Ask Mike: What is wrong with Channing Crowder?

[FinAtic8480]

Tony Sparano has been extremely sparing with details on Crowder’s situation. When I asked him last week if Channing could have played against Jacksonville had that been a regular-season game, he paused and said he didn’t know. Of course, Channing still hasn’t returned to practice and Sunday he wasn’t even in the bubble during workouts. When asked Sunday if he had any concern Channing might not be ready for Buffalo on Sept. 12, Sparano said, “I don’t know right now.” Asked if he was preparing for that possibility, he said, “Not at this particular second, no.”

Of course, the ultra-prepared Dolphins are preparing for that possibility. That’s why outside linebacker Charlie Anderson got so many snaps at inside linebacker against the Falcons and worked there again on Sunday. That’s why it’s so vital Tim Dobbins keeps that balky ankle healthy and why Micah Johnson’s 56-play showing (including 39 on defense) was such an eye-opener against the Falcons.

Remember, Channing has only played one quarter this preseason and appears questionable at best for Thursday’s game at Dallas. Is that any way to enter a new season coming off foot surgery?

Luckily they traded for Tim Dobbins. You hate to see him end up with reps this way, but it wasn't unexpected either.
