I have hopes for Patrick Turner.
Ginn got three years and counting to prove bust or no bust.
I can also see how if you have a rookie QB, you want to have him throw to vets like Bess and Camarillo who can help a rookie out. Hartline gets involved because he’s a great special teamer. Since our TEs aren’t doing much, why not make Haynos inactive, use Nate Garner as a TE/OT eligible (not just on the goal-line) and activate Turner.

Something odd that everyone has probably already noticed:
Wolverine Chad Henne throwing to Trojan Patrick Turner and
Trojan Mark Sanchez now throwing to Wolverine Braylon Edwards.

But we are not stupid. He has been clearly having some trouble either on practice or with his attitude. There is a reason he was at one point of the preseason taking snaps as the 5th receiver or something ridiculous like that. There was/is clearly something the coaching staff is not liking.
Now, you are telling me that “he could’ve easily dressed up for the last 4 games” yet they decided to keep him of the active roster while we clearly had no receiving threat on the Red Zone? We clearly needed the guy but he just wasn’t ready.
So cmon, one thing is that he is progressing on his development and that he will be ready to go at one point ,I actually believe he will be a good possession receiver in the NFL, but to pretend that all this time he has been excellent and what not is laughable.

Playoffs? Playoffs? Don’t talk to me about Pla.. Playoffs?

And hey, Sparano said those things about Turner, not me, so try not to kill the messenger. I just thought it’d be nice to get an update on him. I want to see him on the field and find out if we need to go wideout shopping (I am leaning towards “yes”).

And speaking of Wolverines throwing to Trojans, has anyone noticed that we draft A LOT of Big Ten players? Some have worked out thus far (Long, Davis, Hartline), some are still in question (Ginn) and some really f’n sucked (Jamar Fletcher).

I think we should get Turner in there to see what he brings to the table but if he dont pan out we need to get a proven physical wide out we cannot take a chance with getting one by fa’s(Wilford) or in the draft we have pretty bad luck with drafting wideouts to begin with and letting good one’s slip(well it is a 50/50 chance we just seem to not have the luck)a guy like Bowe would fit fine and it will make Ginn better as well

if we get either of them I will offically be only a ROnnie Brown Fan and not a dolphins fan.

Nicks was the WR to draft in 09.

he looks great.

I am not sure how Dez Bryant’s ineligibility will affect his decision to come out, but Benn is the real deal. Plus we can’t break our streak of drafting Big Ten players in the first round (three and counting…).
