![]() ![]() ![]() Thigpen turned heads last year as Miami's main return man, a role he will likely reprise in 2013 alongside Jonas Gray. Anything in between is in play for this talented back from Florida. He has an outside shot of rising up the depth chart as their starter if everything breaks his way, or he could get limited carries in his rookie year and find himself relegated to special teams assignments. Gillislee could be just about anything for the Dolphins. We do know that Thomas can be an excellent, between-the-tackles runner with good burst when he's healthy, and he will likely have a role on this team if he stays healthy and consistent throughout training camp. Thomas showed plenty of promise and potential during his rookie season, but since then he has been mired in a funk of inconsistency and injuries. ![]() While there will be a competition for the starting job, Miller will likely only lose the number one spot if he gets hurt or he is badly outperformed by Daniel Thomas or Mike Gillislee. Miller is the top contender to be the Dolphins' starting running back. His best chance for staying on the team is beating out Pat Devlin for the number three quarterback spot, but in all honesty, would you bet against the teacher's pet? He will do well in camp, then do well in the limited series he plays during the preseason, followed by Dolphins fans wondering why he's isn't competing with Tannehill for the starting job.Ĭorp is simply nothing more than an extra arm who will be needed for training camp. This preseason and training camp shouldn't be any different from the last two that featured Devlin. Why is Devlin called the teacher's pet? Joe Philbin gave him the nickname. The teacher's pet returns to the Dolphins for a third season as the third quarterback. As a starter with the Dolphins, Moore is a respectable 7-6 since 2011. But if an injury or general ineffectiveness during the season befalls Tannehill, the Dolphins do have the best insurance policy in the NFL in backup Matt Moore. That is as close to inevitable as saying that LeBron James is the starting small forward for the Miami Heat in 2013-14. Ryan Tannehill is the starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins in 2013. In the end, the Dolphins will only go as far as Tannehill can take them. The key will come in how long it takes for Tannehill to develop chemistry with his new targets, but we might not have to worry about that as much as we think when we consider that last season, Tannehill worked with Brian Hartline the least, as he was dealing with injuries throughout training camp, yet it was Hartline who led the Dolphins in catches and yards. Tannehill is expected to make the biggest leap out of all of the sophomore quarterbacks this season due to the new acquisitions that will surround him in 2013. ![]()
