Last winter when we signed TE Teyo Johnson, I thought this would be an outstanding move. I remember he was a very talented WR at Stanford and when he was drafted by the Raiders, they moved him to TE. After a couple teasing years with the Raiders, he was cut. He did next to nothing with the Cardinals last year. I thought that he would realize that by signing with the Dolphins, he could tap some of his immense potential. The guy has special speed for a tight end and both athletic and playmaking ability. Evidently, the light is not going to go off for this young man. He doesn't want to pay the price and work to become the special player he could be. Imagine the possibilities of McMichael and a motivated Teyo Johnson! What a TE combo that would be. Imagine the options for Daunte Culpepper with two great receiving tight ends. And imagine the red zone targets (Johnson is 6'6 and 260 lbs.) But instead, he dogs it and is buried on the depth chart. I would be absolutely shocked if he made the final cut. Such a waste. I really have no sympathy for these guys in the NFL who have loads of talent but don't want to work to become great. They have no idea how blessed they are and are complacent to the point of ignorance.

In closing, I'm just really disappointed with the effort Teyo Johnson has put forth so far with the Miami Dolphins. He could be a special player and part of something special here in Miami. But instead he chooses the path of least resistance. The only footsteps Teyo will be hearing this season is that of the Turk asking him to hand in his playbook in a few weeks. What a waste. :shakeno:

Say Hello to Jason Rader

At least Jason Rader has made some plays and hasn't become the invisible man like Teyo Johnson has. I just think it's a disgrace that a guy who is as talented as Johnson is will get beat out by Jason Rader. No knock on Rader, just a knock on what a poor work ethic Johnson has.
 
I think Teyo Johnson is closer to 245 then 260. They guy is NOT a blocker and does seem to go half speed. He just doesn't get the NFL. His days with the Dolphins and the entire NFL are numbered.

I agree!! but WOOW does JAson Rader have great hands or what

I didn't get to see the Bucs game the other night. Sounds like he can get open for a big guy as well. You know that drop he had in the endzone has got to be eating at him! But things like that will motivate hard working players. If I'm not mistaken, he played for us last year in the preseason and played well then too (I think he caught a TD in the HOF game against the Bears).

You're right. He has the physique of a tall WR, not a TE. I just wish guys like him would realize that playing in the NFL is a tremendous blessing, not a right that is to be taken for granted.

He sure has a knack for getting open.He has been another of our pleasent surprise's this year so far.
 
Agree Teyo is a dissapointment, and Rader has been a pleasant surprise so far. Shouldn't have dropped that TD pass from JH Sat. though, it hit him in the hands!

He made some really nice catches. But, the one I keep remembering is the one that he dropped that would have been a touchdown.
