Around SBN: Odds On Peyton Manning's Next Home Includes Three Teams

Sean Smith and Jason Allen return to team

After initial fears that cornerbacks Sean Smith and Jason Allen might have swine flu, it seems as though they are just fine.

After missing Saturday's game, both Smith and Allen are back working at practice today.  In fact, Omar Kelly is reporting that Smith is back at the starting cornerback spot - the one he has been working at since the second week of camp.  So it turns out that while the Dolphins did indeed inform the team that their teammates may have swine flu, they were indeed just taking precautions for a "worst-case scenario."

I'd imagine Tony Sparano will have more information for us following today's practice - which began at 2 pm.  But the important info to note is that both Sean Smith and Jason Allen are back at practice - with Smith continuing to work with the starting defense.

We can all now breath a sigh of relief.

well I'll admit, Allen had a nice game against the Jags, breaking up a pass and whatnot

Cheers!

Glad to hear we still have our stud rookie CB!! Equally glad to hear Jason is alright. He might not have the same following as Sean but he’s just as much a Miami Dolphin.

about jason

I’ve wanted to post this as a fanshot but u can’t on mobile.
The man was hurt in college, has been through a lot of changes in position & systems. We really don’t know what we have. He steps up when we really need him, he’s not the worst. There is a reason we have been keeping him.
I don’t think he was worth a first but he could be a good decent player one day.. There’s lot more I want to see but my touch screen is actin Favre.

Yeah, yeah

And no Demeco Ryans, Maurice Jones-Drew, Leon Washington, Brandon Marshall, Owen Daniels, Elvis Dumervil, Marques Colston, Braylon Edwards, Demarcus Ware, Shawne Merriman, Roddy White, Justin Tuck, Marion Barber, Brandon Jacobs, Darren Sproles, Trent Cole, and last but not least Matt Cassell. We could have had any of these guys, but you can say that about any draft by any coach.

Glad to hear it

Can’t imagine the sheer panic had it really been swine flu. People are so scared of this thing. Like we suddenly live in the middle ages and the plague is sweeping the world or something.

Anyway, Smith is a stud, we definitely got a steal with him, and I think Jason Allen will step his game up this year (2nd year at the same position in the same system, a first for the kid). I think he’s a better CB than he is a safety because he just has to cover his guy, not read a whole bunch of backfield keys then fly over the top of everything. It’s easier for him, because he just has to use his natural ability. IF he can truly “get it” and come into his own as a CB, we suddenly are VERY deep at that position.

thats a lot of dead people

isn’t it just as bad tho, as a regular flu?
