Cam Cameron

Rather than turn every one of Matty's posts into a Cameron debate, I will try and post my first diary.

I read the following in the Miami Herald today and decided to post it because there isn't any way I could say it better.

It is from Greg Cote:

Star-divide

What they see most, though, and what we see, is an unwavering coach in control of his focus and direction, which in this season is like trying to hold onto your hat in a hurricane. This is a guy who hasn't stopped believing in his young team and has somehow held it together even as its win-loss record has blown apart.

It is why no dissension corrodes this locker room from the inside, despite the torrent of defeats. "It is why the Dolphins keep fighting hard every week -- no given in a season like this one -- even as a rather unbelievable five losses by three points each have teased and teased but offered only heartache without reward.

That Cameron hasn't lost his team in this storm or deflected heat from himself by blaming several major injuries speaks well of his leadership and gives you the impression his head-coaching career won't end up being defined by 2007, but might gather strength from it instead.

Miami won't finish 0-16, but even if Miami somehow did, Cameron will survive to coach another year -- and should."

Of course, that is from Cote.....
you have to remember, he has been picking the Fins to win every week in his office pool.

I agree
We may just be seeing what Cam cameron is really made of and the more I see the more I like.

What should Cam be doing different?
Are you serious??? Do you really think Cameron is responsible for this team going 0-10?  He maybe part of the problem.  Watch your 2nd favorite team play, does their coach make any poor decisions?

Yes or No- Do you want Zach Thomas to remain the starting middle linebacker?

I am not really clear from your post whether...
you are saying you think Cam is doing a good job or a poor one.

He's doing
a decent job so far.  I think he will keep them playing hard and get the best out of this team for the rest of the year.  We aren't talented enough, accept it and hope for improvement.  Develop the talent we have, FA, and productive draft.  If we end up w/ the #1 overall pick I think we might trade down.
Anybody else?

Uh
We aren't talented enough to win 1 game? Your wrong.

Let the bashing begin
cause I'm about to intereject some optimism.  I must be a homer.

The young talent we have on this team was promising this week.  I'm glad to see Ginn doing something as the bashing of him has disappeared on this site (to cam's dismay).  Beck will need some experience, but I'm still confident.  The OL is relatively young , although we could use a RT update.  The defense...well, they need some work, but the secondary has been playing better.  I was going nuts when Jason Allen played well!  We have some young players that should develope into very good players.  Hopefully Ronnie will come back full strength next season and the turnaround will begin.  I hope to see more of the Wright brothers, maybe they can help this defense out!

No Bashing
I am excited about the young talent as well, and I was VERY excited about Jason Allen, because is is kinda an Ace in the hole.  We were about to count him out, and if he actually starts playing like a 1st rounder, that's a huge bonus!

Yeah no shit
We dont have much talent but we should be able to eek out a win somewhere. People dont realize its his jackass playcalling? Every 2nd & 2 or 2nd & 3 hes pounding the damn thing straight back into the line, shit man on those downs go long for the end zone, we might get a TD or maybe even a pass interference call or at worse get an interception. Hell even that gets us better field position than our rookie punter.

NEVER
It's never ever Cameron's fault. You don't know that by now? He is only the HC.

by Neo on Nov 21, 2007 12:21 AM EST up reply actions  

He's also
a human being. Oh and plus, he's a nice guy.

Give Cam a chance, by 2017 this team will be contender. :P

I totally agree about the long passes..
a lot of people say you are taking a chance with that philosophy because if you get picked, the Offense has to play D, and they are not prepared to do that.
But i would say, have you seen our special teams play?  With the points and field position given up, how could the O do much worse.

Throw it deep on a few plays early on and put opposing D's on notice.
