Rookie Is Impressing

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Dolphins | COMMENTS: None Yet

The Miami Dolphins have a rookie who is starting to impress some people.  He is big, mean, and not named Jake Long.  He is Donald Thomas and the 6th round rookie offensive lineman has been practicing at the starting RG spot for the last 4 practices.
While on the surface that might look to mean something, but a cautionary warning, Trey Darilek spent the first 3 practices at RG.  It appears the Dolphins may be rotating the position to find the right fit.
While it is too early to tell how he will work out or if he will even make the team, his defensive counterparts [...]

Jet Landing Is A Fav'r To Pack

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Dolphins | COMMENTS: None Yet

The Miami Dolphins secondary better get ready, the toss it up for grabs Brett Favre is closing in on a landing zone.  The GB Gazette is reporting that the plane arriving with Brett Favre has been cancelled and that Brett and his agent Bus Cook appear to be headed to the NY area, figuratively speaking.  The Gazette says that the Packers and CropDusters are in “serious” negotiations.
The arrival of Favre in NY, should that happen would be a blessing for the Green Bay Packers who are embroiled in a serious PR issue with the ageless one.  While the rumor flies [...]

It's True: Carter Gets Workout Today

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Dolphins | COMMENTS: 6 Comments

It’s true.  It is really true.  Miami Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano said today that Quincy Carter is indeed visiting the team today for a workout.  Has it really come to this?  While he stressed it is only a workout…“Look-see”, the fact that he is even being mentioned is a sad state of reality when you look at the Dolphins QB situation.
I realize that Chad Henne is not ready for the NFL, but damn, shouldn’t the reigns just be handed to him instead of the remote consideration for Cocaine Quincy? 
Sorry, Bill, Jeff, and Tony, but if you guys are seriously [...]

"She" Is here!

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Breaking News, Camp News, Dolphins | COMMENTS: None Yet

BREAKING NEWS:
A source in Miami has informed that Terry “She will be fine” Glenn is a Miami Dolphin…provided he passes his physical. Glenn is likely to be on the field for this afternoons practice if the physical is passed. Expect an official announcment either this afternoon or tomorrow morning. No idea who will be released to make room for him. The names Kircus or Camarillo come to mind.
More on this as I get the info.

Phins Make A Signing

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Dolphins | COMMENTS: None Yet

O.k. this is not new news, it is the guy that the Miami Dolphins replaced Scorpio Babers with. His name is Chris Roberson. Roberson has been in the league since 2005 and played 6 games in the Jaguars secondary in year 1. He has been fighting shoulder injuries the last two years.
Terry Glenn is looking more and more like a foregone conclusion. He will have to pass a physical, but it is more a matter of when now than if…or so it seems…as we know things always change.

Now This Is Just Too Much

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Dolphins | COMMENTS: 5 Comments

Maybe they Miami Dolphins brass are trying to light a fire under the asses of John Beck, Chad Henne, and Josh McCown, or maybe this new Cowboy love thing is starting to sink into these guys as being the only way to ressurect this team.  Now, it appears to be going to far.
According to Michael Irvin, on his radio show today, the Dolphins will be entertaining a QB on Friday for a try out.  Former Cowboy and drug program attendee Quincy Carter.  Carter has not played in the NFL since 2004.  Maybe this is a favor to the guy who [...]

Same routine today folks, watch for “Update” at the top and continue reading.
Also, if you were unable to listen the radio show last night, we [...]

He'll Be Coming To Miami When "She" Comes…

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Breaking News, Dolphins | COMMENTS: None Yet

According to the Ft. Worth Star Telegram, Terry “She” Glenn is on his way to Miami to reunite with all his other Dallas Cowboy teammates. Glenn who is 34 years old, was released this past Friday. Speculation grew that the Phins would immediately be interested. It has apparently taken a few days.
Glenn would be a much needed veteran addition to the WR corp even if only in a backup role. His 1.74 million dollar contract with the Cowboys was too much for Jerry Jones to risk. Asking Glenn to sign an injury waiver claim, Glenn refused which led to his [...]

Sparano Talks

AUTHOR: Txmedic5 | IN: Camp News, Dolphins | COMMENTS: None Yet

The Miami Dolphins released a transcript of the Tony Sparano press conference following today practice.  By the way, I know it’s a pain in the rear to have to read the rest of something on a separate page, but with all the news lately, the front page wouldn’t hold it all.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
