  ), four dropped passes and two interceptions. I might have missed a bad play here and there, but that alone was enough to deem it a sloppy practice for the offense. The offense did make some big plays, too. But rest assured the coaches will focus on cleaning up the mistakes.
• Moore and Garrard rotated first-team reps throughout practice. For what it’s worth, Moore started team drills Friday with the starters before they began rotating. “It just means he’s over with the ones [to start] today. They had to give it to somebody,” Garrard said. “We will continue to battle throughout training camp."
• I liked what I saw in the training camp debut of receiver

  . He made several nice grabs and got open on more plays where the quarterback didn’t see him. Johnson looks like he still has it physically. His cuts in and out of breaks looked solid on the first day. Johnson caught a pair of 15-yeard hook routes that looked like vintage Johnson. The interesting thing is the Dolphins are giving Johnson some work with the first team. Miami is doing everything it can to get him up to speed. The Dolphins need him to produce.

  . He made one of the best plays of the day with a pick-six off Moore. Misi looks more comfortable in a 4-3 defense, and the Dolphins hope the new scheme produces a better year. Misi is a former second-round pick in 2010 who has yet to live up to his potential.
• There was rookie hazing going on, as well. Rookies on the defense got special haircuts, courtesy of veteran defensive tackle

In reading all these training camp reports over the past 4/5 years, I do not ever recall when there was an error free performance from the offense and they totally lit up the defense. There may have been "better" days...but never a dominant performance by the O.

I want to see the hair cut's..........lol

Whenever any of the rookie defensive ends took off their helmets to reveal their new-look haircuts, they were very easy to spot.

For now its just the first practice...

This is the one thing I hate about Hard Knocks, it makes guys "ham" up training camp by doing far more of this hazing and these practical jokes. I hope it doesn't become a distraction :-(

This is a fitting statement being our offense has typically sucked during that time period

I really wanna see Vernon go into the season with that look! But I like what I hear about Chad, and it seems Gates gets open easily but can't catch...

I read that theyre working with volleyballs too, maybe to help them learn to tip it to themselves..? Also, former Packer (and shortly) Dolphins corner, Al Harris working with the team is a great guy to learn from
