Comatose Sleepers: The Wide Receiver Edition

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 21:26:29 -0500

Since there is approximately 528 unofficial definitions for a sleeper, it is often hard to get a grasp or gain any middle ground on exactly what one is. Luckily, there is but one definition for a comatose sleeper. The following, which I made up, is that definition:

The Week That Was, And Wasn’t…Offe nse

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 08:59:12 -0500

So the first full week of Miami Dolphins 2008 training camp in the books. It was a week that gave hope to a new defensive philosophy, a week that asked more questions about the QB's with less answers, some names not mentioned, and other's mentioned but not signed. It was the week that was and [...]

“She” WR to Sign with Dolphins?

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 14:38:43 -0500

Are the Fins that desperate for wide receivers? The Dolphins are reportedly going to sign recently released former Cowboys WR Terry Glenn, whom Bill Parcells once referred to as "she". This is more fodder for those fans that have remarked that the new regime in Miami is building the Cowboys in South Florida. I'm all for adding a veteran wide out to this team as long as there are some provisions in the event Glenn can't play. The receiving corps of Ginn, Hagan, Wilford, Camarillo and Kircus along with a host of rookies, including Davone Bess, isn't exactly striking fear into defensive units across the league.

NFL Draft early entry: Two Hawaii receivers going pro

Wed, 09 Jan 2008 22:29:48 -0500

After the graduation of QB Colt Brennan and recent departure of head coach June Jones, the Hawaii football program is in a state of disarray. With these impending questions looming, both WR's Davone Bess and Ryan Grice-Mullen will forego their senior seasons and enter the NFL draft. Not that these guys are on top of anybody's board, but they're on the radar at least. If they go back to Hawaii, nobody knows what kind of offense the Warriors will have next season, and this seems to be their best shot at the NFL.
