The Five Most Intriguing Training Camp Stories
The Miami Dolphins’ rookies have reported to camp and everyone else is soon to follow (7/22). Afte a disappointing 2024 season where the Dolphins missed the playoffs for the first time under head coach Mike McDaniel the Miami Dolphins look to return to their 2023 form. Whether it’s the health of a room, the cohesiveness of a new unit the Dolphins have a lot of intriguing stories to pay attention as they approach week one in Indianapolis.
-
- Who Stands out at Corner and Whom Do they Sign? At the top of everyone’s list is how will the Dolphins cornerback room look. The Miami Dolphins parted ways with both Kendall Fuller and Jalen Ramsey leaving their one with just one proven starter in Kader Kohou. The good news for the Dolphins is that there are still a solid amount of options available at corner. But as for the room it will be interesting to see who stands out and its also possible to find out as they have to go against an elite tandem of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
- When Will Jonah Savaiinaea Sign and How will the New Unit Mesh? The Miami Dolphins finally made additions on their offensive line, adding guard James Daniels via free agency and drafting Jonah Savaiinaea. But their second-round pick has yet to sign a contract amongst a league wide holdout from the rookie second rounders who are looking to get their contracts covered, on a fully guaranteed basis. For the Dolphins there is a pressing need to end this hold out and end it soon as they are very close to seeing Liam Eichenberg back on the field. As for the rest of the unit, the health of Austin Jackson will be monitored, the development of Patrick Paul, and the overall cohesiveness of the unit in Mike McDaniel’s scheme.
- Chubb and Phillips. The Dolphins front seven has a chance to be one of the best in the entire National Football League, Chop Robinson, Zach Sieler, Kenneth Grant, Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips, Tyrell Dodson, K.J Britt, Jordyn Brooks, and Willi Gay Jr. is one great group. So, the focus turns to two formidable pass rushers who have been hit with the injury bug in years past. How will Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb come out, how long until it is expected for them to return, how do they stand out as leaders as the veterans and long tenured men on this defense. These are all questions that will unfold as camp begin and ultimately hold exciting weight.
- Darren Waller and the Tight Ends. At 1A and 1B of worst position groups on this football team, tight end and cornerback roll hand in hand and it’s not a good thing. Quite similarly to the offensive line of last year, I have a feeling that we as fans and media are much more concerned than Miami is with these two groups, but luckily tight end is not nearly as big of an issue. With Waller I’m interested to see how bought in he is, can we get any glimpse of the Waller we saw with the Raiders? If so it’s a home run of an acquisition. For Julian Hill, I expect him to have a “good” camp, the coaches like him, his peers like him, and other than the penalties he really is a solid player in the eyes of the org. Pharoah Brown was acquired via free agency, and he looks to fill that Durham Smythe role at tight end, and then the room is rounded out with Tanner Conner Jalin Conyers and Hayden Rucci. All in all, Jon Embree has his work cut out for him.
- And Lastly, The Cheetah, and The Penguin. The Miami Dolphins duo had its worst year let last season, filled with drama on and off the field, poor line play, poor concepts, and abysmal quarterback play. But it cannot be forgotten how great this duo is and I fully expect them both to return to 2023 form. Hill is back and bought into the thing (until he isn’t then we can talk) and Jaylen Waddle is looking to emerge as a top receiver in this league. Which one of them will emerge as a leader on offense, or will both? Time will tell but I am excited to see the electrifying duo back and with their QB1.
These are the most pressing training camp stories in my eyes and ones that will shape the course of the 2025 NFL season for the Miami Dolphins. One that if things don’t go right, major chance is imminent. Some other small stories are Ewers vs Wilson for QB2, Malik Washington’s growth, Achane, and Jaylen Wright (!!!), amongst many others (Minkah’s return).
The Dolphins look to bounce back in 2025 and its almost here, let me know your favorite training camp story in the comments!
One of the key challenges for the Jan Soochna Portal Rajasthan is addressing the digital divide, as ensuring equitable access to the portal’s benefits for all, especially those in remote or less digitally literate communities, is paramount for its overall success.
Users often inquire about the process for Sambal card download after initial registration, highlighting the need for clearer, step-by-step guides and perhaps even video tutorials on the official website.
Crucially, the success of the Seva Sindhu Portal in bridging the digital divide will depend on expanding access to Common Service Centres (CSCs) and providing robust support for citizens in rural areas who may lack digital literacy or internet connectivity.
Letting go of both Ramsey and Fuller leaves such a thin room, and going up against Hill/Waddle in practice might expose that early (which could actually help long-term if it leads to a smart signing).
