Dolphins news as of late 8-13-18

[CF DolFan]

---QB Ryan Tannehill kicked Kalen Ballage out of the huddle this week and followed up some heated discussion on the sideline later. Ballage missed an assignment that would have gotten Ryan blasted in a game. Adam Gase defended Ryan's decision.

---Veteran defensive lineman Gabe Wright was waived by the Dolphins on Tuesday, one day after he charged at and blindsided Kenyan Drake while the running back's helmet was off. The incident occurred toward the end of a fight involving multiple players during Monday's practice. It was one of several incidents during a particularly physical and testy session.

--DeVante Parker is week-to-week with hand injury. Right now, he wouldn't be able to catch the ball.

--running back Kalen Ballage and tight end MarQueis Gray are in the concussion protocol.

--safety and slot cornerback Minkah Fitzpatrick? The Miami Dolphins love him. Tight end Mike Gesicki? They love him. Linebacker Jerome Baker? Love him. Coaches believe general manager Chris Grier hit a home run in the first round of the draft with Fitzpatrick, and in the second round with Gesicki, and in the third round with Baker.

Is it time to give up on this dude?  I believe he has the skill set, but damn if this guy doesn't ALWAYS something going on with him.  Whether it's a foot, leg and now hand problems.

Long past time in my opinion. Contract wise they may have needed to keep him but the time for expecting anything special is long gone.

He's mostly disappointing.  I've been done with him for like two years now.  For whatever reason, it really pisses me off that he isn't even sniffing elite WR territory...he's fast, he's tall, he can jump over a damn building yet he's mediocre at best.  We should be saying his name along with Bryant, Beckham, Green, Jones, but we're not and I have to attribute that to being soft.

Parker has issues but he is our best bet is if he comes through. I don't have any faith that he will so either Jakeem Grant or Isiah Ford will need to step up and take it. They have Ford as back-up to Amendola right now but I have to believe based on his practices that he can take Parker's spot.

That sums up my thoughts on him as well.

I read a report earlier,that the Dolphins weren't going to trade Parker,because he's injured.

We signed former Dolphin Kendall Langford to take Wright's spot...

I can't imagine too many teams lining up to trade for an underperforming, often injured, guy with a reputation for being "soft" and disappearing during games.

I like hearing Tanny banking at that guy.  ...not sure why, but at least people are trying out there.
