Hello From RAINY SOUTH FLORIDA.... Well....it was not a real good day to be evalutatng Quarterbacks and Receivers today....as it pretty much rained here all afternoon.
I stopped by practice today for just a little while.....and I saw the Dolphins really work on short yardage passing drills....many screens and short hooks....and skinny posts.
SAM SIMMONS finallly made something of himself today...as he had a nice TD pass catch....literally taking the ball away from JAMAR FLETCHER...who was right there...but lost the battle.
There were many drops out there...from as little as I saw...as once again....it was only JAY and RAY handling the QB duties. I am really beginning to think now....that the Dolphins have decided that both KUSTOK and LEVCIK are not ready to help this team...in any way shape or form this season. Its possible they may be looking to add a veteran QB shortly....within the next week or so..after this first cut.
There was good and bad news today....as we all know that DAVID BOWENS was the bad news with that hand fracture....he will be out until at least opening day.
The good news today I thought....was the trade we made....getting an UNCONDITIONAL 7th rounder for T CORNELL GREEN....who I said last night....for whatever reason...was taking most every snap with the first team defense. I would bet there was definately a scout there last night....from the BUCS front office...who watched GREEN all night. This was very odd to me.....that neither of SPRIGGS or SMITH were working over there in WADE's absence. Hence the word.....SHOWCASING. The bait was GREEN...the Dolphins talked this guy up for sure....even though they darn well knew he was out of the OL picture. I thought by trading GREEN today....and getting a true, pure 7th rounder...was a terrififc and unexpected move. Now...can they do it again?
This weekend....the 7th round showcase showdown features BOB BARKER pointing to the likes of JEFF OGDEN and EARNEST GRANT....the next two items up for bids. We all know that OGDEN is returning kicks this weekend...and he will be playing a whole lot.....probably the same for GRANT on the DL. Once again....scouts will be reporting back to their teams on DOlphin personnel...and who may be available. And hopefully again....the DOlphins will have another 7th rounder...and then maybe even another. My feeling is that if you can pull one off for CORNELL GREEN....then you probably can pull at least another one off...particularly for some veteran help...like GRANT and Ogden.
Someone has to confirm or not....but I have lost track just a bit on the deals that sent CADE Mcknown and JJ JOHNSON out the door to SF and CLEVELAND. Did we not get 7th round CONDITIIONAL or UNCONDITONAL 7th round picks for those guys?
I mean right now.....we need a score card on just how many 7th rounders we have or could have right now..... and it could be even more....in the next week or so.
Stay tuned everyone....the DOlphins Showcase SHowdown in TEXAS....is next...right here on CBS....
