The Miami Dolphins swapped training camp fullbacks, signing undrafted rookie Matt Quillen and releasing Chris Brown, a second-year player who ended the 2008 season on the Dolphins' practice squad.

Coach Tony Sparano insinuated the staff wasn't pleased with the play of Brown, a converted tight end, and are exploring their options.

"[Quillen] is a guy that we've had on our radar screen for a while," Sparano said. "We worked him out once before and saw some good things, maybe needed a little more time."

Quillen practiced with the team on Thursday morning. During his career at New Mexico, he scored one touchdown and rushed for 59 yards as a senior. He contributed 131 total rushing yards on 27 attempts in his three years with the Lobos. He also caught 17 passes for 105 yards in his career.

Please, we need someone to push Polite. He just flat out whiffs on too many blocks for my taste.
