DAVIE http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/john-cominsky-jersey , Fla. (AP) — and they still have a battle for the backup job behind Ryan Tannehill.Coach Adam Gase declined to say Sunday whether Brock Osweiler or David Fales would be first off the bench to replace Tannehill, but said he expects to keep all three all season. Even so, the Dolphins found room on their roster to add rookie quarterback Luke Falk, claimed one day after being waived by the Tennessee Titans.Falk, a sixth-round draft pick, could make an immediate impact by providing insight into the Titans’ playbook under a new coaching staff. The Dolphins open the season against Tennessee on Sept. 9.The margin between Osweiler and Fales in the competition for the No. 2 job was thin throughout training camp, Gase said.“It’s day to day,” he said. “I feel like it goes back and forth. It’s one of those things — whoever has the best protection on that particular night, it seems that guy has a good night in preseason. That’s what is always going to make it tough deciding who’s the backup. You’re guessing a little bit.”Gase said he may list the No. 2 quarterback as “Osweiler or Fales” on the depth chart preceding the Titans game.“Nothing changes for me,” Osweiler said. “I’m just solely focused on trying to get better. Whoever is the 2, whoever is the 3, that’s something I can’t control.”The Dolphins are underdogs in the opener despite being at home Qadree Ollison Jersey , and coming off a 6-10 season in 2017, they’re widely projected to finish below .500 again. But in the wake of cuts to reach the 53-man roster limit, Gase sounded as optimistic as every other coach at the end of the preseason.Roster turnover has resulted in a better locker-room culture, Gase said, and he anticipates the improvement to be reflected in the win-loss record.“I like our team. We’re a team,” he said, emphasizing the last word. “That’s the best part about what we have going on right now — that locker room. I’m not really worried about what anybody else thinks about that. When you’re not there every day and around these guys, you don’t know. You can look at a piece of paper, but that’s why they play the games.”Miami should be better at quarterback, with Tannehill returning after missing last season following left knee surgery. But it’s unclear whether holdover Fales or newcomer Osweiler represents an upgrade over the departed Matt Moore, who had been Tannehill’s backup since 2012.The play of both Osweiler and Fales was spotty during training camp. Gase works closely with quarterbacks and saw enough potential to want to keep them around.“You talk about that being one of the most important positions,” Gase said, “and our thought process is we’re going to try to develop guys and get them ready to go. And if we’re ever in a situation where we need the next guy Brian Burns Jersey , we want to make sure we have the right guy. And we’re going to keep working with the two guys we’ve got.”In other roster moves, Miami claimed receiver Tanner McEvoy off waivers from New Orleans, released tackle Sam Young, and placed center Jake Brendel and linebacker Mike Hull on injured reserve. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie gave a commencement speech at his alma mater Sunday, and it’s clear that even without naming him, he was eager to graduate from his Chip Kelly years.Lurie referenced how forward the Eagles are with analytics and data, but made it clear that he human element was the way they wanted to set themselves apart. That was clearly part of his “emotional intelligence” message upon firing Chip Kelly and replacing him with Doug Pederson, and as time has passed, Pederson has justified the decision.“We use data analytics as much as any professional sports team �? and I’d be the first to tell you that crunching the numbers can tell us a lot about performance,�? Lurie told the graduates at Clark University. “But in the end, you have to make a judgment about human character that no algorithm can really capture. When we decided to hire Doug Pedersen as our new coach, we got plenty of criticism for what seemed like a completely unconventional choice based on his career experience at that point. But what I saw in Doug was someone not just with expertise about football strategy and tactics, but a unique level of empathy for players as individuals �? and real insight about how people work together as a team.“That kind of leadership and the success it generates isn’t about sports. It’s about trust. To be sure http://www.carolinapanthersteamonline.com/greg-little-jersey , healthy competition can make us all perform better as individuals as we strive to improve. But when it comes to solving problems, study after study shows that the most effective organizations aren’t built on individual genius, but on diverse groups who trust and respect one another.”He also mentioned then-quarterback Nick Foles telling his teammates he loved them during the Super Bowl as an example of what they want to be.“Not ‘let’s go do this�? but simply, ‘I love you guys�?,�? Lurie said. “�?�I love you.�? Maybe it sounds hokey, but what could be more freeing of the best you have inside you than knowing you’re loved regardless of what happens?”The Eagles have been successful because they found many good football players, but they’re also willing to look at the whole person they’re working with, rather than just a collection of numbers, and they’ve found a formula that works for them.
