Wonder what the fish fans think of this if it proves to be true?

Sorry, but I was actually listening to the crappiest rap music instead of the Fins pregame....I actually think I deserve praise for that.

That said, Trent Green looked flatout smelly in that first series.

I hate to bring this back to the topic at which the post was intended for, but.... Here is a couple of notes..

Ronnie Brown looked fantastic running - I thought he was doing horrible in camp??

I do not think there was one completed pass on the first Miami drive, numerous dropped passes by a wide array of recievers.

Brodie Croyle, despite the interception was fantastic.

Miami D is hard to judge, without Porter and Taylor they looked average at best.

Trent Green looked good, but without recievers catching the ball it does not mean much.

Finally, no matter which QB goes in at KC, they really need LJ. (Did that really need to be said?)

He cant not give them a chance they are free to make an offer as they so choose, he did quickly sign with Buffalo, but his contract dispute was known for more than just a few days, it was public knowledge he wanted a new deal, Oakland didnt want to give it to him, deserved or not.

No offense, but I wouldn't be holding-up Oakland as some sort of model of how to run a franchise. I know the Bills have missed the playoffs the past 7 years, but they NEVER sunk to the ineptitude of the Raiders last year. I mean, they don't even have their 1st round pick signed yet.

My wife went to grad school at Tosu and I have watched every buckeye game for awhile now. (Hawkeye guy here), but he is totally overated. His hips are stiff and that is why Tressel moved him from corner, cause he couldn't turn his hips. that makes it even worse for a NFL reciever he is a poor route runner with inconsistant hands. The present day Ron Brown. (Former Rams olympic sprinter.)

Who said Ginn was going to be moved to CB? I don't remember that comment. Can someone confirm that? Sounds like more bs from bitter Bills fans.


Game notes:
-If you didn't think Ronnie Brown was any good ever, watch the game. He's a good RB.
-Trent Green looked better today. I didn't see his stats, but his passes were good. It's too bad his WR can't catch a ball. He had two drives. First was a 3 and out with 3 passes all missed by poor WR catching. Then he lead Miami 75 yards where poor blocking from Donald Lee prevented Miami from scoring.
-Donald Lee needs to get better hands on top of being a better blocker. I don't know what Miami is going to do about the TE position.
-OLine is already improving. Rex Hadnot was completely manhandling whoever he's going up against. Samson Satele and Vernon Carey look good (Satele is really looking like another Nick Mangold). I'm worried about LG. Alabi might need more work. This O-line isn't as bad as I thought it was.
-Defense looks fine without Taylor, Thomas, Goodman and Porter. Pretty good Defense if you ask me.
-Cleo Lemon deserves a look, but sadly, we can't give him it.

Kenny Iwebema and Bryan Mattison are prolly both higher ceiling prospects at this point.

Young has never regained his burst after mulitple knee injuries. Klink is no Greenway or Hodge. Maybe 4th round or higher but no better than that.

One sleeper I will add is Charles Godfrey. He ran a 4.33 40 at the junior pro day at Iowa last year and he is a super talent. If he can play even mediocre he can be a 2nd round pick with that speed and that coaching rep.

I was not paying 100% attention to the pregame, but I overheard one of the guys in the studio ask another guy in the studio "do you think Ted Ginn will be a playmaker at wide receiver?" and the response was "no, because I talked to the coach, and they are moving him at CB." Hence why I was asking if anyone else heard that...

Not a bitter Bills fan... that's what the guy said. If I was a bitter Bills fan I'd say something like "nice of Jason Taylor and his brother-in-law Tommy Boy to suit up for the game and play some defense... real hard workers who are setting an example about work ethic and leadership".

Not a bitter Bills fan... that's what the guy said. If I was a bitter Bills fan I'd say something like "nice of Jason Taylor and his brother-in-law Tommy Boy to suit up for the game and play some defense... real hard workers who are setting an example about work ethic and leadership".

Why would that comment make you bitter? Saying something bad about Fletch or McGahee would make others believe you're bitter, because they no longer are a part of the team. Saying something negative about a rival team just makes you a rival football fan.

ginn did play corner his freshman year and was a recruit at that position. They never figured out where he is best, kinda like hester in miami.

Do u guys not do the college ball thing???

Bling made a comment about Ginn moving to CB as being an unsubstantiated bitter comment from a Bills fan...

Yep. He still thinks he's in college. Instead of going head on, he tries the old circle trick. It's still preseason. He has two more games to figure out that you can't get away with that.Yeah, let's run head-on into the 3-4 guys who weren't blocked instead of trying to escape. The special teams blocking has been terrible. I don't care who is trying to return the kicks. Rookie or vet, with blocking like that....they will all go nowhere! I know folks want to bash Ginn because he was our #1 pick but come on folks.....look at the entire picture. Bad blocking combined with getting used to the NFL. He will get better. As you Bills fans are so fond of saying..."It's just preseason and means nothing"

Sorry I thought the Fins were one spot worse than 9th overall.

Big 11 is correct. As they have 11 teams with the addition of Penn State.What is the name of the conference??? That's what I thought:shakeno:

you sir are correct!



Also, FIVE pages so far for a thread dedicated to a pre-season Dolphins game. Thanks for the attention people, it's appreciated, you guys sure love to hate us. I'm glad I'm a member here to observe such an obsession j/k.

Exactly, it's not so much Ginn as it is that they aren't blocking. The blocking looks bad. Welker use to get better blocking.

I was not paying 100% attention to the pregame, but I overheard one of the guys in the studio ask another guy in the studio "do you think Ted Ginn will be a playmaker at wide receiver?" and the response was "no, because I talked to the coach, and they are moving him at CB." Hence why I was asking if anyone else heard that...

Not a bitter Bills fan... that's what the guy said. If I was a bitter Bills fan I'd say something like "nice of Jason Taylor and his brother-in-law Tommy Boy to suit up for the game and play some defense... real hard workers who are setting an example about work ethic and leadership".

JonI think there were actually rumors pre-draft that some teams were looking at him as a corner. That being said there has been ZERO talk from the Miami media of our staff suggesting we are doing that with him. All his practices have been as a WR KR/PR.

Probably just ESPN's talking heads blowing hot air.

I told you way before the preseason that Ginn was going to be a bad pick

I still disagree sir. I watched him as a Buckeye and know what he has to offer. He will only get better IMO

Cant get much worse, I too saw him at Ohio State exploit poor teams lack of speed by beating them deep, I wasnt at all impressed.

Well that was what , three times he touched the ball, Lynch got 3 yards on 2 touches against the Saints. It's not an endorsement for Ginn or a knock on Lynch, but it's only pre-season and limited touches most of the time result in limited production. I'm not gonna worry about Lynch if he has another showing like last week cause he's young and feeling his way as a young NFL hopeful, it's just pre-season nothing can really be made one way or the other from these games.

I dont care about his preseason play, Lt and I have been down this road before about Ted Ginn back from when I didnt even put Ginn in my top ten receivers rankings for the 07 draft. Preseason means little.

Ginn does have the speed that's for sure, but he has a lot to prove as a WR. I think Lynch is far better set to succed then Ginn. Not because of their positions as much as it is their size, Ginn will have to overcome a lot to be even slightly successful, Lynch can be considered a success even if he turns out numbers like Bush last year. I think Lynch will have better receiving numbers then Ginn.

I have questions about Lynch too, he needs to show up in big games, I was disappointed in his production last year.
