@JamesWalkerESPN Hot day in Davie. #Dolphins starting practice today in the bubble for warmups but will probably go outside. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
@OmarKelly Miami Dolphins Minicamp UPDATES - Day 2 (the action is just getting started) http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/...nicamp-updates-day-2-20130612,0,1181707.story Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
@OmarKelly Randy Starks is getting pre-practice snaps with the 2nd team D-line, where he's paired with Kheeston Randall. Interesting that he's still getting no. 2 reps. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Pretty much... Think there's a chance in hell Odrick goes over him? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I'd imagine come week 1 that Jared Odrick and Randy Starks will both be starting, along with Paul Soliai and Cameron Wake.
@JamesWalkerESPN TE Michael Egnew is still lining up with the first team today. Looks like Dustin Keller is still banged up. #Dolphins Really hope it's nothing bad. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I hope not... I am curious what our pass defense stats were by down (1st, 2nd, 3rd). And where Odrick lined up (DE vs DT) by down. PFF has Odrick with a -19.8 rating in pass rush. That is good enough for 60th out of 62 4-3 defensive ends.
That's the thing, I don't think they view Jared Odrick as a pass-rushing end. I think he's more of an oversized DE that's meant to stop the run. I think it's a schematic preference based on some of Kevin Coyle's influences. I think that's why we now have Dannell Ellerbe and Philip Wheeler to add that pass-rush in the base packages. If they were able to find a guy like Carlos Dunlap, who is 6'6" 285lbs and is a phenomenal athlete, yeah, I think he'd be starting at DE over Odrick. Miami doesn't have that guy in my opinion. I think it's a fundamental part of what they want to do defensively as they incorporate a lot of 3-4-esque stuff into the defense. Obviously, I'm basing that off of last year. I'm not too impressed with Olivier Vernon as a DE, but I do like him as a drop LB in sub packages like he was used last year. Playing Dion Jordan as a pure DE out of a 3-point stance right off the bat would be a mistake IMO. He's more dynamic than he is a pass-rusher, and I think he's better suited standing up. He even says he prefers to play standing up.
I think there is a better chance of Vernon starting over Odrick at DE than Odrick starting over Starks at DT.
I also liked Vernon when used in that drop LB role. He made some plays doing that. The young man can cover some ground.
@AdamHBeasley Jeff Ireland and Brian Gaine are both out at practice today. Who’s tending to Vonta?!? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
i´ve noticed armando only tweets about NBA these days...whats up with him, maybe he did receive some kind of penalty ?
If you look at last year toward the end of the season, they ran a lot of 3-3-5 nickel stuff. You could see this: RDE - Vernon DT - Starks or Odrick LDE - Wake RLB - Jordan MLB - Ellerbe LLB - Wheeler
its stupid, although we don´t know how much work he would get because of his injury anyways, but mental reps are important too
No. But I do believe Odrick will get a healthy rotation on the inside as opposed to the outside. I think that decision has been made. Odrick had been saying that if he was going to stay outside at end that he would lose weight to get better at what he needed to do. Well, he hasn't lost any weight, it doesn't look like...
He could be with them, they may be showing Vonta the facilities and Beasley didn't see or recognize him..
I'd like to see maybe a Quarters package or 3-3-5 with Odrick at DT, Vernon at End, and DJ at LB. I think that could cause some mismatches in the passing game!
It is not only interesting that Starks is still getting 2nd team reps (they may be sending a message re: a long term contract or they may be easing him in since they don't know what kind of football shape he is in or a little of both) but also he is paired with Kheeston Randall and not Vaughn Martin?? I figured they signed Martin to replace McDaniel and he would be the third/fourth DT not Randall? Is Martin with the third team? Had he been with the second team until now?
they finally start to tweet again... so the question is, what is presley doing in there with mike wallace on offense, did he got a promotion or where they playing prevent ? so walker says gibson had the best day and omar says binns is taking snaps away from him practice is over, they are on to interviews, philbin is talking, I rather don´t tweet pieces from these interviews, since i like to see them fully in picture, maybe you like to do the same
well the solution is there..he is on vacation, at least that was he is saying, maybe he got suspended ? Link
