DAVIE Will Harris Jersey , Fla. (AP) — discussing the team’s quarterbacks Thursday when someone noted his extensive experience in the NFL.“Are you saying … what are you saying about me?” Caldwell responded with a smile.What the Dolphins are saying is that the 64-year-old Caldwell is the right coach for the job of developing newly acquired QB Josh Rosen, who is rebooting his career after a rocky rookie 2018 season with the Arizona Cardinals.Caldwell is also starting fresh as Miami’s assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach for new head coach Brian Flores. The transition will reach a new stage next week when the Dolphins take the practice field for organized team activities.“We all have a long way to go,” Caldwell said.His primary job will be to maximize the potential of Rosen, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2018 draft, who will get a year to show the Dolphins he can be their franchise quarterback. If Rosen doesn’t, they’ll likely draft their QB of the future in the first round next spring.“Josh has got a clean slate here,” Caldwell said. “He’s in a new system with a different group of guys, and we’re looking forward.”Rosen will compete for the starting job with veteran newcomer Ryan Fitzpatrick.“They’ll get what they earn,” new offensive coordinator Chad O’Shea said. “This is a very competitive situation. We have options at the position.”But to evaluate Rosen this year, the Dolphins need for him to play. And Caldwell’s resume suggests he’ll get the most out of Rosen, whatever that is.Caldwell worked with Peyton Manning for nine seasons, first as the Indianapolis Colts’ assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach, and then as their head coach. He was also the Baltimore Ravens’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach when Joe Flacco helped them win the 2013 Super Bowl.Seventeen years in the NFL have taught Caldwell that one season is not enough time to pass judgment on a quarterback http://www.lionscheapstore.com/austin-bryant-jersey-cheap , Rosen included.“In this league you find guys who have a great year one year, and they literally disappear the next,” Caldwell said. “He’s working at it, and obviously trying to put himself in position to have a little better year than last year.”Rosen ranked 33rd in the 32-team NFL in passing rating in 2018, throwing 11 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions as the Cardinals finished last in points and yards while going 3-13.But Caldwell sees potential for a turnaround, and said the Dolphins’ tutelage of Rosen is off to a good start.“I don’t think there’s any secret he has talent,” Caldwell said. “He has physical talent, and he’s also very smart.”NOTES: The Dolphins begin a three-day rookie minicamp Friday. Three days of OTAs are scheduled next week beginning Monday. … Dolphins vice chairman Matt Higgins will be honored Saturday as a recipient of the Ellis Island medal of honor. Higgins was chosen in part for his work after 9/11 to help rebuild New York City, and for his support of autism awareness and other causes. Higgins was born in poverty in Queens, dropped out of high school and started college at 16. “Any success I can achieve gives me credibility to speak to young people who might be struggling that this chapter is not going to define your life unless you let it,” he said. DAVIE, Fla. (AP)Miami Dolphins receiver Kenny Stills vacationed this offseason in Africa, led several teammates on a training trip to Nebraska and returned to find the NFL’s national anthem debate again at peak volume.”We’ve got to clean up how things are looking http://www.packerscheapstore.com/rashan-gary-jersey-cheap ,” Stills said following the Dolphins’ first training camp practice Thursday.The sixth-year pro is part of the debate because he kneeled during the anthem the past two seasons and has been vocal discussing social injustice issues that inspired the protest.Stills would prefer the league had no anthem policy so players could do as they wished, and said he’ll wait until a policy is set to decide what he’ll do during the anthem this season.”At some point before the season starts, the league and the players association are going to come to an agreement,” he said. ”And at that point I’ll have a better idea what I’ll be doing.”Last week the league and union issued a joint statement saying the two sides are still working on a resolution. Their statement came hours after The Associated Press reported Dolphins players who protest on the field during the anthem could be suspended for up to four games under a team policy issued last week.The Dolphins subsequently issued a statement saying all options regarding the team’s policy remain open.On Thursday, coach Adam Gase said he doubted a Miami player would be suspended for protesting during the anthem.”I mean, if anybody knew actual rules in the NFL, good luck suspending somebody,” Gase said. ”It takes about 5,000 things before anybody can get suspended by a club.”Gase said he doesn’t see anthem issue as potentially divisive for his team.”I think they do a good job of when issues come up, they get together and hammer it out,” Gase said. ”These guys aren’t shy about speaking up. They’ve done a good job of making sure, as a group, they talk through things.”Three-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jurrell Casey also plans to continue protesting Darnell Savage Jr. Jersey , but wants people to quit seeing this as an anthem issue. The Tennessee Titans lineman said he will continue protesting by raising his fist at the end of the anthem.”The biggest thing that we have right now is the way the justice system is set up for minorities,” said Casey, whose wife is an attorney. ”And that’s just what the whole battle is about, trying to bring light to enlighten the things that’s going on around the minority community.”The league hasn’t been able to reach an agreement. On Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he’ll insist his players stand for the anthem.Stills’ reaction to Jones’ comments?”I wouldn’t expect anything different,” Stills said.Stills said he hadn’t spoken much with Dolphins owner Stephen Ross about the issue since last year. Ross didn’t attend the first day of training camp.Stills tuned out the anthem debate this offseason by traveling to Victoria Falls, Kruger National Park and Cape Town, where he learned about African culture, went on safaris and tried bungee jumping. More recently, he spent time in Lincoln, Nebraska, with other Dolphins wideouts and a receivers coach he has known since he was in the 10th grade.”The anthem stuff was becoming a really quiet, quiet topic http://www.packerscheapstore.com/elgton-jenkins-jersey-cheap ,” Stills said.No more. Defensive end Robert Quinn, who protested during the anthem while with the Rams last year, was asked following his first Dolphins practice what the league should do about a policy.”I’ll just say one thing: It’s called freedom of speech,” he said. ”Simple as that.”Quinn, Stills and others have been targets of criticism for their protests, which they believe have been misconstrued as unpatriotic.But Stills was nominated by teammates last year for the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, a reflection of his standing in locker room. His latest community project is with the nationwide OK Program, which mentors young black men.”I think I’ve done a good job of trying to figure out ways to continue to use my voice and platform for the right things,” Stills said, ”and put the messaging back in the right direction.”—
