Dolphins officials know the team needs to upgrade at receiver, but Ross is the only one willing to say it publicly. When asked if he agrees the team needs a big-play receiver and more explosive passing game, Ross said, ``It's obvious.''
But is he convinced Parcells and Ireland will upgrade at receiver, even though they have been reluctant to trade draft picks to acquire one?
``Look -- Bill calls the shots,'' Ross said. ``I'm not going to tell him who to pick. It's obvious to everybody what our needs are. There's no question, to get an explosive receiver would be great. And I just hope some of our receivers catch those passes that have been dropped. We would have a totally different record'' if they had.
Why was Joey Porter inactive Sunday? CBS said it was because he was seen out Friday night, and the Dolphins thought he should have been resting. NFL Network said he was excused to go home early one day last week, because he was not feeling well, but instead went elsewhere. The Dolphins want no more lapses in professionalism from a player who is on pace for 24 tackles, which would amount to $200,000 per tackle.
