I found the Jake Long video

Interesting. I like this guy, and pay attention, when they ask him about the Dolphins @ #1. He seems like a class act.

IN JAKE LONG's OWN WORDS!

I saw the interview (video) last night, but can't find it today, (See what 6 Samuel Adams Cherry Wheats will do for you?).

Here's a link to his interview (in text):

...and for those who just want the quote:

Q: "Have you talked to the Dolphins? How would you feel about playing for them?"

A: "It would be an honor. I haven't talked to them yet. I've had some informal meetings, nothing formal. It would be a great honor."

This is crap coming out today is "Agent BS."

Matt Ryans workout w/ Dolphins

This is a really good article that I just stumbled onto. It's a diary by Matt Ryan and includes his Pro Day, a private workout with the Jets & Dolphins, and he says he's going to Kansas City & Baltimore, yet.

Sounds like Ireland & company dug into his past, his head, his future, and everywhere they could. Pretty interesting, to say the least & makes me feel mighty good about how they're handling the screaning of potential draft choices. Check it out:

Dolphins are shopping the QB's

Just caught thison Fan Nation truth & rumors:

http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/44551

Seems they had Henne work out already, and have requested a private workout session with Brian Brohm. Interesting. Has anyone heard if Ryan is coming down for a workout, or Flacco?

I'm really curious who they really will go after. Looks like a crap shoot, to me.

Jawz on John Beck

davehowardcustom — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 17:38:56 -0000

Hey everybody, since we're all watching college highlights & wondering who the Feash will pick, I thought I'd bring this in from the last draft.

I absolutely LOVE watching Ron Jaworski analyze teams, plays, players, etc. He has a great ability to help idiots like us understand everything that goes into a play, and what's going on that you wouldn't otherwise notice.

Click on this link & watch Jawz break down John Beck's talents & maybe it will give us all a little faith that with Parcells assembling a whole team around him that he'll take off this year.

Y'ALL NEED A REFRESHER!

Alright people, I know about all the crap about drafting Ted Ginn & his whole family, but seriously (even though Cam can't coach), family does say alot, when you are dangling millions at a young man. I'd rather see a guy from a strong family who has overcome many obstacles than a kid who has never had a concious, diceplin, family falues, or dedication in his life (see Michael Vick).

Anyhoo.......... Since Bill & company are finally getting people on this team that know how to KILL on special teams, you may want to take 7 minutes of your time to see what Ted Ginn can do with proper coaching & people with heart on special teams.

Maybe between Ginn & his family, and the whole freaking Dallas Cowboy family we have signed, we might see some of THIS in '08!

GO DOLPHINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No flack from me on this guy

davehowardcustom — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 02:32:34 -0000

I really like John Beck, but DANG...... Joe Flacco is looking like a steal at pick #32, "just incase" John doesn't pan out. He's a totally different style that Beck, and is a Beast to try and trap in the pocket. I saw Big Ben play in high school & this kid is a second coming of a guy who just signed a 102 MILLION dollar contract. Well work a 2nd round investment.

Check out the footage, and listen to the commentators!

Am I the only real fan with a brain?

davehowardcustom — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 07:45:26 -0000

Let's see..........

The last 10 years or so we have done NOTHING, but trade & throw away our drafts. The coaches & front office have pissed away a 30-somrthin' year tradition & made us a laughing stock.

Jesus Christ, Moses & Mary couldn't have made this team a contender this year. What did Cam & Randy do?

Well, when's the last time the Dolphins EVEN HAD 10 draft picks? They got 'em for us. When was the last time we had this many rookies even PLAY in a season, LET ALONE start? Yes, we sacrificed a few "decent players," but it was the beginning of a rebuild with promise. We've got 11 rookies on this roster, and more on the Practice Squad that show promise.

Excuse me, but when was the last time Ronnie Brown was LEADING THE ENTIRE FUCKING NFL (Over L.T, Randy Moss, and everybody else) in total yards from scrimmage??????????? Oh yeah, and with a start from scratch, make shift offensive line, with a rookie starting center?

When was the last time Zach Thomas missed most of the season due to injuries, (and what.... 6 or 7 defensive backs, a starting QB, 2 running backs..............)???????

You near sighted idiots have NO CLUE what it takes to take a team that has been DEVISTATED by piss poor coaching, management & injuries to build a winner again. It takes MEN who have the freaking BALLS to step up & make the tough choices that don't put a "Dora the Explorer Band Aid" on it & make it feel better for a few weeks. It takes MEN, who have the vision & patience to do the right thing long term to build a winner. Randy & Cam were just that!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, we have Bill (the NFL's version of a 2 pump chump), who will flash thunder & lightning, talk the talk, and run out on us. He's gonna get raises & promotions for every idiot who every rubbed a raw spot on the back of their head under his desk in: Dallas, New York, New England, the OTHER New York............. and then when it backfires, he'll claim "BURN - OUT" & leave us back in the dumpster.

Tell me, HONESTLY, just what REALLY has the Big Tuna done in the last DECADE, (other than 1 super bowl win with the Giants), but live off his reputation & give up & walk away? Did he take The Patriots, Jets or Cowboys to the promised land? Fuck no, he got pissed off at press conferences, made a scene, couldn't handle fan & media pressure, and said, "HOW DARE YOU," and walked out!

I hope you're all happy. Randy Mueller put together the best draft I can remember, being a Dolphins fan for over 35 years. Cam didn't get the wins, and had rookie coaching growing pains, but the team believed in him, never gave up, and we hit rock bottom, to start to build it back right.

Wayne: You shoulda sold the team & opened resturants & car lots! You shoulda let these 2 guys have a fair shot to do what no one else had the fuckin nads to do: scrap this shit & build it right!

Now, we start over AGAIN, and watch "The Big Tuna & his Posse," (sounds like a one hit wonder Rap "Artist" doesn't it) take is to oblivion!

Randy & Cam, I applaud you for what you tried to do. You were on the right track. Problem is fans & the media want that instant orgasm. Well boys & girls, grab your Lubriderm, hide in a closet & have at 'er!

Were screwed,

Dave
