Join us at Turnberry for the FinsWeekend Golf Tournament!
Derrick Shelby can only laugh when he thinks back to the experience.
Chas Alecxih’s father, Peter, never had time to play sports growing up on a farm in central Pennsylvania, so he had to go back one generation to find his athletic genes.
The Miami Dolphins have signed offensive tackle Andrew McDonald.
Prom season means special memories and romantic visions of the future for high school students, but unfortunately not everyone can approach the season with a carefree attitude.
There aren’t too many mother-son combinations sharing the kind of high profile bond as Miami Dolphins cornerback Nolan Carroll and his mother, Jennifer.
Beyond the natural connection with the Miami Dolphins’ first-round draft pick at quarterback, undrafted free agent wide receiver Jeff Fuller has a solid NFL pedigree.
The bottom line on the most important position in football, maybe even in all of sports: The Miami Dolphins are deeper at quarterback than they have been in a long, long time. Three deep. Three interesting storylines. Three players who each, at this very early juncture, can make a clear-cut argument for starting in Houston on Sept. 9th.
There will be a Mandich on the Dolphins practice field this weekend. His name is Nick and he’s a tight end from tiny South Connecticut State. He is the youngest of Jim Mandich’s sons and the fact that the Dolphins are giving him a shot is both meaningful and classy.
Sometimes you take things for granted. You see a player like Junior Seau. You see a person like Junior Seau. And you don’t truly appreciate his greatness. You don’t spend time saluting what he did as a player and you don’t spend time admiring what he did as a person.
It began with a quarterback. That alone might say everything you need to know. It followed with a big, strong, smart offensive tackle, then a muscular defensive end brimming with potential and a pass-catching tight end who can race down the middle of the field.
The best draft picks in Dolphins history? It’s an interesting debate that gets even more interesting when you factor the value of the pick. It’s one thing to get Dan Marino in the first round of the 1983 draft, but to get him with the 27th pick of that round is even more impressive.
This is Jeff Ireland’s time. His moment. The stage he covets the most.
With last month’s draft in the rear view mirror, mock fantasy drafts have begun to surface, marking the unofficial start to the new fantasy football season. There is a sense, however, that times are changing as fantasy football continues to evolve to counter?different schematic trends sweeping the league.
Despite Reggie Bush’s ability to stay on the field and deliver a career-best year, Fabiano is approaching the running back’s outlook with a bit of skepticism, if only because so many starting backs–Adrian Peterson, Jamaal Charles, etc.–were injured last season.
No matter who wins the Dolphins’ quarterback competition heading into the season, one thing has become evident. They better be ready to play fast.
“We’re going to be snap that ball at 33 seconds every time,” Garrard said. “It’s going to be non-stop, and defenses will be tired because they won’t even get to put their hand on the ground.
Because there’s no real foolproof formula for how to handle a rookie quarterback–all the current stars seem to have taken a different route to success–it will be interesting to see how the Dolphins work first-round pick Ryan Tannehill into the offense.
There’s growing sentiment that Tannehill could start from the outset because he already has a firm grasp on the playbook.
Perhaps because of precedent and the unknown factor surrounding his arrival from Canada, Jerome Messam will be one of the most intriguing Dolphins to watch this summer.
For starters, he’s having to adapt to the infamous South Florida heat and humidity.
“Guys have said I haven’t seen anything yet,” said Messam, who grew up in Toronto.
The reverberations from Rob Gronkowski’s record-breaking 2011 season are still being felt across the league.
His success will likely spawn a new breed of seam-busting tight ends because the NFL is, of course, a copycat league. This, perhaps, was the Dolphins’ reasoning behind taking Michael Egnew in the third round of last month’s draft.
CBSSports.com’s Rob Rang could see that being the case, believing?Egnew could be used to create mismatches for Dolphins receivers similar to the way Joe Philbin used Jermichael Finley in Green Bay.
