[Spider-Dan]

I don't understand the Franks for Parkey move.  Does anyone have any explanation?

[DaLittle B]

@apoupartFins: .@MiamiDolphins signed 8 to practice squad: QB Doughty; TE Duarte; OT Hickey; WR Lewis; CB Lucas; DE Malveaux; WR Morgan; and RB Smith.

I don't have any definitive answers on the Kicking situation,as I didn't watch much preseason at all this year.

[Baba Booey]

Franks sucks that's why they let him go,. 2/5 on 40+ yard field goals last year. His bad blocked kick vs Seattle cost Miami that week 1 win. He isn't any good

[Spider-Dan]

Cody Parkey was 8/13 from 40+ last year.
Interestingly, Caleb Sturgis was 4/6 from 50+ last year.

[Pappy13]

He didn't look good in preseason to me. Go watch his XP attempts. They are all very low trajectory I thought. They don't get up in the air very quickly. Seemed ripe to get blocked. He may have been injured or something that no one knew about or maybe he's just lost it. Was very strange, so there must be a reason for it.
