Lineup changes ahead for Dolphins

With the Dolphins back at practice today for the first time since Sunday's debacle in Arizona, it seems as though some lineup changes could be ahead for this Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Here's what we know, at least based on the media's ability to attend the first half hour of practice:
- Ernest Wilford continues to drop passes and seems to be either the team's 4th or 5th WR - with Derek Hagan being the other.
- Ted Ginn is back to being on the field in 3 WR sets, lining up with Greg Camarillo and Davone Bess.
- Chris Crocker seems to have lost his job. But no, he's not being replaced by Jason Allen. He's being replaced, potentially, by Renaldo Hill.
- Ronnie Brown lined up with the first team, with Ricky Williams dropped to second team.
So we'll have to see if these lineup changes stick or not throughout the week. One other note, the RG spot still seemingly belongs to Ike Ndukwe - at least for today.

Kind of a cool thing about Ndukwe...
…Sparano said that he also stayed up the entire night after Sunday’s loss. Never went home. Kind of weird for a RG, but could be an indication of a great work ethic and someone who actually cares about the job.
Go Dolphins.
If I had a tagline, this would be it.

Yeah
I was very impressed to hear that. He’s clearly a young guy who really is looking to get better.

well the proof is in the pudding
lets see… cleo worked hard last year… but that didn’t get him/team anything… you have to have the DNA to go with the work habbits to do well in this league and Ndukwe was owned on sunday and he wasn’t exactly playing against an All pro – o/line…
and the sun-sent… said mathis(sp) is working with the first teamers this week? so that may be another line up change

Good.
Ndukwe has consistently shown that he was not starter material. I don’t give a shit if he stays up late at night.

LOL
yeah, it will just make him tired the next day, and THAT can’t help.

thats easy....
Give me the Purple ribbon right now……..I’d dress up as Nick Saban…..the scariest thing to a Dolphin fan bar none.

well seems like every year Ronnie has to re-apply for his own job...
Looks like he has finally been “re-hired.”
I cant wait to see what he can do. Hopefully he’ll get a lot of carries. I know he’ll find a way to spark this offense if given the opportunity to wear the defense down.
by JeffT on Sep 17, 2008 1:46 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Seriously
Despite the fact that we know he;s a stud and despite teh fact that we win when he has around 25 carries, No one likes to give him the fucking ball.

Don't tell me you are

I don't think he is being sarcastic...
Neo really likes Beck…. it’s just that he’s been hurt and is now afraid to trust.

couple of points
really isn’t it time to just play some of these guys… hagan’s in .. nope he’s out…. ginn’s in… nope he’s out…
I really want to believe in this coaching staff and I really want to think that they have plan to turn things around but every time I look at what they are doing with the receivers I have to wonder if the ghost of Cam has possesed these guys…
as to ronnie or ricky – it doesn’t matter who is back there… until they get a QB in there that can throw the ball beyond/over the LB … they aren’t going to get more then 1 or 2 yards a carry… it’s simple math right now 6 blockers agains 9 guys in the box.
as to crocker – why is the guy still on the team… can’t they raid someone’s practice squad for a db or safety… I HAVE seen enough of this guy to know why ATLANTA cut him for goodness sake… and we all know they aren’t exactly overflowing with talent.

What is J. Allen getting paid???
As the 16th pick overall and holding out for as long as he did isn’t he overpaid for a bench warmer?
by Dolphriend on Sep 17, 2008 11:35 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
not too much right now...
off the top of my head it was something like 6 years 16 mil… with 6 or 7 upfront… so 3 or 4 of that would brought forward in order to cut him… but otherwise he’s cheap… someone can correct me cause there is a 70% chance my numbers are wrong cause it’s all off the top of my head…

I couldn't find
the exact terms……I lost patience. But it was a 6 year deal with 9 million guaranteed. Not bad W NY for shooting on the fly.

Dan Marino's rookie salary was $150,000
Several months later, the Dolphins signed Marino to a four-year, $2 million deal. Three seasons later, Marino signed a six-year, $9 million deal.

diehard
A diehard Miami Dolphin fan never gets “lost”. If you quit on them, you never were diehard in the first place……IMO
