Miami Dolphins In Depth

  • Confidence is good ... now back it up, please

    One of the things that aligns people such as Joe Namath, Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali and Pat Riley with folks like, say, Rex Ryan is they all make big, audacious statements about who they are and what they're about to do.

    It could be argued that on the low end of that [...]

  • Chad Henne in his own words

    Chad Henne spoke with the media today in advance of Saturday's important preseason game at Tampa Bay.

    The minor challenge he had to his starting job prior to last week's game is apparently passed. Now, he's clear to discuss the return of Jake Long, his expectations for Tampa Bay, what statement [...]

  • Wednesday afternoon potpourri of notes

    Remember I told you a couple of weeks ago the Dolphins had a competition for the starting wide reciever job opposite Brandon Marshall?

    They still have a competition going for that starting wide receiver job. I asked coach Tony Sparano today if he had decided on the winner of the competition [...]

  • Dolphins tell Thomas he must hit hole harder

    The common thinking for anyone with eyes who has seen Daniel Thomas run this preseason is that while he may become a good player down the road, the rookie still has to adjust to the NFL game.

    Thomas, you see, is a former quarterback. He made the transition to running back [...]

  • Tuesday afternoon buffet of knowledge

    I suppose your questions surrounding Larry Johnson include wanting to know why him and not Ricky Williams or Ronnie Brown. Fair.

    It seems the Dolphins view Johnson much differently than either Ricky or Ronnie. They were starter types for Miami. Johnson is merely a backup addition.

    "Yeah I think a different set [...]

  • Dolphins announce signing of RB Larry Johnson

    The Dolphins have announced on their twitter feed they have signed running back Larry Johnson. So much for those tentative first-and-goal runs.

    Johnson, 31 years old, hasn't had a productive season since 2008 when he gained 874 yards. That was also the same year the stuff hit the fan for him. [...]

  • Reggie Bush in his own words

    I told you yesterday that Reggie Bush shot down the idea of taking the rest preseason off to avoid the risk of injury. (I suck, because it was my suggestion).

    Well, that's not the only topic Bush addressed Monday during his exchange with the media.

    Here is everything he said:

    (On your favorite [...]

  • Monday afternoon camp report (free!)

    The Dolphins did not draft anyone in today's NFL supplemental draft.

    Terrelle Pryor went to the Oakland Raiders, who overspent invested a third-round pick on the former Ohio State quarterback. No other player was drafted during this draft. All of the remaining players become free agents.

    Meanwhile, back at the stately Dolphins [...]

  • Two thoughts on adding another QB (Pryor), RB (White?)

    Sometime around 2 p.m. this afternoon, the NFL supplemental draft will have come and gone and we will know if the Dolphins made a fanciful reach for Terrelle Pryor or not.

    As I have reported here, the Dolphins were among the 14-18 teams that attended Pryor's Pro Day workout in Pittsburgh [...]

  • Long back, suddenly OL is much better

    Jake Long, who was not able to pass his physical at the start of training camp because he was still nursing an undisclosed left leg injury, passed over the weekend and is back on the field.

    Great timing by him.

    Long's return coincides with a game in which reserve left tackle Lydon [...]
