The problem with our WR's is that we haven't had a starting QB that can throw an accurate deep ball since Marino. I like Chad Pennington; but, even on his long balls, they float, the WR has to come back, fight, etc. If our QB hits Ginn deep streaking down the sideline....Ginn becomes an elite WR...by virtue of the QB's throw. The coverage changes which opens things up for the other WR's a

yes, we drafted him and Wanny cut him....and then he started for several teams winning SB rings with the Pats and the Giants. I remember his claim to fame was that he castrated sheep with his teeth. I have a feeling he is losing something if he can't stay as depth for the Seahawks. Unless he refused to sign for the veteran minimum. I wouldn't be sad if we signed him. he is versatile and

I was impressed with the poise and control White showed; not to mention his zip. He ain't there yet; but, I liked what I saw. I think we will see him in a game sooner than Henne.

The depth chart this week is meaningless for fans. It is being used as a carrot for some and a whip for others. Parcells & Sparano want competition at key positions. Some guys think they have the job lined up so they drop them on the chart to see if they can give more. Other guys are busting their butts and making plays and getting rewarded, even if only temporarily. The Depth Chart

With the new changes on kick-offs, I wouldn't be surprised to see Bess get another shot at it. Elusiveness will be more important than it used to be. with the wedge being split up, there will be new lanes, and more importantly more cutback lanes.

At 36 he needs to accept a contract that offers him a chance to compete for the starting job, with the more likely role of back-up. He was healthy all last year, so he certainly will have something left in the tank; and , he will feel he has something to prove. sign him.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

True, but we spent the money on Wilford already. Keeping Wilford will cost us $3 million. Cutting him would cost us $4.5 million. So our WR locks are Ginn, Bess and Camarillo. I would think it is safe to say Turner is a lock. Wilford will be our 6th WR/3rd TE. That means Brandon London has to beat out Brian Hartline as the ST/5th WR. If you were Matt Jones would you sign on the
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I liked him in the draft. If they sign him i won't be sad; but, we have 3 WR's on the team that are 6'4" or taller. Jones is not a #1 WR and neither will Wilford, London or Turner be. So the question is....how much of an upgrade is he? How much is that worth/ and does it make sense to take snaps away from Turner? Ginn is a lock. sounds like Camarillo is back, Bess is a lock. Turner
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

We made the play-offs with connsistently improved play in all phases of the game. Each part got better as the year progressed. As you pointed out; we have upgrades in many areas, so it is reasonable to expect more improvement; even if there is a short adjustment. Pats- Brady is back; however, Moss is now 32 yrs old and will start to lose a step and take longer to recover; their OL is old
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I don't think we are 'that' close to making a strong run, so bringin in an older vet just takes snaps away from young guys. I think our Front Office is committed to developing the guys on the roster, or waiting until next year.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Agreed. In addition we have enough new prospects to provide a tall possession WR. In the short term Ginn is going to face double teams and lock up with their #1 CB; but, as a big tall WR emerges to move chains on 3rd down, we are going to see teams risk 'man' coverage on Ginn on 3rd and medium situations which could provide some of those big plays!

Agreed, not sure how these moves are worse than Wayne, Blockbuster and questionable Waste management wealth? These owners will bring new fans to the team; we already have corporate suits buying ticks and leaving the game before half...so how bad can these new fans be? Maybe Ross is lining up 8 minority music act owners and we will have pre-game, half-time, and post-game music acts? the r

JT could also play TE in a pinch, in the red zone anyway. Could you imagine a red-zone formation with Turner, London, Wilford ( I know he'll likely get cut...just work with me), and JT? That's 6'5", 6'4", 6' 4", and 6'5". What team could cover that? line up two on each side and look for the shortest defender.

It is true that teams 'learned' to defend the Wildcat to this extent: They sold-out on plugging those running lanes and covered the 'trick' pass ( flea flicker); they did leave plenty of open WR's because they knew Ronnie brown would sooner grind out 3 yards then try a challenging throw. The first time they line up with Pat white in the Wildcat, they need to be ready to take what the D give

No I'm not kidding. Notice i didn't say "he would have been good" I said "who knows how it would have turned out. And that comment was in the context of comparing Cam's 1 year to Wanny's 5.

I agree about the Ginn highlights. When we drafted him and I saw those hghlights...I thought...wow!! In retrospect, when i re-examine the Ginn highlights....we is a great return guy, and turning hitch passes into big plays, or reverses. but I haven't seen as much 'wr' footage that impresses me. That said, he is improving. This year he could hit 1,000 yds.

Gotta agree. Wanny still makes me want to puke. 1) Screwed over Marino. 2) Was in love with Jay Fiedler to the point that he passed up on Drew Brees, siging a young Trent Green. ARGH!!!!

Camarillo starts on the PUP. We carry 6 until it looks like he is ready to play and then try to sneak 1 onto the practice squad. Bess, Ginn, & Turner are locks. London, Hartline & Wilford fight are the most logical to make it. If one of the small guys shows some good hands and crisp breaks, then they will have to choose between London and Wilford. London is inexperienced

he has not played LB in a 3-4 scheme. he did play LB in college, but in the CFL he never dropped into coverage, he was a traditional end.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

JT has done it before, and as was said, this coaching staff will get creative. My thought is, if you have a goal line situation and you put those 5 as WR's, there isn't a team in the NFL with 3 guys who can cover 6'4". There will be 2 guys covered by LB's or by short DB's. If they go short DB....uh...there's the target. If they slide bigger LB's outside and fill the middle with DB's..

I guess I didn't catch you seperating Sparano from the Trifecta. fair enough. Parcells and ireland get the blame then. But I still say he was far from a stiff. He is a situational player. Chain movers typicall have high 1st down percentages but low over-all numbers. And that's who Wilford is.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

sorry if this was covered in one of the 100 posts on the other thread but.... So essentially we lent JT to the Redskins for 1 year which saw them assume JT's $8 million salary in exchange for Pat White. And now we get to sign him for $1.5 million. What must the Redskins fans be thinking? HOLY CRAP!!! Parcells just bent the Redskins over and....well you know!

Agreed, don't get me wrong. I love Sparano and Parcells. they are doing great things for us. BUT...as a 'realist' I try to keep track of the good and the bad. The Wilford thing so far is the only 'negative' thing I am attributing to Sparano. It is unfair to pin it all on Wilford. The guy is who he is, and has value to someone. If the Trifecta want to pass on him...fine...but let's not pre
