omg.......

no disrespect to Camarillo at all....but we need to draft another WR next year....:unsure:
 
It's from http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/football/miami-dolphins/story/670848.html

Derek Hagan, who could not hold on to two catchable balls in Miami's final exhibition game, confirmed Camarillo has replaced him on the first team in practice.

''They say he's had a better preseason,'' said Hagan, who caught four passes for 40 yards in the preseason. ``It's a great opportunity for him. I do know I will be on the field [a lot].''

Camarillo, who caught six passes for 58 yards in the preseason, said coaches stopped short of telling him that he would start Sunday.

this isn't anymore than what we knew Tuesday.
 
Camarillo has actually been very good in the preseason. He seems to find holes in the defense, and he is probably one of the most if not the most sure handed reciever that we have on this team. Personally I think that he would play better from the slot, but Hagan also will do well from the slot so either way its no a huge difference.
 
I actually like this decision. I don't mind them shaking things up a little to see what happens. Camarillo has been pretty consistent during the preseason, and his route running and hands are waaaayyyyy better than Hagan's. I'm sure with Hagan's height, he'll come in during red zone situations with Wilford but I'm interested to see what Camarillo can do as a possesion receiver with decent speed. He could be a poor man's Welker for us.

Right now we can only work with what we have, but I do agree our WR corp needs some serious upgrading.
 
Though the online depth chart still shows receiver Derek Hagan as a starter, receiver Greg Camarillo has passed Hagan as the Dolphins first-stringer across from Ted Ginn.

i wish we had an up to date depth chart to go by........is it really that hard ?
 
I APPLAUD this decision as it sends a great message to the team.. if you are a vet and dont perform you will be replaced... If you are a backup and you work hard, you can earn a spot. Hagan has been playing on 'potential' far too long. Clearly he has issues of focus and concentration and having someone push him for playing time will help that as well... This is the new Dolphins, nothing is guaranteed.. I love it.
 
From a size and versatility perspective, he's not exactly an apples to apples comparison, but I can see where BP likes the overperforming Camarillo similarly to how much he appreciated and respected "the little engine that could": Dave Meggett (over 3 teams worth). In that respect, IMO Greg's Tuna's "type of player" and will be given every opportunity to succeed.

Vaark....why are both teams wearing their colored jersey's in your recap? Do you know something we don't? :lol:
 
I've been saying this for a while now but I'll say it again. Camarillo breaks out Wes Welker style this year.
 
I like the emphasis is on performance, not talent. Hagan has talent. Hagan was getting mad props on this board. Hagan has had the occasional play, but he hasn't been consistent.

Camarillo earned the job the hard way with few reps. Kudos to him. I'm glad this team doesn't play favorites with the players and are purely focused on putting talent on the field.. (I know I know... Wilford :rolleyes)

hagan needs a serious wake up call. J.Allen needs a serious wake up call. They aren't at a point in their careers where they can afford to be where they are.

As for Ronnie earning his starting spot back.. I still believe ricky will start. If we're basing things on the preseason.
