Put Up Or Shut Up Time For The Mighty Miami Dolphins!!

In anticipation for miami’s preseason game on August 17th against the Jacksonville Jaguars, there is certainly a different feeling in the Miami air. One of hope, promise, and allure. One reminiscent of the great 70’s and 80’s teams poised to make another playoff run to be a threat to win the big enchilada, the whole chunk of stinky parmisean, the bigger than anything, fantastic, magnanimous super bowl.

We all know how unrelenting time is. How you will read this article today and the next thing you know you are on your way to Miami for your super bowl festivities. With this in mind, witha a league so ever changing and unrelenting. It’s nice for the Dolphins to be a team who is way higher than their madden rating leads you to believe at 77 overall. This season with a coach of his word, and a trigger man with the prowess and stature of the “Big Tuna”, Bill Parcells, the Dolphins look to be a forgotten AFC east champion who steps back in the ring and upsets most of the odd makers this year.

Tony Sparano has the fans in Miami believing for the first tome since the great days of coach Don Shula, that he is going to put us in the best position possible to win every game on the schedule. We must now show the league that last year and our division title was no fluke. That for the first time in years the Phins have churned out a couple of solid draft classes, and made some smarter than usual off season acquisitions like signing safety Girbril Wilson, or arguably resigning long time Dolphin All pro Jason Taylor. Now if we would only sign Michael Vick and be the masters of our own little innovation to offense, the devious, mysterious, Wild Cat! I however already had highlighted this point in a previous article that you can feel free to enjoy.

Pat White has shown many flashes of why he is certainly one of the steals of this draft. Sean Smith is already Playing first team caliber ball, and our youth and quickness match us up well against any team in the league. This includes the two monstrosities in our division, The stinky puke green Jets, and those cheats that call themselves the Patriots.

We shall see if the feeling is a truth brighter than we can all imagine, or a season of growning pains. Either way it’s reassuring to know that we arent resting our super bowl hopes on off season acquisitions like a horrid Jay Fiedler, or a Trent Green, or the train wreck in Miami that wore # 8 Daunte Culpepper. We are beyond all that, and if last year was a litmus test, then the water for the Dolphins is as nice and kinetic as the beautiful beaches of Miami that people travel world wide to come and enjoy. Tealish Green ready to make waves, apeasing the masses as a majestic, art worthy winner, soothing the woes of it’s followers.

The Dolphins are ready to ride this tsunami of promise right back home for the big dance, Super Bowl 44, right here at good ole Landshark Stadium. Good luck this weekend, and this season fellas. Do your faithful proud and see you in landshark stadium in Febuary sometime champions.

Michael Vick Is Worth the Risk for the Miami Dolphins

There is plenty of hubbub as to where Michael Vick should end up. There’s even a list on ESPN, Dolphins included, of teams that say they are not interested. They all supposedly fear the fallout from PETA or dog lovers everywhere

Meanwhile Vick is working with the Humane Society and anyone else he can to try to raise awareness on and eradicate dog fighting all together.

I don’t want to sit here and applaud his sins. The man clearly should not have been engaging in those activities.

However, and not like an everyman, he fessed up for what he did and spent 23 months in a correctional facility that most couldn’t even last a day in, unless of course you earned your ride there. Then of course you have no choice.

That being said, Vick has paid his dues, and if his talent is anywhere close to where it was, then he deserves a shot as a law-abiding citizen to resume his life the best he can.

If he starts winning, the dog lovers in his community won’t be ecstatic, but you better believe they will be happy about the W’s in the ole column.

For this reason, I think Michael Vick would be a steal for the Dolphins. We wouldn’t even have to release anybody important, and the originators of the wildcat in essence would have the most ideal quarterback for the formation besides the ideal rookie quarterback we already have.

We could sign Vick as a “RB” or “WR” when clearly he is a QB to save roster space, and with rumors saying his best offers are from the veteran minimum or $2 million for a year, this could be a steal for one of the most talented QBs to ever play the game. If his skill set diminished, you cut him like any other player without a huge cap hit.

It sickens me to know that the Patriots lead the way in signing him as well when for the past three seasons and including this season, the Patriots have made the most significant free agent offseason moves in NFL history. Letting them have Michael Vick and run the offense we originated into this league on us makes me want to pull what little hair I have out.

There is no way that for the pennies we can have him for now we can let New England, which really needs no help at this point except on the O-line, have Tom I won’t finish his name for personal discrepancies and Michael Vick. NO WAY!

The Dolphins should play possum to see who comes close to signing him and snag him for the highest he’ll get and the lowest we can get him for. It’s a win-win for all of those involved.

It gives the Dolphins the truest talent for the wildcat formation, it keeps the Patriots from turning into Dragonzord or Megazord or some other mythical creature bent on world domination, and it makes our team way more talented than it already is.

It would add some veteran leadership to the locker room and raise awareness about a topic of relevance in a community that probably ignores or even encourages such action.

I don’t see anything wrong with picking up another Pat White, except that Vick’s no untried rookie. He’s the only QB to beat Brett Favre at his home in the playoffs…sounds like a winner to me!

Tony Sparano, do us all a favor and tell Bill Parcells to SIGN HIM!

Miami Dolphins Should Take a Look at Montrell Jones from Fourth and Long

 

I can’t believe that Montrell Jones got cut on Fourth and Long!

This is the guy I felt had the most promise out of anyone on the show.

He has the size, the heart, and the speed needed to be a contributor to any NFL team. I know for a fact that he could be a practice squadder at worst.

From seeing him on the show, I know there has to be a Canadian team that, as long as they have basic cable, saw a receiver that can instantly be one of the top two receivers on their roster.

My hat is off to Michael Irvin for creating such a great show. Legal clamoring aside, this show is separating the men from the boys and giving one of us, a common man, a shot at the dream to be a NFL player.

This is one I’ve longed for my whole life, and it’s nice to see Michael Irvin give someone like myself like a three percent shot to make the Cowboys. I’ll say it is better than no shot, and it still beats watching the Jets.

That being said, I believe the final six players on the show, and very arguably Preston McGann, deserve a shot to practice squad or be a special teams contributor.

The things they are being put through are ridiculously hard, and these men are still standing at the end.

I have a small issue with over exhaustion and injuries costing players their shot, but I know I would risk my life for a chance at putting on the pads at any professional level, and especially in the NFL.

This brings me to my original point, Montrell Jones. With all that this man has been through and what he showed on the show, I think the choice is clear for any team in the league to take a small risk on this guy.

If it doesn’t work out, you could always cut him later on. If he makes the team, it could bring extra publicity to the team and the fans.

Overall, the main goal is to find the best players to field a team, and Montrell Jones reminds me of the 2009 version of an ex-Dolphin Receiver by the name of Orande Gadsden. Were it not for a pathetic player named Jay Fiedler, Orande might have had a longer career. 

A healthy Montrell catching passes from Chad Pennington or Pat White could lead to a younger version of Terrell Owens.

Montrell could help a receiving core that already is showing signs of getting back to the Marks brothers days. He has the potential to be a great three, alongside a pretty good combo of Devone Bess, and Ted Ginn.

Having Patrick Turner with his skill set standing at 6’5″, and say a Montrell who is 6’4″ with comparable speed could bring size and speed to an already versatile offense.

So if anyone has any sense, I am looking at you Miami Dolphins, you will let Montrell Jones get a shot on your team and not the Cowboys, who may have over exhausted and injured the next TO type receiver.

Good Luck Montrell, I hope you’ll be a Miami Dolphin soon!

 

The Radioactive AFC East, Who Will Have What It Takes To Win It All?

This year, the AFC East champions wont have it easy. With every team in the conference making key off-season acquisitions, the AFC East seems poised to give the famed and fabled NFC East a run for its money.

First we start with the pure evil of the league, the New England Patriots. Making moves better than Cobra Commander could ever dream of, Bill Belichick made several off season steals to make his roster even better than last year.

It seems like every writer says the same thing for years now. Joey Galloway is still rumored to run a 4.5 and with the old man’s experience, don’t be surprised if he leaves a young corner or two lost in translation.

Leigh Bodden and Sean Springs silence any questions about losing Asante Samuel and any other glaring hole on the team, as if there was one. Finally for the villain in this little picture, they signed the Jaguars running game by picking up Fred Taylor in this off season. All in all, the Patriots won’t have many teams running to their door step.

Then there is the sheer and utter scum, otherwise referred to as the New York Jets. This team made the most drastic changes of arguably any in the team, hiring new Head Coach Rex Ryan.

Rex then proceeded to turn the Jets into Baltimore North by signing Bart Scott and Jim Leonhard, to sure up a defense that combined with an ailing Favre kept the Jets from the playoffs, again.

Drafting Mark Sanchez as hard as it is for me to type at this point was a great move on there part. I believe they either signed the first good QB they’ve had since Broadway Joe, and even if he isn’t he at least can manage his way out of trouble, with Thomas Jones finally showing back up to share the load.

I salivate at the chance of welcoming Mark Sanchez to the Dolphins Jets rivalry with a big fat 0-2 and a see ya, next year!!!!

Finally, the Buffalo Bills weren’t napping this off-season. With the NFL’s CBA in question I feel the decision to bring T.O. to Buffalo was more a PR move than a move to position themselves closer to the championship, even though its hard to argue they are worse off.

Controversial or not, Terrell Owens is probably the second best receiver behind the greatest Jerry Rice. Efforts show this and if you ignore that pull out any stat book that the NFL has and you’ll soon realize that T. O. is a good player, however verbose and pompous he may be.

Aside from his sheer talent and the fact that the Bills looked so promising before falling back into mediocrity, it was a move I feel to bring the cameras who are blood thirsty for the next oppurtunity to bash and batter the receiver, to a small market town in danger of losing the only team the area cares about besides the NHL’s Sabers.

With Marshawn Lynch, and another year under Trent Edwards belt, do not fall asleep on T.O.’s new experiment.

Now that I got the unpleasantries out of the way, the Dolphins have no smooth sailing ahead by any means. On strength of schedule alone we are among the leagues hardest, and after being the AFC East champions the secret is no longer a simple whisper in the wind.

We didn’t stand flat-footed ourselves, drafting Pat White, Sean Smith, and first-rounder Vontae Davis would seem to solidify the only positions we’ve needed help in all along.

Thank the heavens for Bill Parcells and for his instilling of the vision here in Miami. For the first time in about seven years, the Dolphins are trying to figure out how to make a Super Bowl appearance instead of eking in the back door to make a playoff spot.

All in all the AFC East seems almost like four nuclear bombs waiting to explode on one another and show the rest of the league why the AFC East is one of the best divisions in the league.

The Road won’t be easy but look for the Dolphins to do a fine job of defending their division crown!
