Now that the smoke has cleared and the fat has been trimmed off the roster, here is what I see from this team. Quarterback - If he remains healthy, Chad Pennington will offer steady play. He will take care of the ball, keep the chains moving and provide leadership and grit to this offense. That being said, he isn't going to take over games or carry the team on his back by himself. A caretaker QB who won't lose you games and has enough savvy to make plays in crunch time. Running back - More... Read Full Story

Big Dave/Phinfever MySpace QB Josh McCown Traded To Carolina So much for the JOSH MCCOWN quarterback experiment in Miami. FOX Sports' Alex Marvez is reporting that the Dolphins have traded him to the Carolina Panthers. This is another black eye to the free agent offensive talent evaluation process that also brought in WR Ernest Wilford who has not shown much of anything that he did at Jacksonville. What is tough about this is that we signed McCown to a 2 year, $6.25 million contract with a... Read Full Story

OK , I for one do not buy into preseason hype. Going 3-1 is better than 1-3 but you guys know I am not one to start drinking the kool aid. Now we have our first 2 games against the Jets & Cardinals , 2 teams who I think like us , plain & simple are just not that good. We have to get out of these games 2-0. As for the jets , this turn around has gotta start by first winning our home games against division opponents when the game counts. What I mean by that is beating the Jets in week 1...

The Dolphins play the Saints tonight and you can bet some guys will be selling out big time to make a final roster spot. Safety Keith Davis was released just yesterday. Davis was part of an early round of Free Agent signings by the new regime, but lately the talk has been about how Chris Crocker has looked lately. Jason Allen was initially starting and we have heard some good things about Renaldo Hill, who actually played well when he was healthy and starting the past couple of years... Read Full Story

Big Dave/Phinfever MySpace A couple of times last week you heard the game announcers state that Ricky had a large hole to run through on the right side. You know that I am talking about RG Donald Thomas. What is so surprising about our rookie is that he was a 6th round draft pick that was successfully evaluated. He was the second of 3 6th round draft picks sandwiched in between RBs Jalen Parmele and Lex Hilliard. I have to say that it is very refreshing to have a 2nd day draft pick worth... Read Full Story

The unfortunate news of JTs' injury this wknd reminds me of just how things have changed, including our perceptions of players and the team in general. A statement JT made during his recent 1-to-1 with Warren Sapp struck me as indicative of what the offseason has meant in terms of philosophy, direction and desire for this team. When asked about missing camp, his reply was 'I know what my body needs to get in shape'. The simple meaning of a statement like that is "I don't want to go through... Read Full Story

In their dressed rehearsal, the third game of the preseason, the rebuilding Dolphins dominated a rebuilding Kansas City Chiefs team, beating them 24-0. The Dolphins starting defense has not allowed a score in 5 quarters and the run defense shut down Larry Johnson, holding him to 36 yards on 13 carries. But the pass defense was swarming as well, with 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and a forced fumble. Matt Roth appears to have found his niche at the outside linebacker position, getting pressure...

Big Dave/Phinfever MySpace Cool Phinfever Happenings I am very sure that you have noticed that the site has gone down. In fact it seems to go down once a day. We are getting a lot of traffic to the site, but our Dedicated Server should be man enough to handle the traffic. We really think that some of the issues are database and E107 related. We just do not have the genius abilities that Nate had when it comes to playing with E107. That is why we are hopeful that the new look that you will... Read Full Story

The Dolphins traded former fourth rounder Travis Daniels. During the past 3 seasons Daniels has not been able to take advantage of his few starting opportunities. I can remember being at the Raiders game last year and Culpepper picking on Daniels for 2 long scores. Daniels doesn’t react fast enough to plays while in zone coverage and he gets burned man to man. He seems better suited to Safety, but could not take advantage of his starting opportunities there either. I like how the Phins... Read Full Story
