There are several interesting little nuggets of information coming out of this weekend's Miami Dolphins mini-camp. Hopefully, these little tidbits will hold you over for a while, because this is the last time that the Miami Dolphins will allow media and fans to attend practice until training camp opens in late July!

-Ronnie Brown did not look impressive. In fact, Nick Saban intimated that he would like to see more of a mean streak in him.

-Lamar Gordon was by far the most impressive back in this weekend's practices. He outperformed Ronnie Brown and the other backs in most facets of the game.

-David Boston did practice, but had a noticeable limp in his stride. He is obviously still healing from surgery to repair a torn patellar tendon.

-Gus Frerotte is outperforming A.J. Feeley at this point. Although Feeley has the stronger arm and has shown flashes of brilliance, Frerotte is more consistent and more accurate. He also has the advantage of being familiar with the offensive system.

-The most impressive player of the weekend was rookie cornerback Travis Daniels. The former LSU player, who was brought in by his former college coach, was extremely impressive. He was able to cover all of the receivers and showed tremendous ability. Travis Daniels may end up usurping the starting spot from veterans like Reggie Howard and Mario Edwards. Its good to see that the Miami Dolphins may have found a replacement for Patric Surtain after all.

Of course, we should take all of this with information with a grain of salt. It's only early June and the players have yet to put on any pads or deal with any contact. Still, its nice to be able to get a mini-football fix in the middle of the summer!
