Camp Battles – WR

The Dolphins currently have 11 wide receivers on the roster, so that means that basically half of them will be gone when we start the season and cut down to 53.  It’s possible we keep 6 WR’s, although last year we only had 5 WR’s on our roster.  Our new additions Albert Wilson and Danny Amendola are obviously 2 WR’s that are IN.  Kenny Stills and Devante Parker are the other 2 that are definitely IN.  That leaves 1 or 2 spots that will be up for grabs in what I hope is a pretty fierce competition.  Let’s take a look at who’s in that competition for the last 1 or 2 WR spots.

Jakeem Grant WR – 5’6″ 169

I feel like Grant has an excellent chance of making the roster for two reasons.  The most obvious reason is his potential and experience as a dynamic kick returner.  The new kickoff rules at least in theory seem to favor speed, and Grant has that in spades.  He has returned both kickoffs and punts, and in addition, he has shown flashes of big play capability.  Last season Grant had 13 receptions for 213 yards and 2 TD’s.  That’s a nice 15.6 YPR and a TD every 6.5 receptions.  That’s maximizing your opportunities.  Personally, I think Grant is a shoo in, but I don’t mind if some of the other guys make it a tough decision, that’s what competition is all about.

___________________________________________________________________

Leonte Carroo WR – 6’0″ 211

It’s strange, but I think if anyone could ever benefit by being injured, right now it’s Leonte Carroo.  Frankly, this kid has shown so little, there’s a good reason why I consider him LC3, the WR counterpart to RB Daniel Thomas A.K.A DT3.  Both players were traded up for which squandered multiple picks (3 to be exact!), and both players are disappointments.  DT3 is now finally off the radar, but Carroo recently had a minor knee surgery which momentarily gives him a reprieve of further disappointment.  2 seasons, 10 catches and 98 yards and 1 TD for the 3rd RD pick we traded 2 additional picks for.  This guy was dynamic at Rutgers, a burly wide receiver with good speed and some run after the catch ability.  We just haven’t seen any of it and it seems as if this kid just isn’t motivated.  Maybe the actual threat of being cut will inspire him to get his ass in gear, but Carroo who doesn’t play special teams is on the bubble in my opinion.

____________________________________________________________________

Francis Owusu WR – 6’3″ 210

Owusu has nice size and speed to go with it.  The big WR ran an impressive 4.37 at his pro day, and looked good in camp and preseason, but didn’t make the cut last year.  The UDFA Stanford player has a shot this season, especially if LCIII stays on his current trajectory.  Owusu looked pretty good last year, and while he doesn’t quite have the athletic ability of Devante Parker, he has the size and speed, and looked to have pretty have good hands.  I recall being impressed with him last year in the preseason.  The kid has the ability to go up and get the football too with a nice 39″ vertical.  If he makes the most of his opportunities, he has a shot, especially if we go with 6 WR’s.

_____________________________________________________________________

Rashawn Scott  WR – 6’1″ 199

Rashawn Scott is now 26, and the former Hurricane product is running out of time in Miami.  He was on the PS and actually made into 3 games total on ST’s, 2 in ’16 in 1 last season.  If Scott can show the kind of play he had in his senior season at Miami, he may be able to crack the roster, but again, it would have to be a 6 WR corps.  His last year at Miami, Scott caught 52 passes for 695 yards and 5 TD’s.  Injuries and maturity issues have kept Scott from succeeding, and this is probably his last shot with the Dolphins, so if he stays healthy and on the straight and narrow track he has a shot, albeit a slim one.

______________________________________________________________________

Isaiah Ford  WR – 6’1″ 194

Last year’s 7th RD pick, Ford comes into training camp facing an uphill battle.  Like Jarvis Landry, Ford is more quick than fast.  He has 4.6 speed, which is adequate, but he has to run crisp routes and show good acceleration out of his cuts, which Ford does. The former VaTech player had a very nice college career, with 24 TD receptions, and 210 receptions overall.  Not to be repetitive, but I think the only way Ford makes the cut is if we carry 6 WR’s.  Ford most likely is a slot WR.

________________________________________________________________________

Drew Morgan  WR – 6’0″ 187

Morgan was an UDFA pickup last season who spent some time on the PS squad.  The former Razorback WR had a decent career at Arkansas, and is a crafty route runner.  He lacks speed and physicality and play strength so Morgan will have play at a very high level to open some eyes in minicamp and training camp.  Morgan has better than average hands, and has showed he will make the tough catch in traffic.  He’ll have to do those things and more to have a shot at making the 53.

    ORob, another thing you can do, if you know your neighbor has more than the legal amount of yard sales is report him to IRS. They’ll come out and investigate it, and most likely talk to other neighbors.

      I’m starting to see a change, he seems to be aware of his parking problems as all cars were on the drive way yesterday. you can bet i will blow a fuse when i see another Garage sale within 6 months.

    I think Grant is also a lock, I believe Owusu got injured last pre season, I would look to him making #6

  3. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    Grant is in, will anyone else join him? The guy with the most potential is Carroo, so he’s the guy im pulling for.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      Carroo should have already been much more than he is. I don’t think the guy has any drive. If he ever finds drive though, and hopefully it’s here, he would easily make the team. It’s crazy that we’re even at this point with him with a decent shot he gets cut.

    Francis Owusu is 6’3″ 210 and runs a 4.37 with a good vert and went UDFA to cut? Those are first or second day stats. Shows you there is more about playing football than what they measure at the Combine.

    And love the new theme Mike E — you are the new Omar. 🙂

  7. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    And does anyone know why Carroo does not play special teams? He looks like he should be perfect for gunner or one of the guys who push them out of bounds to draw a flag.

  8. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    As for the limited playing time for Caroo, he is a certain type rec and may be stuck behind similar recs such as Parker, not sure why they would keep him around so long without any upside

    I’m taking Grant, (love the lil guys with speed)

    And if another from this list makes it

    I like Owusu length & speed, like Scott too..

    Owusu was the guy with the preseason 99 yard TD, right??
    Whoever it was, that was a great TD!!!

  30. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Steve – Edelman? Carroo is more of an Anquan Boldin type of receiver, he’s not quick, super twitchy small bodied receiver. Not that he has the drive or the talent of Boldin, but that’s closer to his body type and skillset.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      But the Edelman type is the kind that excel there in NE, so I could clearly see them turn him into a slot WR, that’s tough as nails.

    Okay DeVante! Let’s see it on the field! (I won’t believe it even then.)

    You ran a 4.45 at the combine and declined to try to do better at your pro day…..

    (Stills ran a 4.38)

  33. D's avatar D says:

    From the last blog.
    • The Dolphins offense is present and accounted for, except for WR Leonte Carroo (knee).
    • The Dolphins defense is present and accounted for, except for defensive back Jordan Lucas.

    These are two guys who have had a couple of years now to show something and only Lucas has, and his was not much. So these injuries are really hurting their chances, especially Caroo who i think just because of fundamental changes to our offensive scheme isn’t as great of a fit anymore.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      I think Carroo almost gets a free pass (for now) because of his injury. When he gets back though, he better really up his game or I can see him getting cut.

    Ryan Tannehill said Frank Gore constantly asks him to “give me something” and he has to break down a protection for him.

    — Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) June 5, 2018
    —————————————–
    I think Gore is getting him to think about that too. I dont think Gore doesnt know what his assignment should be, but that’s part of a good QB’s job and its better that he call out the blocking assignment both because it forces him to analyze the defense pre-snap and it also gives him an idea of when he gets blitz from another player he will know he needs to make a quick read and then move in the pocket to avoid the blitz. He is really supposed to be doing it for the OC as well and then the OC changes the OL’s assignments.

    If you watch the good QB’s you will a lot of times see them look at the defense, turn and call out to the RB, walk up to the OC and talk to them (about snap count and blitz pickup, etc) then you see the OC turn and call out shit to the other OL. You didn’t see a lot of that from Tanny until towards the end of the year in 2016, and then it was kind of limited. Cutler did a good bit of it, too too long doing it most of the time but he did it.

    Gore is also being smart, because Tanny doesn’t need to get lazy when he is in there, because younger players are going to be out there a lot too and they definitely need the guidance. To me that statement above means Gore is doing his job to help the younger players learn what it takes to be a vet and its something Tanny hasn’t gotten a lot of help from having players with less experience than he had around him most of the time.

    LMAO! Orioles sweep Mets. Can you get any lower? It is so time to break this team down. Old and flawed. Trade deGrom first. Wait till Cespedes comes back and if somehehow he can play through to the All-star break and is hitting, trade him next. If Cabrera is still hitting by the All-star break, trade him too. It’s time to replenish the team with young talent.

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        I heard Francesa say he’s not sure Minaya wants to be a GM again, that he enjoys scouting young talent more than all the other stuff that goes into being a GM.

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        OK, then keep Minaya in his current capacity and get a young hungry GM who is more in touch with the game that is played today. This team they assembled is way too old, and although I like some of the individual players, it just isn’t working. Cespedes in general can’t stay on the field, and as he ages, it;s going to be worse. Frazier is past his prime and on the downswing, and Bruce is too. Cabrera is having a career year, they might be able to get something for him at the deadline, especially if he’s still hitting.

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        Agreed, that’s what Francesa said too, they should get a young GM.

      We’ve carried 3 TEs at least every year, so I don’t see those 2 having any affect on each other, if a WR is worthy of being on the team they’ll keep 6, so #6 WR is also competing against players from other positions.

        I didn’t want to bring it here. It wasn’t just Hitler and Nazi Germany, it was Japan and Italy too. Russia was with us because they had to be, they were next. But they weren’t really willful allies. Really bad times.

      • mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

        I RESPECT that you didn’t want to bring it here.

        Just be PREPARED for more really bad times, my friend. But by the same token, be PREPARED for some really GOOD times! 🙂

        We entered the war because of Pearl Harbor against the Japanese, not the Nazi occupation. We knew what was happening to Jewish people in Europe and the Eastern block, and did nothing until we were attacked.

      That’s why I find it depressing. So many lives lost on all sides for something so stupid it’s hard to comprehend. So sad on so many levels.

      Why are we still playing these games? Learn from it and move on. What is the final result? To dominate what and why?

    BTW I agree with elephant rider this is my favorite time of year

  72. olddolphan's avatar olddolphan says:

    MY favorite time of the year is the NFL Playoffs, especially after a Dolphins playoff victory. I STILL remember pacing the floor of our hotel room in Los Angeles the night before the Super Bowl!!–Somehow I managed to get 4-5 hours sleep that night!! THERE IS NOTHING like being at the Super Bowl!!

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      I was At SB X, it surely didn’t compare to SB VII, so to clarify, nothing like being at the SB with the Fins playing and winning.

  73. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    yeah, I don’t know ho the playoffs can be your favorite time of the year OD. it has been 45 years since the Dolphins have won a SB, 18 years since the last playoff win and 34 years since the last dolphins appearance in a SB. Most of those droughts are longer than most Dolphins fans have been alive.

    Unless of course you look forward to December / January so you can have your Sundays back.

    “Rookie linebackers play on special teams. It doesn’t matter if they’re drafted, undrafted, first round, second round, 10th round, 90th round. Rookie linebackers and defensive backs and running backs and receivers, they play special teams.”

    News of RT benefiting from being out last year have resurfaced. He got to see things from a different perspective, and by doing that it should further his maturation/leadership.

    I think we’ll know after this year, if he’s a franchise QB.

    • ElephantRider's avatar ElephantRider says:

      I think he knows this also. He’s a smart dude he knows the clock is ticking.
      All reports is that he has become more vocal and taking responsibility for “his” team.

      GO Phins

      • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

        I’ve heard that too, he’s not the same Howdy Doody QB he was in 2016. He’s all growed up now.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      Ryan has said regarding if we drafted a QB that he has to perform like anyone else or he won’t be here. He’s spent his life competing in sports so competition is nothing new.

    We play the cheats week 4, Edelman is reported to be suspended for the first 4 games, but is appealing, so he’ll get only 3.

    —————————–

    It turns out the Dolphins do have a way of tracking the fastest player in practice. They wear GPS tracking devices in their shoulder pads. The devices give the sports science department information on speed and steps taken, among other things.

    “We always do it every single day, to see who’s the fastest and who had the fastest miles per hour in the receivers room,” Grant said.

    Sports Illustrated says we’ll be 3-13 but don’t fret they had us going to the Super Bowl the year we signed Culpepper.

    We play Darnold and Allen twice and the Fest game makes 5 so take the over.

    Something might be off about that Landry said, he never talked like that in the past and blew off any touchy subjects with I’m just focused on football.

  92. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Hard to know the context in which Landry was saying those things, so I’m willing to give him some leeway, but if he’s just being an ass, I wouldn’t be shocked. He’s not quite the level of “ME” as OBJ, but he ain’t too far away from that either, I think they’re two peas in a pod. He really prospered here, so there’s really no reason for him to be dissing anyone here.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      He got paid because of his opportunity in Miami. Sometimes you change jobs and companies.

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        Yeah, what he was looking for monetarily wasn’t available for him in MIA, so he got it elsewhere. That doesn’t mean he should shit on us because he couldn’t get it here.

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        Agreed. It appears only CLE was interested too. There was no bidding war for him. Be happy and move on. You’re rich!

  94. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Wow, what a piece of shit Landry is. That is just completely a lie. It’s been reported every year since his rookie season that Tannehill get’s the guys together to practice on their own time. I BET I can find an article that quotes Landry talking about it.
