David Garrard Listed as Dolphins Starting Quarterback
The Miami Dolphins have released their first depth chart of the 2012 season, and on it they have David Garrard listed as the starting quarterback. Matt Moore is listed as the backup and Ryan Tannehill is 3rd string.
While this isn't exactly surprising news to anyone who's been following Miami this preseason, it is still significant because it is the first time the Dolphins have listed Garrard as the team's number one quarterback on paper. Garrard has consistently looked like the best quarterback on the team. He's fit in perfectly in this offense and he's thrown the ball with accuracy and timing. He was, at one time, a Pro Bowl quarterback, and he's showing why so far.
I know that there are a good number of you who like Matt Moore and want him to be the starter, but the fact of the matter is this: David Garrard will give the Miami Dolphins a better chance to win more games than Matt Moore would.
What's more important? Your favorite player starting or your favorite team winning? That's what the decision turns into if you are choosing between Moore and Garrard. Moore has a larger fan base, but Garrard will have more wins.
Another notable starter on the depth chart is CB Richard Marshall, who is listed ahead of Vontae Davis. Here at Dolphin Shout we haven't gone into much detail about the positional battle at cornerback because I didn't really think that Davis' spot was in danger. It still isn't necessarily in danger because both he and Marshall will be on the field a lot in today's passing NFL, but I still find it pretty important that Miami has Marshall listed ahead of Davis.
If anything, I think this tells us that Miami's cornerback corps is really good. Sean Smith has looked great this offseason. Marshall and Davis have both looked really good. I have a feeling that we will be really good against the pass this season. Let's just cross our fingers and hope that we can start turning deflections into interceptions, which is something that we haven't been able to do too much of in recent years.
If you guys haven't heard by now. I am working on adding forums to Dolphin Shout. My plan is to have a lot of great discussions on the forums in the future. We will still keep the same commenting system, it just won't have as much activity as the forums. The reason we are using forums is that it allows for discussions to continue for days without being interrupted, whereas discussions with commenting only last as long as the current post lasts. As soon as a new post is up comments on the old posts die down significantly. If you would like to test out the forums please contact me and let me know.

How Would the Miami Dolphins Do in the Olympics?
In the spirit of the Olympics why don't we do a post throwing our Miami Dolphins into the Olympic games?
At the halfway point of the Olympics the U.S.A. leads the medal count with 21 Gold, 10 Silver, and 12 Bronze medals. The men's and women's swimming teams kicked major butt as well as the women's gymnastics team with individual ( Gabby Douglas ) and team Gold medals. One of the U.S men's gymnastics participants won an individual Bronze after a miraculous comeback from 17th place at the halfway point with light's out performances while 14 others faltered in the last three events. The American volleyball teams have been impressive too!
The second week of competition, which is all about track and field, started Friday and North America should continue to dominate the medal count!
Seeing how track and field (running, jumping, throwing) relates to football I figured I'd ask, who do you think might be medalist for our Miami Dolphins in 2012?
For the Marathon the contestants are Reggie Bush, Daniel Thomas, Lamar Miller, and Charles Clay. 1200 individual yards for the year equates to a Gold, 1000 takes Silver, and 800 wins Bronze. In the team competition, 2200 yards is Gold, 2000 Silver, and 1800 is Bronze.
Now, with the same contestants for the 100 meter sprint, individual rushing Touchdowns decide the medalist in this event with 16+ TD's being Gold, 13 for Silver, and 10 sporting the Bronze.
The 400 meter High Hurdle's will be Receiving yardage with 1200 yards taking Gold, 1000 wearing Silver, and 800 yards being the "Hall Of Fame" colored Bronze. The participants include Davone Bess, Brian Hartline, Chad Johnson, Julius Pruitt, Roberto Wallace, Legedu Naanee, Clyde Gates, Anthony Fasano, Charles Clay, Reggie Bush, Lamar Miller, and whoever else.
The same contestants will be competing in the 100 meter High Hurdles, which will be measured with TD receptions: 16 receiving TDs equating to Gold, 13 Silver, and 10 Bronze.
The Discus is a Quarterback feat of accuracy with a frisbee shaped piece of steel in which the thrower does three pirouette's (full turn) before releasing the sphere. I think passing yardage is a good fit for this event with 4500 yards taking the Gold, 4000 for Silver, and Bronze for 3500. The contestants for this are Matt Moore, David Garrard, and Ryan Tannehill.
Now for the javelin. The Javelin is a spiralesque spear toss of long distance and will be measured in passing touchdowns. Lets suggest that 30+ TD passes is a Gold, 25 is Silver, and 20 is Bronze.
So I ask you this "In The Spirit Of The Olympic Games". Who, what color medals, and how many overall Miami Dolphin Medals do you forecast for 2012?
P.S. Bronze is still a GOOD THING ;)! GO USA! GO FINS!
Stay tuned to NBC all day every day for Olympic coverage over the next 7 days.
THANKS for an Open-Minded Read and we look forward to your angle of view :)!
P.S.II. Are You Ready For Some Football? The Hall Of Fame Game is this Sunday at 8 PM Est on NFL Network, and it features the New Orleans Saints vs the Arizona Cardinals. Hard Knocks premieres Tuesday, and Your Miami Dolphins play this coming Friday, GIGGITTY, GIGGGITTY : ) !!
