Training Camp Updates 8/14-15

[cuchulainn]

Sunday: Tannehill threw three touchdowns in practice, one to Jarvis Landry on a short route over the middle from the 12-yard line, one on a quick slant to Jay Ajayi on the goal line, and the most impressive one of all was an intermediate throw down the sideline to wide receiver Griff Whalen who made a great catch to bring it down.

[cuchulainn]

Some of Sunday's 8/14 Updates:


Chris Perkins @chrisperk Aug 14
Appears 1st OL unchanged...C Pouncey, LG Thomas, RG Turner, LT Albert, RT James. Apparently that's the best 5.

Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley Aug 14
Dallas Thomas still at left guard. Cue the teeth-gnashing.

Luis D. Sung @FLSportDebater Aug 14
Jason Jones sacks Tannehill on the first play, guess who got beat

Luis D. Sung @FLSportDebater Aug 14
Arian Foster with a nice cut through the middle. Didn't play against the Giants but he still looks the best out of everyone

Hal Habib @gunnerhal Aug 14
Tannehill hits Stills over middle. Offense showed some rhythm last few plays. Meanwhile (heard this before?) Parker just running sprints.

Luis D. Sung @FLSportDebater Aug 14
Tunsil at LG with the starters now. Tannehill hits Landry short near the sideline, had time to throw.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk Aug 14
T'hill to Ajayi...short throw, maybe 20 yds YAC vs. LB Jenkins. Nice job by Ajayi, good throw by T'hill

Luis D. Sung @FLSportDebater Aug 14
Someone blocked the pass at the LOS, couldn't see who. Tannehill fires down the sideline and hits Griff Whalen for a touchdown. Good route

Hal Habib @gunnerhal Aug 14
Tannehill to Griff Whalen, busted coverage, 29 yards to walk into end zone.

Hal Habib @gunnerhal Aug 14
Tannehill nice read, hits Sims over middle.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk Aug 14
T'hill TD to TE Sims vs. blitz. Alonso & Misi came, T'hill quick pass after recognizing blitz. Good job by all.
Luis D. Sung @FLSportDebater Aug 14
Tannehill had to fire fast to Landry over the middle, linebackers were coming on a blitz. Offense looking much better today. Makes me happy

Luis D. Sung @FLSportDebater Aug 14
Foster in the flat for maybe a yard, then Tannehill fires to Landry for a touchdown bullet over the middle. Play was at the 12.

Luis D. Sung @FLSportDebater Aug 14
Tannehill picked off my Lippett in the endzone on a fade. Stills looked confused on thay route tbh

Luis D. Sung @FLSportDebater Aug 14
Sam Young got beat by Jordan Williams. Sack on Doughty.

Luis D. Sung @FLSportDebater Aug 14
Wake and Chris Jones exploded off the line and sacked Tannehill. He's getting frustrated.

Luis D. Sung @FLSportDebater Aug 14
Moore hits Grant over the middle on an intermediate cross. Pocket was closing in.

James Walker @JamesWalkerNFL Aug 14
#Dolphins rookie TE Thomas Duarte with a nice catch down the seam over rookie DB Jordan Lucas in team drills.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk Aug 14
TE Duarte nice deep catch over S Hendy...good throw by Dysert

Chris Perkins @chrisperk Aug 14
11 on 11...1s v 1s...LG Tunsil, RG Turner

Chris Perkins @chrisperk Aug 14
Maybe we're witnessing (pun intended) changing of the guard

Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero Aug 14
Adam Gase just had a two minute heart to heart talk with Kenny Stills during practice. Dolphins need Stills to be good in 2016.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk Aug 14
Gotta watch TE participation closer...Sims seems to getting as many reps as Cameron. Might be wrong on that, tho.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk Aug 14
DL appears done for day...guess this might be final period of practice

[cuchulainn]

Monday 8/15 Updates:

James Walker @JamesWalkerNFL
#Dolphins No. 1 cornerback Byron Maxwell is back on the field today. He sat out of yesterday's practice as a precaution.

Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Earl Mitchell, Kenyan Drake, Chimdi Chekwa, MarQueis Gray among the injured players not practicing today.

Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
No change to the Dolphins depth chart this week.

Antwan V. Staley @antwanstaley
Jakeem Grant does have issues catching the ball. He might be one of those guys you just have to accept that with him because of his ability

James Walker @JamesWalkerNFL
#Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill incomplete to TE Jordan Cameron. Good breakup by CB Tony Lippett.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
T'hill sack. DE Jason Jones gets past RB Jay Ajayi. Mismatch in pass protection there.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
2s v 2s...LG Tunsil...nice job v DT Phillips, DE Fede

James Walker @JamesWalkerNFL
#Dolphins QB Matt Moore completes to rookie WR Leonte Carroo for another first down in team drills.

The Dolphins appear to be locking in on Laremy Tunsil playing left guard. His tackle reps are going down. John Ulrick is second team LT.

James Walker @JamesWalkerNFL
The second-team guards are Laremy Tunsil and Jermon Bushrod at the start of practice today.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk 12s12 seconds ago
Moore sack. LB Burgess. He's flashing in camp.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk 8s9 seconds ago
CB Al Louis-Jean PBU. Good play.

Andre Branch with a sack of Brandon Doughty.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
Seemed to be blitz period for defense. They applied lots of pressure. Pass protection needed work.

Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
Lippett standout in first team session today, with two pass breakups...Thomas, Turner still first team guards...pass protection still shaky

[cuchulainn]

Third offsides on the defense.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
Tunsil does well v DE Jones, who is at DT. Reshad Jones PBU at line of scrimmage.

James Walker @JamesWalkerNFL
#Dolphins S Reshad Jones bats down a QB Ryan Tannehill pass on a blitz.

Brandon Howard @BHowardFinsWire
Tannehill stared down his target Reshad Jones read his eyes and batted down the ball.

Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero
Unsung name that is on course toward making this team: Wide receiver Griff Whalen.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
DT Chris Jones sack. Bullrush v Tunsil. He has problems with Jones.

Terrence Fede with a sack of Tannehill. Sack, sack and more sacks.

Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
Chris Jones sacks Tannehill, who throws down ball in disgust. So it goes.

James Walker @JamesWalkerNFL
#Dolphins DT Chris Jones beats LG Laremy Tunsil inside to sack QB Ryan Tannehill. Bad play by the rookie. He still has room to grow.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
Appears this practice focusing on pass game/pass protection so far. Very few running plays in 11 on 11

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
Tunsil creeping in w/1s a bit more. Almost feel bad 4 Dallas Thomas. Been so-so, but can't hold off No. 13 pick.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
And now the OL v DL drills are over. Dammit.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
WR AJ Cruz smooth at fielding punts. Was Arena League star. Wanna see him in games.

Michael Thomas and Tony Lippett just mugged Isaiah Peads. Great work gentlemen.

Rashawn Scott beat his two gunners and got to the punt returner. He has special teams value.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
WR Parker out there with 1st team again...appears he's full speed today

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
T'hill to Pakrer on slant...Tunsil Ok v Suh

Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
Now first team guards of Tunsil, Bushrod. Both Never played guard before Friday but most intriguing combo.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
Wake might've had sack. T'hill inc for Parker deep on right sideline.

Tannehill throws deep to DeVante Parker and it's a little off the mark. Still like the attempt.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
T'hill rolls right and makes accurate pass to Parker. Well done by T'hill & OL.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
Blitz. T'hill to Stills. Tunsil picks up Paysinger. Nice job by all. Offense doing better v pressure

Suh and Wake combine for a sack on Tannehill.

Chris Perkins @chrisperk
Sack. Suh (and maybe Wake). Tunsil nice job v DE Jason Jones, who is at DT

Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley

Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
OC Clyde Christensen said he has no idea who starting guards will be for Dolphins and o-line must get better. Wants more from RT, TEs, too.

[DolphinsFreak]

It took more than two weeks but the Dolphins finally got some work in Monday during a typical South Florida downpour.

The results were not good.

“We didn’t look good enough,” offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen said. “It was disappointing. We’re going to play in some rain games. We need wet balls and we fumbled a couple of snaps. That’s unacceptable. I’m glad it came up where we can address it. We had too many fumbled snaps and operations issues, that can’t happen.

Christensen then added sarcastically: “It might rain down here during the season.”

The skies were overcast for much of the practice before the rain moved in from the east, turning into a downpour as the wind also started to whip up. The heaviest of the rain lasted about 15 minutes.

Christensen was happy for the work.

“We needed that wet day, we need some rain,” he said. “I’d like to tell you we were way ahead of the game and we’re not. We got to clean it up.”

[Seadog]

We fumbled a couple of snaps, who's we....

[cuchulainn]

Seadog - backup QBs. Perkins and Armando mentioned it above in the tweets.

[Seadog]

OK, thanks
