Offseason Program In Full Swing; Schedule to be Unveiled at 8 pm

We've made it to the first couple of milestones in this never ending offseason:

- Voluntary offseason workouts began on Monday

and

- The 2014 schedule will be released TONIGHT, around 8 pm.


We'll start with the former.  Unfortunately, workouts are closed to the media and the public, so there's not much to report on.  I can tell you that Mike Wallace was not in attendance on the first day, but the team knew this in advance and he's been there ever since.  I can also tell you that Dion Jordan, according to Joe Philbin, arrived hours before anyone else on the first day of workouts.

This is a HUGE year for Jordan, who played in a limited role in his rookie season last year, and has been the subject of trade rumors this offseason (although the team, and those who cover the team, never confirmed them).

I can also tell you that Ryan Tannehill and Mike Wallace spoke on the phone 8-9 times this offseason, according to Tannehill, as the two look to build on their 2013 campaign as well as learn new OC Bill Lazor's new offense.

Speaking of that new offense, according to Tannehill, the team had their first classroom meeting yesterday, where Lazor began to install his new scheme.

One more interesting tidbit before moving onto the schedule unveiling.  Joe Philbin told The Finsiders, the team's in-house TV show, in an interview yesterday that he thought the new offense would be good for QB Ryan Tannehill.  Remember, Philbin is just months removed from having to fire mentor and friend Mike Sherman.

I like this from Philbin.  It shows he's not completely oblivious to how dull Sherman was last year, and the year before for that matter.  Whether the change is ultimately a good thing is yet to be seen, but it's no secret that Tannehill needed a shake up after playing 6 years under Sherman.


SCHEDULE UNVEILING

Now to tonight, where the 2014 schedule will FINALLY be released by the NFL.  The unveiling is set for 8 pm, although don't be surprised if things start to leak out before that.

Check the Facebook page often as I'll have the very latest, and, as always, I'll have the full schedule RIGHT HERE the minute it comes out.

Until then, I leave you with the opponents and locations for the 2014 season:
