HERE WE GO!!!
Today is the first day of training camp when the pads come on, early word is the defensive line is dominating the offensive line. If you are thinking about calling Evan Mathis right now and offering him your first born, slow down. Suh might have something to do with what is going on so far. And its early so…
I could oink a bunch of observations from camp, but some days your trotters are tired. So we can always rely on the gift of photos.
One of these guys is going to dominate offensive lines this season. I’m told Darlington has a great bullrush…
How you celebrate throwbacks!
This is what pressure feels like…
Yeah, Lazor don’t look at his hair…
No, no autographs for me. I have to save ink in case I have to re-sign again.
I hope Miko’s not on twitter again…
Cameron wake posing with his breakfast
I will never let you go football
ready to start!
Me too!
Gonna back up Miller
That is my job!
I swear we are not making fun of Jonathan Martin

Oink and first
Since I wrote it, I guess I should be first…
Nice job Piggy
Practice is over you know?
Yeah
I don’t get up early enough to do this earlier…lol
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly · 3h3 hours ago
Jay Ajayi with a nice check down catch and he stiff arms a defender. He’s smooth catching passes over the backfield.

Nice shots Pig.
“Cameron wake posing with his breakfast”……..he ain’t no Minnesota dentist. Unless we are playing Detroit of course. 🙂
Batman?
LOL
LOL
Ok, I just updated my Season and Roster predictions on the link up the page. Does it save automatically?? Check it out. I win. I am the only one to do it correctly…
I picked all 53 and put them in depth order.
Already?
Metsies, Metseis, Metsies!!!
You know the great Nolan Ryan was on the 69 mets
Yes
I just checked WQAM and was treated to the duo of Twitterella and Miko Grimes. After about 10 minutes it was clear that these may be two of the most annoying and ill informed people I’ve ever heard. Two morons talking over each other with completely misplaced know it all confidence.
LOL
But she makes blowjob birthday cakes
of course she is qualified to tell us all about the Dolphins
Tim, I did it for the exercise of it. It was tough cutting guys!! It will change as training camp progresses.
The Flying Pig says:

And we have seats reserved already……..
NFL networks training camp coverage the past three days has basically been a steady rotation of Cowboys, Jests, Cheatriots, Bills and Broncos with a different team thrown in every couple of hours. .. Fascinating TV.
LOL
bat — I’m actually fine with that. Far prefer to avoid the hype factor. Rather sneak up on folks. Plus the game is played btwn the lines.
http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/article-1/Practice-Really-Began-When-The-Pads-Came-On/52cf7498-99d8-4a24-a015-4985c8f1bd5b?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Stanger, I’m not looking for them to hype Miami. With imbeciles like Jamie Dukes and Heath Evans around quite the opposite would be true. I would just like to see some coverage of other teams rather than the third report in an hour about how the aging slope head in Denver is handling a new offense.
you know all you out of towners can catch the nightly camp report from local news stations cbs and fox by going to their websites. I think it starts at 11.30 pm but they may have it on website where u can see it anytime.I know it used to have Bokamper hosting it but I don’t know now. I believe one show last 1/2 hour and the other is about 15 minutes
Not one thing about Yoenis Cespedes????? WTF! This blog sucks!
LOL
He’s in the lineup tonight right? Give me the lineup?
He is in the lineup, but I don’t know where for sure. I suspect this
1 – RF Granderson
2 – 2B – Murphy
3 – LF – Cespedes
4 – 1B – Duda
5 – C – d’Arnaud
6 – 3B – Uribe
7 – CF – Lagares
8 – SS – Tejada
9 – P – deGrom
Cespedes may bat 4th instead, in which Murphy would move to bat 3rd.
You know Suh is good when this happens.
——————————-
”When you’re going against a player like that, a guy that’s going to come out and give you his all each and every play, every day, it’s going to make you better,” said center Mike Pouncey, who confessed after facing Suh and the defensive line in camp, he was often too tired after plays to ”talk trash like I want to.”
Yep! It’s the strength of the team. we shouldn’t knock the OL because of it.
Turner said the same thing back in OTAs. Who else will be better than facing Suh on game day?
I won’t knock the OL……but if I was a coach I’d be very interested in who best withstands the storm.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/espn-analyst-chris-mortensen-cancels-boston-radio-interview-222311239.html
Mike, I’ll go with this.
1 – RF Granderson (L)
2 – 2B – Murphy (L)
3 – C – d’Arnaud (R)
4 – LF – Cespedes (R)
5 – 1B – Duda (L)
6 – 3B – Uribe (R)
7 – CF – Lagares (R)
8 – P – deGrom (L)
9 – SS – Tejada (R)
Could be Tim. As far as I know, we haven’t batted a P 8th yet this season
All I know is, the lineup looks so much better with Cespedes in it. 🙂
We’ve done that with the pitcher many times batting 8th. That’s why I said that.
P Carlos Torres gave up #52 for Cespedes. I think he’s going to wear #72
Ah those Mets. Wish my team was good enough to be two games from the division lead. 🙂
I don’t know if the Mets will have enough to catch the Nationals.
The Nats have had all kinds of injuries and are still ahead in the division.
They are starting to get healthy (Zimmerman, Werth, & Rendon came off the DL this week) and have sharpened their bullpen up.
Seems the Mets or Nationals will not have a chance at the wild card unless the Pirates or Giants collapse.
Mets are 3.5 back of the 2nd WC. Even if the Nats surge…….lots of season left for that.
2 games. We have to win the division. We’re in a 3 game series now. 1-0 as of now. 🙂
The lineup changes with Cespedes, Uribe and d’Arnaud.
Wow
When did Mortenson become public enemy #1 in New England?
Anyone see ExMachina?
I saw it Thursday and I loved it
One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time
If you are a fan if dark scifi like blade runner, it’s for you!
LOL Piggy,
EVERYONE is NE is mad at life.
He was asked to come onto the show in Boston to talk about something but then he caught wind that they were going to grill him about his sources in the PSI report he leaked which eventually was deemed false (the PFT report recently said the NFL intentionally leaked bad info to him to disperse publicly while giving Steven A Smith some legit info on the Brady cell phone destruction).
It will be interesting indeed to see how it all plays out but the Nats are more talented as a team. They just haven’t been healthy enough to reach their potential.
Healthy you say? Cry me a river! LOL

i would be happy with a team that can hit a fucking baseball. got to suck to go out and throw 7 and a third perfect baseball only to lose 2-1
Just dropping by.
Looks like it was a great 1st day with the pads on. Lots of different players to be happy with.
My boy Tanny is said to be looking real smooth, like he’s been doing this for a decade!
Go Phins!
Tinny is the best thing we got going for us. He gives us a real shot.
^ tanny. damn iPad lol
Great to see you say that! 🙂
I want to watch this o-line in a preseason game against real opponents before making judgment. Without Albert it’s really impossible to tell what we got
Like what I hear about Douglas already separating himself @ LG. Looking like Dallas Thomas may have to be a back-up, or go in @ RG if Turner can’t figure a way to slow Suh….lol….maybe even Linkenbach @ RG.
Jets GM Mike Maccagnan said the Jets have had talks with free agent G Evan Mathis’ agent.
It is unclear what “talks” mean, but it does not sound like anything is imminent. Mathis has likely priced himself out of the market, meaning he will need to either drop the asking price or find a team more desperate for guard help than the Jets and Dolphins. The latter seems unlikely.
Maybe we won’t be desperate anymore if Douglas keeps seizing the opportunity!
Go #75
we are going to be good on Oline. With the competition they will go up against every day plus the mentoring from those same guys plus the reputedly very good O-line COACHES plural we have we should be good.
I am more excited to hear about how good, and consistently good Tannehill is looking.
Think we will at least be OK on the OK given what we have on the end and straight up the middle. What happens at G will determine if we can be better than that.
I’m okay with being OK on the OK. LOL
he has small hands
Like Carny’s
what I especially like is how the front office has reinforced the team with additions that will compliment Tannehill. Stills and Landry both caught over 75% of the passes they were targeted on (2nd & 4th in the league) last season, Parker was brought in to be a big catch radius / catching machine, (Miller also caught 73.1% of his targets)
I am predicting that Tanny will be a top 10 QB this season in yards, YPG, Comp%, TD’s & QBR
Fuck yeah and anyone against ti sucks. 🙂
Dear Mr. Marino, are you making Tannehill view film with you?
you got to love the talk on here like
‘you cant tell anything at practice’ ‘got to wait for game time to see how they perform’
then:
the online will be better cause at practice they go up against suh and great competition.
lol, which is it?
Either or both Rob. Who are you to say? Hmmmmm? One post might be from a cantankerous Koolaid drinking lolly pop sucking sun bathing idiot though….Cantankerous being the part you should be aware of
SO STAND THE FUCK UP AND ROOT FOR THE TEAM
rock,
my comment had nothing to do with the team. and i was just laughing at the irony on here at times. so dont get all cantankerous or you will have to suffer the wrath of tim
Piggy,
If like to see Ex Machina… Is it subtitled?
No
It’s an American movie
http://www.exmachinamovie.co.uk
I’d not if
( I declare a new slogan for the Phins: #rambotogether )
The Dolphins players still marvel at the type of training they went through one day with the Navy Seals.
It’s been more than a month now since the Dolphins wrapped up their June minicamp by doing some Navy Seals training, but the experience clearly left a mark.
In the case of wide receiver Jarvis Landry, it inspired to don a different look at practice. He’s now wearing a makeshift bandanna in the same mold as Rambo from the “First Blood” movie series.
“I just took a different approach to it, a different mind-set to it,” Landry said. “For me, I think about Rambo. Every tine I think about some army stuff and just that transformation he made when he wasn’t John anymore. He was Rambo. Just for me being able to come out here and play the game that I love at a high level, I wouldn’t say it’s a fashion statement — it’s just a little personality coming out that’s all.”
Center Mike Pouncey, for his part, still marvels at the type of training he went through that one day and the notion that Navy Seals do it on a regular basis.
“Man, that was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” Pouncey said. “You get a different respect for those guys, the stuff that they have put up with, the training that they have to go through just to protect us on an everyday basis. It opened my eyes to a different perspective about those guys. I really appreciate everything they do because they put us through some things … it was only one day’s worth, so I can only imagine five days’ worth of that. Some guys ain’t going to make it.
“It was a great event. You could tell that everyone was really into it. You didn’t want to let the guy next to you down and so it was really good for our team-building this offseason.”

Sure it’s not a bandanna from Tropic Thunder? j/k 😛
I’m not yet sold on RT getting to elite but he’s improved every year he’s been in the league in all categories except yards per completion. His yards per attempt is below 7.0 at the moment (probably due to the OL problems to date). I’d like to see him get to 7.3-7.5 (7.5 seems to be the minimum to get to borderline elite conversation. 8 or better is cream of the crop (top 5 QB).
He’s certainly capable of obtaining elite status….IMO. The skill set is all there sans some refinement in a couple spots, which we’ve seen get better each season he’s been here.
The YPC is something I’m not really blaming Tanny on. As you mentioned, it has been a lot of what the OL is doing or not in this case, as well as the WCO system being used, lots of passes to the backs, etc.
I see Stills & Parker getting him firmly into the 7+ YPC range, especially as the OL comes together.
LOL, I hope Da Kid sees that.
Al,
tanny just needs to connect on a few long passes this year and he’ll get his average up to 7.5 pretty quick. We need 30 tds from him and hopefully 12-13 ints. He won’t be the problem this year.
30-9 is my prediction. Like that means anything. LOL

Wake blows by Ja’Wuan James in drill. Then Suh gets by Turner. Then Jordan Phillips knocks Pouncey on his ass. Wow!

I guess Mike isn’t smiling any more with the rookie putting him on his ass!

The more I watch DT Jordan Phillips the more I’m impressed. If he keeps his stamina he could b seriously disruptive.
184 is going to blow up some O-line this year!

T’hill nice 10-yd TD throw to TE Jordan Cameron. Good protection, good throw, good catch. Coverage decent, too.
But did he get concussed?
