideline of practice squad WR Todd Lowber.

“I got in trouble for that,” Davis said. “Coach Sparano doesn’t want anybody on the ground.”

He also got a Pick-Six.

Nice reads, thanks! Nice to see Davis had what sounds like a good day.

Davis is already roughing up Wr's....I love it!

for those wondering why White wears gloves here it is:

It showed. (Interestingly, White wears two gloves. He said it’s a remnant of his days playing for West Virginia in frigid conditions that also helps him better grip the ball because “my hands aren’t the biggest.”)

2 picks? White is clearly a bust.

Wake looked like a man among boys at times.
