Agreed. Makes me sick to see someone pass up on a sweet shot like that. Especially a dolphins defender.

That cost Clemons:

OmarKelly RT@MikeBerardino: #Dolphins coach Tony Sparano says
free safety job still open. Cobbs/Dobbins to return to practice: http://t.co/yJlkeKL

Rafi and myself were discussing Ty Culver winning the FS job, I was surprised that he did not win it after Clemons had a look, Rafi felt Clemons was a lock.

The outcome clearly remains to be seen, but I suspect Culver and Reshad Jones will have some whacks, maybe Amaya as well.

Saw that and raised an eye brow. Does anyone know if Miami had intetest in him before he signed from the CFL?

Really don't know, Logan began his career on the Phins Practice Squad in 07, he was waived and signed in the CFL and lit up the league.

I wonder if they think he could have some Joe Morris in his game?

5'7 ultra quick Rb hiding behind 6'5 Olinemen makes for a nightmare for the "D" to identify and attack.

Not exactly. I thought Culver was most likely the more consistent player, better option, unless Clemons made a mental leap. My prediction going into camp was that Culver would win the FS spot. If it's the thread I'm thinking of, I said that Clemons was a lock to get the first shot at the position.

RB Patrick Cobbs (hamstring) and ILB Tim Dobbins (ankle) are expected to return to practice today. However, there is “no timetable” for CB Will Allen’s return from clean-up surgery on his surgically repaired left knee. … Will Allen’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told WSVN-TV during his weekly segment on Sunday night that Allen “had a lot of scar tissue in there” that needed to be repaired. “He had a very limited range of mobility with the knee, really couldn’t bend it all the way. He went and saw the doctor and they fixed all that. When the season starts, he’ll be better than ever.” … FB Lousaka Polite was spotted ducking into the team X-ray room across the hall from the Dolphins’ locker room after Saturday’s game but Sparano has twice now brushed aside questions about the highly valuable starter’s health. … ILB Micah Johnson did well in his 25 plays, but Sparano suggested there’s no reason to worry about a left foot/ankle area that was seen wrapped after the Bucs game. Johnson said the area was a “little sore.” … Sparano said not to expect any cuts or signings before today’s 3 p.m. practice.

In a nutshell..:D

I'd expect to see a heavy dose of Rolly Lumbala vs the Jags.

Maybe he plays well, the Steelers need a Fb..we need a Returner..

KLV760 OT Nate Garner remains out of practice. #Dolphins

There ya go Des.

ArmandoSalguero KR Tristan Davis also is not practicing today. Jake
Grove back taking snaps with first team.

Odd, that means they are down to 3 Rb's.

MikeBerardino Donald thomas has moved back to starting left guard,
jake grove @ center, john jerry still RG

Imho it is down to Thomas and Incognito

BenVolinPBP Never mind, carroll is out here, crisis averted

And it is raining, odd that Ron Wolf is out there, is a decision being made on a player and Tuna wants other eyes to get a second opinion?

Especially in a rain storm.

MikeBerardino Berger down to second team w/incognito @ LG and
procter @ RG

Hmm, is the decision being made on Jake Grove so they prefer he run with the #1's?

DavidJNeal #Dolphins Camarillo and Tristan Davis on bikes for

BenVolinPBP No Camarillo or tristan davis today at practice, both out

Late in the game for Davis to be doing the Tour de Davie.

MikeBerardino Ok, so now top o-line is back to satuday's starting unit.
Lab experiments!

I wonder if Wolf and the Tuna are still watching the practice, from the Tuna Mobile, in a downpour..

KLV760 #Dolphins WR Brandon Marshall dropped a pass in end zone, picked it up, punted it. Spent the rest of practice by himself.

3 more drops for brandon marshall in today's practice, which has ended

A frustrated Brandon Marshall...

true,plus i think we have a lb or 3 that could play those positions by adding a little weight.this is one thing i am really liking about our d being so "interchangable" and not missing too much production within rotations or minor injuries.the next guy can step up and play at the same high level even if it's just for a few plays. and also i guess moving starks would help with the "best 3/4" on the field on d but i just hate seeing a guy get bounced around so much ala jason allen..give him a position and stick with it unless theres a injury that forces the move.all in all i'm glad we have the option of putting starks back at de if need be.

After "high character" and "high motor", the phrase used to describe our defensive draft picks was "versatile". I think we will see a lot of that... but not in a J Allen way.

I hope it's not getting in his head at this point.

He just needs to make a few cataches in the next game and I imagine this all goes away.

Yeah, he really needs it the next game.

KLV760 Don't want to be accused of stirring things up, but Marshall only WR not at Jugs Machine right now. #Dolphins

come on Brandon...

Hmm...anyone else beginning to suspect that #19 is like the Venom parasite from the spider man films?

Alright, here is the deal:

Tuna calls DBess up to his office, shades drawn, Ireland on one side, Sparano on the other side of his desk:

"Davone, you've accomplished more than we ever hoped for, you went from UDFA to valued member of this franchise, however Brandon Marshall is also a valued, and highly paid member of the Dolphins Family, you either give up #15 or you are going to be traded to the St Louis Rams this afternoon, one way or another, that is your offer that you can't refuse

The parallel's between Marshall and Bobby Rayburn are starting to get scary. Hopefully Davone Bess doesn't end up murdered in a sauna.

He'll either give up #15 or spend the next 2 seasons in St Louis.

Sorry Davone, bidness is bidness.

lol

He was catching the ball fine in the minicamps, OTA's etc.

The entire offense didn't play well in the scrimmage or the game and he had a big drop, hence he gets asked about it ad nauseum, you get defensive, you drop another, it gets in your head.

He doesn't need the jugs machine. He needs to clear his head and make a catch or two in the next game, with a defender on him. Then he'll be fine

I figure 1st pass of jags game will go to marshall, so he can try and get a catch under his belt, and then we can move on too something else.

MikeBerardino Too many drops for WR Julius Pruitt out here, although
Sparano singled him out for his work on special teams

MikeBerardino One of those Marshall drops was during a back-
shoulder drill vs. Vontae. No shame there. But he's clearly getting frustrated

MikeBerardino Punt return group remained the same: Bess, RGM,
Hartline and Moore

MikeBerardino Backup LT Lydon Murtha limped off at the end of
practice w/shoeless left foot. Hopefully just blisters for ex-Nebraska standout

Pruitt cannot afford those drops, and Lydon Murtha's main weakness rears it's ugly head..dude has health issues every yr.
