Dolphins GM Chris Grier said they got calls on QB Skylar Thompson, the rookie 7th-rd pick. Said people told them they'd be stupid to let him go. Mike McDaniel: "We're not in the business of being stupid."

Asked Waddle about nickname for the offense. Ran a few by him. He declined to participate. His locker room neighbor, Xavien Howard, said u get a nickname, then have a bad game, everybody wants to clown you. Said it's only been 3 games. Chill. Waddle agreed

We've still hardly noticed LG Liam Eichenberg, and I mean that in a good way. I haven't viewed him as the weak link in the OL through 4 practices. He's been just another starter. Pads go on tomorrow

Two low-key things we've seen from Tua in camp (mentioned this in today's video) are throwing ball away & using his feet to elude rush. He's not sitting in the pocket or staying in pocket trying to make that last-second throw. That's improvement/awareness

I'll keep saying this, and it's no disrespect to Tua or anyone else in any way, shape or form...the 3 players the Fins can least afford to lose are Tyreek, Terron and X. Those guys make their units better and this team much, much better. Especially Tyreek

Nah. No way. Tyreek is gutting it out thru a painful ankle injury. Dude is nowhere near himself. He limps, grimaces, pounds the ground in pain, sits out plays, and gets back out there and balls again. I have ZERO issue with Tyreek. Dude is a HOF baller!!
@chrisperk
I do think the “2000” yard thing is an issue. Even if it was sort of in jest, it became a distraction.

Yeah, the way Tua falls is a mystery to me. Why does his head slam backward so violently after fairly routine QB tackles? It's not as tho he's taking vicious blindside hits. That's one of the troubling aspects of this thing
@chrisperk
Is there a trainer to teach him how to get tackled and not go down like a giraffe every time he takes a hit
