Does anyone else find it strange that nothing has yet been posted about squad members?

http://twitter.com/Jeff_Darlington Nothing we probably didn't know, but interesting none the less.

Will Allen: Drew Rosenhaus who is Allen's agent, says Will Allen will be healthy enough to play in a couple weeks, does not know why he was put on IR. He said Allen was told by doctors he could play this season, but Fins do not agree. Drew said all signs pointed to him being back, but Miami told...

This place is in histeria and rightfully so, the front office seems to be sippin dat purple drink. I have a gut feeling their planning something big. I do recall when Santonio Holmes was traded for a 5th, The Marshall plan had been set. All im saying is I think theres a bigger plan than "let the...

What happened? Did he not recovery fully or did he piss off the FO b/c he actually was injured (we know how BP is about injured players). When healthy, all we heard about how beast he was. IMO he played awesome when healthy. Any insight???? Thanks

The offense is going to put up points, no doubt about it, yes we will have our droughts but for the most part even with hennings terrible playcalling we will put up 14-28 points a game. Our defense is the main thing to be concerned about. Clemons is my biggest worry, why didnt we take earl thomas?...

we traded away our "losaka polite-esque" third down receiver who didn't drop a single pass last season for WHO ? let me tell u a bit about our man BS. our boy, drafted out of the university of the blind, is in his 7th year after hitting 3 different teams, was a mediocre nickle corner for the...

i heard this song back in october after our first win vs the jets, and im sure most of the people on this board as it was prob posted back then also heard it, but i just got in the mood for it now as football season is 4 days away, and our opener is 1 week away. ...

Wanted to know if there had been any news on whether Nate Ness had been claimed by anyone else, if not, I think he's a lock to be on our practice squad and could get game time should any injuries arise. Any news would be helpful. Thanks.

The Offensive linemen we picked up from them doesn't look like much to me. In fact, he looks terrible! Anybody else seeing this? #77 blows.....

I give the FO the benefit of the doubt 9 of 10 times. It is their job for crying out loud to look at players. However, I think the way they are playing with the Offensive and Defensive Lines is simply bizarre. There is no veteran depth outside of McQuistan and an often injured Grove at this point....

I swear I something to say regarding these moves but my head just exploded!:blowup:

:bobdole:, Come on guys, why are you getting so worked up over Martin, Grant, & Douglas??? I truly don't understand everybodys love affair with those has beens? Martin was a shell of his former self, nowhere near as good Grant was never a dominate pass rusher & he was 30+ trying to learn a...

After listening to several interviews and watching his performance during preseason with all the drops.I question if he is really motivated this year.He has spoken often about coming into a season with a chip on his shoulder and playing pissed off.Now that he is happy and satisfied with his...

The decisions made over the past two days clearly indicate a preference for youth. Potential beats experience - and is in stark contrast to New England (where BB seems to prefer the aging veterans like Randy Moss, Fred Taylor, Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk, etc. I never played the game but it seems...

Has anyone ben picked up for the practice squad or has the dust settled yet?

Guys, Looks like it a League wide thing now. I have followed the NFL for close to thirty years and I have never seem this many Vets cut. My theory is that the League is sending a message to the union.

Thoughts on the subject please. Will we see the return of a hybrid, Jim Jensen type of player? Can he do it?

So everyone was curious about the drops by him in Preseason. I'm not worried , but some still are. Some think the #19 is cursed & Marshall has now been infected by Ginn's drops disease. Well, I read he has had 24 drops the past two seasons, 2nd or 3rd most in the NFL. However, he has over 100+...

This entire season ive said he tackles like a woman etc etc. but so far this preseason he has impressed me and seems much better at it, if he continues this i will gladly support him

Am I going crazy here ? I thought this guy was with Dallas ? Looking thru the Jaguars roster, there he is, number 79 Paul McQuistan. Its the 2010 roster too because Smiley is on it. Or does he have a twin brother with the same first name as him ? weird, did not even know he spent time in...

Angeles that is. This seems like a much better fit for him. http://espn.go.com/blog/AFCEast/post/_/id/17437/dolphins-snip-second-round-qb-pat-white

we went from light on tackles to light on gaurds. and i thought we had one of the better lines earlier this summer :ponder:

Any word on the what it is going to look like in Buffalo? who is LG and Center? Grove or Berger? ANy chance Berger can play that spot and let Grove play center?

TE Spencer Havner was caught up in a numbers game in Green Bay and happen to get caught in a numbers game. He is 6'3 250, has solid hands, is a core special teams contributor, and goal line threat. In GB last year he had 4 TDs and averaged 16.0 yards a catch. He also had 19 tackles on special...

I find it real interesting that even though it has been said time and time again that Pennington is Henne's backup, Thigpen appears ahead of him on the depth chart. I have come to the conclusion that we might finally witness what many have been asking themselves for over a year now. Why did Miami...

I'm questioning this move to keep Mr. Quentin Moses on the roster since he has not shown jack in this preseason. I believe he was injured but still I would keep SS Amaya over him. Is he a key special teams contributor?

OT Adam Terry - 6'8 340 lbs, hes a mammoth. has started a few games with the Ravens. still just 28. OT Herman Johnson - 6'7 360 lbs, I know some thought highly of Johnson coming out of the draft. OT Jon Jansen - Hes older, and likely to retire, but im willing to bet he still is better then...

Hey everyone, I've been getting annoyed with scrolling through the 25 pages of cuts to try to locate people... so heres my take on the cuts and depth chart thus far. QB: 1. Chad Henne 2. Tyler Thigpen 3. Chad Pennington Cuts Pat White

Got a funny feeling about Crowder with Dobbins and Johnson playing a lot. And Anderson also playing on the inside.

The Steelers released former starting center Justin Hartwig on Saturday after efforts to try to trade him failed. Hartwig was beaten out by first-round choice Maurkice Pouncey in training camp. He was scheduled to make $2.08 million, which the Steelers considered too much for a backup center??????...

Pat White has been cut.

I saw on one of the threads that Donald Thomas was cut but I can't find it anywhere else. Is that really true? If so, WOW would never have seen that coming.

I have many questions concerning Pat White, I would love to interogate Parcells, Ireland and Sparano. 1. Why draft him so high at #2? I don't spend nearly as much time studying potential draft picks but most fans could tell you he wasn't a 2nd rounder. What did these guys see that we didn't? ...

I want to get a pulse of Finheaven to see where posters believe the Dolphins will fall this season. I'm real curious because I see many posts where some fans think the team will be very competitive while others still think it needs a lot more talent.

Davie, FL (AP) - The Miami Dolphins know exactly how long they have until the opening game, thanks to coach Tony Sparano's new countdown clock hanging in the locker room. This year, when the season starts, Sparano wants his team ready. The Dolphins started 0-3 last year and 0-2 in 2008....

Hey folks, Coming in from very far away to watch the Jets and Pats games and was wondering if there is a way to try and get some autographs from guys on the squad? We're going to be picking up some Dolphin gear (jersey's, I'd like to get a helmet, etc.) and if there was a way we could manage to...

I was looking at the Denver game v.s Miami during the 08 season. B. Marshall had a TD against Jason Allen which was called back because of offensive pass interference. Besides that play, Marshall was a non-factor in that game. I came to 2 conclusions ? Was Jason Allen really that good on...

I think, now, everyone is starting to realize that that he is adequate, but not a great QB. In the offseason when everyone was giving him praise, I mentioned we should step back and give him a little more time before we anointed him the second coming. Then as the offseason continued, I will...

thanks for your opinions

any one else think our running games is looking real bad? i dont trust ronnie, hes never been a real scary runningback outside of the wildcat. and hes gettin 2.0 yards a career so far in preseaon, and ya its preseason but come on you gotta do better than 2 yards. Ricky is only getting older. this...

I don't know about you guys but I can't wait for me some football. Who cares if the team has question marks? Remember Pennington going down after an 0-3 start last year? THAT was a question mark. How much fun was it watching Henne light up the Jets defense on Monday night on his 2nd NFL start,...

This unit has really not looked good in the last 2 preseason games but shouldn’t it be the strength of the team? Tony Sparano is an offensive line guy, shouldn’t he have it right by now. After all, this entire line has been put together by him and Parcells look at what we have (they drafted Long,...

Is he on a line, under center or somewhere else? Where is the blue chip most likely to be found? Davis is practically a consensus pick for stardom already so he was skipped.

Our uniforms are perfect the way they are(imo). I keep seeing new threads proposing a uniform change with pictures of the ugly new prospects. The dolphin wears a helmet because this is a FOOTBALL team, and its a FOOTBALL logo. Get it? that dolphin has worn a helmet for 45 years and removing it now...

and excuse me here because we all get tired of the uniform threads, but this has always bothered me and never got a clear answer Who makes the decision as far as our uniforms each year? I always wondered how could the decision makers can't see these are the best Not crazy about the current's,...

Do you guys think that San Diego getting Crayton has anything to do with them parting ways with Jackson? I was just thinking that maybe since we were supposed to be expecting a WR and we got an OT instead, does that mean the Trifecta has some inside info on Jackson, and is maybe waiting to snatch...

He isnt the best but he can come in and give us a spark every now and again like he did last year in a few games. He came in the game and provided us with decent runs and kept the momentum going, the 2nd Patriots game I believe was one of those times. Trade Thigen, keep White. Thigpen is of no...

Sparano was scheduled to have a press conference at 5:00 p.m. today but Harvey Greene said it has been moved to 3:00 p.m. Eastern time tomorrow.

I don't know if it's being appreciated enough right now that the entire AFC East is full of fans that, as a result of this preseason and training camp, are about to take a shotgun to the woodshed and off themselves without even leaving a note. But, in all fairness, that's actually an improvement...

Is there any chance sparano and corp are having a talk with sean smith about the deep pass and basically telling him if u keep gettin giving up 50 yard touchdown every game ur going to lose ur job?
