Thanks! Welcome to the site! Here's a thread on the TC photos. http://forums.thephins.com/showthread.php?t=12937 Hope we don't cover like this, this season lol. Martin drops another?
yeah, that was a fleaflicker play that everyone bit on. on the martin pass, he actually hung on to it, but catching it with his head is not a good technique. lol.
, buddy!!! My first observations is.... I was at Cowboys camp today and they scrimmaged but it was NOT as intense as these pics look! The Cowboys were a little physical, but at about 60% throttle. The Dolphins here have both O-line, D-line and Linebackers lookinq like they are rushing HARD and really FIGHTING in those trenches! There was no real pass rush at Cowboys camp... The Phins pics look like there is blitzing and intense pressure. Altogether, it reconfirms the impression I got from vet player interviews: Tony Sparano is running a camp that imitates the intensity of REAL GAMES more than many other camps are doing at this early stage! That's great. As Sparano has said, he wants: 1) To test these guys under pressure 2) To have the game slow down for them. He is accomplishing these by having them scrimmage at close to game speed and intensity during camp. That should help the rookies (and QBs) adjust to game speed and pressure by the time the season starts. I think this will REALLY help John Beck, who stuggles precisely with this issue. By helping him overcome it in camp instead of a game, I think Beck will be fine by the time the season starts and he is in a real game again.
I read in a blog that some player (Bell?) said there was more contact in one of those TC days than they got all year with Cameron which I found HILARIOUS.
my first hand impression was that they were going pretty much full out. I heard Sparano cussing out players numerous times. (what the hell was that?!i what the f@ck are we doing here?! you're not good enough! it always got a response from the crowd. coach sparano is not messing around!
Parmele looks real good. He had several nice runs and he broke this sweep play up the sideline. no one got a hand on him. I bet he gets tons of PT during the preseason games coming up.
Tony has set high expectations from the beginning: - High expectations from the offseason conditioning program - He has players talking about winning the division Winnning. The. Division. That is how our coach wants the players to view themselves. And, you know what? I like it.
I agree with you B. The recent article that came out about Vonnie Holliday saying he expects Super Bowl every year despite the rebuilding process (or something along those lines) really made me happy. I'm glad that despite the horrendous season last year, the team believes. Wilford was saying he wanted to win the division and a reporter asked "What About New England?". I believe Wilford responded with "Who?". I love what the new FO and staff have these players doing. I'm really impressed. I just hope I don't get too impressed and they fail to impress. EDIT: Yeah, so I was completely off with the quotes but that's ok lol. Here they are : and http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp08/columns/story?columnist=graham_tim&id=3507860
Wilford was interviewed a few days ago on MD.com, and he said something about winning the division. The reporter questioned him, and Wilford responed by asking "why not?". The reporter said, "because of the Patriots". It's because of reporters like this one that I dislike the South Florida media. He was basically laughing at Wilford for thinking the Dolphins could beat the Patriots. Mocking players, is that what the fans want to see? Come on.
found another good one in my batch... Long protecting McCown's back side. man, that dude is f@cking huge! I was really impressed with Bess. This guy is going to be Wes Welker 2.0, but better!
