Well grab it back. Welcome to the NFL.

Yeah I was listening to Rome at lunch and he replayed an interview with Orton from yesterday. Orton is a class act period, guy says all the right things. And then you hear the Tebow quotes, the twitter, the woody paige interview quotes...just doesnt sound like this Tebow character i heard about in college. Then to have Lebron back you up...ish that is never good.

How bad did that look? Not good. Sparano comes out losing this season, I cant see him making it through the season. Owner wants a big name in there...maybe a college coach big name. U gotta a guy familar with the state of Florida sitting back working part time for yall, wonder if there is interest?

Imagine if that was our situation. I'd bet that one group of Miami fans went out to practice one day and chanted Orton's name, and then since they got all that bad press about it with Sparano's reaction, another group went out to practice a different day to show their support for Henne.

Either way, glad it's not us. Drama free TC = good times.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

Can anyone provide more information on Landry's injury, my buddy just sent me a message that people on the radio said he might not be playing this season, and that he made a big mistake not getting offseason achilles surgery. I hope this is totally false, but I'm a little worried.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

I don't think he'll miss the season, but he says his achilles is not healing as quickly as he would have liked and instead of the platelet transfusion (or whatever it was he had) this past offseason he said he may have to consider traditional surgery next offseason

It wouldn't totally surprise me though if he misses the start of the season, and I don't expect him to play in the preseason

But that's just my speculation. He, of course, says he's playing the opener

I heard on ESPN980 that IF his achilles doesn't respond this season, he may need surgery next offseason. The last tweets from some of the local reporters said that he wants his achilles has healed bu wants for it to get stronger before he goes full speed. I think he should let that achilles heal or get stronger during the offseason.

Another good camp recap...

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

Was at the camp today, I just want to mention some things I saw, although I cannot say much because my friend and I were at wrong spot, could not see QBs' actions during scrimmage sometimes. Plus my friend talked lot through out the practice..

Beck and Rexy didn't play great today, both made some bad throws; although Beck played better than Rexy.. Cooley didn't play. Davis looked pretty quick for TE, I'm really hoping we will use two TEs set often this season to take advantage of Davis' talents. Hankerson had few drops. Hightower really stood out in the practice today, he played with explosive and ran hard. Overall, the offense looks ok, but definitely better than last year..

As for defense, Riley started for Fletcher, Rocky at Riley's spot, Jackson started in Kerrigan's spot, Buchanan started for Hall; not sure why Fletcher and Hall were not playing. Riley looked good on the fieldWilson got burned few times, he was lucky QBs didn't throw to his side on those plays.

Landryslice, I don't think you need to worry. I saw him doing some exercises and he didn't look like he had any problem with his achilles.

Their personnel guys believe that you can build a successful offense around Brandon Marshall, Reggie Bush, and some spare parts.

Their FA signings included Marc Columbo, who they then created an opening for so that he could start.

Their owner is so clueless that they're not going to be able to find an adequate replacement for Sparano when they actually need to.

It's going to be a rough decade for Dolphin fans.

Good stuff man. Some of the veterans were given time off to rest...I think it was Fletch, Orakpo, and DHall.

I agree. That contest was rigged like a Don King boxing match.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

[quote=SmootSmack;820501]Interesting. One guy I had heard was playing pretty well was Wilson

Maybe he did. Like I said, I was at wrong spot so I didn't get some good looks at some players who were on left side. I could only see Wilson when his man went deep. Wilson did make a nice play on first play where Stallworth went deep, he leapt and batted the perfectly thrown ball away. But then Wilson got burned two plays after a little while, although Wilson slowed down little bit at ending. If QB saw that, I'm pretty sure he would throw the ball deep. On different note, I have to say I'm surprised to see Buchanan playing Hall's spot instead of Barnes, considering he will be suspended for first four games.. I was really hoping that Barnes will have a chance to play as #2 or #3. But Buchanan did play same good form like he did last year, which is good news. Seems like Buchanan fits in this kind of defense..

I have to admit, I didn't pay much attention to Clemens. But from what I saw from him, he played good. He was pretty spot on with receivers.

For those who are curious about Lorenzo, he's moved to Orakpo's side. He looked slim compared to last year.. It doesn't look like he will have a chance to compete for ILB spot, at least we could use him if it is an emergency.

Yea that's what it looked like. Orakpo participated; Fletcher, Hall and Cooley were the only uninjured vets that didn't play.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

Cooley is dinged up.

If they can just play

Yet apparently he's practicing with the second team. I don't know if thats to give Grossman some decent receivers in light of having to play with the second line or what.

Just please don't bench the promising rookie for the average veteran again. We saw how well it worked out last year.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

I'm not very happy about these continous reports of Landry being lame footed.
If he thinks he needs achilles surgery next offseason there is no way he will be 100% effective for this season.

Yeah, route running seems to be a work in progress but he keeps dropping passes -- that was the knock on him on the scouting report though so hope that gets worked out.

And if he going to need achilles surgery next offseason, one has to wonder how effective he will be in 2012. That's a procedure from which there is no quick return and could be the reason he's held off having it done.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

Henson cut apparently from twitter

As per Chris Russell, on ESPN980, Sav Rocca is in the US and should be at skins park today.

TH already has had 2 fumbles in training camp. Sample size is small but you hope this isnt a trend...
