A Dolphins teammate, linebacker Erik Walden, told him that ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. had dismissed the team's receiving corps, which hasn't changed since 2008.

"I said, 'OK, I'm going to find it, I'm going to download it, and in that first receiving meeting that we have, I'm going to play it,'" London said Friday, before the Make-A-Wish banquet at the Broward Convention Center. "And that's going to set the tone. We don't have T.O., we don't have Larry Fitzgerald. But we've got a bunch of hungry, hungry receivers, and guys that [Bill] Parcells and Coach [Tony] Sparano see want to work, we want to get better. So we're going to keep working, and just watch. Just watch."

Much ado about nothing. Seriously they should already be motivated to get better.
 
London has a great attitude.

"Experts" dismiss our receiving corps, but based on no knowledge. We had a whole new team last year, it was the first year these guys are workin together.

Ginn gets way too much hate. Its hard to adapt to the NFL's speed, but Ginn has the speed and the hands to be a really good receiver. He's got a small frame, hes not an overpowering receiver like a Boldin or an Owens or someone big like that. Ginn can be a lethal deep threat when Henne gets under center. Its been 2 years, i think Ginn has made major improvements from year one to year two. This year i think he'll be even better.

Bess was an undrafted rookie and he was playing at a high level when he had to come in and fill Camarillo's shoes. He played good when he was in the slot but he wasnt on the field for alot of snaps. When he came in as the number 2 receiver i thought he did an excellent job. He has great hands and has that quick initial burst and good side to side movement as well. What sticks out in my mind was that one play where he dragged those players to get an extra 7-8 yards. He's small but hes not afraid to go over the middle and he can be physical. He seems like hes a hard worker and will only improve. What a great pickup.

We didnt really get to see too much of London. He wasnt on the field all that much but from what i did see he can be a great receiver who just hasnt had the opportunity to break out yet. His attitude is great, its almost like a leader mentality in a sense. I hope he breaks out and turns into a solid receiver.

We know Camarillo is a hard worker and was doing good before he got injured. The only thing here is i dont see him being a number one or two receiver for us in another year or so. The guys got good work ethic and has a good attitude but realistically i think Ginn, Bess and London will be ahead of him on the depth chart. If we draft or add another receiver i think this even more.

Anybody who hasnt watched every game wouldnt be able to tell you much about our receivers because they arent media friendly. They dont make the headlines. They do what they gotta do and the longer these guys are together the better they'll be and soon people who arent Miami fans will see this. I could care less about the analysts talkin about us, id rather win games and be talked about as a whole instead of Ginn being a big name receiver.
 
The only thing that's "mighty" about Wilford is the ridiculous contract he received. Other than that, everything else about him sucks.

was just going to say that... througout his career, he has never proven to be mighty, ever
 
The receiving core doesn't get praise because guys look at them and don't see any names that pop out at you. Our receiving core grew significantly last season. No reason why with another draft they can't solidify themselves as one of the best young receiving core in the NFL.

I think London will have a break out year this season.
 
we didnt have any drop issues and they got open when called upon. kiper is a tool, hell he isnt even the best at his job anymore where he is employed
