Player rankings going into our bye week.

What I am doing is ranking each player for the Dolphins on what they have accomplished this season. This is not based on thier potential or paycheck, just performance. So discuss and let me know what you think.

1) Ronnie Brown - The most important part of our team. Without Ronnie the Wildcat doesn't work.

2) Jake Long - The cornerstone of our offensive line for years to come. Great run blocker.

3) Justin Smiley - The best pulling guard in the league.

4) Vernon Carey - One of the best RT in the league. Just look at our run game.

5) Chad Henne - Franchise QB or not Henne is still vital to our success and his performance so far is fantastic.

6) Jason Ferguson - Without Fergy we don't stop the run. Period.

7) Ricky Williams - Probably the best #2 RB in the NFL.

8) Joey Porter - No pressure no INTS. He does need to step up this year though.

9) Jake Grove - Look at the difference from last year running up the middle. Grove is our man-beast.

10) Donald Thomas - A young guard with some great game already. Potential to be a great guard.

11) Channing Crowder - Can tackle like a machine. We all want to see the big play, but he does get the job done.

12) Will Allen - Has been picked on profusely, but still can lock down if the refs call the game fair.

13) Kendall Langford - A jewel in the 3rd round. Can stop the run and rush the passer. Amazing.

14) Lousaka Polite - A monster of a blocker and impossible to stop on anything less than 2yds.

15) Davone Bess - The best catching receiver we have is the man on 3rd down.

16) Anthony Fasano - Struggled early, but starting to pick up where he left off last year.

17) Sean Smith - Rookie corner, but already teams aren't throwing his way...Just wait till he has some experience.

18) Jason Taylor - Smart veteran with gas in the tank. Just needs to show up more often.

19) Cameron Wake - “NFL rookie” gets 3 sacks his first game and then gets benched? Could be force with more PT.

20) Randy Starks - Whether he or Merling starts these two RE are young and talented.

21) Phillip Merling - A gamer who disappears in practice, but comes alive in the game.

22) Greg Camarillo - Not quite back to form from last year, but still great at catching with his butt...

23) Ted Ginn - Awesome potential, but haven't seen much yet. Maybe some Henne is the right prescription.

24) Yeremiah Bell - Still hard hitting safety, but wondering if Gibril is not only hurting himself, but also YB.

25) Akin Ayodele - Good tackler, but needs to be upgraded by another play making ILB.

26) Vontae Davis - Over aggressive CB who should settle down soon and be a solid #2 or 3 CB.

27) Brian Hartline - Shows flashes, but needs to stay consistent. Drops passes too much.

28) Gibril Wilson - The lowest starter on this list. Not so impressive needs to learn to ball-hawk.

29) Patrick Cobbs - Lost for the year was a great #3 RB with ok returning skills.

30) Nate Jones - Our nickel doesn't make glaring mistakes, but he won't ever be more than a nickel.

31) Tony McDaniel - Doesn't seem to do much during games, but has some impressive measurables.

32) Joey Haynos - Needs to step up as our 2nd TE. Great height.

33) Tyrone Culver - Maybe our 2nd best safety overall.

34) Paul Soliai - Gets pressure, but does he give it all on every play is the question?

35) Lex Hilliard - Now our #3 RB and a special teams ace. That works for me.

36) Pat White - Gave me a heart attack Monday night, but didn't turn the ball over so its all good.

37) Shawn Murphey - Our best reserve lineman? We need to see more, but I like the idea.

38) Nate Garner - Can T or G gives us flexibility.

39) Reggie Torbor - Said to have improved this year, but I haven't been convinced.

40) Erik Walden - Great on special teams, but will he ever be a linebacker?

41) Andrew Gardner - Rookie who will probably take a few years, but can be a great backup tackle.

42) Jason Allen - First rounder who has never developed. Maybe his last year in Miami.

43) Lionel Dotson - Coaches love him, but he is never active?

44) Charlie Anderson - Losing reps to Wake, but thats understandable Wake is a beast. Oh yeah quit holding!

45) Quentin Moses - Without Roth, Moses is probably our 2nd best SOLB, but he was inactive last week.

46) John Nalbone - Not showing anything at all, but is a rookie so has time to develop.

47) Joe Berger - Parcells seems high on Berger, but I have my doubts. Not seeing any PT so don't know for sure.

48) Chris Clemons - I love this guy, but that is with training camp love, what can he do for real?

49) Patrick Turner - What happened to the Turner we had in training camp? Hasn't played a down yet.

50) Tyler Thigpen - Official clipboard holder for the clipboard holder. He will do in a pinch.
