Training Camp 8/14

I'd prefer they let Jordan sit out as a precaution and see if they can get him some playing time in week 4.

 

Good to see Jerry back at RG, hope he kept the weight off during the injury. Would prefer to see a healthy Samuda competing for that spot too.

 

Wow, our RG's are getting knicked this TC.

 

Hope Jerry re-earns the job at RG this year (and that he improves on last year).

 

Thank goodness Jerry is back. Hope its not rushed.

 

tired of getting my hopes up for Nate Garner every year. at this point, IMO, we should cut him and just develop Samuda and Thomas to be our backups this year.

 

Sweet. Hoping to see ALOT of Will Davis in the next few games.

 

Not good. Jeff Darlington tweets that he's heard that Nate Garner hurt his shoulder "bad" on Monday.

On the other hand, John Jerry evidently has returned to toss his hat back in the ring for the job. Josh Samuda taking the 1st team reps though as I imagine they're going to work Jerry back in slowly. Samuda lives to fight another day. I'd still honestly like to see him run away with it in the game against the Texans. He will be challenged. He had a hand injury that happened on one of the very first plays of the Jags game and that could explain why he did poorly.

 

Tannehill to Keller is going to be ****ing lights out this year. Then guess what happens? Safety starts creeping, and Wallace hits the nitrous!!!!

 

This right guard position really turning out to be a problem and I don't think you can blame the John Jerry injury because I'm pretty sure they were hoping Jerry would be ousted.

 

I expect him to have a 1k season Sick, I think THill is going to feed him the ball.

 

Love this...

 

Thigpen 2k apy baby!

 

They've got to actually get Thigpen chances to do that in preseason if they want him to be a factor that way in the season. Last preseason what was disturbing that way was much like Chris Hogan when real bullets were firing and bodies were flying all over, things getting physical, Marcus Thigpen didn't finish well as a receiver.

 

Hard to believe RG is such a problem when it should be the easiest position on the line to fill. Perhaps Louis will start working more soon.

 

Agreed, I'm a fan of what Thigpen can do, if the Staff is not a fan he is still in roster jeopardy.

I've seen him play Slot in the CFL, he can get it done, his short area quickness is top notch.

 

Even worse with Thigpen b/c he actually has talent.

 

I seem to recall last season Thigpen looked great in practice, but rarely played that preseason, which tells me the Staff just is not huge fans of his aside from ST coach Rizzi.

To me, he makes our ST unit special, if we lose Carroll due to roster squeeze, and Trusnik or Spitler lose out to Robinson, and Sturgis beats out Carp, our ST unit will basically be brand new in a lot of ways.

ST is good for at least 2 wins a year, or making or missing the playoffs.

 

@JamesWalkerNFL: #Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill is doing some extra work with his receivers after practice.

@Phins_Phocus: Good practice for Tannehill and the offense. Wallace caught a 40 yard bomb and RT17's connection with Keller was on display. #Dolphins

@DrAstroZoom: Good to see @ryantannehill1 getting in extra work with receivers after a GOOD practice. Reinforce the positive and build rapport.

Good to hear.

It doesn't look like he ever lost the job. It sounds to me as tho the staff had him pegged at RG before the injury and still do ??

 

I think they gave Samuda a real shot, and we can't discount the possibility of Louis taking the job back when he's healthy.

 

Lol @ the John Jerry love... while I admit that he is a definite upgrade over Samadu, Garner, and Sick there. Jerry was nothing dominant there and many were wanting him replaced until we saw how bad the others were at the position.

Any news on when Louis is supposed to be back practicing?

 

....championship!

 

BarryJackson ‏@flasportsbuzz 2m Dolphins OL Nate Garner had arthroscopic shoulder surgery and is expected to be out 2 to 3 weeks.

 

Essentially he's out until the season opener.

 

This is a guarantee. Our first victory against Houston.

Probably just having another arm in there to help the coaches find out some thing about Tyms, McNutt, Bumphis....

 

i think he means that we've never beaten Houston.
Of course, this wouldn't count since it's preseason.

 

Tannehill and Keller seem to have good chemistry, but it'll be hard to dislodge the Brian Hartline comeback. Both of them do it so well.

 

Who put the voodoo curse on the right guard position?

 

I'll buy Louis having the opportunity to step in, but I think Samuda was an experiment to see where the kid was, propagated by JJ's absence ??

They've never changed the 'roster' as it were, JJ has been listed as the starter all along, even tho he's been out ?? I would like to see how Samuda progresses after spending some time on PS and a full NFL offseason of lifting to get his body more ready for this level...

 

We have never beaten Houston in any capacity. I don't expect fairweather fans to understand though.
