Forum: Miami Dolphins

john clayton is sayin that the chargers have untill thursday to work a deal with drew brees, or hes a FA.... he says theres a good chance that he becomes a free agent and goes somewhere else..... and on culpepper he said there is a good chance that he is going to get cut. griese- most...

I have always said I think Nate Clements is one of the best corners in the league. I think he is one of the most underrated players in the NFL. What is the word on if Buffalo is going to resign him or not? He is a big physical corner that would also fit into Sabans system. Not to mention he is...

Read pages 13-14 section f. Decide for yourself what may/could happen based on good facts instead of speculation and rumors. ;) CBA Drug Policy

At the time I was just trying to make the point that we had two great backs but lacking even a starter in other areas. I disliked Williams from the getgo for his lack of class when he left last year so him leaving one way or the other is ok with me. I was just kind of hoping for some trade value. ...

Given the fact that Ricky came back and did so well. With our needs at other positions including QB, Was drafting Brown a mistake? I mean he did OK and all but imagine if it was said "With the second pick, the miami dolphins select Aaron Rodgers." The position we would be in now...

I know alot has already been said about this but heres my take. First, if it is a missed test then we need to know the particulars on why! Second, somethings wrong here in how this story is routed, if this is some type of ploy at devaluing Ricky even further then maybe Denver should be held...

While Ricky's drug test failure has not been fully verified by the NFL, the alarming number of increased reports seem to lend creedence to the story. Also likely, the PFT report that Ricky has missed a test. While I am still in a "wait for verification" mode, to deny that this report seems to be...

WE can entrust in RONNIE BROWN or MAYBE PICK UP EDGE to help us win da big one.... :tongue:

http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/MIA/9251291 Only acknoledges that the herald and the denver paper are reporting stories. It says the league and the fins have no comment....

Without knowing if the report of Ricky "failing" a NFL drug test is accurate. Or whether its inaccurate and premature. Does your opinion of what the Dolphins should do with Ricky change? Presuming its a false report and no penalty or missed time occurs for the upcoming 2006 season, what would...

the NFL and the Players union are far from an agreement and the deadline is less than 2 weeks away i beleive. if an agreemenet is not reached there will be no salary cap this year and the player union said if they play one year with out it they will never welcome it back. this would really suck...

I live in Steeler country and last week my son (3) came home from preschool and said he didn't like the Dolphins anymore. He said he liked the Steelers cause his teacher told him the Dolphins stink and the Steelers were Superbowl champions. In class they all made black and gold Steeler's #1...

Daunte Culpepper for a 2nd round draft pick like reports say the Vikings want in return? I'm buying!

I just heard on sportcenter that everything is based off of what this one station in denver said. How did they get this news before anyone in miami???:confused: Don't you think Saban would be on top of the Ricky situation to make sure he stays clean?:wink: Why would Ricky do...

I was wonderin'. A while back I'd heard that a legal precedent had been set that made "non-compete" clauses in employment contracts non-binding; in that the 'non-compete" would in effect keep someone from making an income in their field of work. My question is then: If Ricky made the contention...

Last season, LB Sedrick Hodge for the Saints missed a drug test while on vacation in the offseason. It was his third offense, but a one year suspension was triggered. He appealed the decision, and it appears as if he was not suspended and was allowed to play last season. If this is true, and...

I just went to NFL.com and there is absolutely NOTHING on their website reguarding Ricky. Its been well over 12 hours since this news came out and NFL.com would have the story there by now if anything was official. Nobody knows whats going on...you would think NFL.com would atleast comment on what...

I'm already tired of hearing the excuses for Ricky. If he failed the drug test or missed the test, doesn't matter.......it's a one year suspension regardless. I have seen too many posts already trying to bail Ricky out. I can let the first time he retired slide, because he chose to do what...

I am getting sick and tired of all these topics in where people are opposed to trading Ricky Williams for potential draft picks or a position player. Face it, we signed Ronnie Brown last season to a huge multi year contract coming out of the 2nd pick overall in the draft. He's the new face of...

http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm It's now well know that Dolphins running back Ricky Williams missed a drug test, supposedly because he is in India. But the fact that Ricky's trip to the land of the Dell computer call center staffers caused him to apparently miss one of his...

sorry i just needed to write a thread to make everyone laugh...John Clayton said a month ago we have a good chance of getting edge...maybe this paves the way...anyone else feel like hurting someone or doing some kind of bodily harm right now..cuz i'm heated:fire: :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire:...

I had just arrived in hawaii two years ago for a vacation that I always wanted. I was talking to my Dad in the airplane about how good of a person Ricky Williams was. He never complained or fussed to the coaches. Ricky Williams was a team player. When I turned on the TV, the first thing I saw...

NFL Triples Number of Offseason Drug Tests WASHINGTON — The NFL is tripling the number of offseason drug tests (search) each player can face, a policy change made public on the eve of Wednesday's hearing before congressmen who are already drafting legislation on steroids in sports. ...

Local Miami news stations are reporting that Ricky is currently in India. Additionally, at least one station is saying Ricky may have simply failed to show up to take one of the tests which would result in a "failed" drug test.

For one we dont know wat this whole ricky drug failed test could be It could be a legal substance that many players test positive for but because its ricky everythng immediately becomes public. Also if it is true we need to realize 1. We have ronnie brown 2. Sammy Morris is a very...

Was the Ricky experiment a failed one? Saban brought him in for a year and Ricky played well in the back-up role. Now he fails a drug test, was he a failed experiment? or did Saban do a good job getting a year out of him?

There isn't any news of it on NFL.com, so is it even credible information ?

you have to think that the situation with Ricky will definitly have an impact on whether Saban goes after T.O. ....:mad: .. I cannot see Saban taking a chance on TO...

Ricky is gone next year, this is a devastating blow to our running game as Ronnie showed flashes but didn't really show the ability to carry the load and dominate the game as of yet. We need another big playmaker on offense who can lead the team and score us some points, to me that man is Drew...

I was just watching SportsWrap on CBS4 here and they were doing a little series on who was the last guy to wear the number 34- It was Cecil Collins, and where is he now in Prison, and he won't get out at least till 2014 now there are a couple of similarites and differences between Collins and...

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/columnists/sfl-0220rickyskolnick,0,7214061.column?coll=sfla-sports-col Good article.

Of the QBs that look to be available to the Phins which one do you want and why.No matter the cost.

between Denver...and the French....this place is in a uproar....lol. I cant wait for the dust to settle....1 dollar says Ricky is cool....and 1 dollar says that the French are not.....I bet Brock Berlin in the NFL Europe...is the leak to the French....

Ok now ill state right now i am not one of the people who is for trading Ricky Williams but then again i dont run the team. Lets say Williams apeals the not showing up to court thing and wins it and he is still a Dolphin which most possibly could happen, Do you guys believe since the talk was he...

I think the phins...were willing to overlook the repayment of the 8 million due to his performance last season with the team and on the field. But if this turns out to be weed...as the substance...and not some accidental intake of poppy seeds or something of that nature....then I say we take his...

Saban said defensive tackle Vonnie Holliday (elbow), long snapper John Denney (elbow), guard C.G. Brooks (shoulder) and wide receiver Fred Gibson have undergone offseason surgeries. any news on these guys (especially Vonnie)?

Boomer ad the Free agent season looms on and the draft who are the strong candidates that Miami will sign to make the team better!! Who Will Saban pursue the most? Will Cutler come to us? I hear Whitehurst will be a better pro than Cutler? Will Saban Lure T.O? Will Saban Get a monster...

I kept giving you the benefit of the doubt! You were my favorite dolphin player of all time besides marino. I mean yes you smoked marijuana and so doesnt half the population of the united states! You knew it was against the nfl rules and still you couldnt stop! When you were on the field u were...

Did you ever think that the substance ricky used could of been part of his diet plan,,,if so could he be excused?...but like all of you are thinking,,i think it is marijuana to...just trying to think postiive..

Why do so many of you want to get rid of Ricky so bad? I will never understand it. Sure he walked away from the team, but the team now trusts him and they are around him everyday so why shouldn't we? Do you hate having a league rushing champion at base salary in the backfield? Do you hate...

Regarding Ricky Williams failed drug test, please look at the positive.........this is about the ONLY possible thing that could have happened to end all of the "trade Ricky for this or that" scenarios on this board. Now - we can all move on - and make much better use of our overall #2 pick last...

How does Ricky's impending suspension affect the cap? I have no comprehension of this sort of thing, and I am blonde, so please dumb down the explanation. Thanx!

How ironic would it be if the "substance" that showed up in his piss wasn't WEED, but something in a Protein Shake or something like that which happens from time to time with NFL players.

Assuming the story is true and Ricky Williams is suspended for the 2006-07 season, I predict that we will re-sign Sammy Morris (and perhaps Travis Minor) as inexpensive insurance policies. Better than a sharp stick in the eye.

Miami's head coach admits his team's ability to augment his roster through free agency would be greatly diminished if the CBA agreement were to remain as is when the NFL's signing period begins March 3. "It's going to be a very difficult circumstance for people to operate systematically and...

Remember last year guys when ricky failed the drug test our season started going all down hill from there,,i think ricky is a curse, but that is when we had wanny i just hope it isnt the same thing again this year,,,but we do have saban now,,,but you cant help to wonder if this is all deja-vue...

Here are my ratings for our current roster (0-99, rating, like madden) post yours and feel free to critizize mine QB- Gus Frerotte- 80 Safe Rosenfels- 77 Cleo Lemon- 60 RB- Ricky Williams- 89

He has the body for it and is fast enough, for that position.... His speed isn't ideal for the CB position that's why I think that a switch to the strong safety will be really good for this team. :dolphins: :dolphins:

Someone just made a thread about the ratings he gives all of our players. I would like to focus on one guy and the is Chris Chambers. As you can tell Im a big Chambers fan. So the question is, where do you all think CHambers stacks up in the NFL? I personally think he is around top 10 in the...

Does anyone remember the season when the NFL players went on strike and scabs were brought in to continue the season? I was watching one of those NFL Films presents features on TV and it came up. Out of curiousity, who were some of the Miami scabs and did any of them continue to have a career...

Dolphins | Team not likely to pursue Law Sun, 19 Feb 2006 06:36:59 -0800 Alex Marvez, of the Sun-Sentinel, reports the Miami Dolphins are not likely to pursue CB Ty Law (Jets) when he becomes a free agent in March. Even with Law re-emerging as one of the top corners, it's difficult to envision...

Miami Dolphins If the Dolphins can improve their salary-cap situation, they should be major players in free agency and should be able to attract free agents to South Florida. Besides the weather and the city of Miami, second-year head coach Nick Saban is coming off a strong debut season and has...

Just wanted to let you all know I went to Dan Marino's for the first time last night! I live in Vegas and they opened a Hooter's casino and Marino opened his restaurant there. I'm sure there is one down there in Miami so many of you might have already been there. If not I recommend it! There is...

Hi guys, I was wondering which of our free agents should we resign. I think we should resign Shulters, Mckinney, and Rosenfels. I think Shulters did a great job at the safety position and I think we should bring him back for at least one more year. I know alot of you want to get rid of...

Most people won't care but I found out tonight that Dan Marino has put in an offer to by my friend's parent's house just 5 minutes from where I live. Awesome news for me :D haha I guess its just a vacation house away from Florida.

:nublar: http://www.finheaven.com/news/3026/ Cool thing is, he will be having his own website soon. I think he is going to be something very special for the Dolphins for years to come.

I am so tired of people saying how bad of a QB Gus is. He might not have won games single handed but he also wasnt resposible for loosing the game single handed either. He was very smart with the football for the most part and has good pocket presence. I was so sick of watching our QB's throw...

Hey guys, does anyone have ESPN Insider? On the main page they have a Rumor Central link that lists tons of players that are or could be free agents and include who is interested and more. If anyone could post this that would be great. :dolphins:

Do anyone knows the progress of the Mitchell kid...Saban IR in training camp I heard he was the real deal until into he busted and torn up his knee at his pro day...I also heard he could had been a late first rounder ...do anyone knows his progress.:dolphins:

So it looks like time is running out for these guys. There is only 2 weeks left before Free Agency kicks off. They may hit the market. Who would you sign from the three? Here is where I stand: McNair: Probably the best option. He only has 2 or 3 years left tops, but he is a strong, veteran...

Is their a complete FA list available I understand Franchise Tags and Resignings will happen before FA period begins. I am curious to look at the career stats of some players available at positions of need for Miami. Thanks

Gus did so well im still in shock. In his 1st year with a hole new team he went 9-7, wow, i mean Daunte had the same team around him except for moss, for the games he was in and he was terrible and i could say the same things about other QB's. And yes i watched every game our the recievers did have...

I was thinking the other night about all the rumors that have been spread around this website and i thot wat it would be like if we got everyone of them here is my depth chart. QB daunte culpepper, mcnair, and cutler Rb Ronnie, Edge and Ricky Fb who cares Wr TO, Reggie wayne, chambers and...

Not that i can think of any, but people have thier own views, but do you think theres anyone that the Fins should tag?

I think there was already a thread about this, but damn our front 7 has some serious potential from next year. Last year it was great but with another year of these guys playing in the defense and with an addition or 2 maybe, the Miami front 7 will be among the best in the business. In the 3-4...

HOw did webster play this year? better then daniels? or what about compared to the other rookie DB's? like the brocno duo i believe are both rookies. how did he rank. not personal opinions but via facts and watchign games. I wish we can get 1 more late 1st or low to mid 2nd for RW so we can pick...

hey wats up i was wondering who you think the worst player on the dolphins is? i think personally it is either eddie moore:lol: or wade smtih :sidelol: i just cant decide well what do u guys think

According to the guys on Around The Horn the Jets are thinking about cutting Pennington and drafting Cutler... if they let him go, should the Fins be interested?

Looks like this LB will be ouuta Sabans plans!!

john clayton was going over the culpepper thing and he said the order of teams interested in him he said the ravens miami raiders and the jets the sean saulsberry came on and they asked him who would be the best fit for him and he said miami and that they should trade ricky for him

After watching Nublar's video of the 2005 season (for the 5th time) I'm comfortable with Frerotte as our 2006 QB. He made some damn good throws, he won our last 7 games (i don't wanna hear "Sage won us some of those"), and It's the first year Chris Chambers went to the pro bowl (and you heard the...

Nick Saban seems to me like he wants to set this team up to be succesful for the long term while still keeping it simple. Kind of like the way NE does things. I mean it is fine to want big name players like TO, Bentley, Culpepper, Peterson, Wayne and Clements I am all for it, but at what exspense...

According to CNNSI, the Chargers might let Brees test the free-agent market. I know he's coming off major shoulder surgery but I love Brees and wish the Fins would've drafted him instead of Fletcher...Would you guys want Brees in a Fins uniform???

Cahnnel 7 here in Miami is reporting that Damian McIntosh has been arrested by the Davie police. Charges not known just yet. Think Saban will keep him around now?

http://sports-att.espn.go.com/nfl/powerranking?season=2002&week=7 I was just loafing around ESPN and came across this somehow. Thought it would harken some positive memories for some of us with boredom on the mind. Here's to hoping we'll be back there soon!
