[travis minor]

wellplayed

[Lane1974]

yeah, it felt organic when I typed it, you know?

[travis minor]

that was way over my head

[GameTime_3]

Where is Ablert Haynesworth? That Guy needs to be on the Dolphins.HE is in my top 4 Best DT in the league.Offer him the biggest contract of any DT.Then Glen dorsey is not needed and we select Jake long.

[travis minor]

was trying not to jinx it....jerk

[OAKTREE NYK1]

Parcells might not want any part of Haynesworth after he was coaching the Cowboys when he stomped on his Centers Head

[2poor]

How about that Culpepper guy? We need a QB, right?

[travis minor]

didn't know where else to put this but,

lol san diego trying to hit chambers deep multiple times unsuccessfully
been there, done that

[heat4life]

Chambers was wide open on that one drive.

[travis minor]

yea i definitely wrote that before that huge play.
which was a terrible pass btw, if he leads him its probably a touchdown
If they still had Brees they would be my superbowl pick

[OAKTREE NYK1]

Now that Sparano is in the fold how many people think that Flozell "The Hotel" Adams will be a Miami Dolphin???? Seems like the veteran Left Tackle this team needs to go along with all the young bucks.

That would be Great.Then We can Take Glen Dorsey or Chris Long. I would much rather Target Albert HaynesWorth this offseason as our 1 problem.Then get Flozell and wow. Think of the talent we could at in one offseason. Offense side we get a solid O-line. Defense gets Hayness worth with Jason taylor and Chris long ont he edge. Wow. Also with second round i think we should take TE from missouri or USC. And a Linebacker that can Start outside linebacker. Resign Zach to a low figure andtell him that he will play less so that he can play alot more games this year. Also if Asunti samuel or Trufant are there for the taking we have to take a look.Also remmber Jason Allen and Y.Bell will be a good combo at Saftey.

[OAKTREE NYK1]

With Parcells and Sparano on the team you can automatically take Albert Haynesworth out of any free agent talks with us. Dont forget what Big Al did to one of Parcells and Sparano's offensive lineman a couple of years ago. Flozell actually looks quite realistic. Bring his ties with Parcells and his old line coach in Sparano the only thing left is to throw the money his way and that is something the team has plenty of. Forget drafting Dorsey as Chris Long is the guy that is going to be taken with that 1st pick.

[OAKTREE NYK1]

Also look for Matt Roth to be a beast as an OLB in the 3-4. He has the tools to be the next Kevin Greene and is defintely a Parcells type of player.

[travis minor]

haynesworth will definitely be franchised

Ireland/Tuna seeminly want Trent Green back as QB/insurance

makes sense, I guess if they can get him for cheap -- there really is no exciting veteran QB option out there in free agency, Green has shown willingness to be a mentor... I am guessing they draft a QB in the middle rounds, and let Beck/Green duke it out in preseason and hope Green maybe gives them 8 games before Beck or new QB come in and take over...

Dolphins want oft-injured Green back at QB

The new Dolphins front office wants concussion-prone quarterback Trent Green to come back for 2008.

Dolphins football operations chief Bill Parcells and General Manager Jeff Ireland have reached out to Green to express their interest in his return.

"There have been conversations about Trent returning, pending his health issues," Green's agent, Jim Steiner, said Monday night. "The conversations are just getting started, and they will be ongoing for quite some time.

Green has "got a huge passion for the game, and he's passing his medical tests 100 percent," Steiner said.

But Green still hasn't made up his mind whether he wants to resume a career that has been waylaid by concussions in each of the past two seasons.

Green, who wants to enter broadcasting once he retires, spent the playoffs commentating for ESPN and the NFL Network and appeared to be having fun.

"The first step is I have to get cleared," Green said just before the season finale.

"The second step is my wife and I have to make a decision that's in the best interest of our family."

It's not certain whether the Dolphins view Green as more of a mentor or a starter, but if he does come back, he'll probably need to accept a pay cut.

He is scheduled to receive $2.8 million and $3.5 million the next two years under the three-year, $12 million contract that he signed upon joining the Dolphins last year.

Green will be 38 years old when the next training camp opens and is coming off an abbreviated campaign in which he threw five touchdown passes and seven interceptions. He posted a team-high 72.6 passer rating for a team that went 1-15.

Dolphins coach Cam Cameron lobbied General Manager Randy Mueller to acquire Green in June for a fifth-round draft choice in this year's NFL Draft.

The move was controversial when it happened because of the questions surrounding Green's health, and the fears came to pass.

The two-time Pro Bowler suffered a concussion in the 2006 season opener with Kansas City. While sliding after a run, he absorbed a driving shoulder from Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Robert Geathers that caused the back of Green's head to slam off the turf.

Green missed eight games but came back to help the Chiefs reach the playoffs.

Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor, commenting on the situation during the summer, expressed to Sports Illustrated apprehension over Green being the team's next quarterback.

"He'd better not get hit. One big hit, and he could be scrambled eggs," Taylor told the magazine.

Green started the first Dolphins' five games but was knocked unconscious in the Oct. 7 loss to the Houston Texans.

Green went low to block 6-foot-3, 315-pound Houston Texans defensive tackle Travis Johnson on a broken play. Dolphins receiver Ted Ginn Jr. had fumbled on an end-around and doubled back. Green tried to disrupt pursuit and got kneed in the head.

Sad to say but he might be the best QB left on our roster. I know Parcells is going to bring a young QB to develop and compete with Beck and the FA market for QB's is not impressive at all.

[OAKTREE NYK1]

It would be nice too see a player like QB Joe Flacco there in the 4th or 5th round as a developmental QB. Parcells will get more picks in this draft. That 1st pick in the second round is like gold in a draft like this. Teams wanting to jump on some quality offensive Tackles before the run happens will deal with the Phins.
