The Miami Dolphins: All Peaches and Cream...Not!
We here on the Shout have been praising Jeff Ireland and the staff for what they have done this year. It really does look promising doesn't it? The Miami Dolphins have allowed a few players to move on that seem to be having declining careers. You know who they are so I won't mention their names. They are gone and there is nothing we can do about it. Some of us, myself included...
Miami Dolphins Sign RB Mike Gillislee To Four-Year Deal
The Miami Dolphins have secured another 2013 NFL draft pick of theirs by agreeing to a four-year, $2.322 million dollar contract with running back Mike Gillislee. While nothing is a guarantee, this kid has potential and could compliment Lamar Miller well in the backfield. Then again, he could also turn into the next Daniel Thomas. Cough, cough.

The State of the Dolphins Backfield
It’s not too difficult to project what the starting lineup is going to be at MOST positions for the Miami Dolphins. Once the draft ended, the dust settled and gave us an idea as to who is going to start and where they’ll line up. However, one position specifically has become increasingly difficult to gauge – running back. Let’s take a look at some of the options the Dolphins...
Thomas: 'Nobody has leg up' for top tailback job
BY SEAN DONOVANAfter letting Reggie Bush leave in free agency this offseason, the Miami Dolphins will have a new starting tailback in 2013.Common perception is that second-year back Lamar Miller, who possesses a similar skillset to Bush, is the odds-on favorite to take the majority of the carries in the Dolphins' offense.

How will the Dolphins use Mike Gillislee in 2013?
The Miami Dolphins are in full offseason mode in mid-May. The roster is pretty much set, so we know which players will be there when training camp starts in late July. The Dolphins, for their part, are doing good in the community during their down time. Today, the entire Dolphins team visited school children and spent the day with them at Dave and Buster’s. Great work by...
Miami Dolphins: Moving Forward or Backward?
Let me tell you I had to look up some statistics for this piece, and I can't stand looking up stats.
Paul just wrote a post asking your thoughts on what our record would be for the coming season. I didn't make a prediction. You are going to have to wait until I see the team in the preseason. I believe we will be pleasantly surprised when the season ends.
I will say...
Hypocritical NFL should be blamed if Dolphins do not host Super Bowl
The Miami Dolphins have been working through the political process, in hopes of securing public tax dollars to help renovate Sun Life Stadium. We won’t bore you with the logistics of the operation, just know that the tax dollars would have been paid by tourists (in way of a hotel tax) and the Dolphins would have repaid what is essentially a loan, over a 30 year time period. The...
Miami Dolphins contenders or pretenders?
The Miami Dolphins had arguably the best off season in NFL this season. They signed Mike Wallace to a big-time contract worth over $60 million dollars. Also the addition of linebacker Daniele Ellerbee formerly of the Baltimore Ravens.
Miami also released linebacker Karlos Dansby, who was a big fan favorite down in south beach. The Dolphins have quickly turned into one of the...
NFL Draft Recap - Rounds 4-7
Here are a few late-round players with the potential to make an impact during their rookie seasons:
Josh Boyce, WR, NE - Boyce has just average size, but he could serve as the team's deep threat if he impresses in camp.
Chris Harper, WR, SEA - A big, athletic receiver, Harper makes an ideal red-zone target for Russell Wilson. Considering how injury prone Sidney Rice...

Dolphins draft Jamar Taylor, trade Bess, and select Thomas, Davis in 3rd round
Well, day 2 of the draft went just like we all planned, right? Actually, Austin (@Phinfanalyst) predicted the Dolphins pick in his round 2 mock draft yesterday. Austin predicted that the Dolphins would use pick #54 on Jamar Taylor, cornerback from Boise State….and the Dolphins did just that. Some thought the Dolphins might trade up, but they sat tight and ultimately got a...
PhinNation’s official 1st round mock draft
Before you read any further, I will let you know that I am by no means a draft expert. We leave that department to Austin (@Phinfanalyst). However, I wanted to give this whole mock drafting thing a try. Now, I should preface this by saying that this is what I think will happen, no necessarily what I want to happen. We can judge how accurate this draft was after the conclusion...

Musings: Tavon Austin opinions, strength of schedule, plus trade down scenarios
There is less than a week before the NFL Draft kicks off. The Dolphins are finalizing their draft boards, while also continuing to keep discussions open with the Chiefs regarding a potential trade for Branden Albert. We also learned last night about the Dolphins schedule for the 2013 season, so we know the road that must be traveled, if the team will make its long awaited return...
5 bold predictions for the Dolphins 2013 Draft
The NFL draft is about 1 week away and the Miami Dolphins are in the process of preparing their draft board. Personally, the NFL Draft has always been one of my favorite events of the NFL season, comparable at times to an actual game (crazy, I know!). I used to host Draft parties every season because the 1st-3rd rounds would take place on a Saturday afternoon. The perfect time...
Dolphins Draft Contest officially opens today
This has been an exciting (and busy) offseason for the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins were extremely active early in Free Agency, signing Mike Wallace, Dannell Ellerbe, Philip Wheeler, Brandon Gibson, and Dustin Keller. Then news of the Dolphins new logo was leaked, with the grand unveiling still to come on April 25th. All the while, the Dolphins have been making a push for stadium...
Dolphins new jersey style leaked?
The Dolphins might have let their new logo slip out earlier than they wanted to. But, they are trying to keep their new helmet and jerseys under wraps for as long as possible. They are hoping to have a grand unveiling on the day of the Draft, April 25th. Well, it seems that some one within the organization seems to have not gotten that memo. Earlier today on Twitter (from...
Dolphins looking to trade up in the draft?
The Miami Dolphins have been aggressive so far this offseason. They hope that their aggressive approach to add to the talent on the roster will result in a more aggressive offense and defense on the field this fall. So, it should come as no surprise that the Dolphins are rumored to be interested in moving up in the draft. The Dolphins certainly have the assets to move up into...

Musings: Vote for Marino, plus a Mock Draft, inside info on Grimes, & Lamar Miller breakdown
The Dolphins are in full poker mode, sending smokescreens and leaking the information they want to leak, all in an attempt to conceal their plans for the upcoming draft. As such, there isn’t a lot of information coming out of Davie, FL. So we thought we would take a moment and share some of the interesting things we’ve been reading, from other Dolphins blogs.
Vote for Marino...
Is Tavon Austin a possibility for the Dolphins at #12?
The Miami Dolphins have been adding pieces to their offense this offseason, to help accelerate Ryan Tannehill’s development. The Dolphins brought in Mike Wallace, Dustin Keller, and Brandon Gibson, all of which add firepower to a Dolphins offense that had very little last season. In fact, the Dolphins let their best playmaker from 2012 leave via free agency (Reggie Bush). The...
Dolphins could improve offensive line with Moore, Winston in free agency
Most would agree that the Miami Dolphins have upgraded their roster since the end of the 2012 season. However, they still have a few noticeable holes left to fill. The most glaring holes are on the offensive line and in the defensive secondary. If the season started today (hint: it doesn’t), the Dolphins would have Jonathan Martin at left tackle, John Jerry at right guard...
In depth 2013: Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins finished 7-9 in 2012, comfortably out of the playoff picture yet again while riding an offense that scored just 288 points all season. But for the first time since Dan Marino was wearing teal, it did look like the team had a quarterback of the future. Ryan Tannehill showed flashes of brilliance during his rookie season in Florida.
Pair him up with a couple new...
