Saturday 8/13 Practice Report
21 replies
Paul 13moderatorOPYes, there was actually a practice today...based on the local reporters:
The team practiced in the bubble today. It was actually a pre-planned "closed" practice.
There was a close to the facility lightning strike that made Jason Taylor drop to the ground.
Will Allen practiced today, he participated in position drills but did not partake in any team drills
Appears we didn't escape the first preseason game without injuries. Both Austin Spitler and Koa Misi were nicked up. Omar reports we are planning on bringing in linebackers tomorrow for tryouts.
Chad Henne got heavy work, particularly in the red zone, throwing at least three TD strikes from close range. Marshall, Fasano and Hartline all getting in on the action
Kevin Burnett had a nice breakup in the redzone. I thought he struggled yesterday with his positioning on several plays.
First team offense took all reps in first two 11 on 11 sessions.
First team o line unchanged from last night. Murtha - Incog - Pouncey - Carey - Colombo
T Ray Willis is nowhere to be seen
First team D was the only team working in team drills as well.
Is that a coincidence? Think not, although might have something to do with being in the bubble more than what happened last night?
If you're wondering about LBers and who is out there:
Brandon Chillar
Gerald Hayes
Eric Alexander
Matt Wilhelm
Leon Williams
Jyles Tucker
List taken from nfl.com free agency tracker. I thought Tucker signed somewhere but apparently not. Boy I figure he'd be an upgrade over Trusnik.
Reminder, next public practice on Monday at 11am et. Sirius NFL Radio will be broadcasting live on Monday as well from the practice facility, starting at noon et.

After his performance, that is a good thing.
jdang307subscriberWe just signed Burnett, what, two hours ago? I think he'll need a little more time to acclimate
Zeke0123forum_veteranNo word on the Misi injury?
dolfan7171New MemberJake Long still out?
Win, Lose, or Tie, I will be a Dolphins Fan Until I Die:up:

I don't think we see Long back until the first game of the season at the soonest.
ToddsPhinsNew Memberi dont know why we don't sign Crowder back for a discount. It's not like he doesn't want to play here or we don't have the cap room...... unless he's injured beyond repair.
padre31luxury_boxAFAIK Cooper was more or less going to have to settle for a mimimal deal in SD?
Like Tucker, but the 8 millie in cap space is a mythical beast per the latest Sports Buzz column, we need cheap wheels.
Like a..Quinton Spears...:shifty:

yep... probably won't play all preseason. Hoping it's precautionary, gut tells me it might be more than that.

I don't believe Omar when he talks about the cap being tighter than the 8.5m. Not based on the unofficial #'s I've compiled.

What if I sock you in the gut would that change your pessimism :shifty:
Bring this man back into the fold if you want some real leadership on this team.

xphinfanxforum_veteranIs the practice bubble private or do the fans get in on these?
That's why they play the games!:yes:

It's private, except for the press.

Not quite. I've been there twice, even though it's not open for general public, some fans are allowed there.

How'd you manage that?

AquafinNew MemberI noboddy will like this but Crowder wanted to be here so why not use him for depth because he isnt that bad plus. who is going to confront Rex Ryan the dolphins need a gutsy player who isnt afraid to speak his mind.

Unless I missed them, details of his waiving were few and far between. Sparano appeared surprised he hung it up, but given other teams had contacted him, whatever happened in the context of those details, apparently ended his interest for the game.
A phone call would seem a very simple solution, unless his bridge back was cremated upon exit.
Paul 13moderatorUnless something happens to Burnett or Dansby, Crowder won't be back. He doesn't play special teams. You're not going to bring him back to sit on the bench and not play special teams.
