Dolphins 2010 Perspective I - Let's Watch Some Games

I don’t know why people let the negatives boil. We made some great pick-ups and that should be the focus. It all starts with the chemistry of Henne and Marshall. Once Henne figures it out, we will be on our way to being the team to beat… GO DOLPHINS!

Bold statement:
Henne will throw for 200+ yds and 2 TD
R&R will run for 130+ and 2TD
Defense 2 Int, 4+ sacks and 17- pts allowed.

And on monday no one will remember all thise FO moves.

Playing Minnesota will prove what this dolphins are made of.

Of all the things that I see debated between the two sides as to the impending labor unrest the one thing that both sides seem to agree with is that the cap is coming back. Lets all be glad that this FO is not acting like the Jets FO.

Our FO is setting up for next season. We have some big checks to write already with Marshall and Dansby. It appears to me at least that our FO has another big signing or two up their sleeves for the very near future seasons to come. And that is exciting news.

Maybe Parcell’s has effectively done his job and has groomed Ireland fully enabling him to take the team into the future. Many CLS’ers will not agree but many non CLS’ers (who have more backbone than an over cooked noodle) may be very interested and excited about.

Go DOLPHINS!!

but that does not mean I am not concerned that the 2010 version of the O-Line is not an upgrade over the 2009 version – i will hold off on making that judgement until I have at least 3-4 game sample size to analyze.

i think there was a sense in the organization that said “hey we broke the bank on a WR and ILB” – somewhere along the way you can;t just keep adding payroll – uncapped or not – thats reality.

I still would to see one or two of these vets brought back.

still excited about 2010 – i think its an upgrade – just not sure if its AFC East champion type upgrade. THis is a tough division and i don’t count Buffalo out (not as a division winner but a one game spoiler within the division here and there) – they only won 1 less game than MIami last year and in my opinion Spiller and Gailey alone upgrades them.

-Miami isn’t for everyone, obviously not just as a team but as a place to live. I don’t see much in Clark’s comment beyond a simple statement of an obvious fact

That’s officially an obsession, 16 jersey’s I mean! ;)

-Agree with Marino, it will be tough with the Pats always being tough and the Jets basically putting up their “house” as collateral for their roulette wheel bet for 2010.’

-Porter is still “limited” but I’d say it hasn’t anything to do with his hamstring!

-Green will always play second fiddle to Warner…

-Sure they might bring back Grove but cap or not cap……paying $14M in guaranteed money for all of 12 games is bad business. I mean that’s up there with the Raiders paying Hall $8M for 8 games…

I’m not gonna have any “sky is falling” posts until week 6, and thats only if the Dolphins play like they did in preseason.

Also, people were saying we were deep at receiver after getting Marshall, but after trading Camarillo (4th on the depth chart and skipping practice cause of injury) and losing Pat “I don’t know whats going on” Turner, people say we have horrible depth at receiver now. Weird. If Marlon Moore or Roberto Wallace (whichever gets playing time) start dropping crucial passes, then we can all boo hoo hoo about the FO, IMO.

Who will play backup C?

Why are we concerned with JP? Did we resign him?

We have thre OTs, multiple Gs and one C, unless i missed the pickup of another C. (like i just found out Grove was cut.

Also, i think we are pass heavy this season, because we definitely downgraded our interior line and might want to draft a few interior lineman next draft with some high picks.

way too much CLS going on here.

Like how people were up in roar over Cammy….personally I think it was for sentimental reasons. I mean, I liked Cammy, but the #4WR normally shouldn’t warrant that much discussion. The best hands in the league mean nothing if you cant crack the line-up.

I do see the contract dumping trend since there is no penalties for doing so, and I also thought the same thing all off-season…. J-Pissy, Gerbil, Grove, Smiley, Cammy, Grant, Douglas, Butterfingers, Shrimp Patty, Turner, etc etc.

    Logical people can question what their team does or doesn’t do. That’s what makes us FANS. To often people want something to be perfect so they ignore the obvious. There are alot of things that made sense this offseason(Marshall-Dansby-Nolan). These weren’t second Tier FAs(Grove-Wilson). Then there are alot of things that don’t make much sense(O-Line dysfunction/D-Line Depth/OLB Depth). This is a team sport and u cannot blindly look upon some of these moves in the last few days with Aqua Colored Glasses On.
    I’m all for letting things slid for a while. As long as we win. Winning solves everything. Then maybe we will understand that we’ve made a mountain out of a Mole Hill. Relize we have given this front office a pass for 2 yrs. which is more than we gave the last 2 regimes. Kool Aid taste good doesn’t it. Just don’t drink to much of it.
    Relize this a Business. As many of you have brought up about cost saving. You also need to relize that Mr. Ross is a BUSINESSMAN. There is a bottomline coming. Only thing that he is looking for is a return on investment. Winning Solves Everything.

Don’t buy the hype from the media, they’re negative.

Ryan Clark sounds like someone looking for veteran treatment, something he’s not going to get from anyone here. Sounds like Ireland and Tuna have been playing good cop, bad cop.

We’re fine without Grove and I agree that it was more of a cap situation. I’m fine with or without him.

Have everybody y’all need to have. Whoever y’all need to go sign … whatever to do, sign who you need to sign, stack your deck and let’s go play football."

I love this quote

Does anyone else find it wierd that NFL Network has been using Kurt Warner as a special guest analayst, with Trent Green? Do you think Green is worried he’s going to lose his job – again?

Trent better be careful walking around the set, less he ends up concussed again

I’m not buying that…

Injury Report update:

WR Brandon Marshall (ankle) full practice
LT Jake Long (knee) limited
LB Channing Crowder (groin) didn’t practice

GO MIAMI DOLPHINS !!!!!

This is exactly what I was thinking following this series of moves. Why not cut out those contracts which will hinder us from signing the next Karlos Dansby-type free agent prize(s)?

Good post Mosul. I missed the regular post from the “seasonal” bloggers. Lol.

these guys are not making these moves without a real number of reasons. be it cap space someone on waivers or some one younger cheaper. im not worried until we play soem real games.

so it’s ALWAYS about the bottom line…………..

i couldn’t care less about the bottom half of the roster……quite frankly the days of following your team along with it’s players are almost over……..this team is so young i don’t think any of us have had the opportunity to get attached to any players………ronnie and ricky aside…….

let’s play ball………..

Calm down. we are going to be fine. we had a great offseason. getting a Top 3 WR and Top 10 LB. we should have gotten R. Clark but he chose to stay with the steelers. i think our D will be dominant and our offense prolific. we just gotta stay healthy, dont commit penalties and dont drop passes or fumble. i see 11-5 for us.
