I'm going by what CK said... Don't think he has any axe to grind against Ireland to blatantly lie about the details of his contract.

I don't really understand why Marcus Cannon is on the Patriot's list. Yeah he was a 5th round pick but before the Lymphoma wasn't he like a top 5 OL prospect?

Ireland brought us an awesome punter, a very good kicker, a couple of good UDFAs... and a Canadian stud in Cameron Wake
Hey look at our current roster for how many of the players on it were drafted by the Dolphins. For the first time since Shula has left we currently have the most players accuired by the Dolphins including college draft picks , college FA's and Canandian imports ie Cammeron Wake than we have ever had. I keep hearing the clamoring about wanting Irelands head, look at the history of the Dolphins GM's and keep saying be careful what you ask for because we have had a boatload of it before Ireland that looks alot worse. Do I blame Ireland for some of those picks not make it sure, do I blame Sporano for not making the offensive line work sure, do I blame Parcells for hiing Sporano and Ireland and not getting it done sure. I also believe the roster is much better off than it has been for a long time even without Marshall and most of that if because of the players on the current roster many of them home grown.
Still for those of you who wish Ireland to be gone he is going to give you your chance. Ireland was in on hiring Philbin (he was not on Sporano) and Parcells is all gone so the whole game plan is on Irelands shoulders. It has been interesting reading the threads on this years draft (which many of the posters seem to think is improved from prior years) and some of the inferred credit that was given to Philbin instead of Ireland.

As far as the following players IMO all but 1 is still playng for the Dolphins and this years later round draft picks are a little "early" to add the list of busted picks don't you think. The later round picks take time to develop the majority of the time and yes I think some of them can be sucessful with better coaching. If I recall 2 free agents we had here Chris Crocker and Givins (safties) went on to Cinci to play for Croyle and had a pretty good rate of success. When you loose like we have then not many of your players are going to voted much to the Pro Bowl or listed in the top 100 players even if they play very pretty well it is just the way it works. Coaching wins games more than the players. Let's hope we finally have a winnier in Philbin.
