Training Camp 08/07

The Dolphins don't release season-ticket totals until the selling season is over. But heading into traditionally the best selling month, sales to new season-ticket buyers were up 31.4 percent over last year at this time and had surpassed the final totals for 2011 and '12, he said.

More encouraging for a franchise that has had to buy up thousands of tickets to avoid television blackouts for most games the past couple of seasons, sales are up at all levels.

Fewer than 10,000 tickets remain for the first two home games, against the Falcons and Ravens, as well as the Dec. 15 visit by the Patriots, Rushton said.

Overall, the priciest club seats, Dolphins Prime, are up 155 percent from this time a year ago, and group sales (10 or more) are up 163 percent.

On the specialty side, Club Liv is approaching sellout, and the Cefalo Legends and Castronovo's Vineyard suites and Duffy's Sports Grill are filling up quickly, well ahead of last year's pace, Rushton said.

"We're excited about the response we've gotten so far this year, the way the fans are rolling back into the organization," Rushton said. "We have a ton more work to do. We're not satisfied where we are right now. Our goal is to sell out every game."

A decade of ineptitude on the field coupled with the recession led to an expanding vista of empty orange seats. The larger-than-usual turnout at the draft party in April and 22,000 who attended last week's scrimmage indicate fans are eager to reconnect with South Florida's oldest pro franchise.

:knucks:

fewer than 10.000 ? i believe it when i see it , would be nice if i don´t get smashed by my buddies, when the broadcast starts and all those empty orange seats are showing up

technically 5 minutes ago, they are slow to start today on twitter, maybe that ross was there is the reason for the hiccup

I guess Mike Wallace is fully dressed and in pads. No idea whether he'll get any work today.

samuda or miller sightings ?

James Walker ‏@JamesWalkerNFL3m
#Dolphins WR Mike Wallace (groin) is dressed in full pads today. It will be interesting to see if he gets in much work.

James Walker ‏@JamesWalkerNFL5m
Looks like rookie CB Jamar Taylor is still out today. He's probably out for Friday's game against the #Jaguars.

James Walker ‏@JamesWalkerNFL1m
#Dolphins FB Jorvorskie Lane is not dressed and won't practice today. WR Brian Hartline is practicing in full pads.

James Walker ‏@JamesWalkerNFL2m
#Dolphins starting RB Lamar Miller is dressed in full pads today after getting shaken up Tuesday.

:up:

Any missed time could spell doom for Jorvorskie Lane. Charles Clay seems like he's taking his job and Evan Rodriguez could also leap him in the competition.

Haven't seen any mention of Samuda yet. Jerry is there, but not practicing yet apparently, sure he'll still be re-habbing his knee for a while yet. If Samuda can't practice, hopefully Louis is ready to step into the 1st team line-up.

Interesting development: There's a John Jerry sighting at #Dolphins practice. He's not dressed. But Jerry is here.

James Walker has the jump on everyone. I bet they're all busy trying to wrap up articles about Steve Ross' press conference.

Walker wasn´t here yesterday it looks like, jerry was already here yesterday too

James Walker ‏@JamesWalkerNFL 1m Hard to tell how John Jerry looks weight-wise. I'm bad with that. But it's always a question with him and he's missed some time

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly 1m Lamar Miller, who sprained an ankle yesterday, is out here in pads and it appears he's working.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly 1m It looks like Pat Devlin is practicing today. He sat out yesterday's practice and is in pads during today's padded practice.

James Walker ‏@JamesWalkerNFL 1m #Dolphins WR Rishard Matthews also not practicing today. But he's here.

Chris Perkins ‏@chrisperk 2m FB Jorvorskie Lane, RG John Jerry. WR Rishard Matthews, CB Jamar Taylor in shorts. Others full pads. #Dolphins

so that means samuda is working

Chris Perkins ‏@chrisperk 3m TE Kyle Miller, DT Randy Starks not here 2nd consecutive day. #Dolphins

wtf is wrong with taylor?

‏@chrisperk59s
TE Kyle Miller, DT Randy Starks not here 2nd consecutive day. #Dolphins

isnt that more than 2 in a row for Starks?

Problem is, a wide open fullback almost always looks good catching the football and turning up the field. They're all big and strong and once they get up to speed by virtue of them being open, they're pretty intimidating to tackle. Evan didn't really put on any moves or anything though.

Remember when we had Marcel Reese in camp and our brain trust let him walk? That was awesome. Evan Mathis too.

Not good for Miller either, if Egnew can continue his improvement then I think he's outside looking in. Also good for Tannehill and Moore if Devlin can throw today.
