Chris Perkins @chrisperk 1m Full pads today. Not sure about tackling. Still indoors. Not sure yet if DE Dion Jordan fully active. #Dolphins Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 1m Nate Garner warming up with first time o-line again. Looks like he has replaced Samuda as John Jerry's replacement for now. Chris Perkins @chrisperk 2m DT Randy Starks not at practice. TE Kyle Miller, S Keelan Johnson, RG John Jerry not working
Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 25s #Dolphins WR Rishard Matthews working with second teamers in warm ups. In case you missed it, he returned to practice yesterday.
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 51s Dion Jordan working on side. #Dolphins If it's an injury at least it sounds like a minor one.
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 19s And now Jordan has left the bubble. Might be doing some rehab inside. But he's in uniform. Not sure what's up yet.
Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 17s I'm amazed each day at practice how small Brent Grimes is. But he plays big and with a ton of energy
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 1m Looks like Dion Jordan won't be outside again today. He only played 7 snaps vs. Jaguars
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 9s Nate Garner remains the RG du jour. other starting OL also same--C Pouncey, LG Incognito, LT Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 1m Outside practice has begun. Like in warm ups, Garner is running with the first teamers at RG Chris Perkins @chrisperk 1m #Dolphins back to working two sides of field w/passing game w/healthy Devlin. running plays at fast pace on both ends. Chris Perkins @chrisperk 29s T'hill & Moore throwing on big kid field (1st & 2nd team). Devlin throwing on little kid field (others).
@JamesWalkerNFL #Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill hits WR Brian Hartline down the seam for a first down in 7-on-7 work. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 1m Guessing Samuda at RG experiment over. Been backup C yesterday & today That's a shame, I was really hoping he be the surprise that we desperately needed on the OL.
I think Samuda still sticks on the roster and maybe next year pushes for a starting spot. As for RG this year, I think the best hope is that Lance Louis or John Jerry get back soon. Nate Garner is serviceable, but if Louis and/or Jerry are healthy, I don't think Nate Garner is one of the best 5.
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 3m CB Jamar Taylor active again, least 4 individual drills. Haven't done 11-on-11 yet. Taylor appears healthy, however Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz 7m Dion jordan inside and not involved in team drills so far today for dolphins marshall starts at cornerback;he and patterson competing Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 8m Tannehill and Moore taking turns throwing passes to each other in the end zone as they warm up. Moore did a celebratory arm pump on a catch Chris Perkins @chrisperk 13m FBs Jorvorskie Lane & Evan Rodriguez getting lots of work. Thinking only 1 stays & they trying 2 make decision soon. Chris Perkins @chrisperk 1m OL worked hard blocking inside rush (C, RG, LG) yesterday. Focusing on blocking outside rush (RT, LT, TE) today Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz 30s Randy starks has made first appearance in more than a week. Compression sleeve on leg. Not practicing. Knee issue Chris Perkins @chrisperk 30s DT Randy Starks & DE Dion Jordan just went from facility to bubble w/trainer. Rehab. 1st Starks sighting in week.
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 2m Btw, Jordan was in pads in bubble. Not now. After stretching Jordan told trainer "I was told 2 c u." Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 10s 11 on 11 beginning on far side of field. Team didn't run any yesterday as Philbin wanted to work on fundamentals. #Dolphins Chris Perkins @chrisperk 30s WR Jeff Fuller drop slant from T'hill. Gotta make that catch 2 make roster. Chris Perkins @chrisperk 56s CB Dimitri Patterson w/starters opposite Brent Grimes. Patterson still on platoon system w/Richard Marshall
Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 17s Jonas Gray getting a good amount of carries in practices. Looking to be most accomplished JG since Jerry Garcia Weak one Andrew.
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 38s Shocked how defense has fearless attitude. blitzed on 2nd & 2 v. Jags. Blitzing again today.
Philbin on Dion Jordan's role in preseason: We want to develop him on all three downs, so he gets exposure to a variety of looks." I like this, keep all the things he does on a football field evolving and fresh in his mind, keep him thinking about everything, I want the whole package to develope. Rishard Matthews, reports by some that were there is that he's real smooth and a noticeable difference between the other guy vying for that 4th position..caught that deep pass yesterday...this offense could miss a guy like that..we need his game.
Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 50s Tannehill throws to Wallace in double coverage, Wallace comes up with it for about 10 yd gain.
So much for the whole theory that our defense in practice will better serve our offense against future opponents.. Hopefully Garner solidifies the line with some experience, hopefully Dallas Thomas improves at right tackle..
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 3m T'hil looking good today, hitting TEs & WRs. Not throwing behind guys, no happy feet. OL ok so far. Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 3m Maybe I spoke too soon on Tannehill having time to throw. #Dolphins Chris Perkins @chrisperk 1m Did I mention i'm amazed at how often defense blitzes? S Reshad Jones might as well be LB. Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 30s I'm not sensing a lot of Samuda love in Twitterverse. Philbin defended him yesterday w/o anyone asking, saying it wasn't all Samuda problems
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 1m Starks, Jordan & Jerry just went into facility from bubble. Starks still wearing sleeve on right leg. Chris Perkins @chrisperk 2m TE Kyle Miller staying outside. Was in bubble doing rehab w/Starks, Jordan & Jerry. Chris Perkins @chrisperk 1m Carpenter. 44 yd FG from middle of field. Good. Strong kick. Chris Perkins @chrisperk 18s Defense doing lots of work in nickel. Same DBs as usual -- Grimes & Patterson on boundary, Marshall in slot.
Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 27s Been liking what I see from Daniel Thomas in practice lately. Showing some speed, not fumbling. #Dolphins
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 3m Defense also shows pressure a lot & backs out. Very aggressive style by Coyle. Hope DBs can play on back end. Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 3m Ellerbe intercepts a Matt Moore pass. No turnovers for Tannehill today. #Dolphins Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 1m Carpenter nails 49 yd FG. He's still technically competing for job. #Dolphins
-- Not much to pick from for top performer. 1. Rishard Matthews (a big play). 2. Nate Garner (playing tough as RG) 3. Daniel Thomas (solid work). Kelly from yesterday.
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 5m Blitz. Devlin sack. Even 2nd-team defense aggressive. Chris Perkins @chrisperk 2m RG Lance Louis on field. Positive sign. Doesn't mean fully healthy. Again, they're not tackling today. But good sign. Chris Perkins @chrisperk 1m Carpenter. 54 yds. Right hash short. Wind might have got him.
Chris Perkins @chrisperk 1m OL v DL: Pouncey pancakes Francis. They yap face 2 face afterward & get separated. No big deal. But Pouncey dominated. Chris Perkins @chrisperk 15s OL v DL: Robertson beat Garner badly, Martin draw w/Garner, incognito beats Odrick, Martin beats Vernon. OL decent today
That was weak! For starters, just in football there are: Jeff George, Jon Gruden, Jason Garrett Then some other celebrities: Jackie Gleason John Goodman Jennifer Garner John Grisham John Glenn James Gandolfini Jeff Goldblum Josh Groban Jake Gyllenhall Jeff Gordon and who can forget ex-POTUS James Garfield. Jonas Gray has got some work to do.
Is that just Perkins being cute or did Jordan really say that? I mean if he's in full pads and then is sent by the coaches to see the trainer, it doesn't sound like he's very willing to see the trainer. Sounds frustrated. Do all the players come out in full pads, even the previously injured ones, and then the coaches send them to see the trainer? Or do the injured ones come out already knowing they are headed there?
Do you mean being cute to save characters? It's reasonable to think that is what Jordan said to the trainer.
Yeah, likely not his choice, but I would think they are going to be extra careful with Jordan...he's a lock to make the team and he's likely to be a difference maker when healthy...let it go, get healthy and then resume your trek to stardom../..
Well, he doesn't know what was said unless he was standing right there or talked to Jordan about it. If Jordan said that, it sounds to me that he's not in complete agreement as to why he's seeing the trainer.. maybe he doesn't think he's hurt.
