    Thank you.


    They drove right down on the field on us without any problems they could have gotten in.

    Sometimes being a little thinner means you have a little more agility. As long as you're not an injury liability and a good blocker I don't think his size (he's actually tall if anything) is bad at all.

    You mean the thinking where we have 6 other young WRs who have as much if not more potential that Camarillo.

    6 other receivers who didn't go down with a season ending KNEE injury and aren't more than 9 months removed from it.

    He hasn't fully participated in training camp and he hasn't seen 1st team action in either preseason game.

    Do I think Camarillo will be cut? No, but I certainly wouldn't be shocked

    wouldn't surprise me to see Camarillo traded before game one.

    Actually, I think that might be one great trivia question.(who chucked the ball)
    If you replace Lemon with Marino then no one remembers the receiver, so perhaps Lt. answered the question.

    The Wide Receivers we have now are not sure bets to put up the kind of numbers Camarillo can.

    I think they let Camarillo rest till he is ready, then put him back as the #2 Receiver.

    That touchdown saved us from an 0-16 season.

    Because for that entire season, Lemon was ***. Camarillo, on the other hand, played solid football when he got the chance.

    With the flexibility of our different reciver 'types' I think you have packages depending on which Cornerbacks and schemes you're facing. In some cases, like in zone or off coverage, Bess would kill people.

    Hartline can stress the sideline and seam a little more.

    Camarillo is great against man when his cutting ability is 100%.

    I'll just have to trust Tony and wait to see who starts game 1 and who makes the 53 man roster. Too many reasons why/why not Hartline vs. Turner vs. Cammy. I expect it is about seeing Hartline get reps against opposing first stringers, but why not Turner doing that too? Color me perplexed.

    Ah...gotcha. So, Camarillo's TD, which was his 4th reception of the year, and 1st TD, qualified his season as 'solid football'. Interesting.

    That is a good point. In limited action last year, he did put up some respectable numbers.

    No offense, because I mean this Phin-Brother-to-Phin-Brother:

    I'm tired of hearing this. It's not true.

    The whole team won the whole damn game.

    It wasn't Greg Camarillo alone, on one TD catch. We, as a team, were in position to make that play... AND we got a little help from Baltimore to top it off.

    Instead of canonizing Camarillo as some sort of lunch-pail hero because one of his 8 catches on the season went for a TD at just the right time, I'd rather forget that atrocity of a season.

    How may times does someone need to watch Cam Cameron jumping down the field like a 10-year-old kid who just got the bike he wanted for Christmas because we just won one stinking football game before they realize how utterly pathetic it was?

    The only good thing to come out of that season, for me, is that it is now absolutely impossible for me to take any success the Dolphins have for granted.

    I know this is an unpopular view. I get it. However, I have the sneaking suspicion that a couple of more years down the road, after we've seen a little more success, lots of people who are disagreeing with me, right here... right now... will understand what I'm talking about.

    so a 2nd good thing to come out of that season is the fact Miami got that one win, so you can forget about it.

    Lions fans will never forget last year because they will ALWAYS be reminded of it.

    That catch was huge. In 10 to 15 years when nobody remembers that one win season it will be because of that catch. Hardly anybody remembers or thinks about Jimmy Johnson's Cowboys going 1-15 their first season. 0-16 will be remembered for years and years to come in. Just like everybody remembers how terrible those Bucs teams of the 70s were. Because they went a season and then some without winning a single game. When someone thinks of historically bad teams those Bucs teams are the first to come up. The 07 Dolphins would have joined that list. That would be our favorite team bearing that scar of futility and ineptness if it wasn't for Greg Camarillo. What we were celebrating was being given a gift, the gift of that season being able to go away and die with all the other bad seasons teams have had that nobody remembers.

    The team had come close before. The team had forced an overtime the first game of the season. But nobody had stepped up until Greg Camarillo sprinted to the endzone that fateful day. We all know it's a team game but you can't deny that Camarillo had an opportunity and he seized it.
