Miami Dolphins In Depth

• Tannehill outplays Moore, deserves chance to start

  I must admit I didn't think it would be a good idea for the Dolphins to start rookie Ryan Tannehill this year -- at least not early in the season -- because I figured David Garrard would be good enough and Tannehill would be better served learning behind a veteran [...]

• Live blog of Dolphins preseason Game 1

  It is the Miami Dolphins versus Tampa Bay.

  No David Garrard (check the previous entries). No Clyde Gates or Brian Hartline, either.

  So what to expect?

  Vontae Davis is not starting despite the insistence of some in the media that he has not been demoted -- at least temporarily.

  Matt Moore will start and [...]

• Hits keep coming: Gates, Thigpen, Feinga also out tonight

  David Garrard is not the only Dolphins player scratched from tonight's preseason-opener versus Tampa Bay.

  Clyde Gates (hamstring), Marcus Thigpen (leg), Ray Feinga (illness), Brian Hartline (leg) and Kelcie McCray (foot) have all been scratched.

  The most disappointing of these are Gates and Thigpen.

  Gates has been on-again-off-again in practice relative to his [...]

• David Garrard injured, won't play tonight

  Dolphins quarterback David Garrard confirmed moment ago he has an knee injury that will prevent him from playing tonight versus Tampa Bay and may prevent him from playing for several more weeks -- thus putting his assault on the Dolphins starting quarterback job in jeopardy.

  "I'm going to sit back a [...]

• Dolphins will require fewer seats sold to lift TV blackout

  The Dolphins today are announcing they will take advantage of the league's option of counting fewer seats sold in order to lift the weekly television blackout -- meaning the club now has to sell 51,128 tickets 72 hours before kickoff rather than the 60,500 it previously had to sell for the [...]

• Quarterbacks have A LOT to prove tonight

  This is the first of multiple posts today, including a live blog tonight, so come back often.

  Tonight's preseason-opener for the Dolphins is a time to unveil (sort of because they don't want to show too much) a new coach, a new staff, a new offense and defense, and a new philosophy. [...]

• A look at position battles heading into preseason

  Everyone has been seemingly mesmerized by the much-heralded struggles of Vontae Davis as he tries to fend off Richard Marshall for a starting cornerback job. As the Dolphins' official depth chart below shows, Davis is behind Marshall.

  It is up to Davis if he'll stay there or not, although he's had [...]

• The differences between Chad Johnson and Brandon Marshall

  Chad Johnson, who made a big deal about enjoying new freedom with the Dolphins after being muzzled in New England last season, today walked past the media and announced, "I don't do media anymore."

  The change is obviously tied to Johnson's issue with coach Joe Philbin this camp in which the [...]

• Hard Knocks sets the scene -- which is bad for Vontae Davis

  The first episode of HBO's Hard Knock spent an hour establishing character lines.

  We meet Derek Dennis first, which was somewhat curious as he was the first player cut even before he ever put on his pads for the team because the club signed Eric Steinbach.

  We meet David Garrard while he [...]

• Enough psychology mumbo jumbo -- Marshall better than Davis now

  The release of the depth chart Monday confirmed what reporters had been seeing in practice for over a week and that was Richard Marshall working a lot with the first-team defense ahead of Vontae Davis, indeed, often moreso than the former first-round draft pick.

  Hard to believe, right?

  The Dolphins were lining [...]
