Unless I'm mistaken, I don't remember there being a hernia issue at draft time, there was only the kidney issue. Looking on Google, his surgery...
Regardless of Omar, this coaching staff made him a starter, what does that imply other than he practiced better than the other guys. BTW, hating...
My fiance is a Vol's fan, so I saw a lot of Tenn's games (mostly internet streams). Hunter had a habit of dropping balls, imo, when he worried...
Don't see a TE in the first, but certainly adding one later. I kind of like Mychal Rivera from Tennessee, only 6'3'' and 245, but good hands and...
For me, not really a hard decision on CJ, if he isn't a starter (and I don't think he will be), he'll get cut and replaced by a younger, cheaper,...
I don't know that we've seen the best of Hartline or Bess. Our offense, for so long, has been primarily a running team, our OL wasn't built to...
I would think having a hard set number of players at a certain position making the team, may not necessarily take into account the team typically...
A fast paced offense will also limit what the defense can do, scheme-wise and speed-wise...and if RT should start sooner than later, it may/should...
I hope thats just coach-speak, and that a change is coming, because Henne will likely not be about to play Dink and Dunk like Penny did. Also, we...
Dupree, I understand what you're saying, but when I look at the really good defenses, how they blitz and how effective they are, I don't see ours...
I actually blame the loss on the conservative nature of our offense and defense...essentially, what Sparano is comfortable with. Being...
The other day on the radio, one of the players (think it was Smiley) said they've practiced a dozen new WC plays.
My ideal situation will be for Henne to win the qb job in training camp this year, trade Penny for a high draft pick for next year, and keep JB as...
Unless they were trying to be funny, i.e. the statement came from another interview, they actually played a sound bite from BP.
Noticed this tidbit in the Q&A: Scott C January 20, 2009 5:23 pm Hi Wes, Thanks a lot for the article on the Senior Bowl. Quick...
Here's another link. http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/2009/01/east-west-shrine-game-practice-report/
I read this article a little bit differently than some. It's very possible that as the system got more complicated, JA started thinking too much...
It seems to me the next step is using Bess and London more on third downs, we're awful on 3rd and long. Unlike some, I see Bess to be more like...
Sorry, didn't really see the message thing notice before, in fact, after all this time, I still don't seem to know a whole lot about the board...
Good write-up as usual. You mentioned Ginn in the return game. Last year, it seems to me, we'd start on about the 35 yd line most of the time...
Saw Haynos play once last year...not quick nor fast, didn't see him get any separation on his routes. He'll have to make it on his height and...
Nobodies mentioned it because of the success of the wildcat formation, but we ran a lot of 4-5 wideout formations, with the WRs, TEs and RBs, we...
Been looking around for other solutions since the Adobe Flash 10 beta works for some sites, but not others. So went back to Flash 9 and found the...
I was sorta hoping we'd look at this guy regardless of Thomas's injury. I remember him at Alabama at left guard, he and LT Wesley Britt formed a...
Yes and no. If they're having to think too much about their route, defense, setting up the CB, their technique, etc...I can certainly see where...
They say it's usually in the 3rd yr, but, I'm betting that doesn't take into account being in 3 different offenses in 3 yrs. Also, that 3 yr time...
This worked for me, but don't really know how long it'll work...Firefox 3 is certainly fickle. You have to download the flash uninstaller from...
Instead of the comparison to the Jets, I'm wondering if the Saints might be a better comparison. A Parcells protege taking over the team, and a...
I see those numbers, and think...those numbers should be about what they are, taking into considering that he's starting his 9th year in the NFL,...
Why stop there? Eventually, they'll all be gone, and we'll all be rooting for someone else.
Been away, looks like I missed some things. Apparently you're assuming that just because I see some condescending comments, that I'm thin...
That's where you're wrong. Every team is concerned about who they have at qb, regardless of whether they're the backup or the backup's backup,...
That's what he needs to be right now, otherwise, in the next year or two, we'll be using another draft pick on a qb, and several years invested...
I don't know if you're a fan of JB or not, and not that it matters, but your title seems to be making fun of or taking a jab at Beck.
How about it's just about this and nothing else...it's a qb that's probably not getting any meaningful snaps, if any at all, from a center who may...
Who's said anything about Beck considering his time with the Dolphins funny?
Some of you guys are too funny. I'm surprised there hasn't been a dissertation written about Beck's whole life based a center-to-qb botched snap.
Looks like they're waiting for JB to be released. "The Baltimore Ravens pulled in QB Casey Bramlet last night (in a story broken first here,...
I believe that I've read that they've picked up Casey Bramlet off waivers.
So far, unless I missed something, I haven't seen the stronger leg. I'm hoping that coaches don't want him to kick the ball into the end zone...
I would think that the first option is finding a TE that can do FB duties, with keeping 2 FBs as the second option.
I hope he's right, that would be outstanding. It looks like Sparano's not just a Parcells clone/stooge, he's actually knows what he likes and what...
It really doesn't make a whole lot of sense...our WR corp isn't exactly an area of strength. I would think we'd want to keep what little talent we...
Actually, I believe they've both been mentioned as DEs, and possible backup NTs, with Dotson being one much farther in the future. I'm guessing if...
Draftdaddy shows us with this player : WR Selwyn Lymon, Purdue
I'm hoping he gets to compete with Satele, and it's possible he could win that C spot. Mormino supposedly was a very good drive blocker in...
Long arms, narrow calves, good movement in pass blocking, must have a large upper body at 251 lbs.
Draft Daddy shows us getting FB Rolly Lumbala, Ihdaho. Whoops, I see you have a sticky. Disregard.
Just for the heck of it, I wish they'd invite this guy. Texas State's Chris MacDonald. "MacDonald earns his third All-America honor of the...

No, you must be thinking about another player.
Eric Young OT Tennessee, definitely would have been drafted if he hadn't gotten hurt. "Young was again named All-SEC second-team in 2007,...
With a new coaching staff and new offense, eventually, I don't really think there's going to be enough reps for 3 qbs. I think Beck and McCown...
With Jake, we still only have 3 tackles on the team. We certainly need another tackle that can be a backup tackle, and move inside to challenge...
A punter? I know we sent someone to look at a place-kicker, but don't remember us being interested in a punter. But if there's going to be...
Interesting info about Henning's view of our new offense...not taking what the defense gives you, but an attacking type of offense. Here I...
ATVZ400, I just wanted to personally thank you for the work you provide with all the links; Most people don't have the time or the patience to do...
Every year there's players that get hurt, and get drafted later than they should. My pick for this year is Eric Young of Tennessee. I could see...
SCALL13, I don't think it's about discarding Beck, I think it's more to do with having someone challenging Beck next year or after McCown's...
If you're talking to me, I'd say no. I think JT's perceived restriction is really only on playing for the dolphins. I'm guessing that there's...
Sounds like JT's way of politely telling Bill to trade him.
I think we're going to try to go after Henne. Apparently, with the shortened time between picks, a lot of phone calls are being made now to set up...
With McCown being signed only for 2 yrs, drafting a qb, no doubt, was in their plans. So the thinking may be, why not increase the odds of the qb...
Listened to Carey's interview with Rose on WQAM, he said he's excited to go back to RT, but when Joe mentioned about going to guard, it was more...
Don't really want a qb that early, but it's certainly possible. We only signed McCown to a 2 yr contract, and if next year's draft is that...
May not cost anything if JT is involved in the talks, may even get something extra.
I can kind of see it helping, in the sense that any team wanting to go after another passing DE on another team, knows it's going to have to pay...
"Pittsburgh Steelers slapped the transition tag on their backup right tackle for $6.9 million!" Wow.
A while back, there was article where Carey seemed to indicate that he wouldn't mind a shift back to the right side (unfortunately, I don't have a...
I wouldn't dismiss it completely. Back in '99 with the Jets, Bill traded out of the 1st round, then picked a G and OT in the 2nd and 3rd round,...
Interesting question, and the answer is, no doubt, tied to the question of whether the Rams can now start negotiating with a player of their...
I'm almost certain he did mention Dogra's name. I assumed that he help grease the wheels, and that it didn't really make a difference since they...
He can also makes our defensive better if he helps in shortening the game by his run-blocking. Hopefully, we get or have a good LG, we'll be...
"Russell signed a six-year, $61 million rookie contract that guarantees him $32 million." "...reach certain offensive targets and victory totals,...
I'm hoping Mormino takes that LG spot, but we still need another tackle for a backup who can, at the least, play RT, and has the ability to move...
The most important question was about whether he's going to be a LT or RT (Hard to hear the questions). Sparano said Jake's was picked to be a...
I really like the way Ireland sounded today, comfortable and in control. Heck, even Sparano sounded more comfortable than he has in the past. I...
790 says, according to Mort, a contract been agreed upon, conference later today.
This article and his blog about the same topic, makes me wonder about a few things. In his blog, Ethan wrote, " they don't just put alerts on...
I wish the article had been more informative, it doesn't mention what tapes he's talking about. My guess is that it'll be on the opponents we'll...
I'm having a hard time wrapping my hands around Chris Long being our first pick, unless the talks with Condon goes awry. When we were pursuing...
Oh, ok. Wow, I just got done reading what KFFL wrote, and they totally misinterpreted what Omar wrote, especially about not being comfortable...
Are you getting that quote from Omar's article or KFFL or somewhere else? Here's what he wrote..." Ireland also said the Dolphins are...
BPK, You may want to read Omar's article again. He didn't say Ireland would be looking for a #1 WR in the draft, nor does he mention Ireland...
"I'm not really one to take a lot of risks. I like going after guys that fit what we do, but at the end of the day you're rolling the dice."......
Odd, I read the original article this past winter, and it used to list Lewin's top 15 qbs with a little write-up of the top 10, now the link...
Of course, that slip may say a lot about the contract talks with Condon.
"...the Dolphins have Jake Long as the highest-rated prospect in the draft, their grade on the All-American offensive tackle is only slightly...
New offense with new OL and maybe qb, new defense, new st., new coaches...under.
I see a run on OTs just as much as on DL. Should leave a lot of talent at other positions at #33.
You sure that's what you're smelling?:yes:
It's funny you mention this scenario. In Omar's blog today, in the comments section, here's a Q&A about Chris Long. omar why chris long stock...
I've been sporadically listening to 790, and they mentioned, what if the top teams after us followed suit, and then we'd all be trying to put in...
To me, he's one of the most puzzling players in the draft. Great measurables, with so little production because of injuries. 21 career receptions...
Hard to believe. I've been reading about the condition, and noticed that having the procedure done once doesn't necessary end it. Read one story...
If the report about the draft board being set is true, then they already know who we're going to draft, and the contract talks are about just...
According to sources on the scene Kelly’s agent Chad Speck got into a heated verbal confrontation with the Oklahoma Sooner strength and...
Interesting player. Added some weight, up to 242 lbs, and still ran around a 4.54 at the combine.
If I'm no mistaken, Mike Mayock said he liked Groves as a player, but not as a person. Does anyone know anything about Groves personality?
Did anyone seen him play this past year? I'd certainly like to get a better feel for him. I've read he lacks athleticism, but not to what extent....
As far as I'm concerned, this says it all: "Building a strong offensive line is the No. 1 priority..." If the FO is going for immediate...
I read that Jackson may have gotten caught smoking pot, sometime during the season. May be he lied about do so during the interviews. And saw on...
When Bill was with the Jets, he drafted 1 OL in '97, 3 in '98, then in his third year, and last year with them, he drafted 4 OL. 1999: Traded...
Good write up. Optimism isn't a bad thing. :yes: I'm wondering if he'd be even more explosive if we waited until the second half of games to...
"At tight end, Sparano said, ''I really like David Martin -- he's a big, athletic player. " I suppose he's not wrong with this statement, but...
I hope we do. Looking back at Parcells and Ireland's past, I see that they haven't drafted an OL in the first round, but, that strategy hasn't...
I have no problem with Carey at LT, but if we can get a LT that's better, then we've got the makings of a very good line; Besides, I had the...
I'm really glad that Sparano finally said something about our qb situation, and something about drafting one. "He's probably thrown 1,000...
Actually, I didn't feel Mormino was doing well at all before he got injured, I didn't think he was strong enough. But what I really like about him...
The secondary is mentioned as a need in another article, as well as, LBs, WRs, and linemen. http://www.miamiherald.com/616/story/479555.html

Have you seen Nate Davis (Soph) of Ball State? I watched their bowl game against Rutgers, which they lost because of the talent level difference,...
Odd, his own HC, Jeff Jagodzinski former GB Packers OC, said he's had this qb before...it was Matt Hasselbeck.
I agree, it does seem that the prior administration was thinking about the possibly of moving Samson to guard...but even though this new...
Watching that video of Carlson, he appears to catch most of his passes with his upper body facing the qb, which really causes him to have to...
It's true he won't be the coach, but it's not too hard to assume that whoever is chosen, he'll have to answer how he's going to run TC before he's...
I'm hoping if Sparano's hired, he'll have seen the benefits and pitfalls of both, and fall somewhere in between.
Dallas's #3rd rb, Tyson Thompson 6-1 225, was an undrafted FA in '05, apparently very elusive. This past year, they picked up another undrafted FA...
Keep in mind, when JT roams around, the other players (DL, LB, safeties, CB) have to cover whatever gaps he leaves behind. With Porter taking a...

Hey "bub", sounds like you're taking my post personally, don't, it's not personal. I just found it funny you say Beck is a "statue", while at the...
Too funny, you're working both sides of the argument...either Beck's a statue or he could be a mobile qd who never pans out. Let's just say, he...
You're making the mistake of seeing Beck staying in the pocket, to read the defense, with not having mobility. He could easily have rolled out...
Not true. His combine numbers that I could find: 1) 20 shuttle - He came in 4th behind Anthony Gonzales, Chris Davis, and David Clowney. For...
On a side note, I read where Parcells was told to keep an eye on Freddie Kitchens by Mississippi State's HC Slyvester Croom, apparently, they have...
Yep, him and Jeff Rutledge, also an ex-Alabama qb, were hired by the Arizona Cardinals as coaches in 2007.
Personally, I think that's a question that won't be answered until after free agency and the draft. We certainly, at this time, don't seem to have...
May be I'm reading too much into it, but it sounds like good news for John Beck. Imo, Bill saw enough of John to get a qb coach to change that low...

Romo is 6-2, 224. Beck is 6-2, 216.
Sorry, I disagree. How can any team suffering so many injuries be expected to do much competitively, especially when we've had so many piss poor...
Sorry, I have to disagree. We were just competitive enough in some of the games to be close, and not get blown away for the most part in other...
Heck, we didn't have a prayer at running a 4-3 either. If you have a tape of those games, especially those earlier games, go watch our DL, they...
Did any of you guys see him in the bowl game? He dropped at least 4 balls. May be he was having a bad game, but he wasn't that impressive.
Some of you guys need to get a sense of humor...here's a link to a fellow dolphin fan's blog, but don't be offended as he refers to Beck as The...
He certainly didn't have great hands in the bowl game, he had, I believe, at least 4 drops.
From what I saw, in the bowl game, when Okam was being double-teamed, he was getting moved off the line. Kind of reminded me of our DL this year....
