Lots of red meat from Campbell, which Dolfans and the media loves. But now the hard work of winning games needs to happen. It will be interesting to see what changes Campbell makes.

Brandon Fields cut. Wow...one of the best Punters in the NFL, a 2013 Pro Bowler.

It was just a combination things: trying to determine what DT was best at, DT needing to clean up his technique, DT needing to get stronger so he could be more consistent with his technique (i.e. when he got tired he played more upright and that's when trouble began). All the hard work is paying off now.

The read option is hard to sell if you don't have a QB who is a legitimate passing threat.

I like Thompson but I'm concerned about his ability to tackle in the open field. This is the second week in a row he had a chance to make an endzone saving play and couldn't come up with the stop.

Right now it seems as though Matt Hazel has the upper hand for the #6 job with Preston being waived. That was a nice red zone route and TD catch vs. Carolina. I like how he found the open spot in the zone and caught the ball with a LB bearing down on him. He's worth keeping.

Case watchers seem to agree that the law and the CBA are THE major hurdle for the Brady side. Again, it can't be good news when the judge links the punishment to the CBA and then to precedent. For all the criticism of the Wells report, it strongly implicates Brady with the culprits. There may not be a smoking gun re Brady's involvement, but it's damning that several former NFL QBs (some of th

Judge Berman just completed the pre-trial hearing today. I'm not a lawyer but it can't be a good thing for Brady when the judge connects the discipline Goodell handed out with the CBA and then precedents on punishments and courts upholding arbiter decisions. It also doesn't help that Brady's defense lawyer gave answers that not only threw McNally and Jastremski under the bus, contradicted Bra

Little surprise in the conclusions. Multiple HOFers called out Brady from the start, and of course Brady refused to provide his cell phone records. Equipment and locker room collaborators too. No one cares if locker room guys are punished. But Brady is in a LOT of trouble, to say nothing of the hit to his integrity.

I will be a happy man if they can grab Duke Johnson. Say what you will about size, clone of Lamar Miller, et al...the kid is a bonafide playmaker.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Re Parker, we will now find out definitively if the deep ball problem was with Wallace or Tannehill! I would have preferred Kevin Johnson as the pick but am OK with Parker. Not as thrilled as most, but OK.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

With Waynes and Shelton off the board, the proper pick now for the Dolphins is Johnson IMO.

Best defensive player on the board regardless of position. Just a hunch: Waynes or Johnson (cause Dolphins don't have a day one starter opposite Optimus Grimes) or Shelton.

As many of you know, I don't like making hard predictions on the draft because I just don't feel I have enough info to be knowledgeable enough on their thinking. That being said, I find that I keep coming back to defense and a belief they will take BPA. I keep staring at Waynes and Shelton on my short list. Again, not a prediction but a strong feeling. I know many Dolfans would like to see Gu

At this point we're better off continuing his development, even if he fouls out with another drug suspension because we won't get anything for him in a trade and no real cap relief UNLESS that rumor about his guarantee being voided due to his drug suspension is true...unable to confirm that. I still agree with the coaching staff...he's better off as DE. I know many fans and media disagree.

I think the Dolphins are trying solve the CB issue by throwing numbers at it and hoping someone emerges. Call it a Plan B in the event a CB worthy of the 14th pick isn't on the board. It's a risky plan for sure. Then again, the Brent Grimes signing was a risk that has paid off handsomely.
