Great Fins 2003 News
This is a tidbit from a long Sporting News article that I thought you guys wouldnt want to miss. Talks about Nails, Seau, etc....
"LB Junior Seau could cause a change in the team's defensive philosophy because of his ability to blitz. Coordinator Jim Bates does not like to blitz. With Seau, he has the luxury of being more aggressive. … Seau looked quick and strong in minicamps, showing no ill effects from last year's bad ankle. … LG Jamie Nails is close to making a full recovery from Achilles' surgery. Nails, who played a big part in RB Ricky Williams' success last season, must prove he still has burst off the ball, which takes time after that type of surgery, but he kept excessive weight off and is entering a contract year. If he is slowed at all, Seth McKinney could start at left guard. … Some scoffed when LB Eddie Moore was drafted in the second round because there seemed to be more pressing needs than at linebacker. But Moore has a real chance to beat out Morlon Greenwood for the strongside spot. He has picked up the system quickly. … After the club failed to make the playoffs last year despite having the league's leading rusher, Wannstedt decided he needed to open up the offense. Though the Dolphins won't become the Rams, Wannstedt will give coordinator Norv Turner more freedom to get the ball downfield. The plan is for Williams to be dominant in the fourth quarter when the team has a double-digit lead."
