Lorenzo Booker=Safe

sounds good. its a bit of a shame we didnt see more of booker earlier in the year. but id say he definately earned his spot with this team in the last few weeks of this season.

 

Booker Acually started the game of Chatman

 

Of course the Tuna likes what he saw. Bookers a quick scat back with the ability to make people miss. I haven't seen anyone in a Dolphins uniform make people miss like that since...ever.

 

What's so crazy about it is that it took this long for him to actually get on the field. I don't think we will ever know the actual reasoning behind him not getting any playing time even with all of the injuries.

 

Oh we know the answer... i'll give you a hint, his first name is the same as his last.

 

ya I think that will be part of Cam's downfall.

 

Actually, its been said many times, its just no one's listening or wants to agree with it.

For him to be active, a better ST would have had to been inactive. Plus, he's not much of a pass blocker, which has been needed, and he missed a lot of time in camp. He actually was involved in a small amount of plays earlier in the season, and did nothing. It's funny how everyone assumes, that since he's playing well now, that he would've played that way from the first game. Maybe, just maybe, I know this is crazy, but maybe, he's playing this well now, because of the practice he's had for most of the season. Or does Cam just hate him? Really, what sounds more likely?

 

You must be too young to remember Mercury Morris.

 

Isn't he the Bill Cosby looking guy that's always rapping on ESPN?


Booker is a lot like Barry Sanders. Well atleast he has the quick moves and the number goin for him.

 

Unfortunately his career was almost 20 years before i existed, so yes.

 

I like him too.
Even though..he can not take hits WHAT SO EVER.
I remember when they gave him the ball in the redzone (on the drive where Tedd Ginn caught it in the inzone by the pylon) And it was a inside rn, between the lefgt guard and tackle..and as soon as he hit the hole, he got WACKED. IT wanst a big hit..but the way the defender hit him, and he flew back showed that he needs to work being more physicall.

 

I cant imagine he said "Keep Booker". I'd find it really hard to believe there'd be any real consideration into cutting any 1st day rookies.

 

i dont think he'd be in a rush to cut an unproven/promising 3rd round draft pick.

 

I watched the same thing and I think he actually said "Lord, please help me" as he's wondering why he signed on the dotted line to try to turn our disaster around.

 

I'll have to go back and look at that.. good to see you Matt.. happy new year. LoBook not being used until last resort, even though it is obvious that he is a playmaker, has to reflect badly upon Cam.. and the Ronnie Brown returner share reps with Chatman thing too.

 

Troy Sradford too. But yeah i am sure Booker is a keeper. i am surprised we even have to discuss his name. I suppose with Big Bill here, everyone will be a little worried about their jobs, even people we consider locks for next year.

 

Could he have said "Sweep Booker"?

 

[puts hands over ears, squints eyes closed] lalalalalalalalalalalala

 

Parcells had to watch Booker and envisioned another Dave Megget.

 

Booker will be better than meggett IMO. Meggett was essentially a 3rd down/ST player. Booker can be more of a team player than him, if not a great returner like meggett was.

 

Maybe he said "She's a looker"?

And Lo Book is pretty good.

 

I think the reason Mueller gave on WQAM was that he was down the depth chart and could only get in on ST but wasn't as good as others on ST so he was left off.

 

roniie returning kicks

I have heard so much aobut Ronnie brown returning kicks at the begining of the season. If I remeber corectly at the time ronnie was not up to par again and cam called him out and did it to motivate him to step it up and it worked. So I think it was a good idea and it worked so much for it being a bad thing. It's amazing how short some peoples memory is.

 

That little Maggot ... was about 195 or so as I recall... not 160.

 

Cam got Ronnie to return kicks. i am not sure this made any differenece to Ronnie's performance. i think RB performance to be stellar anyhows, and never believed that what cam done improved Ronnie's performance. So to say what Cam done worked is not really true, as Ronnie never really got better, only as good as he ever was.

 

good...hes got skills

 

True Dat!

 

Booker is a playmaker so there's always gonna be room for him on the team.....I knew he could catch the football but he was good running it too....can't wait to see what he can do next season in a full year for him.

Ozzy rules!!

 

Well I saw a totally different runner than he was the last couple of years. He was focused and determined. I wasn't the only one who nocticed. THeir were many stories about why was cam doing it and the consenus was that it was to call out ronnie and it work IMHO.
Disagree if you like. What ever happened, it worked so to say it was a bad thing is contrary to the facts. Ronnie was clearly playing better. I think after gettign caled out he was on a mission to prove he wasn't a bust and stepped up. finally.

 

It would be interesting to see Ronnie's stats before and after the Kick Return episode. My personal belief is that Ronnie was always good, and didn't need the kick up the arse that a lot of others believed he did.

 

There's a reason Booker lost his starting job at FSU to Antone Smith (albeit for one game because Atone got injured that game). It's because he's too small to be taking on players from the front seven and is hesitant at the line of attack when going up the middle. He's very shifty, however he cannot be an every down back in the NFL because of his size.

Basically he's a poor man's Reggie Bush. Good change of pace back, but can't really carry the ball up the middle or in traffic. However, he makes up for that by being a very good receiver. He should show some nice production and putting him in the backfield at times with Brown or Chatman would be a good decision, but he still has a lot to learn about football in the NFL. The plus side to that is that he's a hard worker, a good learner, and a good teammate..

 

Thats the rumor anyway, we'll probably never know if it was a fact. Best guess at this point.

 

theres an easy answer to this...Cam is clueless...

 

Its not hard at all to come to this conclusion...How about this fact...Cam left Booker out until about week 12 or something, and when Booker did come in he was vastly productive. we all saw it on the field.. Its proves Cam doesnt know how to judge talent.

 

cams been making horrible decisions all year long, thats where i get this one from. He hasnt proved anything to anyone except in his first year as a head coach he was horrible. If he is kept around maybe he can change that, im not saying he will or will not [if given a year 2] but as it stands right now, he hasnt proved he knows how to make solid football decisions
