TAMPA Michael Deiter Jersey Cheap , Fla. (AP) — It didn’t take Ryan Fitzpatrick long to get re-acclimated to a familiar setting.The journeyman quarterback who’s preparing for his 15th NFL season is back on the practice fields at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ training facility this week, this time competing for a starting job with the Miami Dolphins.Fitzpatrick spent the past two seasons with the Bucs, mostly as a backup to 2015 No. 1 overall draft pick Jameis Winston.With the Dolphins, he’s trying to beat out second-year pro Josh Rosen, another young passer hoping to prove he’s a franchise QB.“Being on eight teams, this has happened more than once, where I’ve gotten to go back,” Fitzpatrick said of this homecoming for a pair of joint workouts leading to Friday night’s preseason game between his last two employers.“It’s really cool. man. Just him being back here in Tampa,” Winston said Wednesday. “He’s a fun-loving guy … a great leader.”Fitzpatrick also was a big help to the Bucs’ quarterback, generously sharing knowledge and experience gleaned from a meandering career that also includes stops with the Rams, Bengals, Bills, Titans, Texans and Jets.Now, he’s doing the same with Miami, even though he and Rosen are competing for the starting job.Coach Brian Flores has declared Fitzpatrick the leader in the competition, however Rosen may be closing the gap after directing three scoring drives in last week’s preseason opener and getting some work with the Dolphins’ No. 1 offense in joint practices against Tampa Bay.Rosen said Fitzpatrick has been “unbelievably helpful … probably one of the best mentors I’ve had in the sport.”“It’s pretty impressive how he can just sort of walk up to the line and see (things) and just know what front, what coverage, everything they’re trying to do, and I’m just trying to get to that level Michael Deiter Jersey Womens ,” Rosen said.“I think I have a sort of special skillset, so that when I can put those two together, it can be special,” the young quarterback added. “But it’s going to be a long road, a lot of film, a lot of studying, and I’m just indebted to Fitz for how selfless he’s being.”As far as Fitzpatrick is concerned, it’s part of the job.He became the first player in NFL history to throw for over 400 yards in three consecutive games, leading Tampa Bay to a 2-1 start last season while Winston was serving a suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.Winston was inconsistent when he returned, briefly losing the starting job before regaining it and playing well enough down the stretch that the Bucs brought him back for the final year of his rookie contract at a salary of nearly $21 million.“I think last year was a difficult situation for a lot of different reasons; but I also look at the way he played down the stretch and he played some really good football,” Fitzpatrick said about his decision to sign with Miami in the offseason.“For me at least, football is a lot more fun when I’m out there playing,” he added. “Having the opportunity to go to Miami and compete, that’s why I decided to do what I did.”Rosen took some snaps with the first team offense during Tuesday’s workout in Tampa, then worked exclusively with the starters on Wednesday.Flores said no conclusions should be drawn from the way the workload was divided the past two days, adding it had more to do with wanting both quarterbacks to benefit from various looks presented by Tampa Bay’s defense.“Fitz saw it (Tuesday). We wanted Josh to see it see it (Wednesday), and that’s really what that was. … From what I saw, I thought he had a good day. He’s heading in the right direction,” said Flores, who later downplayed whether Rosen is closer to becoming No. 1.“Look Michael Deiter white jersey , it’s a competition and it’s a competition at every position,” the rookie coach said. “I think my job is to help these guys become the best players they can possibly be. And the competition is part of that. Who’s leading? Who’s not leading? That’s irrelevant to me. I want these guys to get better and improve every day. That’ where I’m at with it.”Flores had even less to say about how whether there’s concern about whether running back Kenyan Drake will be ready to return by next month’s regular season opener after injuring his right foot.Drake was wearing a walking boot Wednesday after limping off the practice field the previous day.“We take things day-to-day here. The opener’s down the road,” Flores said. “He’s got a little injury, and I think … he’s just going to take it day-to-day. He’s got a great attitude about it. I think he’ll be OK.” The Miami Dolphins‘ coaching carousel is spinning again.Adam Gase was fired Monday as part of the latest organizational shake-up after the Dolphins finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs for the 15th time in 17 years. Owner Stephen Ross ordered a roster overhaul and acknowledged it may take several seasons to build a winner.Ross demoted executive vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum. General manager Chris Grier, who has been with the team in various capacities for 19 seasons, was given more authority and will oversee football operations while reporting directly to Ross.The team said it will immediately conduct a search for Gase’s successor, who will report to Grier under the team’s new, more streamlined leadership structure.More Miami Dolphins newsDolphins, veteran LB Mike Hull agree to terms on 1-year contractThe next stop: Ryan Fitzpatrick moves into starting QB role with Dolphins, for nowDolphins sign former Jaguars guard-center Chris ReedDolphins sign QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to two-year, $11 million dealEnd of the road: Dolphins trade QB Ryan Tannehill to Titans for picksThe next coach will be the Dolphins’ 10th since 2004, including three interim coaches. This time, Ross said, will be different.“Today we’re no further along than when I bought the team,” said Ross, who became majority owner a decade ago. “I thought it was time for the organization to take a different approach.”Ross, 78, said he’s willing to be patient because the Dolphins’ win-now philosophy hasn’t worked, and he wants a longer-term view regarding player personnel decisions.In the past the Dolphins counted on free agents to get over the hump and instead became stuck on a treadmill of mediocrity. They’ve finished with six to eight wins in nine of the past 10 seasons, and haven’t won a playoff game since 2000.“To keep operating under that philosophy would be like the definition of insanity: doing the same thing and expecting a different result Michael Deiter Miami Dolphins Jerseys ,” Ross said. “What I want is sustained winning seasons. That’s what the fans want and deserve. We’re going to build this organization based on our needs, and if it takes a year or so, two years, three years, we’re going to be there.”The approach makes sense given the Dolphins are likely starting over at quarterback. Ryan Tannehill has been with Miami since 2012 but has never taken a postseason snap, and he’s widely expected to be traded or released because of an escalating salary.Gase went 23-26 with Miami, including a playoff game in 2016. After the 2018 Dolphins beat New England on the play of the season 鈥?a pass and double lateral for a touchdown as time ran out 鈥?they were outscored 100-41 in their final three games by other also-ran teams, including a 42-17 loss at Buffalo on Sunday that sealed Gase’s fate.“Probably one of the toughest decisions I’ve made,” Ross said. “He worked his tail off, and unfortunately things didn’t go the way we all hoped.”Tannenbaum, who held his job for four years and was involved with several disappointing drafts, was reassigned within the organization.Grier, the GM for the past three seasons, said the team will “investigate every avenue” in pursuing a coach, and said NFL experience wasn’t a necessity. Grier said he’s committed to Ross’ new, more patient approach in building a winner.“It’s knowing who you want to be,” Grier said. “You have a vision for what your team wants to be, and you stay with it.”Most preseason prognosticators predicted the 2018 Dolphins would finish with a losing record, and a wave of injuries complicated Gase’s task. The Dolphins lost 13 key players to season-ending injuries, including two top offensive linemen Miami Dolphins Jerseys Stitched , their best run stopper, top cornerback Xavien Howard and explosive receivers Albert Wilson and Jakeem Grant. Tannehill missed five games.There’s already speculation the 40-year-old Gase will be coaching another team in 2019, and his supporters argue he overachieved this season, given the quality of the Dolphins’ roster.They were outgained by 1,619 yards, worst in franchise history, and outscored by 114 points. They ranked 31st in the NFL in offense, also a franchise worst, and 29th in defense, allowing a franchise-record 6,257 yards.Gase went 7-1 in one-score games, and 20-6 in three seasons. But his record in games decided by more than one score was 3-20, including 0-8 this season. His teams struggled especially on the road, losing their final seven away games this year while being outscored 248-117.Gase was seen as a rising young star when the Dolphins hired him, and even more so after they went 10-6 in his first season and made the playoffs for the only time since 2008.But they regressed to 6-10 in 2017, when Tannehill missed the entire season following knee surgery. And the poor finish this season raised questions about whether Gase had lost the support of some players.News of his firing was applauded by at least a couple of Dolphins discards. Cleveland Browns receiver Jarvis Landry tweeted emojis laughing so hard they cried. Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips did the same and added, “YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”The dynamic Wilson, who missed the final nine games because of a hip injury, had a different perspective on Gase’s departure.“A full year I could (have) shown how much of a genius he was!” Wilson tweeted.
