Hello Everyone...
I realize things are a little slow right now....but in 11 days....its back to camp reporting.
The next camp....QB SCHOOL #2 begins on TUESDAY...MAY 21st.....I will certainly be there.
All the rookies will be present for these 3 sessions.
Like I said.....things are pretty quiet right now....although....the players are continuing to do their weight training down at Dolphincamp.
The only news worth mentioning right now....
BRYAN WEIDMYER is being groomed to replace current Dolphin President....EDDIE JONES....who will officially retire from the front office---once this upcoming season is over. If you saw the list that OZZY put up earlier...on which teams are managing the NFL salary cap the best---you saw that the Dolphins were in that elite group of 8 teams. One of the main reasons is because of this guy....BRYAN WEIDMYER. He is a young guy also....and we should be happy that he will soon be signed up with a nice promotion.. WEIDMYER is an accounting wizard...and indeed...one of those salary-capologists. The DOlphins had to put WEIDMYER on a list of front office execs...who are soon to be promoted....to protect themselves...from other teams that might be interested in hiring him away. From what I understand....there were a number of teams...who have tried to speak with WEIDMYER....but the DOlphin brass did not grant speaking permission. Thus....the Dolphins have informed the LEAGUE OFFICES...that WEIDMYER is due to be promoted in due time.
There is a lot of talk about CADE McKNOWN...and its not positive. He needs to have a much better camp starting on the 21st. His 3/4 side-armed delivery is producing wounded ducks...more than spirals...and he is facing a very stiff challenge this time around....from TIM LEVCIK.
I did not see this as clear as the Dolphins coaches.....but after further reveiw and grading.....its TIM LEVCIK...all 6-6 240 pounds of him---that has been the most impressive out there....for the THIRD QB SPOT thus far.
LEVCIK has the best arm. out there....next to RAY LUCAS. His arm is stronger than both ZAK KUSTOK and MCNOWN...and the coaches liked the way he handled the offense overall.
Its almost unbelievable to see just how much CADE McNown's stock has fallen..... Yes...TIM LEVCIK has a chance to unseat CADE for the third QB job. Its going to come down to the pre-season games for CADE..... he has to produce....or I believe he will be gone.
The player whose stock has risen the most since last camp-----is none other than Te...ALONZO MAYES. He has remained working out at Dolphincamp...and is running out on the field daily to lose some more weight. MAYES...who originally reported to camp at about 290 pounds....is now down to 265 pounds...and is definately out of the doghouse. MAYES had put together some nice practices at the end of the last school....and was clearly the best TE during the last QB school...even out-performing JED WEAVER. MAYES...is back in the mix...he just has to stay healthy. It could be a battle on who will start----either WEAVER or MAYES.
As far as any immenent signings go......I don't think you will see the Dolphins do anything until after JUNE 1st.
Matter of fact....the Dolphins are really in good salary-cap shape right now....and if they did not release anybody on JUNE 1st....it would not surprise me. I keep hearing TODD PERRY is a candidate for release.....but the Dolphins don't necessarily have to do anything on the 1st...with concern to PERRY or anyone. I believe we are something like a tad over 3 million dollars under the cap right now....but some of that money will be going toward these draft picks.
ROB BURNETT.....if there is nobody the DOlphins see on that upcoming cut list that they deem is better.....he will most likely be here.
I would think....unless there is a complete unexpected turnaround with CHRIS CARTER's demands.....its a dead issue. The Dolphins know that CARTER is working out in BOCA...and wants to play here.....and they have said nothing...absolutely nothing on their end. WANNY said....CARTER...."is not on are radar screen"....before the draft...and that monicker has continued.
I am really looking forward to reporting in the next QB SCHOOL....because....all of the WR's are getting healthier....and this should provide some more offense out there. The lack of big plays and touchdowns were not that commonplace last time around....as the defense was much ahead of the offense....mainly due to the injured WR;s---and of course....the newness and unfarmiliar play-calling of one...NORV TURNER.
Lets all hang in there...for the next few days.....DOLPHINCAMP will be re-opening shortly..... thank goodness...we will get the boards moving shortly...I promise.
