http://www.realfootball365.com/nfl/articles/2007/05/dolphins-camerons-plan150507.html Nobody is saying Martin is the next Gates, but he fits that mold and will likely be utilized in the same manner.

And what about the other guys? Ginn and Booker are both shifty speedsters capable of scoring every time they touch the ball. Ironically enough, this is exactly the type of playmaking ability the fan base has been clamoring for since the last millennium, but now that they've gotten a double dose all they've done is complain, for the most part.

They bickered that Ginn -- an ex-Ohio State WR -- is unproven and unworthy of the No. 9 overall pick despite the fact that the guy most of them wanted, Brady Quinn, is also unproven and slipped from a perceived top-five selection to the 22nd choice overall.

They groused about Booker because they assumed that Ricky Williams would be back in the Dolphins' backfield come September, nullifying the need for a backup to Ronnie Brown. Now, in light of the recent revelations regarding South Florida's most famous pot smoker, Cameron's selection of Booker has been vindicated.

Both of these guys will likely get full vindication if and when they break off an electrifying touchdown jaunt -- something both were known for during their college careers.

Satele and Mauia fit into the "build from the inside out" mentality that Cameron shared during his first official press conference. Clearly, he is convinced that power and outright aggression are key building blocks for offensive success, because both of these guys are big and mean.

Beck is the only guy in this group who doesn't quite fit the mold in that he's not young, not especially fast, and not overly powerful. But he's a smart quarterback who reminds many of another passer whom Cameron worked with in the past, Drew Brees
 
How come booker did not run away with the game every time he touched the ball last year ?.I am sure he had more than 0 touches.
 
I'm very happy with the addition of Booker and Ginn Jr. They both bring speed that we have lacked for years. I am not sold on Beck yet and I really don't know much about the lineman that we took. I just know that they have to be an upgrade some how, even if it is just to provide the mucj needed depth on the line.
 
It was time for many of the changes that have been made under Mueller / Cameron, and it's a solid plan in my opinion. It may take some time before it all pays off / materializes for us, but I think we're certainly headed in the right direction....

PHINZ RULE!!!!
 
I disagree that Beck doesn't fit the mold Cam is looking for. Cam isn't looking for his qb to be the speedy shifter a la Mike Vick. Cam has always liked qbs with high degrees of accuracy who work the medium to short length passes and are more of a field general. The play makers at rb te and wr are where we should have our speed and elusiveness. Basically find guys who can make plays then get a guy who can get them the ball with a high degree of accuracy.
 
I can't wait to see Cam's plan in action!
I think he has done a great job so far and I have a great feeling that he will turn the Phins into a playoff team in a very short time.
 
Heck I'm all giddy waiting for the next camp to start so I can watch some more vids - (any home vids from practices posted on you tube?)

I'm more than happy to drink the kool-aid, lets see what these guys can do on the field

Perhaps the most "idiotic" line I have ever read...both players will likely get full vindication "if and when" they break off an electrifying touchdown jaunt. Just what this team needs "an" electrifying touchdown instead of players that lead our team down the field on a consistent basis and put points on the board. But who cares, as long as they contribute to a play that can be put on the team's highlight real at the end of the season.

Having quick strike ability can sometimes separate good teams from average teams. Going 15 plays and grinding it out every series is very hard to do. Invariably there's a mistake or penalty or someone on the defense steps up and makes a great play. So having guys capable of the big strike can give you 7-10 cheap points per game which can be the difference between 6-10 and 10-6.
 
I'll say this for Cam and Randy.....it took huge kahones to pass on Quinn.

I believe it will make them on the hot seat real quick if Ginn doesn't produce, and/or Quinn shows he is the real thing.

Man, I wanted Quinn so bad....that is until I watched video of Ginn. He will help us out right away vs. Quinn helping us out two years from now. Now we have Beck to groom for the two years and it's like having Ginn as an extra bonus.
 
The Season can't start soon enough! I'm tired of all the guessing games!
 
Quinn is not a starting NFL QB. No one will realize that here until 2 years from now, and forget all about their ridiculous lust for him when they are called out on it at that time.
