			<description><![CDATA[The Dolphins have installed an uptempo offense under new coach Joe Philbin with a goal of running perhaps 90 plays per game. "That's a lot of plays," running back Reggie Bush said. "I was just asking our running back coach (Jeff Nixon), 'Is this going to be the temp in the game?' We're pretty fast right now, but usually we practice faster than we should play. I don't know, we'll see. Hopefully the tempo will go down a little bit and save some guys because that's a lot of plays in one game." Aside from the faster speed, Bush says the Dolphins are adapting to their new offense well. "I don't think it's too bad. For the most part, I think everybody's doing a good job at picking it up. The rookies are doing a good job getting in there and learning behind the veterans. I think the veterans are doing a good job of picking up the new system and really just trying to play fast. I think everyone is doing a good job with that."

According to a South Florida Sun-Sentinel report, Dansby is setting the challenge for the Dolphins 2012 season pretty high. "As I team, I'm expecting us to win the AFC, period. Point blank," Dansby told the Sun Sentinel. "We've got the talent. We have the coaching. We've just got to put it all together. It's going to come down to us as players going out and excelling and making sure we do everything we possibly can to win every game. It's going to be a challenge, no doubt. But that's what you live for. You live for opportunities to have those challenges and we've got the opportunity of a lifetime here in Miami and we've got to take full advantage of it."

			<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross spoke of incumbent Matt Moore likely being the team's opening day quarterback in 2012. Ross mentioned the need for rookie Ryan Tannehill to be eased into the starting job, and that he expected Moore would start in the interim. Not so fast, says veteran David Garrard, who signed with the Dolphins in the off-season after sitting out 2011 following his release from Jacksonville and subsequent back surgery. Garrard said he intends to prove to Ross that he merits the nod to be the No.1 QB for Miami. "That's just more fuel for me. It’s somebody else I have to try and prove wrong," Garrard told ESPN.com. "The owner is the owner. He can make all of the comments that he wants. I am never going to dispute him, but I'll just let my play on the field go out and show for it." At the very least, the three-way battle should make for an interesting training camp and preseason in South Florida.

The Miami Herald reports that Burress "would love" to audition for the Dolphins, but the 'Phins may not be inclined to add any more receivers heading into training camp if their young players develop as they hope. Burress had 45 catches for 612 yards last season, but he did catch eight TD passes in his first season back in the league after spending nearly two years in prison on a gun charge. The thing that may be working against Burress as much as anything is that he will be 35 before the season begins.

"I know he's the owner, but he might not sign my check, the treasurer does," Philbin said Tuesday. "But last time I checked, he's on board. We've been very up front with him, that we want a competitive situation at that position." Ryan Tannehill took Ross' comment in stride. "I'm here to play one day," Tannehill said. "So whatever the decision is at the end of camp, that's what it is." With the need for any decision months away, Philbin said the coaching staff is considering a number of factors, including many intangibles. "We're looking for productivity, we're looking for decision-making, we're looking for leadership," he said. "We're looking for them to throw the ball accurately, make decisions out there. Who's got command of the offense, and their unit in particular."

			<description><![CDATA[Dolphins owner Steve Ross was so pleased with his team's offseason he joked that General Manager Jeff Ireland, whom a large segment of the team's fans wanted fired 90 days ago, got a favorable vote in a local newspaper's approval rating. "That's a heck of a turnaround," Ross joked of a Palm Beach Post poll, which has less than 10 percent of 2,000 voters opting for the Ireland's "Pathetic and needs to go now" option of the four answers. That's the effect a productive draft - which featured the selection of quarterback Ryan Tannehill in the first round, and two former UM standouts in pass rusher Olivier Vernon and tailback Lamar Miller - will have on a disgruntled fan base. "It was all according to a plan we had, [one] Jeff put together with our coach," Ross said about the team's stance that Tannehill had more upside than quarterback Matt Flynn, who signed with Seattle instead of the Dolphins. "Everyone was looking at the runoffs." Ross is referring to the premature assessment of the team's overhaul in March, when the Dolphins weren't active in free agency, which prompted a fan protest outside the team's Davie facility. "You can see how things are starting to come around," Ross said. "I'm excited about it. The response from the fans has been excellent. We had a great draft and the team has a lot of good prospects."

That's the effect a productive draft - which featured the selection of quarterback Ryan Tannehill in the first round, and two former UM standouts in pass rusher Olivier Vernon and tailback Lamar Miller - will have on a disgruntled fan base. &quot;It was all according to a plan we had, [one] Jeff put together with our coach,&quot; Ross said about the team's stance that Tannehill had more upside than quarterback Matt Flynn, who signed with Seattle instead of the Dolphins. &quot;Everyone was looking at the runoffs.&quot; Ross is referring to the premature assessment of the team's overhaul in March, when the Dolphins weren't active in free agency, which prompted a fan protest outside the team's Davie facility. &quot;You can see how things are starting to come around,&quot; Ross said. &quot;I'm excited about it. The response from the fans has been excellent. We had a great draft and the team has a lot of good prospects.&quot;<br />

			<title>Dolphins Sign 7th Rd Pick DT Kheeston Randall</title>

			<description><![CDATA[According to the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero, the Miami Dolphins have signed seventh round draft choice Kheeston Randall. Randall, the team's first of two picks in the Draft's final round, comes to the Dolphins from the University of Texas, where he played nose tackle in a 3-4 defensive front. Randall was limited to running situations with the Longhorns, where he was able to take on, and shed, blockers, shutting down running backs. However, he never showed any ability to play in passing situations, being taken out of the game for the majority of them, and failing to provide any pressure when he was in on a passing play. The signing of Randall gives the Dolphins their second 2012 draft pick under contract, joining sixth round pick B.J. Cunningham.

Bush tweeted, "Shoot Drogba might even hit a Nazi chick tonight in Germany! LOL!" referring to Didier Drogba, who hit a winning penalty kick following Saturday's 2012 UEFA Champions League final between Chelsea and Bayern Munich. He deleted the post a few hours later, writing: "Oh goodness bunch of sensitive cry babies on twitter! It's just jokes people send me your address and I'll personally FedEx you some tissue". Bush also made news Friday when he tweeted about a delay in his flight back from New York, where he co-hosted "Live! with Kelly."

			<description><![CDATA[Dolphins owner Stephen Ross played down expectations for instant results from rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill, saying the team won't rush the eighth-overall pick in April's draft, according to The Palm Beach Post. "The important thing is not to have great expectations up front, and bring him along," Ross said on the sidelines during a team charity event Friday. "See how it works for him. He certainly has the talent, and you don't want to get a guy down early. We've seen that before." Tannehill is seen as a boom-or-bust type of prospect with outstanding athleticism but has limited game experience at quarterback, playing the position for less than two seasons at Texas A&M. "We drafted Tannehill because we thought he'd be a great franchise quarterback. He has all the intangibles, (he's) a great athlete," Ross said. Tannehill will compete for the starting spot against veterans Matt Moore and David Garrard. "Obviously there's a big competition for the quarterback slot," the owner added. "We're not going to rush him into it, that's for sure."

			<description><![CDATA[In 2011, Reggie Bush stunned the world by being something he'd never been in his career before: a traditional running back. Bush rushed for 200 yards in one game (more than his entire rushing yard total from 2010) and topped 1,000 rushing yards in a season for the first time in his career. Now Bush has an even bolder goal: he wants to lead the entire NFL in rushing yards in 2012. "I want the rushing title," Bush said, per the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "This offseason, I've been working toward that goal. Just being effective like I was this past season. Every time I rush the ball, I want four yards. I'm keeping my focus simple and small but at the same time helping my team progress." The last time that the NFL leader in rushing yards posted less than 1,600 yards was 2007, when LaDainian Tomlinson won the title with 1,474. So if we assume that Bush needs at least that much to lead the league and he averages four yards a carry, he'll need 400 carries to get to 1,600 yards.

			<description><![CDATA[Ryan Tannehill has turned heads in South Beach. Veteran quarterback David Garrard claims he's never seen a young quarterback pick up the playbook so quickly -- faster than some of his elders -- and center Mike Pouncey believes the Dolphins have found "a very mature rookie." Draft experts pegged Tannehill as a quarterback that needed a year to sit and absorb the pro game, but we imagine he'll be thrust into the lineup sooner than later. He isn't sure when he'll start. "I don't know," Tannehill told ESPN Radio, via ProFootballTalk.com. "They haven't told me anything. I'm just going to go in and compete. That's what I want to do every day, go in and compete. ... I want to play, but I don't think they've really spelled out their plans for me."
