| Ricky might be ready, but Ronnie is not. Seems his leg is not 100%. He will not play this week because of " a thumb " Since when dose a "thumb" keep a running back out of a game? The Miami Herald is saying his might never be the same, it is speculation on their part, but I know he is not the same as of right now. Ricky is good but he is not the future of the dolphins, Ronnie was suppose to be, Not enough seen from Cobbs yet to know about him, but if Ronnie is done we need to look for a new RB. To me a top RB is more important than a QB. look at all the years we had Marino, and no RB the whole time and no Super Bowls either. You know why Marino had every passing record? Because he had to. It was the only way the Dolphins could score.

| Well the QBs looked ok against the Jags, Noodle Arm did well, and The Rookie was very impressive. Ricky is ready, lets hope he can stay that way. my Biggest surprise was the Defense they are really shaping up well, still think the secondary needs some work, but we are stopping the run again.

| Allen needs to worry about protecting his cornerback position. Hopefully David Kircus will be the next Wes Welker for the Phins. He looked good last weekend and showed the same enthusiasm.

Thursday, August 14, 2008
DAVIE — As training camp fights go, coach Tony Sparano said, he has been around more memorable ones than the fisticuffs this morning between cornerback Will Allen and wide receiver David Kircus.
"A receiver and DB fighting, I don't think that's much of a fight sometimes," joked Sparano, a former offensive lineman.
But it didn't take long for the Allen-Kircus tussle to end up with much of the team in a scrum.
A minute later, cooler heads prevailed and the team resumed practicing.
Speaking to the media after practice, Sparano said he wasn't sure how the scrap began.
"Things happened so fast out that I didn't really see how the play went," he said.
Following an incomplete pass, Kircus fell to the ground and Allen suddenly was on top of him, throwing punches. Kircus didn't retaliate, and when Allen stopped swinging and walked off, an unidentified offensive player jumped on him, leading to a team-wide skirmish.
One observer said the spark could have come when Kircus laid a hard block on Allen two plays earlier. Sparano didn't care.
"It's not smart," Sparano said. "It's not something I condone at all out here. I mean, stuff happens, we've been out 16, 17, I don't know how many days now. But that's our second fight we've had ...
"Bottom line, we're trying to teach discipline in games and that can cost you a player in a game in a critical situation. You don't want that. It's not what we're trying to do."
Sparano said he spoke with Allen and Kircus on the field and "they're fine right now." Sparano knows from personal experience that's not always the case for everyone involved in a training-camp scuffle.
The coach recalled trying to stop a fight during his first season as an NFL assistant in Cleveland. The details are a little fuzzy because Sparano caught an inadvertent right hand to the face from 6-foot-7, 360-pound Orlando Brown.
"I didn't know any better, I thought it was college," Sparano said. "I kind of dove in the middle of it. The next thing you know I came out of there like I was shot out of a cannon."
Sparano, who coached the Browns' offensive line, said tight ends coach Ray Perkins, a former NFL head coach, looked at Sparano and said, "Well son, did you learn something?"
Sparano said he wouldn't have known if he did.
"I don't remember," he said. "I got hit in the face."

| Feeley the kicker released. After one preseason game their going with the un-drafted rookie for a kicker? He did good in the game but Feeley was no slouch. Maybe he hits more at practice, I know he would cost less. Money they need to save if they plan on keeping 4 QBs on the roster. What team keeps 4 QBs for the season? Like I have said before this whole season is going to be one long Preseason.

| Defense will be fine.. Ricky had a fire and it will continue. He may have a few more years than the the others, but he isn't as banged up.... Not predicting playoffs, but I'll put my money up against anybody only predicting 2 wins this season..... Show me a figure! I like gambling... Last edited on Mon Aug 11th, 2008 11:44 pm by Cuckoo

| Defence is still a big question for me. Hard to tell from the first preseaon game, but except for that one long drive at the end of the half not too bad.

Well after seeing the first Pre-season game. The young QBs didn't look as bad as I exspected. Not great, but not as bad. The first unit O-Line did ok, and Ricky looked real good, as did Ronnie. I liked the rookie kicker too.
With our easy schedual this season I'm still hopeful for 6 wins.

Well from trainning camp reports the Dolphins QBs are bad, but I agree Pennington should not be playing any where. He is accurate but no down field threat at all. I do not think his arm can last a season with out injury.
Dolphins game plan for every game will be. RUN,,,RUN,,SHORT PASS,, PUNT.

OMG! The Tuna has gone and gotten Alzheimer's. WTF is he doing signing Chad
(My arm strength is that of a 7 year old) Pennington. Don't you THINK for even
a second, that the Jets would have kept him if they thought he was good ?
Or, are the Dolphins QB'S that horrible that we have to sign noodle arm Chad
to an 11.5 million dollar deal? The Phins need to SAVE ALL the MONEY they can
and get Stafford when he comes out of UGA> I'm gonna send my son down
to training camp, hell he's only 13. but his arm's stronger than penningtons!
What a joke this is. If you don't believe me, look at his stats the last 2 years.
Might as well have signed Daunte ( I cannot read pass coverages) Culpepper
probably could have got him for the league minimum for vets.

Brett is a Jet.
Miami in my opinion blew it here. They should have went after him. Miami's QBs are not looking good so far. Reports from camp are not favorable. None are the QB of the future we need. While Farve would not have been a long term answer. He would at least have given us a fighting chance for a winning season this year, and been a good influence on our young QBs.

I can see they might pull out 6.
Buffalo (1 of the games)
Arizona
Denver
San Fran.
KC
Oakland
These I think are the only games they have a shot at winning. Not saying they will win just a shot.

Beck needs the chance with a running game and an offesive line to be able to complete a pass. He seems to have his head on his shoulders, but needs the protection and the run which he had neither of last year.... Just my 2 pennies...

Ahhh.... I see. Now it looks like it might be purple and gold for Farve.
J.T. is a RedSkin. For a 2nd rounder in 2009 and a 6th in 2010. Guess the Dolphins are totaly rebuilding. We had a No Name Defence once, and we Now have a No Name Defence, and a No Name Offence, Can't count Williams, who knows how long he will play.

I am a lifelong Packer fan and I do not like the Dolphins - I would hate to see Favre end his career on a lowpoint in Miami.Last edited on Fri Jul 18th, 2008 05:55 pm by okeegator

| Yeah they will but Parcells is not the coach (yeah right). I still think it will be good for the team, and the young QBs, if nothing else ticket sales would go up. Can't be any worse than brining Culpepper down here, and taking him over Breeze. Actually I can't think of a thing Saben did right except leave, and he didn't really even do that right.

As you pointed out, Farve and Parcells will clash
I was Stationed in Wisconsin when the Title went back to "Titletown" The next year Coach Holmgren and Brett clashed plenty, however that team is owned by the Community (and the town LOVED Brett) so guess who took "Alpha Dog" position

He's the last person you need on the team, his ego is so large it has it's own gravitational field

| Well so far the word from trainning camp looks promissing. The Lines on both sides are shaping up. Ricky is in top form running like he will break 1000 alone. The recivers are the big surprise they are looking good according to reports from the Miami Herald. The big question is still the QB. Who it will be, and how effective. As long as he can hand the ball to Ricky or Ronnie, I don't think it matters wich of them it is. Miami will be a running team this year. Hey Miami went undefeated as a run based team,(Greesy and Warfield were nothing without Czonka, and Morris) but we had the No Name Defence then too.

The phin's did address the need for lineman thru FA. Not big time names who wanted big
time contracts mind you, but, overall, they took quanity over quality. I agree, to a point,
where the phins might not get a 1st rounder for J.T. But, it's a long way till the season still
and a team in a viable position to win it all, might give it up for him. IMHO, John Beck
isn't the answer for the franchise QB of the future. Next draft, Matt Stafford of UGA, with
a John Elway type cannon, would make me wanna shout!

| We will never get a first round for J.T. he is too old. Still great, but no one will give us a first round for him, or he would be traded already, and he says this is his last year in football so we can just hope he has a Probowl year for the Fins this year. True the line on both sides of the ball make the team, but I still feel our QB position is weak, and needed to be addressed, we could have used free agency to try and help out the O-line. But who knows Beck might get better with time and experience I hope so. If not we might have a smash mouth running offense with Ricky, and Ronnie that might open up some not too risky passes. I also agree it would be nice to see our QB standing up instead of on their back.

4-string, 2-strings, 6 bits a dollar.....wait, I'm getting carried far, far, away. What
I wanna enlighten you about is, are you ready..... Football games are WON on the O-Line &
D-line. That's why Joe Thomas was picked so high last year. I, personally thought
picking Jake Long was the right choice. Either him or Chris Long, it really didn't matter.
The Phins needed help everywhere and not one top pick in the draft is going to change
anything right away. That being said, Jake Long will be the Phins left tackle for the
next 10 years at least, providing he stays healthy. Hopefully, we can trade J.T., get a
#1 for him, and possibly have 2 picks in the first round next year, with one being a
QB for the future years. ( Wouldn't Matt Stafford look nice in a phins uni?)

Steelers fan here...Pittsburgh born.
4string makes a great point that I'm sure gets to everyone here at some time or another.
People who support a team because its popular.
Its amazing how many fans a team suddenly gets when they're a game away from the Super Bowl.
Pick a side people.

Good or Bad I watched every game last year and will continue to watch. The fair weather fans are the worst kind, and any one who was born and raised in Florida I have no problem with warring a Jag's or Buc's shirt, but a Dallas shirt, or one of who ever won the last Super Bowl, because thats what is popular, well they discust me

I'm a Dolphins Fan, through thick and thin (mostly thin recently), but a stick with it Fan.
It started for me in 1972, I was 9 just old enough to really start understanding the sport, and my oldest brother was a fan, and allowed me to watch the games with him. Wich was unusual because he usually would lock himself in a room alone to watch the game. So here I am 9 years old and the team I have chosen to be mine never looses all season long "The Perfect Season" . I was hooked.
Many seasons went by most good ones. The loss to the 49ers in the 84 Superbowl was hard to take, especially since I was in the Navy in San Francisco at the time, and was running my mouth alittle before hand. But it was all made up for the next year when the 85 Bears met the Dolphins. The Bears were undefeated, and every one thought they would go all the way. As I told every one then there is only 1 perfect team, and thats the 72 Dolphins. Here the Bears were comming into the Orange Bowl, on a Monday Night, and trying to take that away from the Dolphins. No way possible. I made so much money off my shipmates from that game.
Now today things are very different. We as Dol-Fans have never seen times like this. It has been a downward spiral since Coach Shula has retired. Some other teams have bounced back, the Cowboys for one. They have gone from top to bottom to top again. But they have a very dedicated owner. I don't belive the Dolphins do. We have no iconic players with Zack Thomas leaving, and Jason Taylor's future in question. Ronnie Brown maybe a hope, but yet to be seen.
I want to hear your thoughts on where you thing the team is going, and some of your memories from past great events. I hope things turn around for the Dolphins, but no matter what I'll always be a devoted Fin-Fan.
