Sports Buzz : Dolphins' three OTA practices this week

One of Jackson's points was that Pat Devlin had really shown the improvement you'd hope for, but he's still playing better than Brock Jensen in these practices. I wonder if Miami takes a look at T.J. Yates, who was released by Houston today.

Yates at least has game experience, including playoff experience; something neither Devlin (preseason only) and Jensen (rookie) have. With Matt Moore only under contract for one more season, would it makes sense to take a look at Yates (familiarity with John Benton) as a #3 for this year and have him be Tannehill's backup in 2015? Perhaps you could stash Brock Jensen on the practice squad this year and bring him up to the 53, if inclined, in 2015?

Pure spit-balling on my part, but Yates strikes me as capable of having a brighter future, with Miami if signed, than Matt Moore, Devlin and Jensen.

 

Agreed. By this point if Devlin can't push Moore out the door, then he needs to go himself.

 

So Tannehill corrected 3 receivers today - Matthews, Ford, and Wooten.

No jokes that Tannehill "ranted" at Rantavious?

 

That was a kind of depressing read, but we'll have a better picture when the hitting really starts.

 

One would really have to question Devlin's worth if he's not better than Brock Jensen at this point, what with Devlin starting his 4th season. The real question should be if Devlin is worth keeping then why isn't he showing up Moore at this stage rather than beating out a rookie.

 

Well, Matt Moore, part Deux... I don't know that they make a change in backup guys, despite the cost of Moore, simply because Tanny is still reasonably cheap, the jury is still out on him and Yates will want to compete for a starting job, most likely...

 

Don't forget the year before Tannehill came into play Moore was MVP. I think it's going to be a money thing for him to go.
