Training Camp 08/20

still not back, i guess he will take this week off as well

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly 1m Dion Jordan is going to do his rehab assignment. He has a funky looking shoulder machine to work with.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero 1m And Charles Clay is the Dolphins new starting tight end.

Nathan Williams was a solid player for Ohio State, but could never stay healthy. I believe he had the same microfracture type of injury that Greg Oden had. I think he's purely a SAM backer, but could make a nice contribution on special teams.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly 16m
Icky Thumb but the White Stripes is song No 1 of Dolphins practice.

lol Omar

Jerry inserted immediately to right guard upon his return. Best news of day.

Interesting that Clay moves to starting Te.

...

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley 11m Fascinating: We haven’t seen a two-tight end set yet.

Appears the staff is not sold on Egnew so probably Sims.

i guess egnew didn´t help his cause with that holding penalty with the starters out there

Charles Clay was the #2 tight end. The #1 tight end got injured. The #2 tight end is now the #1 tight end.

Hurray for not over thinking stuff.

I doubt they cared about that so much as his letting up a sack because of a mental error.

But Dion Sims had an equally bad game, IMO. Sims was consistently bad in the game. Egnew just had a few bad plays.

By the way I'm not sure where it's coming from that Michael Egnew is in the dog house. Omar just tweeted that Michael Egnew started off as the 2nd tight end in 2-TE sets with Charles Clay in the 7-on-7 portion.

They're still actively trying to figure out the #2 situation.

Evan Rodriguez has moved to tight end now. So they're going with that instead of replacing a body with a body at the position, signing a new tight end. They chose to take a look at another linebacker instead.

There will still be 2 TE sets. MIA ran that personnel with Clay/Sims vs the Texans.

Beasley is easily fascinated, I guess.

i like that egnew is that 2nd guy now, he will make some catches over the middle, i´m pretty sure

Tannehill with the INT in 7vs7, Reshad Jones with the pick

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero 6m Dolphins QBs have thrown 3 INTs one hour into practice. Yuck.

:omg::jump:

They also ran 2-TE stuff with Egnew and Clay, I believe. In fact they ran 2-TE stuff with Egnew before Keller was even hurt. Egnew got the holding call early in the 1st quarter if I recall.

thats it for now

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley 19m About to go into the Twitter blackout period of practice. Catch you on the flipside.

Good to hear that Jerry and Starks are working. Nothing else among the reports seems surprising.

Yup... the media is sure quick on the draw. No 2 TE sets in the first 15 minutes of practice, and apparently, the Keller injury has forced us into a run-n-shoot. :lol:

Im actually excited to see what we have with Clay. I think both he and Egnew can be very good seam threats. I can see Sims developing as well into something. All in all....at the end of the day, I think we will be fine.

- Randy Starks said he will play on saturday
- total of 5 fumbles and 6 interceptions in practice today...
- philbin said running back competition still open
- jerry and louis shared snaps at RG today
- icognito said line has won more battles than they lost in preseason, run blocking is ahead of pass blocking

I hope that is not the case about the run blocking. We are in big trouble at RB if thats the case. Run blocking hasnt looked great to me though.

Both finally running with the ones? I like that news.
