For those interested, Olivier Vernon was mic'd up for the Chargers game.

Seems to be a man of few words. Nothing wrong with that.

Not as good as Wake's Mic'd Up video, but still good.

Yeah, Vernon doesn't seem to be as outspoken.
I still love what the Dolphins do for media productions. I don't think fans realize that it's probably among the best in pro sports. They do an excellent job with their storytelling.unluckyluciano, RoninFin4 and Fin D like this. -
I agree. That and I think Jesse Agler did a really nice job of starting and building up the Finsiders programming.Fin D likes this.

I've seen a few other teams do the mic'd up videos...just not as good. I know Cincinnati's about as low-budget as it gets, granted the media coverage locally is much less in terms of scale than Miami, but honestly, the only thing I can think of that they do is a weekly radio show, similar to the Finsiders simulcast deal, but it's only one night a week.
One of their beat writers, Joe Reedy, and their radio color commentator, Dave Lapham (former player) are VERY plugged in though. Like more than Barry Jackson plugged in. -
I'm sure it helped but I'm guessing the Dolphins decided to invest into production value too.
-
Yeah, having a budget helps. Those player mics aren't cheap and getting a good camera that can shoot at least 60 progressive frames per second with a good image quality is pricey.
I spent 5 grand on a camera body because of its image quality but it can't do that sweet slow motion stuff because the highest frame rate is 60i... Most stuff I shoot is 24p but you get the picture of how much a budget really matters.
I'm guessing the Dolphins have poured tens of thousands of dollars into their equipment... Not including studio equipment for stuff like Finsiders. -
I'm sure they had plenty of talent before HBO came along that wasn't being fully utilized. I have no doubt they learned plenty from HBO but let's not act like they were amateurs before HBO came along.

Maybe they use an iPhone 6+
My two cents via iPhone. -
Maybe you should have your username changed to iBpk.

Edit: Ignore my stupid post. I asked if they mic'd up Jared Odrick and Cortland Finnegan. And then I googled it. Yes, they have.

In the spirit of couple weeks ago when Wake got a strip/sack after OV mentioned it:
Olivier Vernon: "Good catch, Landry. All you need now is a TD and some great returns"
Olivier Vernon: "Good throw, Tannehill. All you need now is three TDs and a 70% completion and 50 yds rushing"
Olivier Vernon: "Good catch, Clay. All you need now is a a TD grab"
Oliver Vernon: "Good cover, Grimes. All you need now is a couple picks and a near-pick six"
Olivier Vernon: "Good cover, Jones. All you need now is a pick"
Olivier Vernon: "Good rushing effort, Miller. All you need now is a TD"
Olivier Vernon: "We're doing good guys. All we need now is a shutout"
I wish OV would talk more...VanDolPhan likes this. -

12/28 Dolphins vs. Jets

Memo to the Dolphins Producers, never ever do a Olivier Vernon mute´d up again....lol, i want to see a Landry or Tannehill Mic´d up

Disagree, I enjoy hearing all players mic'd up. I kind of wish they'd mic two or three of our players a week though! How awesome would that be?
