It’s the day before the NFL draft and I have written nothing. Not one single word. Most years I find a 7 round mock draft for the Miami Dolphins and I also use you throw in first round mock draft for the entire league. This year nada. It’s been hard trying to figure out what…

Ryan Tannehill is the Miami Dolphins Quarterback-Until he isn’t.
It is really that simple. Tannehill will be the starter until he is not. Some seem to have a hard time understanding that. Some fans feel that he’s the worst quarterback to ever come through these parts. That simply is not true. While he will never be an elite quarterback he is still a solid…
Kenny Vaccaro visiting the Miami Dolphins
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that former Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro will visit the Miami Dolphins this Thursday.

The linebacker position was an issue last season that needed addressing. I wrote about it leading up to the draft. It can be found here. It was a frustrating situation. Dannell Ellerbee and Philip Wheeler were brought in to inject youth and speed to the linebacking corps. They were expected to improve an already solid front seven….
Miami Dolphins Training Camp Primer: Defensive Line
The Miami Dolphins defensive line was a strength of this team last season and it continues to be one this year. Even with the departure of Paul Soliai and the 4-game suspension of last years first round pick Dion Jordan this unit should continue to impress. It is not simply the talent on the field it…
Miami Dolphins Training Camp Primer: Offensive Line
It is rare that a teams number one need heading into the offseason is as obvious as the Miami Dolphins was headed into this offseason. Giving up 58 sacks will do that. Having a scandal hijack your season will do that. Needing to replace 3/5ths of your offensive line will do that. There is…
