Organized team activities are a series of “practice” sessions that are spread over the course of a month or so. The Miami Dolphins have held strength and conditioning sessions but those were not practices of any kind.
This weeks OTA’s are. The players line up in their helmets and they run the playbook, the routes, they cover, they do everything but make contact. In most cases these sessions mean little in regards to the season and how the season will go. It does however give us a glimpse at what could be in store for a team looking for direction. Here are five takeaways from this weeks OTA’s that could shed some light on what Miami was trying to do this off-season.

Say whatever you want about the “Patriot Way” but Bill Belichick is a perfectionist and Danny Amendola’s time with New England shows. Amendola, even in an OTA practice doesn’t handle mistakes well. He was visibly ticked off at himself and swearing at himself on the sidelines after a small mistake. Several local beat writers took to social media about it. None complained.
The fact that Amendola wants perfection or at least near perfection every time he is on the field is the exact quality leadership that the Dolphins have been looking for. Amendola holds himself to a higher standard and that standard better get adopted by the younger guys around him. This pick-up could pay off in spades if the other players see what his own expectations are. The fact he has rings on his fingers doesn’t hurt either.
