Miami Dolphins Week One Fifty-Three Man Roster Projection

The Miami Dolphins 2016 Training Camp begins today Friday, July 29th, and two weeks later they play a pre-season game at the NY Giants.

Here is whats likely to be concluded over the next six weeks.


Top 46 active upon the regular seasons Kickoff . (Starters Emboldened)
(Players 47 thru 53 could churn their way into the active 46 roster for any given games needs).

Offensive Twenty-Two
Quarterback (Game-Day ACTIVE Two)
1 - Ryan Tannehill
41 - Matt Moore


ACTIVE Eight, Game Day Offensive Lineman
Left Tackle
3 - Brandon Albert
30 - Jermon Bushrod career left tackle to play (guard & right tackle also), 2016 Free Agent


Left Guard
6- Laremy Tunsil (left tackle extraordinaire) rookie
49 - Dallas Thomas (likely on occasion to unseat right tackle Sam Young for the 45th spot)


Center
4 - Mike Pouncey
42 - Kraig Urbik (experienced C & G starter may win the right guard position), Free Agent


Right Guard could go either way including K. Urbik. (May the best man win)!
10 - Jamil Douglas
48 - Billy Turner (tough to put him out of the 46) but he's the least versatile while coach Adam Gase suggest that just 7 are likely to dress, and I'm already carrying 8. Meanwhile, he could very well take the job and force Douglas or right tackle Young outside the 46. Urbik is too important to the backup center position to be outside the 46.

45 - Sam Young (guard also), Free Agent

Miami Dolphins Add Do-It-All Veteran Running Back Arian Foster

The Dolphins core tailback tandem of second year man Jay Ajayi and rookie Kenyan Drake became a viable NFL threesome today with the addition of a proven do-it-all veteran in Arian Foster.

Foster has accrued 6,472 rushing yards with a 4.5 career average and 54 touchdowns in seven seasons while in three of those years he participated in eight or fewer games. As a receiver out of the backfield he's covered 2,268 yards with 14 touchdowns.

Arian a 2009 Houston Texan un-drafted rookie with 6 games played became superstar material in 2010, 11, 12, and 2014. Foster played in just eight 2013, and four 2015 games due to injury. His most recent injury (achilles) came in week seven of 2015 versus the Miami franchise at which he now resides.

Miami signed 6-1, 227 Arian Foster (30 in August) to a one year deal at 1.5 million with another 2 million worth of incentives on the table. At his best he's a proven threat in every phase of the game and will easily earn such incentives. At the very least he offers proven veteran leadership! Along with the leadership aspect. Foster (once 100% healthy while working out for the Dolphins on numerous occasions during the process) has the superior skill-sets and all-around game which didn't exist in the (break glass in case of emergency) scenario of Damian Williams, Daniel Thomas, or Isaiah Pead.




Training Camp begins in TEN DAYS on July 28th.
The Miami Dolphins will play 2016's first pre-season game at the N.Y. Giants 15 days later on August 12th.


HERE WE GO DOLPHINS, HERE WE GO !!!
