• The Dolphins' trade for Kansas City's Tyler Thigpen -- who will back up Chad Henne -- drew positive reaction from evaluators. ``Heck of a move,'' said ex-Browns scout Matt Williamson of ESPN's Scouts Inc. ``He can ignite your team off the bench, make plays with his feet. The arrow is going up. Adequate arm, not great.'' Thigpen led all NFL quarterbacks in rushing yards in 2008 (386, 6.2 average) but was 27th among starters in QB rating (76.0) and 30th in completion percentage (54.8).

Former Raiders personnel executive Mike Lombardi of Showtime said Thigpen is a ``really good backup'' but added it's a concern that he usually has been in the shotgun, because he must prove he can play well under center.

• Linebacker Matt Roth (groin) said he isn't sure if he will be ready to play when he's eligible to come off the physically-unable-to-perform list after the Dolphins' fifth game.

You know what.... this Roth think is really pi$$ing me off. Maybe he should have got surgery if the groin was so bad. This entire situation is just too weird for me. Its like we are missing something.

Sore groin, bad contract and FA next year- bad combo. Maybe the logic is that it's better to sit out and go for a better contract next year than to play hurt and underperform, hurting his chances for a big contract in the off season. Or maybe he's just too hurt to play and gun shy because of his history of groin injuries. Who knows.

Yip, there is definately more to it than the groin. The contract issue is in play here whether it is Miami re-upping or him being out there on the open market. He did have a pretty good year last year. I think the entire situation is BS.
 
Didn't he have surgery in the off-season for the groin already?
