DOLPHINS: Dave George Eats Crow

[Danny Nelson]

I'm sorry Randy, but I really did not do a good job of expressing myself
yesterday.

I suppose you could find irony in the situation, but then again it wasn't like
Washington was a sure thing to make the playoffs or anything.  They were
expected to do better than Miami though, obviously.

I just don't see a Taylor vs. Porter arguement though.  Personally I would
rather have both guys and then we might really have a good pash rush. 
Watching Porter struggle for the most part all game against Orlando Pace
really reinforced that notion to me.  But IMO JT is not a 3-4 guy, at either
DE or LB- he's much better suited as a DE in a 4-3.  and I think that had a
lot to do with the way that he was shunned when Parcells came on board.  I
don't Parcells was all that offended by JT's dancing venture in of itself- I
think he just didn't care because he knew that JT didn't fit into the plans.

I think (and this is based on nothing but my perception) that had Parcells
embraced (or even aknowledged the existence of) JT when he came on, that JT
might have preferred to stayed in Miami.

find it ironic that the team he went to is doing no better than the Dolphins?
