MIAMI GARDENS — The Miami Dolphins were back on the practice field for Day 6 of training camp, but something changed. The Dolphins were in pads for the first time, turning up the intensity as the weatherman turned up the heat and humidity for a workout exceeding 90 minutes.

Practice started with one-on-ones. The pass catchers faced the defensive backs and the offensive line went up against the defensive line. The battle in the trenches was the first sign of a renewed energy and vision for this Dolphins team, a team that's had no problems creating big plays.
