http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/teams/miami_dolphins/40 Recent articles about Miami Dolphins en-us Say this about Karlos Danbsy: He’s not afraid to set the bar high — really high — for himself or his team. During last weekend’s FinsWeekend Fishing Tournament, the veteran linebacker told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that he fully expects the Dolphins to win the AFC this season, a challenge he’s eager to accept. “As a team, I’m expecting us to win the AFC, period. Point blank,” Dansby said. “We’ve got the talent. We have the coaching. We’ve just got to put it all together. It’s going to come down to us as players going out and excelling and making sure we do everything we possibly can to win every game. “It’s going to be a challenge, no doubt. But that’s what you live for. You live for opportunities to have those challenges and we’ve got the opportunity of a lifetime here in Miami and we’ve got to take full advantage of it.” Dansby, entering his third season ...

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 opens. "You'd love to have it done by after the second preseason game," Philbin told ESPN. The Dolphins, who play the Falcons in their third preseason game, are planning to set the depth chart at all positions around that time. The ongoing pursuit of a franchise-caliber quarterback led the team to draft Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill in the first round. It was the earliest the team had drafted a quarterback since 1983, when the franchsie plucked Dan Marino out of Pittsburgh. Incumbent starter Matt Moore is the favorite, at least according to owner Stephen Ross, who projected...

But Moore said he's not worried about rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill, whom he admits knows more of the Dolphins' new west coast offense than he does, or David Garrard, a nine-year veteran whose skill sets suit the scheme. He's focused on himself, and becoming more consistent in practice, which he believes will win over his new coaches. "The competition is one obstacle," said Moore, who completed 60.5 percent of his passes last season, throwing for 2,497 yards with 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions. "The main word for me this year would be consistency. There were times last year where things were good, and two seconds later they were not so great. "I think when I get the opportunit...

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 Davone Bess, a former undrafted slot specialist, and Brian Hartline, who has scored all of six touchdowns in his three NFL seasons. Then there's Legedu Naanee, who has been dumped by two NFL teams the past two seasons. The last of which was the Carolina Panthers, a squad that's starving for playmakers. "We definitely have a lot of guys that are capable," said Hartline, who caught 35 passes for 549 yards, but scored just one touchdown last season. "It's about finding the right guys and competing at a high level." Hartline's referring to receivers that complement one a...

For the past two seasons the Dolphins relied heavily on Brandon Marshall to carry their passing game out on his own. Carry out he did; accounting for more than 30 percent of Miami’s passing yards and scoring 9 of the 20 touchdowns by wide receivers. But while Marshall was playing the hero, other receivers were not given the opportunity to step up and grow, leaving them with no Plan B. And with Marshall now looking forward to the bitter winters of Chicago, the Dolphins realize they need to encourage the others in the receiving corps to live up to their full potential. “We’ve got a lot of young guys that have a developmental ceiling”, Dolphins General Manager Jeff Irela...

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 they will be using him some as a receiver, which makes a lot of sense since they have very little proven depth at receiver. Reggie Bush is still very injury prone so there’s a chance that Miller could end up seeing a good amount of snaps at running back. Bush is a free agent after the season so Miller, once projected to go in the 2nd round, could have a much larger offensive role in 2013.

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 would like to workout for the Miami Dolphins, but the team has shown no interest in bringing in veteran wide receivers such as Burress, Roy Williams, or Braylon Edwards. According to Jackson, Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland said the he "could be done" in regards to his shaping of the Dolphins' wide receiving corp. The implication here is that Jeff Ireland wants the Dolphins' young receivers to step up instead of bringing in questionable veteran talent. Obviously, that's any team's hope, but it doesn't always work out well for teams that employ this method. Another in-st...

The Dolphins running back was watching the UEFA Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Chelsea, and he came away impressed with Didier Drogba. After seeing Drogba score a tying goal in the 85th minute and then the winner in penalty kicks, Bush tweeted about how beloved the Chelsea forward will be. At first he suggested that Drogba’s hair style would catch on in England: Drogba is the black Jesus of England! Lol! Every black person in England about to get a perm now! Lol! — Reggie Bush (@reggie_bush) May 19, 2012 OK, fair enough. But then Bush ventured into a questionable area when he suggested Drogba would have sex with a German woman later that night: The tweet was considered offensive by many for two reasons. One, some people may have mistook “hit” for some domestic violence rather than being a slang term for having sex. Two, and this is the offensive part, he referred to German women as Nazi chicks. Not only was that offensive and in extremely poor taste considering how bad of a reputation Nazis have, and that so few Germans are Nazis, but sadly, Bush was unapologetic. The running back deleted the tweet, but only because of pressure. Oh goodness bunch of sensitive cry babies on twitter! It’s just jokes people send me your address and I’ll personally FedEx you some tissue — Reggie Bush (@reggie_bush) May 19, 2012 There you go I deleted just for you guys! Big kiss — Reggie Bush (@reggie_bush) May 19, 2012 Bush should know better than to stereotype like that. He was trying to be humorous, but sent a foolish, offensive remark instead. Hopefully now he knows better.
