[Iron Lion]

Minnechoda Vikings

I thought that was only to their practice squad. It's possible the new regime just didn't like Greenwood.

Louis Delmas - DB - Dolphins

The Dolphins have benched FS Louis Delmas in favor of Michael Thomas.

Asked Monday when they made the move, Fins coach Joe Philbin replied "everything." Thomas has simply outplayed Delmas, whom Miami signed to a one-year, $3.5 million deal in the offseason. Thomas finished Week 2 with six tackles (four solo) and should not be of much interest in IDP league owners.

Kickalicious makes appearance at Lions practice

The Detroit Lions had a special visitor at practice Friday.

BAGSHOT, England -- The Detroit Lions had a special visitor at practice at their Pennyhill Park training facility on Friday as they finished up on-field preparations for Sunday's game vs. Atlanta at Wembley Stadium.

Havard ?Kickalicious? Rugland, the Norwegian kicker who played for the Lions last preseason, took in practice and even spent some time on the field talking with special teams coordinator John Bonamego, punter Sam Martin, kicker Matt Prater and long snapper Don Muhlbach.

Rugland became famous after a trick-shot video of him kicking footballs went viral. He then traveled to San Diego to train with retired NFL kicker Michael Husted, which earned him tryouts with the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions. The Lions signed him in April of 2013.

He competed with David Akers in training camp for the starting spot last year. He was 3-for-3 kicking field goals in the preseason, even making one from 50 yards, but eventually lost out to Akers and was cut. He still remains a fan-favorite.

Miami Dolphins safety Louis Delmas, who had an 81-yard interception return for a touchdown and recovered a fumble at Jacksonville, is the AFC?s Defensive Player of the Week, the league announced Wednesday.

Delmas also had two tackles and a pass defensed in the Dolphins? 27-13 victory, which featured two Miami defensive touchdowns.

It?s the first such honor for Delmas, who signed with the Dolphins as a free agent in March after five seasons with the Detroit Lions. Delmas did win NFC Rookie of the Month in September 2009.

Delmas is the second Dolphins player to win AFC Defensive Player of the Week this season, joining defensive end Cameron Wake, who earned the honor in Week 1.

Not a Player but a former QB Coach

Five coordinators next up to get head coaching jobs


4. The coach: Adam Gase, offensive coordinator, Denver Broncos
Recent history: Just 36 years old, Gase latched on with the Broncos in 2009 as a wide receivers coach and climbed the ladder from there. He was named offensive coordinator prior to the 2013 season.
Reasons for optimism: Gase has spent the past few seasons working with Peyton Manning, which has been a king-maker among offensive coordinators. But more important than that, Gase has taken the responsibility to another level. In the latter stages of his career, Manning's preparation has become more maniacal than ever. Gase has been in lockstep, answering late-night text messages and trying to beat the first-ballot Hall of Famer to the facility.
Why now?: There are only a handful of teams that are well-quarterbacked in this league, and there are plenty more that are eyeing possible franchise cornerstones in the next two years via the draft. Gase will be a nice fit for a young quarterback coming into this league. He's engaging, smart and approachable.
Ideal destinations: Like Jackson, we see Gase as an ideal fit for a franchise that has a developing quarterback -- or plans on developing one. Oakland, Tennessee, Washington and Cleveland come to mind.

I don't see Tennessee firing Whisenhut to hire Gase.
