      <title>Will the Dolphins&#8217; Free Agency Spending Help Ryan Tannehill?</title>
      <description>For the Miami Dolphins, last year started with a lot of excitement, with a new coach in Joe Philbin, a new quarterback in&#160;Ryan Tannehill, and a new buzz with the exposure created by HBO&#8217;s series Hard Knocks. &#160;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. &#160;To&#160;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.</description>

      <title>Chad Johnson turns himself in</title>
      <description>Late last week there was an arrest warrant issued for former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson, today he turned himself in.  The warrant was for violating his probation and a Broward County judge determined that he did indeed violate his probation.  The judge ordered him to be arrested and jailed, with his bond being set at a whopping $1,000.

Johnson is accused of missing two meetings with his probation officer and not completing a court ordered class on domestic violence.  Chad claimed it was all a misunderstanding and the judge then proceeded to rip into him.  It was actually pretty funny listening to his lawyer stutter trying to answer the judge&#8217;s questions.</description>

      <title>Miami Dolphins Select CB Jamar Taylor In The 2013 NFL Draft</title>
      <description>2.22 Miami Dolphins Jamar Taylor&#160;, CB, Boise State (5-10 1/2, 192)
With the 22nd pick in the second round of the NFL Draft, the Dolphins selected CB Jamar Taylor from Boise State. 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&#8217;s senior year, he was selected to the First-T...</description>

      <title>Chad Johnson Plans On Leaving The Country While Being A Wanted Man</title>
      <description>Someone needs to send Chad Johnson this report, because according to law... YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE COUNTRY WHILE STILL ON PROBATION.According to Johnson's Twitter account&#160;[below], he's planning on leaving the United States for the&#160;Dominican&#160;Republic for the Memorial Day holiday, which is next weekend. Also, keep in mind that a&#160;warrant&#160;for Johnson's arrest went out, on May 7, which Johnson hasn't responded too.The warrant&#160;stems&#160;from the&#160;domestic&#160;violence&#160;involving him and his ex-wife Evelyn Lozada last August.According to the Broward County District&#160;Attorney's Office, Johnson failed to report to his probation officer -- a violation of the terms of his probation -- and on May 7 the warrant for his arrest was issued for his arrest. Johnson also failed to show proof of enrollment and completion of the &quot;Batterers&#160;Intervention&#160;Program.&quot;As of Sunday night, it's unknown if Johnson has surrendered himself to cops, but his last known location was in Pasadena...</description>

      <title>Dolphins Ryan Tannehill must thrive as a leader in 2013</title>
      <description>&#160;

	&#160;

	&#160;

	

	This past weekend in South Florida, the Dolphins celebrated Fins Weekend which included various activities, all for charity.&#160; The events included a golf tournament, fishing tournament, and various banquet type soirees. 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.&#160; The week began with Brian Hartline setting the tone with talk of the Dolphins having the best receivers in the AFC East.&#160; 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. &#160;&#160;Later that week, Ryan Tannehill, first round pick in 2012, beamed about h...</description>

      <title>Dolphins Super Bowl party in May? Miami Herald&#8217;s Armando Salguero says not so fast</title>
      <description>The 2011 Philadelphia Eagles were so enamored by the high profile acquisitions of that free agency period the deemed themselves &#8216;The dream team.&#8217;  	However, the only problem was they never came close to those expectations.  	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&#8217;s receiving corps &#8216;as the best in the AFC East,&#8217; offensive lineman Richie Incognito was quite he opposite of his last name when he proclaimed that the &#8216;team has no weaknesses.&#8217;  	If that wasn&#8217;t enough, receiver Mike Wallace stated that second year quarterback Ryan Tannehill compares to Ben Roethlisberger, a two time Super Bowl quarterback.  	It&#8217;s understandable that there and should be excitement, but do you think Hartline&#8217;s comments aren&#8217;t being posted in the New England Patriots locker room, only the best pa...</description>

      <title>The Miami Dolphins: All Peaches and Cream...Not!</title>
      <description>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, 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...</description>

      <title>Miami Dolphins Sign TE Dion Sims To Four-Year Deal</title>
      <description>The Miami Dolphins and tight end Dion Sims, a 2013 NFL draft pick of theirs, have agreed to a four-year deal. While the numbers haven&#8217;t been announced, it will be more than the $2.322 million that their fifth-round pick Mike Gillislee agreed to. Sims has solid receiving and blocking potential and could turn himself into a solid NFL tight end if he works hard enough at it and gets a break or two here and there.

      <description>According to TMZ, free agent wide receiver Chad Johnson is a wanted man. &#160;A warrant has been issued for his arrest in&#160;Broward County, Florida that from his&#160;domestic violence conviction involving ex-wife&#160;Evelyn Lozada. The Broward County District Attorney&#8217;s Office tells us &#8230; Johnson has failed to report to his probation officer &#8212; a violation of the terms of his probation &#8212; and on May 7, a judge issued the warrant.Once Johnson is taken into custody &#8212; a hearing will be set to determine whether Johnson did in fact violate his probation. If he did, it could mean jail time. It looks like Chad is in California, according to his Twitter page. &#160;I hope for his sake there was just some kind of misunderstanding.

      <title>Dolphins talk with Adam Schefter</title>
      <description>I had the pleasure of doing a little Q&amp;A session with my friend Adam Schefter. Schefter as everyone knows is the ESPN&#8217;s top insider and quite frankly the best in the bizz.

	

	&#160;

	&#160;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.

	&#160;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&#8217;t know if he will succeed at the position or not. Does he have pro bowl potential sure but...</description>

      <title>College coaches say Dallas Thomas will quietly make impact with Dolphins</title>
      <description>Quiet demeanor. Always smiling. Gentle giant.

Not exactly words that come to mind when describing a person who makes his living in NFL trenches.

Then again, those descriptions arent why the Miami Dolphins selected Dallas Thomas in the third round of last month's NFL Draft.

General manager Jeff Ireland focused on other Thomas characteristics: athletic, hardworking, eager to learn.

Thomas, taken with the 77th overall pick, has an opportunity to impact Miami right away. The 6-foot-5, 306-pound Baton Rouge, La., native played both guard and tackle at Tennessee, and the Dolphins need offensive line help.

I fully expect him to be in there and playing, said former NFL lineman Antone Davis, football coordinator for Tennessees Vol For Life program. Obviously, a lot depends on how he comes back from the injury, but I expect him to be in there and starting.&quot;

The injury Davis mentioned is a torn labrum that he suffered during Senior Bowl practice in January. Thomas attended the NFL Combine in February but </description>

      <title>Receiver Mike Wallace says &#8216;it won&#8217;t take long for Ryan Tannehill to be one of the great quarterbacks&#8217;</title>
      <description>Miami Dolphins newly acquired receiver Mike Wallace played with one of the great quarterbacks of this era in Ben Roethlisberger, but he thinks his new QB Ryan Tannehill could be just as good.  	Wallace talked about the similarities between Roethlisberger and Tannehill, pointing out that his new quarterback has a slightly stronger arm than Big Ben.  	Coming from Pittsburgh and a lot of success, he understands what the look of a winner is and he feels being in Miami is the start of something special.  	He feels that Tannehill isn&#8217;t far off from becoming an elite NFL quarterback, and he&#8217;s there to help that happen.  	&#8220;Both have strong arms. Ryan has cannon, can really fling it,&#8221; Wallace said, via Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. &#8220;Ryan may be able to throw the ball a little farther than Ben.  	Obviously, Ben is more experienced in game time experience. The way it&#8217;s going, it won&#8217;t take long for Ryan to be one of the great quarterbacks. I feel like we can make a lot of big plays.&#8221;  	&#8220;B...</description>

      <title>The State of the Dolphins Backfield</title>
      <description>It&#8217;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&#8217;ll line up. However, one position specifically has become increasingly difficult to gauge &#8211; running back. Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the options the Dolphins have in their backfield.

	Lamar Miller

	

	For now, Miller is the clear cut favorite to run away with the starting job. A 2012 fourth-round pick, he&#8217;s 5-foot-11, 212 pounds, and ran a 4.4 at the 2012 Combing, which lead all running backs. He&#8217;s a home-run threat with explosive change-of-direction ability. He didn&#8217;t touch the ball often last year, but flashed tremendous talent when carrying the rock. He has elite straight-line speed, and his dense frame gives him three-down ability. General Manager Jeff Ireland has been gushing about this kid all spring.&#160;&#160;&quot;Lamar really showed some great signs of reall...</description>

      <title>Brent Grimes expected to be ready for training camp</title>
      <description>According to the Miami Herald, Dolphins cornerback Brent Grimes is expected to be ready for training camp after suffering an Achilles injury in 2012. If Grimes can return to form in 2013, the Dolphins will have quite the free agent steal. &#160;When healthy, Grimes is a better cornerback than Sean Smith who left the Dolphins and signed with the Chiefs in free agency this offseason. &#160; Need NFL Tickets?

      <title>How will the Dolphins use Mike Gillislee in 2013?</title>
      <description>The Miami Dolphins are in full offseason mode in mid-May. &#160;The roster is pretty much set, so we know which players will be there when training camp starts in late July. &#160;The Dolphins, for their part, are doing good in the community during their down time. &#160;Today, the entire Dolphins team visited school children and spent the day with them at Dave and Buster&#8217;s. &#160;Great work by the team! &#160;While the Dolphins are enjoying their down time, we wanted to take a look at one of the Dolphins rookies, Mike Gillislee. &#160;The Gillislee pick might not have made headlines, but I think he will be used quite a bit in 2013.

Gillislee was drafted #164 overall by the Dolphins, in the 5th round of the NFL Draft. &#160;He&#8217;s 5&#8217;11&#8243;, 208 lbs and ran the 40 yard dash in 4.55 seconds. &#160;He&#8217;s not blazing fast like Lamar Miller and he didn&#8217;t have a ton of production at Florida, but Gillislee will compete for a spot on the Dolphins roster. &#160;He didn&#8217;t become the starting running back at Florida </description>

      <title>Who will play left tackle for the Dolphins in 2013?</title>
      <description>The Miami Dolphins lost their franchise Pro-Bowl left tackle Jake Long to the Rams. To replace him, &#160;Jeff Ireland flirted with the possible trade of Brandon Albert of the Chiefs on draft day, but that was just smoke screen to draft up and snag Dion Jordan. If the Dolphins were not going to pay Jake Long eight million a year what makes you think they would pay Brandon Albert that money?.. Read more</description>

      <title>Dolphins to use carrier in SB bid?</title>
      <description>After a failed attempt to secure public funds for stadium  renovations, the Miami Dolphins' brass has focused their attention on  bids for Super Bowl 50 and 51.
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 &quot;Super Bowl Park&quot; -- and play a football game on  the deck.
The carrier would come retrofitted with a full 120-yard field.
&quot;I imagine they'll be playing touch football on it, not tackle,&quot; Volin quipped.
NBCMiami.com reports the plan also includes &quot;an interactive video exhibit and extensive  transportation plan that includes a water shuttle and railroad that  would drop people off near the park.&quot;
&quot;We've submitted the best bid that we can in every aspect,&quot; Dolphins CEO Mike Dee said. &quot;From a Dolphins perspective, we're doing every thing we can.&quot;
Everything but thinking ...</description>

      <title>Jon Gruden critical of Dion Jordan: He&#8217;s one-dimensional (Video)</title>
      <description>Jon Gruden has been criticized for his easy-going commentary in the &#8220;Monday Night Football&#8221; booth, but he certainly showed his &#8220;Chucky&#8221; side when commenting on the Miami Dolphins&#8217; selection of Dion Jordan at No. 3 overall in the NFL Draft on Thursday. Gruden, who is generally positive in his commentary, expressed many reservations about the Dolphins&#8217; pick. &#8220;When I watch Dion Jordan play, I don&#8217;t see him play,&#8221; 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 &#8220;he&#8217;s narrow, he&#8217;s got a shoulder problem &#8230; lot of unknown.&#8221;  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. &#8220;My only concern with one-dimensional edge rushers is you can counter them if you just take the time and execute your protection plan.&#8221; Hopefully you enjoyed the criticism from Grud</description>
