Rookie camp opens this afternoon

The Dolphins open a three-day rookie mini-camp today along with eight other teams. Practice is at 2:30 p.m. and I'd expect approximately 40 rookie draft picks, signed undrafted free agents and tryout players to be on the field.

The Dolphins have not yet released their list of signed UDFAs and definitely haven't confirmed their tryouts, such as former University of Miami quarterback Jacory Harris, who is expected to attend.

But below is a rudimentary working list of some of the players Miami is expected to host today through Sunday. The signees and some tryouts:

Signee Trenton Hughes, DL, Maryland

Signee Shelly Lyons, OLB, Arizona State

Signee Jarrell Root, DE, Boise St

Signee Josh Samuda, OL, UMass

Signee Jacquies Smith, DE, Missouri

Signee Jonas Gray, RB, Notre Dame

Signee Derrick Shelby, DE, Utah

Signee Derek Moye, WR, Penn State

Signee Kelcie McCray, S, Arkansas State

Signee Kevyn Scott, CB, Syracuse

Signee Jeff Fuller, WR, Texas A&M

Signee Alex Alecxih, DT, Pittsburgh

Signee Derrick Dennis, OG, Temple

Signee Terence Brown, C, BYU

Signee Dustin Waldron, OT, Portland State

Signee Cameron Collins, ILB, Oregon State

Tryout Myron Johnson, S, Arkansas Tech

Tryout Jacory Harris, QB, Miami

I'll have updates before and after practice so come back throughout the day.

I don't have a blog, it is a forum. :)

Jacory Harris over throws the sh** outta of a go route to I believe Derrick Moye by about 20 yards. Terrible!

Harris throws low and Lamar Miller does his best to get low and make the catch but traps it on a 10 yard in rt.

Harris holy crap throws ball over white guy 88 head on a 10 yard out to the sideline. Ball hits the fence.

Harris completes his first ball to Fuller on a 10 yard curl right in the numbers.

Harris completes nice post to #8 small black guy with braids.

[Ohio Dolfan]

haha Texas.....semantics :)

[Ohio Dolfan]

Troll,

My tax bracket probably places me somewhere in the middle class, not low class.......just an FYI :)

[Texas_Dolfan]

Basically the only difference between a forum and a blog is that registered users in a forum can write their own topics and let other registered users comment on it. On a blog generally the owner writes and people comment about the topic.

So as of Bee's last comment Tannehill is 3 for 2.

[Texas_Dolfan]

Just playin around Ohio. Not sure why you're attacked so much.

[Burger 305]

Tannehill was not a real #8 pick. He would've been a 4th rder last year and a 3rd rder this year if Barkley and Landry Jones came out. I agree the Fins had to draft him but he lost 6 games as a senior. If he started NFL this year we lose 13-14 games and would be in line for Barkley. Plus it could ruin his confidence and career. No reason to rush him the way Moore has performed.

[I'm Sick of this team]

I guess Ryan is too good to workout immediately. They already hiding his mediocrity.

[Texas_Dolfan]

With that logic Burger then John Elway should have been a 4th rounder. He lost 7 games as a sr.

[I'm Sick of this team]

If I were Ryan, I would be at every practice just to show leadership.

I guess that's a skill he hasn't learned yet.

[I'm Sick of this team]

I mean really, how would it look if UNDRAFTED players are pick sixing Ryan's mediocre butt?

[Ohio Dolfan]

It's all pretty much the same guy Texas......he's just extremely infatuated with me and my site.

[Ohio Dolfan]

and now he'll post under several names attacking me to make himself look like a "mob" lol

It's a sad reenactment over and over again

[I'm Sick of this team]

Why not put your #8 pick up against UNDRAFTED players? He should look like a superstar compared to them right?

Point being this...

Even the undrafted players aren't getting a fair shot under Ireland's system. He should be evaluating Tannehill against UNDRAFTED players.

How in the heck can UNDRAFTED players compete if they are not up against the #8 pick in the draft?

They already HIDING Tannehill.

Yeah, that's why you are here every day. So I guess you are sick of yourself too, like us.

[Yesterday's Gone]

Ohio,

Its Oscar attacking you. Remember, the same guy you admited toyour site and promptly began attacking me?

Oscar will use a screen name to praise you, then use another to incessantly attack you. But you dont have to believe me. LOL

[Darryl Dunphy]

...I can't say if Tannehill will be ready to go or not. We just never know. My gut instinct says that he isn't close today. I can only go by what I have seen. This is by addmitance limited, and at this point irrelevant to his status as a starter week 1. Nothing he did at A&M matters now.

But since this is the only information any of us has to go off. I find it hard to believe that in a real compitition that Tannehill will win the starting job. Even if a "draw" between competitors gives the tie to the runner. All of the question marks I had before the draft haven't changed much. The only real advantage I see is his familirity with the playbook..

I don't care that he was the 8th pick. I just want to see the Phins get this one right. If he has to sit for a year we should be understanding. To me Tannehill was the 8th pick because of his potential. If it was because of his acomplishments alone..He would have been buried in the mid rounds..

[Ohio Dolfan]

YG,

What are your thoughts on Jonathan Martin?

[I'm Sick of this team]

I have complete confidence that both Philbin & Sherman will place talent on the depth chart at the WR position.
Posted by: NHFINSFAN | May 04, 2012 at 08:40 AM
=======================================================

LOL!!! Complete confidence? Work with me on this one. Are you saying you would risk your own "significant other's life" on Philbin and Sherman doing the right thing?

You sir, are naive. Any fan who puts complete confidence in an unknown commodity and proven failed commodity is naive.

[Ohio Dolfan]

PS: I love how i was the one that posed the Tannehill starting question earlier that developed into this hour long FOOTBALL talk on this blog........but the trolls trys to claim I hurt this blog, lol

I get football convos started all the time in here....I digress

[Darryl Dunphy]

..@3:34...That was the most confusing post I have ever read..Not sure where you are going there?

[I'm Sick of this team]

I'm sure most of you folks are old enough to appreciate this.

What 23 year old is a leader of anything?

Maybe Ireland can mentor Ryan on leadership while he takes the day off from rookie mini camp. You know, things like asking grown men if their mother turns tricks.

[I'm Sick of this team]

FYI...no one gets fired because they are good at what they do.

[TGH]

The only way Tannehill starts is if the coaches are complete idiots.

[I'm Sick of this team]

@3:44... Sorry guys, that was my two year old playing around with the computer again. Won't happen again.

Its a lot easier to fing a RT than great RG. But we couldnt get Tannehill and DeCastro too.

2nd rd, I believe may have come down to Cordy Glen(2nd best OG in the draft) vs Jonathan Martin. I believe Martin won out for several reasons:

1. He had a 1st rd grade, plus would have still been a great selection even if we needed him to play LT.

2. RT was still a need position. So with Martin available I believe Ireland saw no harm in "overdrafting our RT needs".

3. Cordy Glenn was just what he was labeled, 2nd best OG in the draft. There was still a substantial drop off between he and DeCastro.

So as far as our oline needs, Martin was clearly bpa over Cordy Glenn(OG). Martin's also great insurance if Long goes down to injury. He's now the best LT option on the team, not named Jake Long.

[The Judge and Jury]

Your stunning ignorance outshines your sheer desire to be stupid.

@3:42

[FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SHUT UP!]

Ohio,

2 things.

First, go pat yourself on the back & feed your ego somewhere else. Your arrogance is nauseating.

Second, have your head examined if you think only 1 person is trolling you.

If one was to look up Naive in the dictionary, your picture would be the definition with no text required.

Sincerly,
Not Fyi, JFYI, Verdad or anyone else

[orb]

Cordy was picked right before us by Buffalo.

[Ross makes me sick]

The only way Tannehill starts is if the coaches don't have a say in the matter.

Which is what I suspected from draft day.

[Yesterday's Gone]

orb,

Guess that just cemented Martin as bpa for our oline needs.

[Ryan will bust....100% sure]

This just in. Ryan's wife intercepted the controller while he was playing Madden 2012 instead of working out with his team mates.

[Darryl Dunphy]

..@3:50...That is great. But since you are the omnipotent one. Please explain the nonesense scribbled @ 3:34.

[Yesterday's Gone]

Fact is, whether some dolfans liked it or not, oline had to be addressed within the 1st 2 picks of our draft to ensure us to have a day one starter. The need was far too great to risk another Jerry, Donald Thomas, or Sean Murphy type pick.

[Yesterday's Gone]

my post disaapeared.

[Yesterday's Gone]

Guess not, now its uo @ 3:58 PM. LOL

[Ryan is HOF because he is a Bust]

@3:58

Please explain why Ryan is too good to attend rookie mini camp and lead this team from day one?

[Yesterday's Gone]

Kind of sucks when another poster asks your opinion on something, then you go thru the trouble to reply, and they never have a further comment about it. How 'bout that Ohio? LOL

[Ryan is HOF because he is a Bust]

This just in. Ross builds the first ever NFL Hall of Shame. First inductee will be Ryan Timothy Tannehill.

His number will be retired along the likes of Chad Henne.

[Yesterday's Gone]

IMO, if you dont have time to answer a poster, you also didnt have time to ask a question of him. Guess you live and learn. I just learned. LOL

[Ryan the Lion will be Dying in 2 years]

LOL!!! You folks telling me some of these guys won't make the team? And that Ryan shouldn't be there establishing relationships from day one?

LOL!!! Excellent front office we have in Miami.

[Yesterday's Gone]

Ohio,

Im begining to believe like the troll attacking you. Except, I dont believe youre any longer coming here to recruit bloggers, you're coming here to recruit and steal ideas for your blog. I will no longer be contributing in direct responses to you.

[They gonna boo me if I practice]

They already hiding their #8 pick from the world.

[Trolls make me sick also]

True fans don't form alliances. True fans believe what they believe.

That's what separates the trolls from the fans.

[Darryl Dunphy]

...RIHBHIB.. Do you know for fact that Tannehill will be absent for the whole period of this camp? Where was it reported he was absent today(I hadn't heard this).

[Can you read?]

I can read. Can you read? Scroll up and read those names.

[al]

tannehill wife is just blonde,,,but not hot,,,look closer, big forehead,,long skinny feet, and no body definition what so ever, but maybe after a pay check or two,,,all of that will change.

[Pay the Sham]

Ryan won't practice until Ross pays him. That's insurance because even Ryan knows he sucks.

[Tracy474]

If you'd say something interesting and engaging, YG, I might respond more often. I don't live on here, but check in several times a day. I'm a real person who has been posting on here before Mando took over (back when Jason Cole ran this blog). So, your personal attacks mean nothing to me, Snowball!

I got yer cyborg....hanging!

[Lee]

what happened to Shawn Asiata, the fullback from Utah?

[IMAWriter]

"Signee Alex Alecxih, DT, Pittsburgh"

Mando, that last name has to be a misprint!
Unpronounceable.
Sort of like Dr Michael humphrururur, Steve Martin's character. LOL

Greg, Murtha was not so much the "turnstile" as you said, THAT was Columbo.
Murtha can play several positions competently, so he has value.
