*** DOLPHINS TRAINING CAMP ***
Aug 21, 1999: -- Day 24 - Aug 19th --

TODAY'S REPORT:

Before I begin today's report, I want to let you know that I have two very big surprises that I hope you will enjoy. Fans from San Diego have supplied me with both pictures and streaming video of Thursday's practices in San Diego. Jason has sent me some digital pictures and the Van Man has set up a server that has streaming video of the practices on it.

In order to access these, you must have access to the web, because there's much too much stuff to send out in an email or a newsgroup posting. The digital pictures are on my website and the streaming video is on another web site. Check the links at the bottom of this report for the URLs.

The Dolphins practiced twice with the Chargers on Thursday and got some good work in against their west coast foes. Unfortunately, the biggest news of the day was when Ryan Leaf (who was watching from the sidelines) got into a confrontation with an obnoxious fan. No blows were exchanged, but Leaf managed to get himself on ESPN again while having - shall we say - a "discussion" with this fan".

Also, on the field, Dolphins' offensive lineman John Bock got into a little fight with a San Diego player, prompting JJ to say after the practice that 3 practices with an opposing team was about the maximum that you can have without tempers getting too heated.

RB Karim Abdul-Jabbar, DT Tim Bowens, DT Daryl Gardener and QB Dan Marino were all held out of the afternoon practice. There is no problem with any of these players, but JJ decided to give them the afternoon off.

Apparently QB Damon Huard was having some trouble passing on Thursday while Craig Erickson improved enough to create real competition at the backup QB spot. Unfortunately, Larry Shannon did not have a very good day on Thursday, dropping some passes. Robert Baker, however, continues to improve.

I'll let the eyewitness reports (we have 3 today), pictures and streaming video tell the rest of the story about Thursday practices for you. Enjoy!

OUTSTANDING PLAYS:

Apparently, WR Robert Baker had the play of the day, hauling in a deep pass from Damon Huard. But CB Ray Hill also had a good day, getting a couple of interceptions and a fumble recovery. And FB Rob Konrad caught 3 passes in the 2 minute drill, including a touchdown.

JJ'S COMMENTS:

As I've already pointed out, JJ said that 3 workouts with another team is about the maximum that you can have without having some serious problems. But, JJ did say that the team got a lot out of working with the Chargers.

JJ went on to praise WR Robert Baker and DB Ray Hill for their work on Thursday and said that RB Cecil Collins did work on Thursday afternoon, despite having suffered a stinger in his shoulder on Thursday morning.

ROSTER MOVES:

There were none on Thursday.

FUTURE EVENTS:

The Dolphins practiced by themselves on Friday morning, without the Chargers. They face San Diego on Saturday night at Qualcomm stadium for the 2nd pre-season game of 1999.

JJ plans to give Dan Marino a lot more work this week than he got against the Saints last week. Also, we should see both Karim Abdul-Jabbar and Cecil Collins line up with the first team offense against the Chargers tough first string defense. That will give us a better indication of how well Cecil performs against a real defense.

WR Lamar Thomas will not play on Saturday night, but Larry Shannon, Yatil Green and Robert Baker are going to get a lot of playing time against the Chargers. WR Tony Martin will also play, even though he's been in Miami for most of the week.

Robert Baker will also get a lot of chances to return kicks and perhaps even some punts.

Lining up at starting right guard will be Kevin Gogan, who was moved ahead of Kevin Donnalley on the depth chart this week. However, we'll also see Donnalley at right guard, with Gogan at left guard, Bock at center and Mark Dixon at left tackle. There will be lots of offensive line switching on Saturday night.

Also, you want to keep an eye on defensive backs Jerry Wilson (#24), Ray Hill (#28) and Emmanuel McDaniel (#26). These three are competing for the dime back position and the one with the best game will advance his chances of making the team considerably.

The game will be broadcast in Miami on TV, Channels 4 (Dade, Broward) and 34 (Palm Peach). It will also be available via realaudio

DirecTV has the following broadcast times and channels listed for the Dolphins/Chargers game:

Sat - 11:00 PM EDT/8:00 PM PDT on Channel 653 (Fox Sports West 2)
Sun - 3:00 AM EDT/12:00 AM PDT on Channel 653 (Fox Sports West 2)
Sun - 8:00 PM EDT/5:00 PM PDT on Channel 634 (SportsChannel Florida)

INJURY REPORT:

WR Oronde Gadsden (back), FB Roosevelt Potts (calf), DE Walter Scott (knee) did not make the trip to San Diego due to injuries. RB JJ Johnson (strained left hamstring) and WR Nate Jacquet (sprained right big toe) did not practice on Thursday morning and Cecil Collins also missed some time after suffering a "stinger" in his left shoulder. Collins did get some work in the afternoon practice. WR Lamar Thomas suffered a partial dislocation of his left shoulder in the morning and sat out the afternoon practice.

LB Sammie Burroughs (back) and LB O.J. Brigance (back) remain on the clubĘs Active/Physically Unable to Perform List. LB Anthony Harris (groin) is expected to be out 10-12 weeks as he recovers from surgery performed on August 3.

EYEWITNESS REPORTS:

We have an embarrassment of riches in the eyewitness report department today. First, we have Rick's report about the morning practice, then we have a report from the Van Man (who sent up the streaming video for us), a report from Dorian and a report from Jason, who provided the pictures. First up is Rick:

First thing I'd like to say about Thursday's practice against the Chargers is WOW! It was the first (and probably only) practice for the Phins that I've been to and it was awesome.

We got to the UC San Diego campus at 8:45 after being told by the Charger's public relations office that the first practice would start at 9:30. Well, it started at 9:00 instead so I'm glad we got there early enough. The Dolphins were milling around on the field after being bused to the field. The field itself was two full length fields, one to the west which was near the bleachers and the other to the east which had no bleachers. However, the fence surrounding the field was close to the field allowing the several hundreds of fans that showed up a great view of the action. The weather was great: 75 degrees and partly cloudy, which probably made the Dolphins players very happy.

All players were dressed in shoulder pads and shorts for both practices. Among those who made the trip but didn't dress were JJ Johnson, Nate Jacquet, and Drew Rosenhaus...oops, I'm sorry he's not a player (but he was fishing for new clients on the sidelines...weird to see him).

Because it was difficult to see everything at once (it was beyond a three-ring circus), I'll talk about the practice regime first. I'll then follow it with what I saw about individuals in practice.

At 9am, they started stretching. At 9:15, they broke off into groups of o-line, d-line, LBs, DBs, and QBs and WRs/RBs together. Special teams also started, specifically kickoffs. Avery, Marion, Baker, and Kio Sanford (#1) returned the kicks. At 9:30, the special teams got together for the teams and practiced, which occurred near the bleachers and I didn't watch it since most the Dolphin's activities were on the opposite field. At 9:45, the teams offenses and defenses practiced individually. At 10:00 and the rest of practice, the opposing offenses and defenses got together for drills and game type situations: 1st and 10, 3rd and 5, red zone, and two-minute drill. The afternoon practice followed pretty much the same pattern.

Now for the individual analysis (I spent most of the day watching the offense because that is where most of the new players are):

QB's:

Marino was right on for most of the day; at least the morning because he sat out the afternoon practice after coming off the field with an ice pack on his elbow(?) after the first practice. The thing I saw that I liked was his improved long passing ability; he connected several times deep with Yatil Green and others. Hope his arm is okay.

Huard did well, especially in the two-minute drill where he connected twice to Rob Konrad for 40 yards and a TD. He wasn't as consistent when with the starters in the afternoon.

Erickson did well also. His passes seemed to have some zip to them. He also connected deep to Parmalee in the afternoon practice.

Gonzales was almost non-existent. He struggled when he did exist.

RB's:

Jabbar had some good runs but nothing spectacular; he also missed the afternoon practice for unknown reasons (at least to me). Overall, the Chargers defensive line was fairly stifling, as there stats last year would support.

Collins' was tackled for a loss by Junior Say-Ow! on his first run and banged up his shoulder and he didn't practice again in the morning. When I interviewed him after the first practice (as I asked for his autograph), I asked him how the shoulder felt. He answered, "It's okay". In the afternoon, he came in with the starters and added a spark to the offense. His first run went right up the middle where he broke into the secondary. The defense tried to get a little more physical with him after that, throwing him to the ground a couple times. He still did well; he can really make them miss tackles.

JJ Johnson was running while the practice was going on. I also "interviewed" him and asked about the hamstring. He responded, "It's getting better". Detailed interviews!

Parmalee had a very good day. He was the second-team RB and had several good runs. More importantly, he caught at least two bombs down the sidelines for TDs. He showed very good speed.

Avery was dropping passes and doing his little dances. I guess Jimmy is not allowing him to even be the back-up running back.

Juan Johnson had a nice run in the afternoon but didn't get many shots.

Of the fullbacks, Rob Konrad made the big plays, especially in the two-minute drill. He picked up his blitz assignments and caught the ball well. The first catch in the drill was an out to the sidelines, where he outran the defender for a 30-yard gain up the sidelines. The next play was a nice over the shoulder catch in the endzone.

WRs:

McDuffie was terrific, consistently getting open and making ever catch, though for relatively short yardage.

Lamar Thomas started opposite McDuffie. In the morning practices, he caught many of the sideline passes thrown his way. Unfortunately, he injured his shoulder in the afternoon practice when going for a bomb and getting tangled with the DB. He was visibly upset when he left the field to board the bus. It didn't look good; hope he is okay.

Yatil Green had a very good day, having the play of the day when he caught a bomb from Marino, going up and colliding with the DB to catch it; a very physical move. Other times, he showed great speed in getting by the DBs.

Willie Green had some drops in the morning but played better in the afternoon.

Shannon had a tough day. He dropped at least three catchable balls. He made a great over the shoulder catch in the endzone to fans applause but he knew he had one foot out-of-bounds. I "interviewed" him, asking how he felt (in general). He said, "Very sore," with a smirk on his face. In the afternoon, he did better.

Baker did well, catching one TD pass where he stole the ball from the DB. But he also dropped some.

Steagull and Sanford had equal catches and drops, although Sanford did get open deep once for a TD.

TE:

Hard to evaluate, but didn't make many mistakes. Perry had a nice low catch as he was being hit.

OL:

I spent a lot of time watching these guys since I was an o-lineman in high school. My first impression is how big these guys are. At the fence, we were within 20 feet of them while they were running their drills. It's hard to evaluate their performances but I made a couple of observations:

First, I was pleasantly surprised to see how well Donnelley and Gogan seem to get along despite them fighting for the same job now. They seem to genuinely like each other.

The other thing I noted is that although Gogan seems to like to joke around with everyone, he really likes to tweak Grey Ruegamer. Almost every chance he gets, he's in Grey's face. At one point, they were going one-on-one with Grey blocking Gogan. Grey got underneath Gogan, made a good push, then just as he was about to get the best of Gogan, Gogan throws Grey to the ground like a rag doll. The rest of the o-line was hooting it up, also dogging the rookie. I "interviewed" Grey after practice and said, "It looked like Gogan was getting the best of you (which I now regret asking that way)". Grey's face turned from a smile to a frown and he said, looking me square in the eye, "That's just part of being a rookie". I'm just lucky that he didn't go Ryan Leaf on me (By the way, I didn't see what happened but by the time it got around in the afternoon practice, Leaf and the fan came to blows and Leaf was in the hospital...it makes for good press).

To make this a bit shorter, I'll just summarize the little that I did see of the defense. Overall, in the morning practice, the Chargers offense was throwing down field on the our defense because they were unable to run on us. They had little success in the morning. In the afternoon, they completed a large number of long passes against our defense, many times consisting of second stringers. However, T-Buck made at least one terrific interception. Several Charger fans were complaining that on most of the longer passes, the Dolphins had double coverage, which is good for us. But it seemed to open the middle of the field a bit more for the Chargers, which also seemed to be a problem in the Saints game for our defense. Overall though, our defense did fairly well against the Chargers offense.

Well that's it. I'm sorry it's so verbose but I've been pretty excited about the whole experience. The good thing for you and your readers is that my attending a practice will probably not happen again for a long long time.

From the Van Man, we have the following report. He is also the guy responsible for the streaming video and deserves a huge thanks!

Not begin able to put down my impressions of the practice till Friday evening I purposely did not read, listen to sports news so as not to affect my own impressions. Be interesting to compare them later to others.

Missed the morning practice...but the buzz was everywhere. Seems Ryan Leaf let his emotions get the better of him with a heckler. Once I understood the essence of the event it became a non factor insofar as the Dolphins are concerned. The big news is that Dan [reportedly] injured his hand to some degree in the morning session and did not dress out for the afternoon practice. I asked around but was not able to determine severity or instance.

As has been stated numerous times the practices are very organized. Unlike the practices in Florida the weather was a balmy 69 degrees with a nice ocean breeze. The sun was direct and hot however. Two fields laid out next to each other with camera towers everywhere. The fans had a nice bleacher section and also had access to move around the edges of the field. I would estimate between 400-500 people were at the practice. Hard to gauge however.

I spent most of the time watching the Offense play the Chargers defense. This is a very good test as Dan did not play, no Martin, Huard with the 1st string. Though not a pleasant thought for what it would mean, fans should relax in knowing the kid can play. He has touch when he throws. Makes quick decisions.

Overall impressions:

Gogan is a very big man.

Huard has the respect of his team mates.

Jr. Seau is very intense.

Collins is for real.

Miami has several running backs that could be used to "move the pile" in lieu of Collins or Abdul. Not every down backs, but big driving backs. And they work at just that.

The Phins O line is very, very "together". They joke, cajole, push bet, dare, insult, challenge and encourage each other as a group. They work hard. Gogan is the leader.

Practice started out with individual drills. O line, receivers, punters, et. On the far side of the field the special teams immediately started to scrimmage each other. I was not impressed with the Dolphins special teams play.

Running plays were first, almost all in the middle against the chargers. A watered down middle drill. Backed up against the 10 yard line. Cecil busted away three times. Once up the gut with a quick bounce to the outside that left everyone in the dust. The O line looked good.

Short passes got added to the mix. The tight ends looked good with Drayton hanging on to everything. H.Goodwin caught a few also. He seemed to be favoring his leg at times. But was very physical. There was no tackling and the hitting varied in intensity as time went on. The scrimmage ended with a fight between the phins O and the Chargers D. Was to far away for details at the time.

The backs looked good coming out of the backfield all day. Parmalee had a good day also. One really nice 30 yard over the shoulder catch from Huard that dropped right in the basket. Later Gonzales floated a 40 yarder on the same pattern that the safety had time to come over and pick off. Gonzales put a LOT of balls in the dirt and had two picked off that I saw.

As far as receivers Green had a good day, OJ was OJ, Yatil had a few nice catches. When he is in on a play it is beautiful. He does not run in the rotation that often. Lamar Thomas had one spectacular catch down the left sideline and double tip-toed to keep an over the shoulder reach 45yd floater in bounds. There was a player wearing number 1 that was catching everything. Do not know who he was. [Ed Note: He is Kio Sanford - Just signed]. Smaller receiver. Fast, glue for hands. Feisty. Baker also made a few nice catches. All of the receivers made a few. There were a few drops also. Green, dropped a really nice deep in. I missed the others in detail as I was trying to run a camera part of the time.

The D was on the other field. The good news was that I only heard the San Diego crowd roar about three times. Each time I saw a San Diego player with the ball trotting towards the goal line. The Dolphins did it a LOAD of times.

I watched the end of the Defense scrimmage. Zack was Zack. We had very good pressure on the QB. They had a scrambler 3rd string QB named Wheelahan (spelling ?) that gave us fits. To be understood however as we were not compensating for his scrambling in any way. Ended up with a two minute drill where the Chargers had 45 seconds and one time out from 1st and 10 on their 40 yard line to get in field goal range (the 30). Our first string not only held their 1 string, but was credited with two sacks (trace, taylor) but taylor also hit the ball from behind on a play that almost resulted in an int. (The D had two ints that I saw in the short while I watched them!, Brock and T-Buck). We stopped their 2 min cold. Their 2nd string made it to the 30 on the last play, a 30yard scramble by Wheelahan.

All in all a great showing. We're looking good. Go phins!

And now, we have a report from Dorian:

I was able to catch the last half of practice between the Miami offense and the Charger defense. Overall, the receivers looked better than yesterday. Yatil and Dan were both absent, presumably both sitting out the second practice of the day. Here are the 7-on-7 drill re-caps:

7-on-7 drill (plays numbered sequentially)

Line of scrimmage set at the Dolphins 15 yd line:

  1. Huard connects down the sideline to No.1
  2. Huard passes to L. Thomas coming across the middle; it's a poor pass into the ground
  3. Gonzales bullets one to H. Goodwin about 20 yds down the middle of the field (a dangerous pass but performed almost to perfection)
  4. Gonzales hands off to B. Parmalee who sweeps right for 7-8 yds before first contact
  5. Erickson badly overthrows (by about 15 yds) D. Steagall down the right sideline
  6. Erickson, from the shotgun, throws incomplete to McDuffie who is crossing the middle about 10 yds out; a poor pass well behind McDuffie
  7. Erickson rifles one to R. Baker but the ball bounces off his chest; incomplete (but should have had it)
  8. Erickson badly overthrows W. Green on an up and out pattern
  9. Huard connects with No.1 [WR Kio Sanford] on a 5 yd crossing pattern; No.1 got an additional 10+ yds before being contacted by a defender
  10. Huard tries to connect with W. Green about 15 yds down field but the pass is under thrown
  11. Huard passes incomplete to D. Steagall in the flat; the ball was a little high but should have been caught
  12. C. Collins runs for 10 yds off of the left tackle
  13. Huard throws the ball into the ground 10 yds pass the line of scrimmage; not sure who he was throwing too
  14. Huard pitches to Collins to the right; gain of 4 yds
  15. Juan Johnson gets about a yd on a sweep
  16. Scary Play! A deep ball is thrown to L. Thomas and the ball is knocked away by No.30 of the Chargers defense. L. Thomas falls to the ground clutching his arm. It did not look like there was any serious contact on the play. Saw them wrap Lamar's shoulder on ice. Fortunately, he did not leave the practice field suggesting that it wasn't too serious (let's hope).
  17. missed the play watching them deal with Lamar
  18. Erickson rifles a pass to R. Baker in the flat
  19. Erickson throws well behind No. 1 who was on a cross pattern
  20. Huard connects on a short pass to Collins for 4 yds
  21. Huard, under pressure, dumps the ball to W. Green at the line of scrimmage
  22. Huard connects with a beautiful pass to B. Parmalee deep down the sideline
  23. Erickson wiffles a pass towards R. Baker and the pass is easily intercepted
  24. Huard, under pressure, throws incomplete to D. Steagall on a crossing pattern; the pass was well defended by the Charger DB
  25. Huard connects with McDuffie on a nice out patter; 15 - 20 yds

Ball is moved to the Dolphins goal line:

  1. poor pass by Erickson to Drayton; appeared to be miscommunication on the play
  2. J. Johnson runs for a tough 4 yds up the middle
  3. Huard connects with Drayton on the right sideline
  4. J. Johnson runs for 4 yds off of the right tackle

Sides of the field are switched - a 45 second drill with no time outs:

  1. Erickson connects on an 8 yd pass to Avery who subsequently runs out of bounds
  2. False start
  3. QB sack of Erickson
  4. (team in hurry-up offense) Erickson completes a nice 12 yd pass to R. Baker
  5. (hurry-up offense continues) Erickson throws incomplete to R. Baker
  6. Erickson throws again to R. Baker; a scuffle between Erickson and No. 37 of the Chargers breaks out with one or two swings thrown

Fortunately, that was the last play of the practice and things didn't get too ugly. Overall, Huard still looks much better than Erickson. The receivers appeared to have more concentration today, although there were still some balls dropped that should have been caught. From what I hear the Fins are on there own tomorrow.

And last, but certainly not least, we have a report from Jason, who provided us with the pictures:

Couple corrections about yesterday, when I mentioned Gadsen, I meant Willie Green (he was bigger than I thought). And another thing, yesterday I was just able to see the first half of the practice when they ran the unit drills, just FYI. Okay, but today, I got to see the whole thing and here we go.

What a blast, I would have no problem with the Dolphins relocating to California, so that I could watch them play all the time, but it just wouldn't be the same... San Diego Dolphins? No, probably not. Well once again there was a ton of fans out there today, and once again the Dolphins seemed to be outplaying the Chargers in most facets of the game.

Unit of the day: Running Backs... Cecil and Jabar are ripping off runs left and right, they were both breaking tackles and powering through the middle. Konrad also had a good burst up the middle, the OL seemed to be opening holes well. The recievers weren't doing too well, the backs probably pulled more big catches out of the backfield. Dan Marino was held out of practice (no reason) and Huard saw limited throws. OJ was looking good, but Lamar Thomas was having the worst day, he was getting seperation and had the opportunities, but he just couldn't pull them in. About half way through practice he beat a man deep and had the ball throw in his direction (by Gonzalez), but the ball was short, Lamar went back for it, it was almost intercepted and Lamar took 5-6 steps clutching his hand before dropping to the ground, he was later escorted off the field. The practice was very uneventful, it seemed as though the Dolphins were holding back their starters, Garner and Bowens didn't participate heavily in drills.

Near the end of practice, the was a fight, didn't get a chance to see who, though. I also heard that in the morning practice, one of the dolphins players [Ed note: actually, he probably means Ryan Leaf] blew up on some charger fans that were heckling (didn't get a name though).

I stayed to watch the Dolphins offense when the squads split and must say that the goaline passing offense is bad. Lamar missed a couple and the only reciever to pull in anything was OJ. I'm not sure who #1 was but he seemed to have a decent day, I was told his name was Kio? and whenever he made a catch, one guy and his family would go crazy (prob knows him). Mare and #3 on the Chargers were having a kicking contest, and although 3 was winning, Mare was kicking against the wind.

Play of the Day: Parmalee broke a swing pass down the right sideline for what would have been a 50-60 yard score.

Players of the day: Parmalee, Gogan, and Dixon - I have nothing but love for these guys, they were the only ones to wait and sign autographs, meet people and shake hands. I was surprised when I meet Gogan, that it was Gogan (didn't look as evil as I expected), and Dixon was giving interviews to the local TV stations. Parmalee was the first one towards the bus and the last one to get on, he must have stayed signing autographs for about 5 minutes after all the players had gotten on the bus. Great guy, pleasure to meet him.

With the way Jimmy went for the bus, he should be our running back, he dipped and dodged, and made a nice run to the bus, thanks to a great block from a security guard on a autograph seeker.

Anyways, I'm still trying to get to the game on saturday, but to all the dolphins fans there, lets hear you!!!

By the way, I was able to snag the digital camera from work so I got a couple pictures, like 30, I included some of the ones I thought were best, but if you want them all, I can send them.

It's been a pleasure, Jason.

My Comments:

I want to especially commend the Van Man, Jason, Dorian and Rick for going to the trouble of providing all this information for us. They have been terrific.

As far as the team is concerned, I think it's fair to say that things are falling into place pretty well. At running back, Collins is certainly pushing KAJ and will probably move ahead of him by the time of the Denver game. But KAJ is performing very well and it would be a shame to see him go.

At receiver, Larry Shannon is shaky again and Willie Green still hasn't shown us anything. Of course, Shannon is hurting, so that may have something to do with his problems, but he's on the borderline for actually making the team.

But the man of the hour is Robert Baker. According to one of the coaches, Baker has been the second most impressive rookie in camp, after Collins. It looks like Baker will make the team at this point and if JJ keeps six WR's, that means that those 6 will be OJ McDuffie, Tony Martin, Yatil Green, Lamar Thomas, Oronde Gadsden and ... probably Robert Baker.

That means that Nate Jacquet, Willie Green and Larry Shannon could end up on the street. That would be a surprise.

On defense, the biggest battle right now is for the last cornerback spot. Jerry Wilson was the dime back last year, but he got roasted late in the season a couple of times and JJ has been looking for a replacement. Both Emmanuel McDaniel and Ray Hill are showing real talent and Ray Hill has been praised several times by JJ after practices. Hill also had a sack last week against the Saints on the corner blitz and that was been Wilson's specialty last year.

Now, if Hill can only play special teams....

The upcoming game against the Chargers will allow the team to look at lots of these players on the field. Remember that this game tonight is for giving these individuals a chance to shine. If the Dolphins don't win, it doesn't matter. What's important is how guys like Cecil Collins, Ray Hill, and Robert Baker perform.

That's what this game is for.
