DOLPHINS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Dolphins goal is to set starting quarterback by Aug. 24

First-year head coach Joe Philbin wants to have the Dolphins' starting quarterback in place by the time preparation for the third preseason game begins in late August. That's typically been the final dress rehearsal for the first-team offense and defense in preseason, with mostly backups and practice squad candidates competing in the final game before the regular season...

QB Moore zeroed in on self-improvement

Even though Matt Moore was named the team's Most Valuable Player in 2011 after leading the Dolphins to a 6-6 record, and producing an 87.1 passer rating, the incumbent starter openly admits he views himself as an underdog in the starting quarterback battle. But Moore said he's not worried about rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill, whom he admits knows more of the Dolphins...

Dolphins won't make No. 1 receiver top priority

The Dolphins' receiver unit is filled with relative unknowns and unproven players, most of whom haven't established themselves as players, much less playmakers in the NFL. General manager Jeff Ireland won't deny Miami's receivers are the biggest question mark on the Dolphins' roster following the Brandon Marshall trade considering his front-line players are...

Dolphins have what they need to replace Brandon Marshall

Getty Images The Miami Dolphins are going back to the drawing board and, this time, hope to institute a much more diverse approach to their offense with the possibility of rotating wide receivers in and out of the lineup (even on a play to play basis) and having no focus on one individual star. For the past two seasons the Dolphins relied heavily on Brandon Marshall to carry their...

Lamar Miller could play some receiver for the Dolphins

When the Dolphins drafted Lamar Miller in the 4th round of the 2012 NFL Draft, it didn’t fill a need at all at running back as they already have Reggie Bush and Daniel Thomas. However, Miller was just too good of a value to pass on. The Dolphins are trying to come up with creative ways to get him in involved. He is expected to return kicks for them. Now the Dolphins are also saying...

Plaxico Burress wants a workout in Miami; Dolphins not interested

One of the few remaining notable free agent wide receivers is Plaxico Burress. He's traveled a long, difficult road since catching the Super Bowl game winning pass from Eli Manning that destroyed the Patriots' undefeated record back in February, 2008. It doesn't seem to be getting any easier for Burress. According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Harrold, Plaxico Burress...

Miami Dolphins Should Change Tune and Work Out Plaxico Burress

The Miami Dolphins are headed into OTAs with no stand out wide receivers after trading Brandon Marshall to the Chicago Bears. Regardless of which quarterback starts the 2012 NFL season between Matt Moore, David Garrard or Ryan Tannehill, they have no clear cut No. 1 options at their disposal. That is why Miami should change their tune on free agent wide receiver Plaxico Burress and...

Don't look for the Dolphins to sign a big name WR

The Dolphins receiving might be one of most lackluster grouping of average receivers in the league but Joe Philbin and Jeff Ireland seem to believe otherwise. While it’s hard to argue that the Phins receiving core is any better than the leagues 25th best, it doesn’t appear likely that they will be adding another free agent receiver. NFL.com recently put out an article saying...

Latest news and highlights from Dolphins OTA practices

The Miami Dolphins held their first Organized Training Activity on Tuesday.  This OTA was ‘voluntary’ and brought both rookies and veterans together.  We say ‘voluntary’ because while they are technically voluntary, it’s frowned upon if players miss them.  The Dolphins had excellent attendance, with every eligible player participating on Tuesday....

Dolphins like what they see from Tannehill

Forgive rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill if he looks lost. Since joining the Miami Dolphins, he has been trying to get around town without using a GPS. Driving home one day from the team complex, Tannehill was determined to find his way without navigational help. He overshot his apartment and wound up instead on Alligator Alley halfway to the Everglades. There are sure to be moments...
