Guys, it looks like players are struggling to keep up in this fast offense. What do you think about it?

If practice is that intense during Miami summers, it could negatively affect the team down the road.

That was a good article..Break'em down and build'em up.
I've heard a few more direct quotes from players about not being in shape last year, I hope we got rid of Sparano strength and conditioning staff.dolfan7171 likes this. -
I can see our guys being too gassed as the season moves forward if they keep up this tempo. I don't think the coach keeps this up. probably just during OTA's.

Im sure Reggie Bush is in great shape, but nowhere near "one of the best conditioned athletes in the world" -

Obviously it must be done in an educated manner, but giving the body extra stress makes the body adapt.dolfan7171, Springveldt, unifiedtheory and 2 others like this. -

Seems to me the point people are missing here, is we will be playing this way likely all season, at least quite often in games. Nothing wrong with it leaving the players "gassed" during the first OTA. By season start, they will be in shape to play entire games this way if Philbin has any say over it and as HC he should. It is a regular tool for Brady and the Patsys, why not here?
I like Matt Moore a lot, but still expect Garrard to be our starter come September. I really want Tannehill to carry a clip board for his first NFL season. I am hoping both Garrard and Moore develop nicely in this fast paced WCO and become excellent/valuable trade bait when another team loses their starting QB in the first half of the season. We could possibly net 2 high draft picks which would be worth giving either one of them up. One needs to stay as backup to Tannehill when he's ready to take over this offense next year. -

When all is said and done, it doesn't matter how fast they run the offense. All that matters is whether or not the Dolphins have the talent to compete against the better teams in the NFL and right now I just don't see them having the overall talent on the roster. The Dolphins are at least two to three years away from being a legitimate playoff contender.
The one important item I got from this article was that Garrard appears to be the QB on the team right now who seems best suited for the WCO. I have felt this way all along and if Tannehill is going to be the backup QB this season, I feel that Moore's time with the Dolphins will soon be at an end. The Dolphins may be able to trade him for a 7th round pick or if not, I see them cutting him and avoiding having to pay his two and a half million dollar contract for next season. -
The one and only thing that matters is execution. You can run plays as fast as you want, and if what you do is get to three and out quicker, that's no help. I hope they're stressing the fundamentals, technique and timing.

When I was at Oklahoma, you'd better believe we practiced in some serious heat. Yeah we split the sessions up so as not to be out there at 1pm, but I can tell you there isn't a whole hell of a lot of diference between 1pm an 3:30 pm in that heat. There's not much of a difference between 108 and 102 in my book - its too damn hot. If anything its actually worse due to the angle the sun now hits the Earth at later in the afternoon. But I digress.
The point being the heat was exhausting, but you do adjust to it, and by god the first few teams we played in Norman typically faded in the second half. Well, actually they melted, but you get the idea.Fin Fan 4 Life, dolfan7171 and RevRick like this. -
I have to believe that all of what is being presented in every practice and meeting, that attention to detail is king especially when it comes to execution and timing. I personally believe this team is much better than what some may believe.

I dare anyone to find any physical benefit from pushing people hard in extreme heat and humidity. Tony tried it last year, the entire team looked like they were beat before the first quarter ended. He pulled back and amazing, we started winning games.
Can't wait until one of the Hard Knocks camera crews or other member of their party falls on the ground and passes out at one of our Aug. Practices. -
