Great article with many, many nuggets.

Halfway through the season, NFL people are buzzing about the Dolphins.

CBS' Phil Simms was struck when two opposing coaches, before games not involving Miami, offered unsolicited praise of offensive coordinator Dan Henning. ''What Henning is doing -- are you kidding me?'' Simms said off air. ``The variables they're using on offense are very, very good. The Friday Dolphins practice I attended this season ranks in the top three I've ever seen.''


''It's surprising -- you just don't see this happen this quickly,'' NBC's Cris Collinsworth said off-air of a turnaround from 1-15. ``They've settled their offensive line issues, quarterback issues, head coach and general manager issues. [Ted Ginn Jr.] is making plays, their defense looks better. It feels amazingly settled. You're thinking playoffs and that's remarkable.''

Packers/Falcons executive Ken Herock loves how coaches have developed players, including Greg Camarillo -- ''He does everything Wes Welker does''

Smart football, especially from Chad Pennington: Jimmy Johnson, who ''really likes the way they are playing,'' asserts, "The key to winning in the NFL is, it's not who makes the most great plays, it's who makes the fewest bad plays. When you have a QB that doesn't make mistakes, it makes it a lot easier.
 
nice to get some recognition. on top of that, Gil Brandt put Jake Long, Donald Thomas and Dan Carpenter on his All-Rookie Team.
 
I hope we continue this trend of playing solid football. Sure is night and day difference from last year.
 
My favorite part of the article:

If Idont see you on the fieldin two days we're going a different direction... Damn I'm starting to really like Sporano...
 
There's a reason why this is happening...Sparano took the team by the b@11s and basically said..You either perform or you gone.

Finally! A coach that knows what he is doing!

" Miami has had fewer injuries than many teams, and Porter told a Dolphins Touchdown Club audience Tuesday that ''guys are scared to get hurt. . . . Every Tuesday, somebody gets cut.'' Porter said Sparano has told some injured players, ``If I don't see you out there in two days, we're going in a different direction.'' "

I agree, but if this were true, then why is Donald Thomas still here? I think that people are putting too much stock in this. Joey was just saying that everyone is trying their hardest to stay healthy, because their scared of what might happen. I really don't think that if you are performing that and you get hurt, your gonna get cut.

I agree. If they do get hurt though, I'm sure they are trying harder to get back into things.

Obviously, Donald Thomas is an exception. It was a season ending injury, no chance of coming back.

Those injuries to Ferguson and W. Allen sure went away quickly though....;)
