http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/teams/miami_dolphins/40 Recent articles about Miami Dolphins en-us BY DAN BEGNOCHEThe Miami Dolphins drafted cornerback Jamar Taylor to help upgrade their highly-questionable pass defense. If Taylor can put on the field what he's studied on film, they'll have nothing to worry about.When asked by Max Strauss of prointerviews.org which NFL player Taylor likens himself to, the second-round pick out of Boise State threw for the end zone."I like to compare my game a lot to Darrelle Revis," Taylor said. "I’m not as patient as him in my press game. I have been in the past, but I try to switch it up a lot."That’s definitely someone I watch, and try to mimic a lot. The guy is just so smart, and he’s not afraid to tackle, and he’s just so patient."Taylor showed both patience and aggressiveness in his time with the Cowboys, when he was healthy. He tallied 132 total tackles, seven interceptions and four sacks in his collegiate career, numbers that would have likely been much higher had he not missed a significant amount of time...

Brent Grimes (looking fully recovered from last September’s Achilles injury) and Richard Marshall (looking fully recovered from last season’s back injury) opened with the first team.  Dimitri Patterson and Nolan Carroll lined up with the second team. Second-round pick Jamar Taylor was not present, as noted…. Grimes was very sharp on intermediate routes, knocking away passes to Rishard Matthews and Armon Binns, but was beaten deep once by Binns…. Marshall was beaten deep by Brian Hartline on a Ryan Tannehill throw. Hartline scored on the play. If Grimes can stay healthy, he’ll be an upgrade over Sean Smith who bolted in free agency.

Matt Moore elected to remain a Dolphin this offseason. (Photo: Kevin M. Coleman) The Dolphins have certainly bolstered the roster with the additions of wide receivers Mike Wallace and Brandon Gibson and linebackers Philip Wheeler and Dannell Ellerbee among others. But while the new acquisitions rightfully stole the headlines, there was one very significant signing lost in the mix and it was that of quarterback Matt Moore. After a 6-3 finish to 2011 in which Moore threw three times as many touchdowns as interceptions, many projected Moore to be the starter in Miami in 2012. But after losing the starting job to rookie Ryan Tannehill, Moore had to settle for the job as Tannehill's backup. One common theory was Moore was a bad fit for Mike Sherman's offense, but Moore proved that he could still add value even if it ca...

He was aggressive in outsourcing free agents that wanted to take their talents to South Beach at the right price. There were a couple of in-house free agents he needed to retain – Brian Hartline, Matt Moore, Nate Garner, and Chris Clemons are the biggest names that come to mind. However, amidst all this free agent spending is a player that apparently feels neglected.  Reshad Jones, a 2010 fifth-round pick, has truly blossomed into a playmaking safety for the Dolphins. He had a Pro Bowl caliber season in 2012, while excelling in both coverage and run support. According to Pro Football Focus, he finished the year as a top-three safety with only Eric Weddle and Jarius Byrd ahead of him. He is absolutely a building block for the Dolphins and their youth movement, and a bright spot in a completely rebuilt secondary. According to Pro Fo...

It would be a stretch to claim the Miami Dolphins now sport a New-Name Defense. After all, veterans Cameron Wake and Randy Starks headline a returning frontline. Linebacker Koa Misi and safeties Chris Clemons and Reshad Jones also remain in the 4-3 defense. The unit finished 21st overall in the league in 2012. It was 13th against the run, but 27th against the pass a ranking that doesnt cut it in todays game. Changes were made during free agency and via the draft. This weeks Organized Team Activities gave the Dolphins coaches a chance to see the 2013 team on the field as a group for the first time. Several other OTAs will be held before training camp starts in July. Defensive end Dion Jordan, this years first-round draft pick, and cornerback Jamar Taylor, the second rounder, did not attend the OTA. Jordan remained at Oregon, where school was in session. His eventual presence might be why DE Jason Odrick saw time at tackle this week. Taylor reportedly was recovering from recent hernia surgery.

For some it is all about the looks. Others want to have more of a cerebral connection. Some want a person that can make them laugh and hang out like one of the guys while others (sadly) want to marry someone just like Mom. Few are as lucky as Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Not only is Laura gorgeous (and I'm going to assume they click personality wise since they are married), but she can hang with the guys as well as any macho man can. Just check out the fish she caught at a recent charity fishing tournament. With the additions the Miami Dolphins made to their offense I'd say life at work is going to be just as awesome for Ryan as it is at home!

"Tannehill has the ability to take a firm grasp on the offense and change a lot of things up," Keller said Tuesday. "That's what you want. You want a guy who has the ability to do anything. That's what the Tom Bradys, the Peyton Mannings are allowed do. "Its just really cool they give him that much leeway. The Dolphins also have given Tannehill a revamped receiving corps. Keller, wide receivers Mike Wallace and Brandon Gibson have joined Brian Hartline to form an improved unit that should help upgrade Miami's passing attack. Tannehill and his receivers worked against defenders for the first time during this week's organized training activities (OTA). "We're still learning but I'm excited by what I see from those guys," Tannehill said of his receivers. "They're all getting a grasp on the offense and Tue, 21 May 2013 15:32:22 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/dolphins_debut_upgraded_offense_at_ota/13665091 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/dolphins_debut_upgraded_offense_at_ota/13665091 Dolphins debut upgraded offense at OTA http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/dolphins_debut_upgraded_offense_at_ota/13665091 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png For the Miami Dolphins, last year started with a lot of excitement, with a new coach in Joe Philbin, a new quarterback in Ryan Tannehill, and a new buzz with the exposure created by HBO’s series Hard Knocks.  This year, Philbin and Tannehill will both be entering their secondseason leading this team, and the team will be expected to improve on their 7-9 record last year.  To help Tannehill, the Dolphins were the most active team in free agency this offseason, resigning critical team members, as well as bringing in new talent at important skill positions.

He was the sixth defensive back taken in the second round and an area the Dolphins had to get some help at. Last season, the Dolphins secondary only had 10 interceptions and they lost their best corner to free agency. They did sign Brent Grimes in the offseason which should solidify one side but the other side will be open for Taylor. Barring a horrible performance in training camp, Jamar should be able to start from week 1. He is a physical corner and should perform well in both man and zone schemes. He will also not shy away from helping in run support. With all of the moves the Dolphins did this offseason in free agency, the choice to go DB here in the second round will help balance the overall team. Miami could be very fun to watch this season. During Jamar’s senior year, he was selected to the First-T...

This coming Monday, the Dolphins take the field for OTAs with a brand new 53 man roster and various undrafted free agents working to land a spot on the team. With so many fresh faces on the Dolphins team, it's no wonder that players on the Dolphins are using Fins Weekend as a team buidling event. Last week the focus in media circles, centered on certain Dolphins playing fortune teller.  The week began with Brian Hartline setting the tone with talk of the Dolphins having the best receivers in the AFC East.  Hartline, as you remember re-signed with the Dolphins before free agency because of the potential of the Dolphins reeling in some big names the following week.   Later that week, Ryan Tannehill, first round pick in 2012, beamed about h...

Fast forward to 2013 and the Miami Dolphins, who had a very similar free agency run that has South Florida buzzing, but according to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins might want to pump the brakes some. Brian Hartline proclaimed the Phin’s receiving corps ‘as the best in the AFC East,’ offensive lineman Richie Incognito was quite he opposite of his last name when he proclaimed that the ‘team has no weaknesses.’ If that wasn’t enough, receiver Mike Wallace stated that second year quarterback Ryan Tannehill compares to Ben Roethlisberger, a two time Super Bowl quarterback. It’s understandable that there and should be excitement, but do you think Hartline’s comments aren’t being posted in the New England Patriots locker room, only the best pa...

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, agree with the moves, and others do not. Neither of us is wrong. I am not so foolish to think that EVERY move the Dolphins have made will work out. Losing Reggie Bush is not something that can be just written off with the promise of Lamar Miller, or anyone else for that matter. The fact is we really don't know. When we let Bush go I think it said more about what direction the team was heading in than what they felt about Reggie Bush's ability. My thoughts were they are going to put more on Tannehill and the passing game than what they were willing to put into the running game. I think we ar...

While the numbers haven’t been announced, it will be more than the $2.322 million that their fifth-round pick Mike Gillislee agreed to.

Schefter as everyone knows is the ESPN’s top insider and quite frankly the best in the bizz.    Q1) What have you been hearing around the Dolphins stadium upgrade project? Schefter: The NFL is very use to getting what it wants, it generally finds whatever solution it has to but they do not take no as an answer very often. The Dolphins will make the best viable business decision for the franchise, if that means moving the team to Palm Beach then so be it but if they feel that decision is best for the organization they will find a solution. I believe the Dolphins will find a way to get what they want in the end.  Q2) Will Jonathan Martin be the week 1 starter at LT? Schefter: I think that is the plan right but it might be a mistake to put it in ink. The thing is with Martin is that you don’t know if he will succeed at the position or not. Does he have pro bowl potential sure but...

And they're sure thinking way out of the box. According to Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post, the Dolphins want to place a U.S. navy aircraft carrier in downtown Miami -- aptly titled "Super Bowl Park" -- and play a football game on the deck. The carrier would come retrofitted with a full 120-yard field. "I imagine they'll be playing touch football on it, not tackle," Volin quipped. NBCMiami.com reports the plan also includes "an interactive video exhibit and extensive transportation plan that includes a water shuttle and railroad that would drop people off near the park."

Gruden, who is generally positive in his commentary, expressed many reservations about the Dolphins’ pick. “When I watch Dion Jordan play, I don’t see him play,” Gruden observed, noting that Oregon shifted defensive players in and out of their rotations like a hockey team working in shifts. Gruden thinks Jordan has great athleticism, but “he’s narrow, he’s got a shoulder problem … lot of unknown.” He also called Jordan a one-dimensional pass rusher who only tries to beat you to the outside with speed. He thinks that will be easy to defend in the NFL. “My only concern with one-dimensional edge rushers is you can counter them if you just take the time and execute your protection plan.” Hopefully you enjoyed the criticism from Grud Thu, 25 Apr 2013 21:30:36 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/jon_gruden_critical_of_dion_jordan_hes_one_dimensional_video/13485769 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/jon_gruden_critical_of_dion_jordan_hes_one_dimensional_video/13485769 Jon Gruden critical of Dion Jordan: He’s one-dimensional (Video) http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/jon_gruden_critical_of_dion_jordan_hes_one_dimensional_video/13485769 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/2/a/2a9e3c42033d22b5c7397887beb2b4ccb038cfad/mini/jg.jpg
