Dolphins are the only other species besides humans who can recognize & admire themselves in the mirror... Don't let your mirror fool you...
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Dolphins are moving up their scrimmage time from 9:15 to 8:15 at Sun Life for weather considerations. Good to get work in. Bad for fans.
Chad Johnson @ochocinco
That was a warm up RT @OrlandoAloisi: I can't wait to see ur next interview, I got to put a diaper on first, almost pissed myself last time!
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Made it to Sun Life before 8:15, miraculously. Scrimmage should run until 10:30 a.m.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
If it wasn't for the ticket giveaway to the first 1,000 fans, there might not be anyone here. Pretty decent crowd, given the circumstances.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
If you haven't gotten to the stadium yet, no worries. Not sure the players are here yet. It's sunny as can be.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Jake Long and Richie Incognito lead the Miami Dolphins out of the tunnel to begin practice at Sun Life Stadium.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Sun Life sans baseball infield in August.

Third song is French Montana's "Don't Stop."
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Brian Hartline off to the side with Jonas Gray, both rehabbing injuries.
Ben Volin @BenVolinPBP
#Dolphins warming up at Sun Life Stadium. Sun is absolutely brutal in the press box. I'm frying
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
I expect David Garrard will "start" at quarterback for today's scrimmage. He should get most of the first-team snaps.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Matt Moore gets the first run during 7-on-7. I'm pretty sure he'll start the first exhibition game.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Vontae Davis and Sean Smith working with the starters in "skelly" drills.
Jesse Agler @finsjesse
http://Dolphins.com writer @Andy_Kent bringing in the footlong hot dog from the concession stand...not even 9am. Impressive.

Daniel Thomas on kickoff return.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Dolphins are doing kickoffs. Julius Pruitt and Marcus Thigpen are the top returners.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Julius Pruitt and Marcus Thigpen back to return the opening "kick." Thigpen fields.

Error, I meant Marcus Thigpen.

First drive of scrimmage, Chad Johnson drops a third-down pass inside the 5 yard line, forcing offense to kick a FG.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Scoring drive was 12 plays, 53 yards.

First drive in, with Garrard as starter, should have been 6. Johnson dropped a TD pass. Settles for Carpenter 34 yd FG. 3-0 offense.
Jesse Agler @finsjesse
First drive of scrimmage ends with 34 (or maybe 35) yard FG from Carpenter. 85 with a drop on 3rd down. Garrard 4-6 for ~34 yds on drive.

Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Lamar Miller awakens the crowd with a 29-yard kickoff return.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
Tyrone Culver breaks up a TD pass to Chad @ochocinco and forces the Dolphins to kick a field goal.

Another stand by the Dolphins' first-team defense, followed by a 57-yard punt by Brandon Fields. #FinsCamp
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Matt Moore and second team O goes three-and-out vs. first-team D again. Great rush by D. Murtha is NOT a LT.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
In three drives, Moore is 4 of 9 for 21 yards, according to me very rough stats.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
RT @davidcanter: Fans in (Sun Life Stadium) stands chanting we want Ryan (Tannehill). Incredible.
Ben Volin @BenVolinPBP
Probably 2,000-3,000 fans in attendance #Tannchise RT@davidcanter: Fans in stands chanting we want Ryan. Incredible.

Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Garrard: minus 1-yard pass to Clay, imcomplete, deep pass to Chad Johnson (15), pass to Naanee (3), sack by Spitler, pbk by Culver.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Garrard, back with the 1s, is nearly picked by Tyrone Culver in the back of the end zone. Another FG by Carpenter, this one from 27.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Matt Moore's saving grace so far is he's facing starting D while playing with backups. Garrard, Tannehill playing w/ starters vs. backup D.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
In good news, Dan Carpenter hits his third field goal, a 27-yarder.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Ryan Tannehill now out there.

Dan Carpenter 51-yard field goal attempt tipped and wide left.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Shocker: Tannehill finds it much easier to move the ball against the second-team defense than the first.
Izzy Gould @IzzyGould
Tannehill against the 1s: Incomplete pass into double coverage almost INT; compelte to 35 (0); fumbled snap, Wake sack; 51-yd FG wide left.

Yep, MMoore played poorly though, including spiking the ball on a 4th and long situation.

Eop05subscriberFrom everything I read, it sounded like Moore played a lot with the 2nd team Offense against the 1st string Defense, which had some to do with his struggles.
Tannehill and Garrard both took a lot of snaps with first team Offense against 2nd team Defense.
I got the impression that the 1st team Defense is WAY ahead of the 2nd team Defense as it should be. But the drop off sounds a little too significant. Could be this way with every NFL team though.
-Still great to hear Tannehill having a great day.
-So good to finally read about a training camp where the offense isn't miles behind the defense.
-Love the obsession with passing the ball and focusing on getting that part of the offense up to speed. Seems like we finally have a staff that understands what it takes to succeed in today's NFL. I get the feeling that they know that the running game will follow

I doubt it, in true Dolphins fashion, they moved the scrimmage back from 9:15 to 8:15.
Someone tweeted it, not sure who.

Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
No rushing stats (official or not) available from Dolphins scrimmage. Indicative of what I've suspected that running game is now secondary.
Just to complement your comment.
ckparrotheadmoderatorThe most interesting thing I saw in Joe Philbin's after scrimmage press conference was when a reporter asked if he has reached the point where he's going to start giving one guy more snaps, etc...I expected Philbin to dismiss that but he was honest and said yes we might be, we have to review the film and hold a personnel meeting but yes we might be reaching that point.

The guy is almost honest to a fault. And the way we've come to expect the usual coach speak out of any of our coaches, I'd say it's a refreshing trait from the new HC.

Thought this was coming as I mentioned in Club, the only thing that can overturn it is probably poor preseason performance meets outstanding performance on the 2nd or 3rd teams.
DisgustipatesubscriberI think it's hard to draw assumptions from pass/run ratio or stuff like that. Maybe a scrimmage is different, but they are still installing offense/defense stuff. Certain days are going to focus on certain packages. The other day Philbin mentioned they were doing Bear fronts on defense, and it sounded like offense was doing fullback stuff.
Unless the passing game is dominant or really ahead of the running game, the Dolphins are probably going to be pretty balanced. Mike Sherman's offense draws a lot from Shanahan-style WCOs. It's likely to be balanced, and the pass game is going to use a lot of play action playing off the run game.

Do you think they will eventually slow down the pace as well?

What are your indications, CK?
Interesting how he was candid, but there still is a little bit of coach-speak. I wonder how this will affect the competition if the players catch wind of the comments.
This training camp has gone pretty swiftly. With the new CBA on mandated scheduling, etc., I can imagine the pressure for staff to make a decision early so that person (in this case, the QB) can get the necessary snaps to build that cohesiveness and rapport.
With this new CBA, my eyes will be peeled to see if it affects level of competition and injuries (if at all).
Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

Mcduffie81subscriberI can finally say I was there. I know Moore was against 1st team defense however.....Moore looked like crap (Devlin made more plays). Tannehill and Lamar Miller really showed flashes. Miller plays fast and fluid! Tannehill seems to play it less safe than Moore and Garrard, and was accurate. First play was a beautiful bomb that was a fingernail from being caught by Naanee.

So 10 of 13, with a deep throw that was so close, and a couple of pass interference calls?
Good stuff.
