"I know he has a job to do," London said. "I know you've got the Michael Crabtrees in the draft. Those would be great additions to the team. I've watched Crabtree a couple of times, and been like, 'Man, that guy is unbelievable.' But you look at it, like 'OK, he (doesn't) think Ted Ginn can get the job done.' I watch Ted Ginn in practice every day, I think Ted Ginn is a hell of a receiver. I watch Davone Bess, I watch (Greg) Camarillo. We think we can get it done. This year, we are really going to have our backs against the wall. Nobody wants us. Nobody thinks we can get it done. That type of attitude. And you're going to see from that opening whistle from OTAs to Super Bowl time, we're going to produce. That's what it's all about."

So London believes the Dolphins can become one of the elite receiving groups in the league?

"Just wait," London said. "And I can't wait. Because I am going to act the fool when they come around. You'll see. I'm going to act the fool."

London said that outside linebacker Erik Walden told him about Kiper's comments.

"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. "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 Coach Parcells and Coach Sparano see want to work, we want to get better. So we're going to keep working, and just watch. Just watch. That's what it's about."

Man, I really hope this kid becomes successful, you have to love his attitude and his leadership. Hopefully he can show us what this organization saw in him.
 
Thats what I'm talking about. Am expecting much bigger things from London this year. Time fopr this bunch too prove it.
 
you know I think he has a good point. I am afriad that i have been unmercifuly hard on Ginn just like some people have been down on Chambers . I will try to be a little less opossed to our wr corp.

I am just wishing that we had guys more popular in the media because I am sick of hearing how good the pats wr corp is and that is why i have been doon of our wrs the way i have.

I think it would be nice to get a Camarillo jersey or London jersey but the fins do need to makeket our current players more.
 
Just what the Underdog doctor ordered. A huge dish of disrepect, treated by a masive dosage of "chip on the shoulder." Include some home grown motivation with serious couching. Keep up the belief Londons. I love this guy!
 
We have a real good WR coach and these kids are hungry, the fact it is the offseason and they are thinking football is awesome and the comment of him playing the audio at the first WR meeting is great.

I have said several times that I dont think Miami take a reciever till the later rounds. A guy like Dudley Guice or Johnny Knox. The Trifecta had lots of success in Dallas selecting recievers late. The selected Crayton in the 7th round and picked up Austin and Hurd as UDFA. The trend continued here last year with Davone Bess. I have learned that if something is not broken you do not fix it and this recieving corps is young and will continue to grow. Look Penny did not have a 300 yard season without good recievers and the reason the TD ratio for our recievers being low is the this team once it gets to the 20 yard line it will depend on its TE, RB and OL.
 
Got to love seeing our young guys determined to be great. I think it'll happen too. London will have a much bigger role this season and guys like Ginn and Bess will continue to grow. I hope Camarillo comes back and can finish where he left off last season.
 
I love this kids attitude, his fire. I would love to see him succeed. I think we have plenty of talent at WO, we just need a running game to keep teams honest. Miami making the trrenches a priority is so important to the rest of the team. But as much as I would love to see Ginn, Camarillo, Bess and London be an upper tier group, we will never be the Cards, Colts or Pats. We will be a running team first and that means less touches for the WO. Does anyone really care if we throw for 500 yards a game if we are winning games 14 to 7 and running for 195 yards a game? I don't think so.
 
Listen I know I bash BP and some of the other players on the team but I am a diehard Dolphins fan and have been since I was very young. I have been waiting for 27 years for a Super Bowl win or even a Super Bowl appearance. Yes we made one in the early 80's but I was 3. I dont mean any harm I just have my opinion on certain things. I love the dolphins but Im tired of losing and makin bad decisions year in and year out. When a team needs CB help the last few years and we dont acquire one FA, draft, or trade its very upsetting. We have needed a WR but Bp thinks we can take players nobody else wants and make it to the SB.We did a good job last year but the schedule was the easiest one anyone has had in years maybe ever. With the upcoming schedule we will not make the playoffs with our current roster. The WR we have are good 3rd and 4th WR on most other teams. Bess could become a great player but he is only signed 1 more year i believe. What happens if he blows up and leaves. We should sign him to a 3-4 year extension while his price is low and maybe while he thinks its the best he will get. I am not a fan of Ginn and might not ever be. That was a terrible pick with Willis and the many other players left on the board during the draft. He will never be a #1 and everyone knows that. He is a track star that is very afraid of contact. His hands are not very good and his route running is mediocre.Camarillo had a serious injury last year and might not ever be the same. He signed in 05 with the Chargers and didnt play in a single game. In 2006 he played in 4 games had 0 catches and SD WR corp wasnt great. IN 07 with Miami he had 8 rec, 160 yds, 2TD. For his career 4 years, 63 rec, 773 yds, 4 TD. So he doesnt put up numbers and never has and now he has a torn acl and meniscus to come back from. SOme players never come back from an injury like that. And most never perform like they did. I dont think he will start this year and I dont think he should. Ginn in 2 years has 90 rec, 1210 yds, and 4 TD in 2 years. And he is supposed to be our #1. Those are #3 WR numbers. He is a deep ball guy and without Henne in he has no chance to catch the deep ball. He isnt and never will be a guy to go over the middle and make the catch. Bess will turn into a beast and is going to be a great slot guy for many years. We should lock him up now. London has talent but hasnt shown it yet and might not ever show it. He was good in college but might not be a good pro player. He had 3 rec for 30 yds last year. Wilford was a decent player in Jax. In 4 years with the Jags he had 141 rec, 1996 yds, and 14 TD. He really only played 3 seasons with Jags. Those arent bad stats from a running team with Leftwich and Garrard running the team. I dont understand why we didnt ever give him a chance to play. Some guys play better in game situations than they do in practice. We spent the money and he has more experience than any other WR on the team and would give us the big WR Penny needs. But still our WR group is very weak. Very Weak. We should look at Torry Holt to help build the guys we have. Plus it wouldnt hurt Chad, Ronnie, and the rest of the guys to have a true #1 guy out there. It would open doors for Ginn and Bess with Holt sometimes being doubled. Teams wouldnt be able to stack the box opening up holes for R&R. When our 3 best WR had a total of 165 rec, 1957 yds, and 5 TD thats not good. Thats the stats that Cammy, Ginn, and Bess put up this past year. 115 rec, 1575 yds, 8 TD. Thats what Andre Johnson put up last year with Schaub throwing to him. 96 rec, 1431 yds, and 12 TD is Fitzgerald #'s . Our best WR had 56 rec last year. That is good for 45th most in the NFL, Ginn also had 790 yds rec which was good for 41st in the NFL and his 2 TD wasnt even in the top 50. So we dont have a WR in the top 40 in rec, yds, or TD. Thats a bad thing. Thats why we need a true #1. You cant win against a normal schedule with that. Your leading reciever shouldnt be a TE. Fasano had 5 more TD than any of our WR. And only 22 less rec than Ginn. Im not sure if Nicks, Britt, or Bey is the answer. I think Holt is the way to go with this one. He is proven , something we dont have. That will give Bess and Ginn 2-3 years to get better and become that #1. If they cant do it in 3 years they will never do it. And I know we are a running team but if you cant throw the ball to keep the D honest we will not run it effectively. BP hasnt done anything this offseason to improve our O excpet bring in an injury prone Center. I like the fire London has but thats big talk from a guy who had 3 catches last year and 30 yds. Wilford, Ginn, and Bess should be starting if we dont bring in anyone else. But I don love this team and want to win I just want better decisions to be made by the FO.

Paragraphs man.....wow!!!
 
Brandon London just became my new favorite player. I sincerely hope this kid can light a fire under this under-achieving bunch. If so that's one less position we'll have to address via the draft. Thank you Kiper for the bulletin board material!!!

Didn't even bother trying to read this wall of text.
Also...players are their own best marketers...not the team. Players like Moss and their skill set market themselves. Brady, WINNING markets himself. TO with his deep plays Markets himself.

Whether we bring in Torry Holt or not i'd still want to draft a wr within the first few rounds. Holt put up solid numbers the last 2 seasons in the Rams offense. I doubt he'd produce the same with Miami. At least not with penny. Plus he's at the age where some players start to "fall off", in terms of performance.

I really do hope that London can put up some numbers this year. It'll be wait and see with Camarillo, it'd be nice to have some insurance. It seemed with penny fecilitating the offense we won't get more than a dink and dunk pass attack, i believe we have good receivers for that.

Listen I know I bash BP and some of the other players on the team but I am a diehard Dolphins fan and have been since I was very young. I have been waiting for 27 years for a Super Bowl win or even a Super Bowl appearance. Yes we made one in the early 80's but I was 3.

I dont mean any harm I just have my opinion on certain things. I love the dolphins but Im tired of losing and makin bad decisions year in and year out. When a team needs CB help the last few years and we dont acquire one FA, draft, or trade its very upsetting. We have needed a WR but Bp thinks we can take players nobody else wants and make it to the SB.

We did a good job last year but the schedule was the easiest one anyone has had in years maybe ever. With the upcoming schedule we will not make the playoffs with our current roster. The WR we have are good 3rd and 4th WR on most other teams. Bess could become a great player but he is only signed 1 more year i believe. What happens if he blows up and leaves. We should sign him to a 3-4 year extension while his price is low and maybe while he thinks its the best he will get.

I am not a fan of Ginn and might not ever be. That was a terrible pick with Willis and the many other players left on the board during the draft. He will never be a #1 and everyone knows that. He is a track star that is very afraid of contact. His hands are not very good and his route running is mediocre.Camarillo had a serious injury last year and might not ever be the same. He signed in 05 with the Chargers and didnt play in a single game. In 2006 he played in 4 games had 0 catches and SD WR corp wasnt great. IN 07 with Miami he had 8 rec, 160 yds, 2TD. For his career 4 years, 63 rec, 773 yds, 4 TD. So he doesnt put up numbers and never has and now he has a torn acl and meniscus to come back from. SOme players never come back from an injury like that. And most never perform like they did. I dont think he will start this year and I dont think he should.

Ginn in 2 years has 90 rec, 1210 yds, and 4 TD in 2 years. And he is supposed to be our #1. Those are #3 WR numbers. He is a deep ball guy and without Henne in he has no chance to catch the deep ball. He isnt and never will be a guy to go over the middle and make the catch. Bess will turn into a beast and is going to be a great slot guy for many years. We should lock him up now. London has talent but hasnt shown it yet and might not ever show it. He was good in college but might not be a good pro player. He had 3 rec for 30 yds last year.

Wilford was a decent player in Jax. In 4 years with the Jags he had 141 rec, 1996 yds, and 14 TD. He really only played 3 seasons with Jags. Those arent bad stats from a running team with Leftwich and Garrard running the team. I dont understand why we didnt ever give him a chance to play. Some guys play better in game situations than they do in practice. We spent the money and he has more experience than any other WR on the team and would give us the big WR Penny needs. But still our WR group is very weak. Very Weak.

We should look at Torry Holt to help build the guys we have. Plus it wouldnt hurt Chad, Ronnie, and the rest of the guys to have a true #1 guy out there. It would open doors for Ginn and Bess with Holt sometimes being doubled. Teams wouldnt be able to stack the box opening up holes for R&R. When our 3 best WR had a total of 165 rec, 1957 yds, and 5 TD thats not good. Thats the stats that Cammy, Ginn, and Bess put up this past year. 115 rec, 1575 yds, 8 TD. Thats what Andre Johnson put up last year with Schaub throwing to him. 96 rec, 1431 yds, and 12 TD is Fitzgerald #'s . Our best WR had 56 rec last year. That is good for 45th most in the NFL, Ginn also had 790 yds rec which was good for 41st in the NFL and his 2 TD wasnt even in the top 50.

So we dont have a WR in the top 40 in rec, yds, or TD. Thats a bad thing. Thats why we need a true #1. You cant win against a normal schedule with that. Your leading reciever shouldnt be a TE. Fasano had 5 more TD than any of our WR. And only 22 less rec than Ginn. Im not sure if Nicks, Britt, or Bey is the answer. I think Holt is the way to go with this one. He is proven , something we dont have. That will give Bess and Ginn 2-3 years to get better and become that #1. If they cant do it in 3 years they will never do it. And I know we are a running team but if you cant throw the ball to keep the D honest we will not run it effectively.

BP hasnt done anything this offseason to improve our O excpet bring in an injury prone Center. I like the fire London has but thats big talk from a guy who had 3 catches last year and 30 yds. Wilford, Ginn, and Bess should be starting if we dont bring in anyone else. But I don love this team and want to win I just want better decisions to be made by the FO.
