Cam clarifies his statement

Following practice on Saturday, Cam Cameron clarified what he meant when he made comments about the team's kickoff return team following Thursday night's game.  Here's what he said on Saturday:

"Maybe it got looked at as something permanent, but those would be the guys returning the kicks for that game, and Ted was going to return punts for the duration of the game."

Cam also said that he's still unsure on who will handle the kick returns in next week's game against Tampa Bay.  

Here's my take.  I like Cam and all and I think he's going to be exactly what this franchise needs.  In fact, Cam was the coach I wanted all along as soon as Nick Saban's departure became official.  But I think that Cam isn't so much clarifying his statement as he is backing off his statement, probably because he finally came to his senses.  It's hard to believe that he would need to "clarify" the fact that he responded to a question about Jesse Chatman and Ronnie Brown by saying, "That'll probably be our return unit."  A statement like that doesn't exactly need clarification.  It seems pretty straight-forward.  

Instead, maybe Cam came over to this very site and saw his "approval rating" just plummet following the news that Ronnie could very well be the team's return man.  Maybe he heard the outcry of Dolphin fans everywhere worrying about the risk involved in subjecting the team's best offensive player to the physicality of being a return man.  Who knows?  What's important is that Cam is backing off the statement.  

Here's to hoping Ronnie never has to handle a kick return ever again.

Baffling...
Matty, I know you are all on board with Cameron but the Ronnie Brown KR thing was absolutely moronic. Ask yourself what would we be talking about now if Brown had gotten injured on a return???

Let's not get started on Ted Ginn and what he supposedly brings this team. Running routes, beating NFL CB's - ok that stuff takes some time to learn - but are we to believe he won't be returning kicks because he's a rookie?

I'm sure this guy, Cameron, has a plan, but it sure didn't look like it when he throws out his franchise back, the one who is supposed to be our LT, to return kickoffs.

It was moronic..
...and I made sure to say it was in a previous post.  But now I'm just glad it seems Cam has come to his senses.

Ronnie
What in GOD's name is Cameron thinking? If he's complaining about Ronnie getting caught from behind the other night, why would you want him returning kicks? If he gets hurt bringing a kickoff back we will be in big trouble. Also, Chatman has been good against 2nd and 3rd team defenses, and maybe Cam is just trying to light a fire under Ronnie but If Chatman takes over for Ronnie, Cam may need to get his brain looked at!

agreed!
Chatman can't even hold Ronnie's jock (though I don't see why he'd want to in the first place)
