Weekend Roundup: Talking rookie cornerbacks, Chad Pennington & more
The Phinsider (Free subscription) | 06/22/2009
Well we've officially entered the heart of the "dead zone" - the time period between the final OTA day and the beginning of training camp. It's a time where the only bit of news you will find (other than Brett Favre news, of course) has to do with either the signing of your draft picks or the arrest of one of your players.

Miami Herald (Free subscription) | 06/15/2009
As the Dolphins' second-team defense lined up for another snap in team drills, 2009 first-round pick Vontae Davis dropped 10 yards off his receiver from his cornerback position. Knowing that is too much cushion for off-the-line pushing, veteran cornerback Will Allen's voice slashed the air.

The Daily Blitz (Free subscription) | 06/07/2009
As Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald points out, Jason Allen and the Miami Dolphins share something in common. Their inconsistency.
