Jesse Agler @finsjesse 2m Don't see John Jerry anywhere. Rookie Dallas Thomas at LG and Richie on the right side Jesse Agler @finsjesse 6m 2nd member of the @ProFootballHOF class of '13 at #FinsCamp in the last three days. Cris Carter in the house. WR Kenny Stafford his nephew.
Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 1m Dallas Thomas working at left guard, Richie Incognito at right with John Jerry absent #dolphins
Odd that Richie switches sides on 1st team OL. Must be because most of Thomas' experience is on left side. I wonder where Jerry is?
Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 37s No pads today. Some of the #dolphins on practice field already but Philbin watching o-line in the bubble

James Walker also doing Camp today - similar notes to Abramson - but interesting. Wonder what is up with John Jerry (apparently no sighting?)
Not sure if it's a huge development yet if it's happening only because John Jerry is hurt and not practicing. Plus they're in shells and shorts today.
Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 1m If Sturgis is battling a groin injury could explain his minor struggles. Would still be a stunner if he doesn't win kicking job #dolphins
Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 1m Aaron Corp struggling in drills. I don't think he'll win the starting quarterback job #dolphins
Richie's a savvy vet and played RG in St. Louis and Buffalo. I think you're right on about Thomas' experience on the left side. I think at the end of the day, if you're putting your best 5 OL out there, I feel like Thomas is going to be in that group. Somewhere.

When this coaching staff sees something that it doesn't like, if experiments with various ways to fix it. Under Sparano, no changes were ever made, and I wonder if he ever even saw anything he didn't like.
I read that Jerry has an undisclosed injury. I think you're about the move of RI to RG. It's probably all about RI's experience there and Thomas' experience on the left. I wonder what they thought of how Samuda looked at G yesterday?
The FB position has been a weak spot so I suspect they are really trying to get some competition in there. If Clay can become a good blocker, that could become a great strength with his pass-catching and route-running ability. But, that is probably a big IF.
I still don't know if it would be a stunner. Yeah, I know Carp has a pretty high salary for a kicker and that the Dolphins invested a draft pick on the kid. And I'm sure the Dolphins most likely hope Sturgis wins the kicking battle. But at the same time I don't think they'd cut Carp just to save a few million on the cap and validate the use of a 5th round draft pick if Carpenter is demonstratively better in camp and pre-season. To me that'd be playing with fire. Setting the kicking game back could wind up being rather demoralizing for a team with high hopes.

Dion Jordan is taking snaps during 1-on-1s. He just got Jonathan Martin on an inside move. Martin had to hold him. Contact has begun!... Omar
Was that Tannehill that connected with Wallace on the deep pass referred to earlier? And good to hear Gillislee is doing well today, I hadn't heard much about him until now and was beginning to wonder.
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 17m 2nd OL (for now): LT Jeff Adams, LG Sam Brenner, C Josh Samuda, RG Chandler Burden, RT Nate Garner.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly 22m Ryan Tannehill over throws an open Mike Wallace for a possible TD pass. Crowd is disappointed.
Miami Dolphins @MiamiDolphins 1m Coach Philbin has arrived at the podium. LIVE coverage of his post-practice press conference begins now at http://Dolphins.com
Miami Dolphins @MiamiDolphins 54s Philbin said there have been less mistakes than this time last year. "Our mental discipline was excellent." Josh Friedman @Friedo790 15s When I asked Joe Philbin about John Jerry's absence, he said he won't comment on injuries. # Dolphins Well at least we know he's injured. Not good.
