The Facts:
OTA days don't directly translate to regular season success. Players that look brilliant in shorts sometimes fade in the padded violence of games. But OTA do speak to alignments and the vision of a coaching staff. They do serve to provide a glimpse of what may be coming in those areas. And that's why the Dolphins four-wide set during Tuesday OTA was intriguing. Mike Wallace. Brian Hartline. Brandon Gibson. Dustin Keller. "Yeah you know we’re still learning, but I’m excited about what I see from those guys," Tannehill said. "They’re all getting a grasp on the offense and we’re starting to get a lot of reps with each other, so (we’re going to) continue to work that to get better. I'm excited about what they bring to the team and what they showed today."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Herald staffer Armando Salguero notes, we're talking about two speedy receivers who have both had 1,000-yard seasons. A proven big, physical receiver that can work the middle and occasionally get deep. And a seam-threat receiver who has a reputation for uncovering quickly and making himself available to his quarterback. Salguero added: "We've come a long way from Hartline, Anthony Armstrong, Davone Bess and Anthony Fasano. ..." No doubt. Given all this it's also hard to argue with Salguero's contention that if this group stays healthy, there is little reason to doubt that Miami, 26th in the NFL passing the ball in 2012, can become an efficient, effective and scary pass offense that threatens a defense in multiple ways. ... It certainly sounds intriguing. We'll be watching for more.
