Landry, at this point in my view, is pretty much automatic.

I want the offense to do well, but I don't want to hear about a bunch of missed tackles. No bad snaps would be nice, as it would make 2 practices in a row and show progress. For the offensive side I'm mainly hoping for minimal or no missed routes by the receivers or blown assignments on the line. My main trepidation about the year is how fast they can master the system.

I think our secondary is scary good. If Grimes doesn't fall off the planet, Jones plays somewhere between last year and 2012 (closer to 2012 would be awesome), and Finnegan/Delmas can avoid injury, man....I expect to hear about a few of those names today. If Tripp/McCain can keep at it and improve, I like the LB depth compared to previous.

Lastly I'd like to hear about Misi making the right calls at mike. He's show the determination and dedication that, to me, ALL players should strive to copy. I just hope it fully transfers to the field.

 

A live report coming up on NFLN.

 

Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
No Jenkins today. He had his leg wrapped yesterday.

 

Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP

RT @apoupartFins: Dolphins players who are out of the scrimmage: Matt Moore, Mike Wallace, Stephen Williams, Anthony Johnson, Jelani Jenkins

 

Chris Perkins @chrisperk

Appears 1st-team OL today is C Garner. RG Turner, RT James, LG Colledge, LT Albert. Turner is new starter.

 

Very interesting with Turner. Garner did alright when he played center last year. We just lose backup flexibility with him starting until Pouncey comes back.

 

Heh 1's vs the 2's. Not trying to confidence boost now are they? ;p

@AbramsonPBP 26s
Clay is limping off the field.

Mutha.........................

 

@AbramsonPBP 8s
3rd-and-4 from the 23, Dolphins hand off to Daniel Thomas who only picks up 2.

Man I'm hoping one of the new kids can at least show some inside moves....Thomas needs to go.

@AbramsonPBP 8s
Lamar Miller 9-yard TD reception.

Miller/Matthews the stars of that drive..........well stars against #2's anyways ;p Or as Abram says it after Dion converts the 2pt:

@AbramsonPBP 11s
If every NFL defense is equivalent to the Dolphins' 2nd-team defense, Miami's offense will dominate.

 

I think they might've have needed a confidence boost... from these tweets, looks like the offense is doing a good job, now let's see it against the 1st team defense.

 

Hal Habib @gunnerhal

Most important thus far: Charles Clay is pacing back and forth on sideline, trying to walk it off. Just threw a towel against the bench.

 

It's a scrimmage...anyone gets nicked they'll be safe and pull 'em. Good to hear it seems to be nothing though.

 

Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley

Clay still on the sidelines, but without a helmet. Would appear his day is done.

 

what's with all the injuries

 

2nd team offense went 3 and out against 1st defense...so they are doing it again. Ouch lol.

Edit: Better start this time. Hoping this kid shows something. Screw D.T.

@JamesWalkerNFL 12s
#Dolphins backup RB Damien Williams, one of my sleepers, with a nice first-down run on the first-team defense.

@AbramsonPBP 39s
Gator Hoskins makes a nice catch with Brent Grimes in coverage. Dolphins 2nd team O is driving

Gator sighting...and on Brent to..nice.

Ok now the 2nd team offense is really moving on the starting d:

@AbramsonPBP 6s
Mike Gillislee makes a couple defenders miss, gains 9 yards.

 

Miami Dolphins ✔ @MiamiDolphins

.@millertime_6 running hard today. Just hauled in a catch for 6.

 

Chris Perkins @chrisperk

RB damien Williams excellent cutback on 10-yd run. Nice job using zone blocking


James Walker ✔ @JamesWalkerNFL

#Dolphins backup RB Damien Williams, one of my sleepers, with a nice first-down run on the first-team defense.

 

Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP

I don't know who Devlin was looking for when he threw to the sideline. Uphill battle for him to keep his roster spot IMO

 

Chris Perkins @chrisperk

Devlin inc...Jimmy Wilson called for interference vs. Thigpen. Nice pass by Devlin, put it where it needed to be.

 

@JamesWalkerNFL 25s
Going back to Ryan Tannehill's TD throw to Lamar Miller, MIA's red-zone concepts on O are much better than a year ago. #BillLazor

I'll wait to hear from our guys here, if they are there, on that one.

 

James Walker ✔ @JamesWalkerNFL

Going back to Ryan Tannehill's TD throw to Lamar Miller, MIA's red-zone concepts on O are much better than a year ago. #BillLazor

 

Story early on............first team LB's still suck vs the run.

 

Chris Perkins @chrisperk

Devlin inc...going for Damian Williams in back of end zone...grimes on coverage. Nice job...now 4th down

 

@chrisperk 42s
It's 3s vs. 3s now...

Oh joy ;p

 

Why is NFLN all overt Manzel. Why is that issue so important now. Why does Sports coverage suck A$$ How about showing live scrimmages around the league? Are they not capable of providing coverage of their sport? Obviously not.

 

James Walker ✔ @JamesWalkerNFL

Jarvis Landry getting a chance to return a punt. #Dolphins

 

Maybe need to diversify into team stations like baseball is ;p

 

He's the new Tebow coverage-wise. Next year or after Manzel flames out there will be someone else.

 

James Walker ✔ @JamesWalkerNFL

#Dolphins seventh-round pick Terrence Fede gets a sack. He's flashed a few times in camp. Another one there.

 

They must have heard me. The NFNN is going to Miami Gardens where the DOlphins are scrimmaging after these commercials at 10:27 am on Saturday Aug 2, 2014.

The Patriots had 22,000 for a scrimmage last nite. Miami has 2000. Armando Salguero

 

@AbramsonPBP 1m
Terrence Fede with a sack of Seth Lobato. Sure, it's the 4th string QB, but watch out Fede -- Marist's finest.

‏@AbramsonPBP 48s
CB Jalil Brown is shaken up, walking off the field with a limp.

Another one bites the dust.

 

Chris Perkins @chrisperk

Decent crowd, as it turns out. Much media debate on attendance, however. Have no good figure yet.

 

First down: Tannehill pass batted at line of scrimmage.

Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 02, 2014 at 10:01 AM

Second down: Tannehill complete to Rishard matthews for 9 yards.

Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 02, 2014 at 10:01 AM

Third down: Read option, Lamar rushes for seven more yards.

Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 02, 2014 at 10:02 AM

Against 2nd D? Uhh okay..

Posted by: deity | August 02, 2014 at 10:02 AM

First and 10 from the 42: Play-action. Tannehill finds Matthews for gain of 14.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk

DT Garrison Smith with sack. Kid is showing up again. Dolphins really deep at DL.

 

It's all 3rd string/4th string right now. Waiting for the firsts to go back in.

@AbramsonPBP now
Tannehill coming back in. First team offense back out for first time since opening drive.

There we go.

 

Keywords in bold, not many people want to show up to a scrimmage saturday morning...

 

@AbramsonPBP 13s
Albert, Colledge, Garner, Turner, James the first team OL right now. No Shelley Smith.

‏@chrisperk 30s
Tannehill to Gibson for 5 yd gain in no-huddle offense

@JamesWalkerNFL 9s
#Dolphins RB Lamar Miller with another nice run. He's having a quality scrimmage.

@JamesWalkerNFL 19s
Here is a rarity: #Dolphins rookie WR Jarvis Landry with a drop over the middle.

@JamesWalkerNFL 17s
Terrence Fede with a battled ball on QB Ryan Tannehill. #Dolphins

 

Great coverage on NFLN now

 

@AbramsonPBP 18s
3rd-and-10 from 23, Tannehill throws corner end zone to Rishard Matthews who can't stay in bounds. Close though.
