UPDATE: It's now been reported that Roth DOES have a groin injury but Coach Sparano said it's not serious. Maybe he doesn't think as highly of his groin than I do of mine. Any groin injury is serious. more than anything, it's a nagging injury - obviously it's been nagging Matt Roth for a few years now.
- Just found out Vontae Davis has $3.05 million in incentives on his contract, meaning the total was 5 years, $13.3 million. My May 18th estimate was 5 years, $13.5 million. Toot toot!
- Joe Berger is lined up at starting RG, Shawn Murphy has moved to the second team.
- Andy Alleman has moved to 2nd team Center to replace Berger.
- Cobbs appears to be fine after minor 'tweak' yesterday.
- Bess is starting, Camarillo to 2nd team.
- Drew Rosenhaus is at training camp, oh boy!
- Wildcat shows up, per Mike Berardino: "Now ronnie hands to ricky, flips to henne, hits cobbs deep. Decent crowd cheers."
- And here we go - per Mike B: "Dthomas working at rg on inside run drill" !!!! (3rd team, but contact!)
- Mike B: "Thomas puts louis ellis on the ground. Ellis pounds turf with left hand" (wow, a louis ellis mention!)
- Omar Kelly chimes in: "Patrick Turner just caught a 40-yard TD pass over Vontae Davis during tandem drills. OK, I'm starting to buy the hype finally."
- Sean Smith's Agent just twittered: "Might have a new nickname for 31 Sean Smith after watching this practice. "Lockdown""
- The latest beat-write contradiction seems to be Cameron Wake. Omar Kelly has been 'feeling' him the last few days whereas Edgar Thompson called him out as a chump undeserving of a roster spot. I would tell you what Armando thinks, but he is apparently taking the practices off and not really reporting live.
- According to Omar, Donald Thomas only went through one set of tandem drills today. Still, it's a start. If he can handle two sets tomorrow, then 3 the next day, etc.
- Reports from Edgar and Omar saying Pennington stank it up today.
- Armando finally chimes in with: "Matt Roth talks to the media but says nothing. "I'm not allowed to talk about medical issues.""
- here's a phone vid from Home SuperBowl 2010, showing the size of DThomas' arms.
- Practice Video for Day 4:
- Sean Smith's agent was in attendance at practice today and said: "The stamina and fitness of Miami Dolphins players will never be tested. No one in the NFL works harder in more painful and brutal climates."
Tin, good points on Roth but I have a hard time believing he is out of shape. He's not known for being a slacker. These guys know what the conditioning test requires in advance so they prepare for it. Pennington and Henne worked on it together days before the test. I think a tropical possum monkey palmetto flu is more likely. Hopefully they don't diagnose something more serious.
ReplyDeleteIt's a 300 yard shuttle.
ReplyDeleteSir Blogs.
Tell a brotha how to embed Dolphins video.
I think something more serious would've shown up in the blood test. The
ReplyDeleteswine flu might not have, which is why I brought it up a few days ago. They
have to run special tests for that. I have to be honest, I had a groin pull
once and I could barely walk, so I can't imagine him even attempting to do
the drill. I also can't imagine Pennington running it either. I bet the
QBs don't have to do it in less than 2 minutes!
O,
ReplyDeleteI don't embed it as in use a share function per se, I download it using
Media Catcher, then upload it to the blog. It's a bit of a painstaking
process. Depending on the size of the video file it can take anywhere from
10 minutes to 2 hours to load up.
Is the practice today open to the public?
Pennington and Henne did run it but like you said there are different results for different positions.
ReplyDeleteDon Shula used to have the 12 minute run that had to be done at a certain pace. The Blackwood brothers were usually the leaders in that.
Can you imagine the pot-smoking Ricky having to do a 12-minute run? Unless
ReplyDeletehe was allowed to carry a bag of potato chips with him, I don't see him
making it...
LOL
ReplyDeleteSupposedly Ricky is in phenomenal shape or at least Sparano thinks he is. In fact he thinks the team as a whole is in much better shape than they were last year.
Tin
ReplyDeleteTell me U got pictures
Well now we know why he was a bust.
ReplyDeleteJames Jahnke, of the Detroit Free Press, reports former NFL WR Charles Rogers admitted during an interview on ESPN's "Outside the Lines" that he used to smoke marijuana "every day."
Do you think they called him "chuck" for short? Chuck Rogers.
ReplyDeleteGet it? No? ah, forget it!
I guess that makes me a bust as well. The things you learn.....
ReplyDeleteCharlie, you trying to be an NFL WR?
ReplyDeleteIf not toke on brother! 8-)
I know Drs and Lawyers and Businessman who smoke everyday.
ReplyDelete"Hard work good and hard work fine....but first take care of HEAD!"
100 Bucks says there are many others CURRENTLY in the NFL that smoke daily...though I've no way to prove it...
<span style="">"I know Drs and Lawyers and Businessman who smoke everyday."</span>
ReplyDelete<span style="">So do I but it doesn't mix with sports at the highest level in my opinion. </span>
Players who smoke everyday are taking a big risk.
not during the season there aren't. These guys get tested a handful of
ReplyDeletetimes during the season.
Home, I got a photo - Pat White...very good quality. however you sent that one worked.
ReplyDeleteIMbiasedO, No moreso than everyday drinkers. In fact I would say they are at less of a risk. Mr. Stalworth.....ahem...Leonard Little...etc. I don't partake while doing anything important such as work. After hours its open season.
ReplyDeleteTin
ReplyDeleteGot my pictures yet?
yep, there's loads of them coming through one at a time
ReplyDeleteBlow em up big
ReplyDeleteGlad you finally got em
all my photos go exclusivley to YOU
I had to them thumbnail to get them onto the page! click on each photo to enlarge. Thanks a bunch, Home.
ReplyDeletebtw, the cheerleader looks like a dwarf, but I think your phonecam caused a bit of 'warp' or fisheye effect.

Okay Hartline looks like a horse in that picture or he's saying "eeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh". Home, is he saying "eeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh"?
ReplyDeleteGood job, we all know you had a good time because you post your second thoughts before you're finished with your first thoughts. LOL
I agree with Tin, the cheerleader looks like she's from the lollipop guild, but her 'hey nanny nah nahs' look like normal grapefruits.
I thought last year everyone thought Ricky was in AMAZING/SUPERMAN-like shape? What is he in now - greek god shape?
ReplyDeleteI was going to make a Goonies reference for that Hartline photo but I couldn't remember it at the time. So here goes: "CHuuuuuuuunnnnnkkkk!!!"
ReplyDeleteDonald Thomas back at practice is very good news. I still think if he stays healthy he'll be the starting RG. It's been a long time since you could predict who the starting 5 on the Dolphins OL was going to be in training camp. We finally made it. :-D
ReplyDeleteRicky's in !@#$ing Predator !@#$ing shape!
ReplyDeleteoh, that reminds me, Home sent a phone video of Donald Thomas signing
ReplyDeleteautographs, and boy are his arms HUGE. I couldn't post it because it's in
some weird ATT format.
Tin
ReplyDeleteI`ll send more later in the week
Got loads
Thanks, Home. I'll take all the dwarven cheerleader pics u got.
ReplyDeleteYeah Thomas does have huge arms. He's a naturally big, strong dude. I wish we could find a NT prospect like him. Maybe Soliai puts it together this year and gets better for the future.
ReplyDeletethe video worked, check above.
ReplyDeleteI watched it. His arms might be as big as my waist. No wonder the Dlinemen call him "heavy", the guy is a tree.
ReplyDeletewaist huh...when i watched it I thought as big as my head...but yeah...waist
ReplyDeletesounds better...
I don't think Matt is out of condition.Hope it's just a bug, and not the idea posted yesterday that his agent is starting to paly games.
ReplyDeleteTinshaker:
ReplyDeleteIs Harvey doing your font selection for you these days? I can barely read that. Please provide a BRIEF synopsis of the past few days for me! lol In a larger font!
I'm not worried about Pennington in early training camp. This is where you take chances, make mistakes and learn from it. It's like being in a band during rehearsal, it's okay to screw up when you go for a solo or a tough part and it doesn't work out so well. That's what rehearsal is for.
ReplyDeleteBack in the day you wouldn't get this information so you wouldn't even be aware of who's doing what. Sometimes we make too much out of it.
By the way Edgar took back an earlier comment and said Pennington only threw one INT today not two and he has 3 so far. But this isn't real football yet either. Not a big deal in my mind. The preseason games is where a lot of guys win and lose jobs. Coaches like to see how players react in the spotlight. Practice is just that, practice. But it's important to get you to where you want to be for the games that count.
Okay I'm done repeating myself. *DONT_KNOW*
Um, brief synopsis, ok, um, one guy didn't show up for camp, another guy was
ReplyDeletea psycho boozer racist pig. They both got released to bring us to 80
players after all of our remaining rookies signed on Saturday. Then one guy
reported to camp with an injury. it was in his groin but he said it was a
head-cold. Then everyone went crazy and got all obsessed with this guy's
groin. Meanwhile, Chad Henne is once again beating out the other QBs in
camp, and they've benched Pennington in favor of the sophomore kid!
Herdfan same problem here but I'm freaken blind, so I gave up trying to read it. Shoot I can't read the big E on the eyechart without my glasses :) .
ReplyDeleteI had no trouble seeing Tin's girl friend though. Funny how we look at different "things" Tin thinks he seea handles and thought I saw a zipper on her flopper. I really do need new glasses...
Shula used to have the team run a 12 minute run where the player had to complete 3 laps around the football field. That was the first thing they did every day until they were able to finish the 3 laps in under 12 minutes. Larry Little's strugles were legendary in that run, and yes everyone ran it including QBs. I would imagine the only exempt from it may have Marino in his later years.
Who didn't show up?
ReplyDeleteI saw a mention about the injury.
As for the rest of it, I don't believe it!
Tried out all the recipes! 8-)
Maybe that's why I can't read anymore!
Tin, is the psycho boozer racist pig J.D. Quinn? I knew about the psycho boozer part, what do you know about him being racist?
ReplyDeleteAlso do you know why Bronson didn't show up?
Thank you for the info knight. I think I'm in trouble now. Tinshaker didn't answer me. I went back to read the blog with my magnifying glass, and it says it has been removed. Apparently someone is sensitive about the size of their font! ;)
ReplyDeleteApparently I can't get all my thoughts in one post. What is the pyscho boozer thing about?
ReplyDeletedo you know why Bronson didn't show up?
ReplyDeletehe showed up to the lingerie league training camp by accident.
I must apologize to JD Quinn if he's not a racist. He's such a gentleman,
ReplyDeletehe deserves better treatment....
LOL @ herd
ReplyDeleteherd, I believe Quinn has had a few DUIs and has been know as sort of a reckless drinker. Tin might know more.
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeletehttp://tinsfins.blogspot.com/2009/05/you-dont-know-troubles-ive-seen.html
ReplyDeleteDid someone mention drinking? Reminds me, I tried your recipes Tinshaker. Except for the one that required lighting. Did the sazaurac(sp?) and the vampire way. AND since you said I should have something on my stomach for that, I had a brownie! 8-)
ReplyDeleteWhat's w'the new sleepy-time music for the highlight's,the rock-guitar riffs made it wayyy more exciting!!

ReplyDeleteI would have gone with.....Rocky road..eh..a..eh..a!!
ReplyDeleteDude, you need to give this "I asked you a quesiton and I want my answer" crap a rest. It makes you sound like a little kid. Who cares if anyone's opinion is different than your's? Its THEIR opinion. Otherwise thx for the pics.
ReplyDeleteTOOOO SMALLL for these eyes !!! And what's w'the "echo"@ the top of all the post??
ReplyDeleteThought the old blogging format was GREAT,but now it's a strain to read/comprehend other's thoughts...
Have I mentioned I'm going blind??
I can barily read the contributors name,let alone their opinions!!
SHOOOOT,I can barily see the avitars,and I still end-up on page two!!
ReplyDelete13kvfins, the commenting software company has upgraded their system to this
ReplyDeleteEcho system. The font is the exact same size, so you are imagining that.
The only difference is that the avatars have moved to the front (which makes
more sense) and each comment doesn't have a bog box around it so it takes up
less space which also makes sense. Other new features are that you can know
link comment to Twitter accounts, Facebook pages, other websites, etc, and
the responses don't keep terracing so that the 10th response is squashed to
all hell. I remember we had one conversation about a month ago that the
last comment was about 3 millimeters wide and ten inches long.
The news system will take a little getting used to. At the moment I'm
trying to figure out how to get the pagination back to 50. When they
upgraded the system they reset it to 15, so if you go back now we have
several blogs with 5 or 6 pages of comments.
IF you say so!! Thanks for the reply!!
ReplyDeleteI can still read from the"ALL COMMENTS" section,so I'll do that until you work-out the gliches...
The font's appear wayyyyy smaller than b/4(to these old eyes)!!!
OFF TO WORK,WAAAAAAA... Tried the happy faces w'tears,but the emotiocons didn't work!!
BLOWN POOPERHOLE ??? JUSKDN!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey that video of DT's biceps is really dark and blurry..
Who's weenie arms are being dwarfed by DT's??
Actually when I saw the first arm,I said DAMN HSB wasn't kiddin about DT's arms,
then you panned-over to #66,and I realized HOLY-SHIT those arms are freaking crazy BIGGG!!
GREAT JOB w'the relative comparison!!
GOOOOOD LUUUCCCKKK Wilfork,and Jenkins,
I think those are the arm's that KINGKONG swatted down airplanes with!!
