I am now 40 years old... and was one of the original posters and pioneeers--so to speak, on this great board. I have been basically "retired" from posting since 2005...always around here just reading about my favorite team--getting the camp reports from the other great posters around here who at one time---were getting them from myself and OZZY.
I feel rejuvenated... I have to admit, there is something about this years formula...the Ran-Cam Connection (Cameron-Mueller) that just is starting to finally "get it". They both are collaborating, its a unit of one...they seem to understand todays NFL Landscape.
Now...I my not agree with all the moves so far (getting nothing for Randy Mcmichael still bothers me), but I like the way these guys seem to stick with a convicition on how to shape the future of the Miami Dolphins...starting with the QB. If Rick Spielman and Wannstedt were here...we would have already given up at least a first day pick already for Trent Green. Nick Saban wouldn't do anything if he were here, except blame everyone else for his dismal failures in every category as a coach on the Nfl Level...try to rush Daunte back again to save his "choice"...then try to trade up at all costs to get LSU QB Jamarcus Russell, after all its his guy too. One of the worst fits in MIAMI Sports History....that was Nick Saban. But now...Hope is Eternal.
There is a plan and a purpose here. There is no rush. The poker chips that GM Petersen is ante-ing up for Green are as ridiculous to think that the Chiefs are going to pay Green 7.2 Million after June 1st. The Cam-Ram Connection does not blink...we will have Green in the fold...they know it. The only reason to give the Chiefs anything but a 7th rounder is to get Green into camp sooner than later. It is in this situation alone...that I along with everyone else around here...you see something that is well...different.
There is a long ways to go...and it all starts this weekend at the draft. Im going to go to the "bubble", myself. I live right near camp...and I believe that this draft is about as critical at this point in time for the Dolphins--as far as moving forward..then any recent draft in recent memory. We have to have faith in our front office...we have to see what they can do with all these picks. And we have to...we have to hit on just about every single draftee for this team to really go into training camp...without maybe a hole here, and a hole there. We obviously need and will draft in my opinion--2 Quarterbacks...1 Wr, 1 DT, 1 DB, 3 OL, 1 Safety, a Te, a Punter, and a speed Rb. That is not a bad templete...but now...Mueller and Cameron have to put the names to that template...and they need to be able to contribute...and I mean now.
I await this draft with anticipation and excitement... I have decided to come back and start posting again since I have more free time. I will probably respond to more peoples threads then start my own....but because of a very specific promotion to a key Dolphin staff member---you never know..we go back a long way....and I hope to pick this guys brain about whats going on out there in practice...and inside that locker room. He does not have to worry... Nick Saban isn't walking through that door...folks.
Yes...its nice to be back. Like the great movie the Shawshank Redemption...Saban reminded me of that ego-maniaced warden... and now...lets hope that the new Andy Duphrene and Red...are now played by Cam Cameron and Randy Mueller. I hope they will turn the tide on Saban...and win big. So far.... they are digging...and they are digging...
