ANY WIN AGAINST THE JETS IS A GOOD DAY! But I agree about Ronnie. WHAT HAS HAPPENED? Either: 1.) He's not over last years injury. 2.) The injuries of the last few years have finally taken a toll physically and/or mentally. 3.) He is off the 'performance enhancers'? I mean come on, he looks so much smaller and lighter.

Let's face it, if guys with the speed quickness and athleticism to cover NFL receivers could catch, they'd be receivers not DB's.

Haven't seen Locker much. Got to admit, Newton is strong and looks impressive, but so was/did Brady Quinn. As we have learned from Henne in regards to his passing ability, A strong arm + College accuracy <> NFL accuracy. The windows are smaller and close very quickly with the speed and athleticism of the DB's Don't know exactly how you go about judging this but if that is there...

Congrats. Sometimes we may not think so but this is BY FAR the most civilized Dolphin forum site on the net. Some of the others are like being in the middle of def comedy jam.

While I'm not a Henne groupie, I have noticed the wildcat being disruptive to our offensive rhythm since the Pennington days. A few thoughts on this since you asked me to sit back and think: First, PLEASE stop with the Brady and Manning examples, Henne is not Brady or Manning and Indy or N.E. has never run the wildcat effectively, we HAVE. Second, I say HAVE because overall the wildca

I remember Don, Frank and of course HOWARD. One of my funniest memories of that era was when the camera was panning the crowd and stopped for a moment on a HUGE sign with HOWARD spelled out over a picture of Cosell. Someone in the crowd must have had their portable 70's TV with them because as soon as the camera stopped the bottom of the sign unfolded with SUCKS! written across it. That

Hopefully last night was the start of the Jet's yearly implosion. Of course I had to go shower after pulling for the Pats. But seeing Ryan mouthing obscenities any time the camera cut to him was worth it.

Our team has simply become a mediocre football team. Certainly not what we fans who remember the 70's and 80's were used to. I think your right Shady. A tweak here and tweak there aren't going to help. It's time to throw the baby out WITH the bath water and find some people who care about winning instead of proving themselves and their methods right.
