Tidbits from the MiamiHerald

This came from Barry Jackson's Florida Sports Buzz, courtesy of the Miami Herald

CHATTER

  • The Dolphins' Vernon Carey said he graded out about 4 percent lower at left tackle in 2007 than at right tackle in 2006 and ''wouldn't have a problem'' moving back to the right side if asked.
  • Count former Browns tight ends coach Ben Coates -- who played for Bill Parcells in New England and interned as a coach with him in Dallas -- among those expressing interest in an assistant's job with the Dolphins. Miami is expected to pursue Dallas defensive assistants Todd Bowles and Paul Pasqualoni to join the staff of Tony Sparano, widely reported to be the Dolphins' likely head coach. . . .
Ex-Fins assistant file: Hudson Houck is a top candidate to replace Sparano as Dallas' offensive line coach, and Keith Armstrong interviewed with the Jets to succeed special teams coach Mike Westhoff, who left for health reasons.

Saw this and wanted to post because of what I said about V. Carey and moving him back to the right side. It seems as if I was wrong so I stand corrected. I am glad that Vernon is willing to move back, and feel that way for several reasons.

Number one, is that it makes the debate  much better as to who we might pick and that opens up as to who just might be willing to trade with us so we can get more picks and that neve5r hurts.

Also I do hope the Jets hire Armstrong, it couldn't happen to a better team.

amen to that
Please, JETS, please hire Armstrong.

that'll be another 2 TD for Ginn each year.

What's the deal with them hiring our former special teams guys anyway. maybe if WEsthoff's health gets better we can hire him. he was good while he was here.

so here's what the Dolphins could do:
move Carey back to RT, move Shelton to RG, draft Jake Long for LT, and let Hadnot walk. Yes, I used to be high on Hadnot, but I've found out that he is a potential lockerroom problem. Then we just need to upgrade the LG spot and this OL would be set for at least another year, at which time we can look to upgrade from Shelton.

thoughts?

About Hadnot...
Maybe it's nothing, but after the Bengals game (yes, I was there, bought tickets for my entire family, including dear old Mom...we sat about 10 rows up from the west end zone, behind the guy with the cape and the shoulder pads and the goofy hat and all the signs that they show during every televised game) Hadnot walked to the tunnel alone, before anyone else left the field.  He didn't shake hands with any Bengals or stop to acknowledge the crowd or flip anyone off.  He just made a straight line from the sideline to the tunnel and never looked back.

Again, it probably means nothing, and after this season can you really blame him?  But still, after these games, especially with it being the last game of the season, all the other players were mingling, talking, looking up at the few fans still hanging around and clamoring for a wave, a glove, a sweaty towel...

Hey Neo...
What is the little insignia at the end of your posts?  You know, the little

 >K?

 that now concludes all the messages.  I've looked at it from several different angles and I can't figure it out.  Or is it just a "K?" as in "Okay?"  Show a clueless middle-aged guy a little love (in a manly football sense, of course) and help me out.
