Patriots cheated on Dolphins offense also
[For all of you that consistently criticize me but nonetheless come to this blog more often than you sit down to eat, I am announcing this is my final blog entry. More on that later.]Today we are going to discuss the fact that the Patriots, cheaters and champions that they are, have been further busted by the NFL.As you know, they were fined $750,000 as an organization, had to forfeit...

Josh McCown most likely candidate to start?
Just had a very pleasant interview with Josh McCown, who is my early pick to be the Dolphins starting quarterback in the season-opener.I lobbed the typical softballs for McCown, you know, how he's getting acclimated and stuff like that. But there were also some pointed questions during the interview that he handled well -- like a routine snap from center.I asked him why we should...

Paul Soliai under the microscope in Year Two
One would think Paul Soliai has a great NFL future before him. He is 6-4. He weighs 344 pounds. The Dolphins thought enough of him to draft him in the fourth round last year.But if the team knew then what it learned once he got to Miami, that fourth round pick would have been used on someone else.For all his potential and upside, Soliai is becoming something of a disappointment....

Where do the upgraded Dolphins rank now?
I think no one will argue the Dolphins were the NFL's worst team last season. They had the worst record. They had the No. 1 overall pick this year. They fired their coach and general manager after only one season.They were the worst.But where are they today?Although no one has played a game lately, there has been plenty of activity around the NFL since February when the Giants...

Final rookie minicamp practice over
The rookie minicamp is over and here is the update from today's work.Chad Henne was terrible in practice today. He struggled with his accuracy and was seemingly tired because his sideline throws had very little gas on them."Today, I didn't have such a great practice," Henne said afterward. "I was inconsistent with my throws."The conditioning of these players...

Live blogging from morning practice Saturday...
... OK, just kidding.I'm sure you guys already know about the little web blog hiccup concerning live blogging from practice. Whatev. Less work for me. And more work being done throughout corporate America as guys now can't be online here rather than doing their jobs.As you may know I wrote a column about Jake Long for today's paper. I was truly impressed by his work Friday...

Early report from first Dolphins minicamp practice
Here are some initial thoughts following the end of the first minicamp practice:*The starting offensive line for this practice was LT Jake Long, LG Shawn Murphy, C Mike Byrne, RG Donald Thomas, RT Dan Gore.*Chad Henne, as expected, took the first team snaps at QB while workout player Willie Copeland was second. Henne had an OK day. Copeland, predictably, struggled skipping a couple...

Dolphins forbid live blogging at minicamp and all camps
The Dolphins have just announced that they are not allowing any live blogging at their practices, including this minicamp.You guys that defended the team's ridiculous new clamp down on the media, have fun. No live information for you on what is happening during today's practice -- or any practice, for that matter.The reason the Dolphins say they are not allowing this to happen...

Live minicamp blogging starts at 2 p.m. Friday
The Dolphins open a three-day rookie minicamp Friday but it is interesting to me that rather than two-a-days on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Dolphins are working only once Friday and once Sunday.Saturday will be the only day the rooks go through two workouts. Friday and Sunday offer only single practices.Don Shula (pictured) typically worked the rookies twice a day all three...

For Miami it's about The Code, for us it's about a contest
The Dolphins have a marketing problem and they know it. They haven't made the playoffs since 2002. They were the worst team in the NFL last year. And they didn't exactly go out this offseason and wow anybody -- either with mega-signings during free agency or a sexy first overall draft selection.So the question is how to get people interested enough to buy tickets and fill...

Gholston versus Long rivalry has gone pro
Jake Long and Vernon Gholston know each other pretty well. They played against each other the past several years while Long was the left tackle for Michigan and Gholston played defensive end for Ohio State.They are represented by the same sports agency. And now they'll be seeing each other twice a year in the AFC East games between the Dolphins, who picked Long No. 1 in the draft...

Jason Taylor saga will become heated barring trade
Late Sunday evening when I came to understand the full scope of the current relationship between Jason Taylor and Bill Parcells, I felt like the referee in the middle of a cable television wrestling match.I wrote about that decaying relationship in my column Monday [read it here: http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/story/512073.html] and basically advocated that Taylor and Parcells...

Bad news for Beck: You're not one of Bill's peeps
One thing I think we all should have learned about Bill Parcells by now is that he knows who he likes and doesn't like and he is loyal to his peeps.H fired Randy Mueller and Cam Cameron, in part, because he didn't know them. He hired Jeff Ireland and Tony Sparano, in part, he knew them and felt comfortable with them. Parcells is big on familiarity and that's the reason...

Jags trade-up to get DE hurts Dolphins
You can remove one of the teams that had shown the most interest in trading for Jason Taylor from the list of possibilities.The Jacksonville Jaguars traded up from No. 26 to No. 8 today and used the pick on Florida DE Derrick Harvey. Harvey had all of 4.5 sacks last season and yet the Jags gave up their pick in the first round (No. 26 overall, along with their two third round picks...

Dolphins make trade but not the one you think
The Dolphins tonight acquired linebacker Akin Ayodele and tight end Anthony Fasano from the Cowboys for a fourth-round draft pick. The Dolphins are scheduled to have seven picks Saturday after giving selection No. 100 to Jerry Jones and Co.Ayodele became expendable in Dallas when the Cowboys upgraded by signing, you got it, Zach Thomas. Fasano, a second round pick in 2006, had been...

OK guys here are some names of players I have unearthed that the Dolphins are very, very, very interested in. This is not a complete list by any means but it includes names you might not have seen mentioned by other news sources.We know Jake Long is a done deal.

Taylor wants to play in 2008 but 2009 another story
On April 1, website profootballtalk.com celebrated the foolishness of the day by posting a spoof basically saying Jason Taylor was retiring from football because he had been bitten by the show business bug and wanted to devote his life to dance.Within hours of the post, several Dolphins players, who apparently think everything the site posts is gospel, were either calling Taylor...

They've started something they still have to finish
Now that Jake Long is penciled in as Miami's starting left tackle, I wish to remind you of one small detail that threatens to be lost following today's signing: The Dolphins are still on the freakin' clock.The job is not finished. The team still has much work to do. And with eight more selections in the draft to finish what they have started, one hopes the Dolphins can...

Dolphins handle negotiations without gimmicks
The much anticipated multi-front negotiation with potential first overall picks the Dolphins were said to be preparing has not happened and, by the most rudimentary uses of logic, will not happen because it is simply too late in the draft game to make it work.The Dolphins talked to Jake Long's agent for the first time about two weeks ago and haven't talked to anyone else...
