MikeBerardino Cobbs running sprints on the side so he can't be too
far away

Eh, good.

MikeBerardino Charles grant moved up to no. 2 right DE, it appears

Movin' on up on the strength of those 3 sacks, now can he stay there?

I forgot to mention this, but in the video of Joe Berger I posted, Nate Garner is playing at left guard in both of those games.

Just in case anyone wants to take a look.

It would not surprise me if Garner and Berger were our Starting Guards.

Ike and RGM are the only two left on Sparano Island.

I thought Garner did real good in the game time he got last year (all over the line), so I wouldn't be worried too much if he wound up starting. I'd really like Jerry to start, but can understand if he doesn't as a rookie.

Jerry is a nice insurance policy in case Garner or Carey go down, maybe both, as he is a tackle naturally but they like him at Guard as well.

Going off of his college tape, I would say that Jerry must become better at sustaining his leg drive. He is in his element when he is asked to execute short pulls.

one thing for sure there's plenty of depth
let them compete...

Short practice, there will be another scrimmage this evening at 7pm free and open to the public.

50% off of concessions..hehe..1 dollar hot dogs..

Nate garner has moved to first string left guard ...

This is like the 'Break In Case of Emergency" fire extinguisher. The "Ok Dan, go out and win it for us" concession from Jimmy.

They tried to get more power in there. But it seems that Saturday's scrimmage scared the hell out of them. They will not go into Week 3 vs Rex Ryan's defense without addressing those problems at guard.

Exactly, tonight is huge for Garner as if he plays well in the scrimmage it could cement his role as a Starter..if his foot injury did not rob him of too much of his power.

I knew it was only a matter of time before Nate Garner would be starting at LG
but as usual no one ever listens.
the guy has the size, power and the smarts that Coach loves.
with both of our tackle positions being locks and that being Garner's natural position you still can't keep the guy off the field.

Careful Killahp, Garner v Grant is a bad matchup for Garner.

I know how much you are rooting for Grant. I am too and to prove himself and make this team he will have to prove he can rush inside and he said himself he is playing in a new system having never been in a 3-4 at all ever. Garner started on this line last year.
I wouldn't quite say it is a mismatch my friend.
Not under those circumstances.

Grant is a desperate, healthy Vet, Garner has maybe 8 career starts and is coming off of a toe surgery that is why I say Grant has an advantage over Garner.

BenVolinPBP Tony Sparano is raving about rookie CB Nolan Carroll,
his preparation and the way he carries himself. Worked in the Nickel spot today

Movin' on up.

MikeBerardino "Made a big evaluation with all our players. Long
meeting" on sunday

About time, small wonder Garner stepped into the starter's role, there was a head cutting this Sunday, prospects>>>>over here>>>>>>suspects over there.

Uh oh..... what does that mean about will allen if smith continues to pick up his play and carroll is a guy who makes plays with his speed and fits at the nickel. Man these competitions are exciting. :up:

All 3 banged on that one, go Cam go, the more he can do, the better the defense will be in September

the toe is healed padre. i don't think it will be an issue however a guy playing in a new system just might have to think a little more about what he is doing. that is why grant is falling behind here in the first place. in a 4-3 he would prolly be a lock.

His injury also means he missed on strength training.

Eh, 7pm tonight..we shall see.

BenVolinPBP A #Dolphins sleeper: WR Roberto Wallace, who earns
high praise from Sparano for his skills in vertical passing game

MikeBerardino Has noticed wallace on vertical passes, "competing for
contested balls. Making an impression"

I've been high on Roberto W's measurables, 6'5 4.4 40, don't know if they can practice squad him without being poached though, especially if he has he ball skills that Sparano is mentioning.
