We've just been talking about this recently and Spano kind of hinted that wilford still needs to make the roster..

Sparano said Derek Hagan and Ted Ginn Jr. have separated themselves as the Dolphins starters, then there's everyone else. He named all the receivers, and it shouldn't surprise you that Ernest Wilford was the last one mentioned.

Sparano said Wilford will play a lot Thursday because the team needs to evaluate him.

Funny that Beck and McClown has had 500 throws a piece and he knows their value, but Wilford who's had a got of opportunities because of those throws and Henne and CP, still needs evaluating..

When asked to assess his receivers on the bubble, as usual Sparano said he's been feeling Davone Bess, he singled out Greg Camarillo for making some good plays against the Chiefs, and said Jayson Foster has been "driving us crazy catching balls" during practice.

"He's quicker than he is fast," Sparano said.

Typically the last game, the starters play 1 series, if that and the rest is evaluation for the tough desicions that need to be made, so this doesn't suprise me.
 
Here's hoping to an awful game from Wilford, i'd rather see Anderson and Camarillo make the team than him.
 
If Wilford continues to play the way he's been playing (dropping a lot of passes), I don't see how they can keep him on the team. I haven't really focused on him during the preseason games, so I don't know how he does regarding getting separation and getting open, but I think it's a moot point if he can't even catch the darn ball.

As Sparano said before - you can pay anyone to drop the ball.
 
Wilford is playing for his job on Thursday night. Honestly, I think Wilford continues the same sub-standard, and crappy play he's displayed up to this point. Wilford is gone.
 
where are all the Wilford lovers now? just a few months ago people were loving this guy in Miami. lol the only reason why hell play a lot thursday is because the starters wont.
 
i like to see how much balls the front office really have. if Wilford isnt good enough, they should cut him, but will they with all that money left on the table? cut him and admit you were 100% wrong just months later? not to many people in football can do that, we'll see if this front office can if wilford continues this horrible play.

That's why i don't expect him to be cut. I mean i guess i thought it was a possibility when i had heard/seen how much he has struggled, but at the same time it's hard for me to believe that the FO could do a complete 180 on a guy they only signed a few months ago. Expecting him to be a number 1 or 2 and then just months later cutting him.

thats b/c they know beck and mccown aren't the future. whats so hard to understand about what he meant by he knows their value? why would he play em more if he knows he has no spot on this team but wilford still has a chance cuz u dont play 1 or 2 WR liek a QB situation. especially with a henne in the waiting line.
 
I hope Wilford catches 2 TD's and has 100+ yards.

That way, maybe we can trade him a pick!

Bill says.....

[SIZE=-1]Every coach comes to a point and looks at a veteran player ... Where is he in this world? Where are we going to be six months from now? Where will we be one year from now? If the veteran player is definitely superior and gives you a better chance to win, that's when the real conflict comes. If you think a month from now or six weeks from now or eight weeks from now this young player is going to be better than the veteran, then you have to bite the bullet.[/SIZE]

lmao at "Wilford lovers", that's funny to me.

I think he's done, a WR who can't catch or separate? We can have Hagan do that for us.
(J/k.....I think Hagan finally balls this year).

So if Wilford gets 100+ yards vs. 2nd and 3rd stringers in the last pre-season game he's a keeper? Ok, if you say so.

Ernest = Derrious Thompson. 2008.
 
Cant catch anything thrown his way, cant get seperation, almost 30 years old, and isnt the red zone threat we thouhgt he was going to be. He's gone.

The only question is, who takes his spot? We know hagan and Ginn are locks. Camarillo has a great chance to play and so does bess. Do we let foster be our 5th receiver? armstrong? waiver wire pickup?
