Finally something to report about pertaining to the Miami Dolphins.
According to this tweet by @incarceratedbob, the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots have been the most aggressive in the past two days in trying to move up in the draft.
The Dolphins have scheduled a workout with Blaine Gabbert, so we likely could see them make a push to pick him or Cam Newton.
This is surprising news to a lot of us because we were expecting Miami to want to trade down in the draft instead of trading up to the top 8 range.
A trade up could mean trading future draft picks, which I believe is a huge mistake and an unnecessary risk. Hopefully the Dolphins don't end up doing this, but it is very possible so don't be surprised if it happens.
Let me know what you guys think. I will be traveling, but I will keep you posted if something comes up whenever possible.
Thanks for reading.

Miami Dolphins Work Out OLB Rashad Jeanty
Finally some news.
According to Omar Kelly of the Sun Sentinel, the Miami Dolphins worked out linebacker Rashad Jeanty on Monday. Miami was stop number one of eight for Jeanty.
The Dolphins and Jeanty do not currently have any type of contract in the works, but that may have more to do with the fact that the CBA will expire than anything else.
Jeanty isn't a big name player, and he doesn't have many great stats to speak of, but Miami may be looking to bring in an LB that will be able to step in and replace Channing Crowder in the near future. Crowder's contract will expire in two years, so maybe Jeanty could come in and be ready to replace him if the Dolphins elect not to re-sign Crowder.
From what I gather about Jeanty on his scouting reports, he won't be much more than a consistent contributor, but that could be a good thing for the Dolphins. Not every defender needs to be a star player, and I think he could fit in well with the likes of Karlos Dansby and Cameron Wake.
I know that Jeanty is an outside linebacker, but with a little work I think he could be able to pass Channing Crowder and play on the inside. Crowder isn't exactly the best ILB out there, so we could always use some improvement.
We actually don't even know if Jeanty could be any better than Crowder, but it would be worth taking a chance because Jeanty would be a cheap free agent prospect.
We will see if Miami and Jeanty do come to some sort of agreement that Rashad will sign with the Dolphins when a new CBA is in place, so stay tuned.
Thanks for reading, and let me know what you think about Jeanty and him being a possible replacement for Channing Crowder.

Confirmation: Yes, The Miami Dolphins Will Address The QB Position For Next Season
According to Omar Kelly's Twitter post, the Miami Dolphins are going to address their QB problems in 2011.
Here is the exact post written by Kelly:
I think that there is a good chance that the Dolphins will get Ryan Mallett if they are willing to pick him in the first round, which would be a great move in my opinion. I highly doubt that Mallett will end up being picked before Miami has a chance to get him at 15, and I really hope that the Dolphins will consider taking him.
Thanks for checking in on Super Bowl Sunday. I hope you guys enjoy watching the game, and hopefully next year the Dolphins will be in the same position as the Steelers and Packers.
P.S. I love comments, so don't be shy!

Good News For The Miami Dolphins? DeAngelo Williams Likely Not Happy With The Carolina Panthers
According to the Charlotte Observer, the Carolina Panthers have informed their Running Backs Coach Jim Skipper that they will be going in a different direction that doesn't involve him.
This could potentially be good news for the Miami Dolphins. The following was in an article at the Charlotte Observer's website:
Note that Williams has not said anything about the matter since November, but that could still be very good news for the Miami Dolphins because it increases the chances that Williams won't be with the Panthers next season.
Let's cross our fingers and hope that the Panthers don't just place a franchise tag on Williams.
Let's also hope that the NFLPA and the NFL reach a new CBA soon so we can get back to football and the offseason.

Miami Dolphins To Release Will Allen In More Than Just A Smart Business Decision
I like this move for two main reasons. The first is that they will save $5.5 million next year, which would have been the second highest salary for a Dolphin next season.
Another reason I like this move is that it shows that Miami's coaches and staff have faith in the young corners on the team.
We all knew that Vontae Davis was one of the best cornerbacks in the league, but there were some questions about the team's second corner: Sean Smith. Smith fit the second corner role very well in the second half of the season after being benched at the beginning of the season, and the Dolphins appear to be confident enough in Smith's ability that they don't feel the need to hold on to Allen anymore.
Most of you guys probably don't know this, but I am a huge Sean Smith fan. Some of you who have been reading my blog since the beginning of the season will remember me talking about him, but those of you newcomers may not know.
The fact that the Dolphins are showing faith in Smith's abilities makes me happy because he is a very talented cornerback with a lot of potential, and his height is definitely a plus.
The move also tells us that Miami's other young corners have developed well enough that they don't need Allen's help anymore. This is a good sign because, while our offense doesn't seem to be making progress, at least we know our defense has been progressing along well.
So, while it may just seem like a business decision to release Allen, it is actually a vote of confidence by the team to a young secondary.
Thanks for reading, and let me know what you think about the move.

The Miami Dolphins Must Not Pursue Carson Palmer
I am not sure whether or not Stephen Ross, Jeff Ireland, and Tony Sparano are actually considering whether or not to try and bring in current Bengals QB Carson Palmer, but I really hope they aren't.
Palmer has been able to put up good numbers throughout his career, but he just hasn't been able to win. He has never won a playoff game after 8 years in the NFL, and bringing him in would only provide a one or two year (at best) bandage for Miami's quarterback woes.
Not only that, but it would keep Miami from a shot at a bunch of other really good quarterback prospects available this offseason. It would be a waste of an opportunity if the Dolphins just decided to settle for Palmer instead of going after a better player like Ryan Mallett, Cam Newton, Kevin Kolb, or Vince Young.
Bengals owner Mike Brown has said that he doesn't want to trade Palmer, but I doubt that he will actually try and force Palmer into retirement. He will try and trade Palmer for some type of value instead of just losing him.
So, cross your fingers Miami Dolphins fans, and hope that we don't hear Carson Palmer and the Miami Dolphins mentioned together in the news at all in the next few months.
Thanks for reading and please be sure to leave your comments.

Miami Dolphins Give Jeff Ireland A Contract Extension
Jeff Ireland has received a multi-year contract extension as the General Manager for the Miami Dolphins according to their website. They did not say how many years the contract extension added on, but I have a feeling we will see Ireland here for a while.
I know many people don't believe in Ireland, but I think he has done a pretty good job bringing in players. With the exception of Chad Henne and a few other draft mistakes, Ireland has been able to bring in a lot of hidden talent as evidenced by players like Cameron Wake and Davone Bess.
He also played a part in bringing in the talent Miami has at defense. I am not sure how much of a role he played, but I feel like he had to have a good bit of influence when it came to bringing in talent.
I know Ireland hasn't always had the best past (i.e. the Dez Bryant mother accusations), but I feel like he has been a good GM since he's been here.
There is also the problem of his relationship with Tony Sparano. I have heard a lot of talk about them not liking and not have a good relationship with each other. Even Tony acknowledged in the roundtable discussion announcing his own extension that he expected their to be arguments between the two, but he also said that those arguments were a good thing and that they were necessary to be productive.
So, until we start hearing about the two arguing about things other than football, I don't see a problem with it.
Let me know what you guys think about giving Ireland the extension. I know many of you dislike him pretty strongly, so tell me why.
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Multiple Mock Drafts Have The Miami Dolphins Drafting Mark Ingram, But Should They?
 |
| Please Tony, Draft Ryan Mallett |
I have been stressing for a few weeks now that the Dolphins need to take a quarterback with their first pick, and I still believe that to be the case. Mel Kiper may be the most informed and intelligent person in the country when it comes to the NFL Draft, but he doesn't know as much about the Miami Dolphins, specifically, which is why I think he is wrong that the Dolphins will get Ingram.
All Kiper sees are Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams leaving, so he figures they should worry about replacing them first. What he may not realize is how much Chad Henne has hurt Miami this year. It is much more crucial for the Dolphins to draft or trade for a quarterback with their first pick. By trading for a quarterback with their first pick, I mean trading the pick to a team like the Eagles for Kevin Kolb.
There will always be good running back talent with high potential available later in the draft, but that isn't normally the case at quarterback. Almost always, the good quarterbacks with the best potential will be taken in the first round, and the Dolphins need to make sure they pick up one of those guys.
My clear favorite candidate of the quarterbacks in this year's NFL Draft is Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett. I would rather Mallett over both Cam Newton and Blaine Gabbert. I know many of you will disagree with me on that one, but I am confident that Mallett will be the best NFL quarterback of this draft class.
The reason I would take Mallett over Gabbert is that Gabbert has been in a spread offense in college, and successful spread offense quarterbacks almost never translate into successful NFL quarterbacks.
I would take Mallett over Newton because Newton had to rely too much on his feet in college, which he won't be able to do in the NFL. I understand that he is still a good passer, but I fear that the temptation to run will be too much for him to avoid. NFL athletes are much, much faster and stronger than NCAA athletes, and Newton won't be able to be nearly as explosive because of that. I also just don't get a good feeling about him in the NFL. I know that he is supremely talented, but for some reason I just don't see him doing well in the NFL.
As for Mallett, I think he will be the best QB of this class because of his big arm and intensity. Mallett can make every pass in the NFL that he will ever need to make, hands down. He can make extremely tough passes with immaculate accuracy and make it look easy. He is also an extremely passionate and fiery competitor. His footwork needs improvement, and his decision-making isn't always the best because he is a little too confident in his arm, which is why he is considered #3 in the Draft, but I still think he is better than Newton and Gabbert despite his weaknesses.
As you guys can tell, I love Mallett, and I am thinking that he deserves to be ranked higher than he is. It would be a huge mistake for the Miami Dolphins to pass up him for Ingram with the 15th pick. Not that Ingram isn't a great running back, but I think Miami needs to worry about their quarterback first.
Thanks for reading, and tell me who you think Miami should get as well as your reaction to what I have said, because I know a lot of other people think differently.

I May Have Spoken Too Soon About Miami Dolphins Offensive Coordinator Brian Daboll
I will admit that I may have spoken too soon about the Miami Dolphins Offensive Coordinator Brian Daboll before I even got the chance to hear him talk.
I watched his introductory Press Conference with the Miami Dolphins, and I have to say that I am pretty impressed by him and his intensity.
You could just tell how intense and passionate he is about the game of football and his job by how he spoke and his body language throughout the conference.
We do not know yet what his offensive style will be this year, but I am more confident that whatever style it is will end up being successful. When a coach is fiery like Daboll, the players will reflect that intensity when they play. They will also tremendously respect him.
Players love to see a coach that will be just as passionate and energetic as them. Just watch this video to see a little bit about his energy:
While it was really funny to see him fall, it still shows us a little bit about Daboll as a coach. He is one of those coaches that chest bumps and high-fives his players, and that type of enthusiasm is contagious.
I will say again that I am not sure about his coaching style, but I still believe in Daboll more than when I was first learning about him because of his passion. It is hard not to be at least somewhat successful with that kind of passion, which is why I am more confident in him.
We will see how he does. The Miami Dolphins could still very well end up being unproductive and terrible again, but that might not be the case after.
I have also included Daboll's press conference for those of you who have the time to watch it. It is just under 10 minutes long, and you can just watch the second half of the video if you just want to see Daboll.
Thanks for reading, and let me know what you think about Daboll with a comment.

Yes, It Can Get Worse: Miami Dolphins QB Chad Pennington Will Try To Return And Play In The NFL
I thought the hiring of Brian Daboll was pretty bad news, but this makes things even worse.
He is an impending free agent, but I am willing to bet that the Miami Dolphins will attempt to re-sign him.
Let me first say that this is not bad news because Chad Pennington is a bad quarterback. It is instead bad news because the Miami Dolphins may decide to rely on him as their starter for the 2011-2012 season, which is not something we want them to do.
Chad Pennington is a pretty good quarterback, but he isn't good enough to justify starting when there are so many other great quarterback candidates with great potential that will be available for Miami to get instead.
What makes Pennington coming to Miami even more likely is that he has a very good relationship with Miami's new Offensive Coordinator Brian Daboll, which can only be bad news for us Dolphins fans that want a new quarterback.
Daboll may just elect to start Pennington this season because they know each other well and he trusts Pennington. Trust normally isn't a bad thing, but Daboll's trust in Pennington will not have a favorable result.
If Brian Daboll decides to start Pennington, not only will he not do well, but he also won't be able to last more than a few games without hurting his shoulder again.
We all saw how quickly Pennington re-injured his shoulder and how little it took. What will happen when he lands really hard on it?
If Pennington gets injured as the starter, then the Dolphins would have to put Chad Henne in because they wouldn't have pursued another quarterback after thinking that they would've been able to rely on Chad Pennington.
This also hurts Miami because now they won't be able to hire him as their quarterbacks coach. I don't know whether Pennington would have been willing to coach if he retired from playing, but I still think he would have been really good at coaching if he decided to. Now we know he won't be coaching, so the Dolphins will have to find a new candidate to coach their QBs.
All in all, Pennington coming back hurts Miami. Not only will he probably end up still playing for the Dolphins, but he also won't be able to coach for them.
Thanks for reading, and please let me know what you think about Pennington's decision in the comments below.

| Guess Who's Back |
Two-time NFL Comeback Player of the Year QB Chad Pennington has announced that he plans on returning to play another season in the NFL after having yet another season-ending shoulder injury in 2010.

The Miami Dolphins Will Hire Brian Daboll, But Who Is He?
 |
| Say Hello To Your New Offensive Coordinator |
Brian Daboll, who the Dolphins are going to sign within the next 24 hours, might just be the worst candidate.
After doing a little bit of research, guess what I found out.
Daboll's offense last year was worse than the Miami Dolphins, so instead of improving upon their pathetic offense it looks like the Dolphins will be getting even worse.
The only bright spots on Daboll's resume were RB Peyton Hillis' success last year and his tenure as the Wide Receiver coach for the New England Patriots when they won three Super Bowl Championships. Other than that, I can't find much else that he has done.
Daboll's offense last year was one behind the Dolphins in scoring at 31st in the league. They were the 29th worst passing team and the 20th ranked rushing team. It baffles me why Miami would be willing to hire somebody who was unable to do any better than who they just got rid of.
The Dolphins have not publicly acknowledged the hiring of Daboll yet, so there is still an extremely slim possibility that they won't actually hire Daboll, but I doubt it.
I'll be honest, I may be overreacting a little bit. Daboll got a chance to learn under Bill Belichick from 2002 to 2006, so he probably learned some good stuff while with the Patriots. He also didn't have much to work with this year in Cleveland because the Browns weren't exactly stacked with talent.
With all that considered, I still can't see why Tony Sparano, Jeff Ireland, and Stephen Ross would be willing to hire Daboll. Daboll might be able to build a successful running offense, but that isn't what Stephen Ross wanted. He wanted a better passing offense, and the numbers just don't point to Brian Daboll being the guy that gives Ross what he wants.
I could be wrong, though. Maybe they saw something in Daboll other than just the numbers. I sure hope so, because I hate not being able to watch my Dolphins in the playoffs year after year.
One thing is for sure, I don't expect the hiring of Brian Daboll will help fill any more seats in Sun Life Stadium next year. If anything, it will reduce the number of tickets sold.
All is not lost, though. At least we can be thankful that he will be better than Dan Henning.
Thanks for reading, and let me hear your comments. I know you guys have a whole lot to say about this.

Report: Rob Chudzinski Is Frontrunner For Miami Dolphins Offensive Coordinator Position.
According to Omar Kelly of the Sun Sentinel, current Assistant-Head Coach of the San Diego Chargers Rob Chudzinski is the frontrunner for the Miami Dolphins Offensive Coordinator position.
This comes after news that the Dolphins will be interviewing Brad Childress as a possible candidate for the job. I am relieved to hear that there is a good chance Miami won't hire Childress because I didn't see him helping Miami at all, and I am optimistic about what Chudzinski will be able to do.
Rob Chudzinski has had an incredible history with tight ends, and I think he will be really good at running Miami's offense.
We will see what happens, so stay tuned, and thanks for reading.

Tony Sparano Will Remain Head Coach Of The Miami Dolphins
After what has seemed like the longest 24 hours of waiting for the news of the Miami Dolphins signing Jim Harbaugh to a record contract, it has just come across that Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross has instead decided to keep current Head Coach Tony Sparano as Miami's Head Coach.
According to an ESPN alert, the Dolphins have decided to retain Sparano as their head coach only a few hours after all signs seemed to point at them signing Jim Harbaugh to replace him instead.
While I am not sure yet whether I like the decision to keep Sparano, I do know that I don't like how Stephen Ross handled the whole situation. Ross showed how little faith he had in Tony by flying across the country and offering to pay a huge amount of money in a desperate effort to sign Harbaugh.
Stephen Ross has basically just thrown Tony Sparano into a pile of mud and then offered to pick him back up, all the while acting like nothing has happened and he never threw him in the mud in the first place.
How can Tony Sparano be as productive as we all want him to be if he doesn't believe he has the faith of the owner whose team he is coaching? All the last few days have been is a huge distraction for the Dolphins organization and a confidence (and maybe even a career) killer for Tony Sparano.
I wanted Miami to bring in Harbaugh simply because Tony Sparano had seemed to have been losing a lot of support from people in the organization, and now things have gotten worse because Stephen Ross hasn't shown support for him.
Ross can say all he wants about how he believes in Tony Sparano, but we will all know what lengths he went to to try and get another Head Coach instead of Tony.
The drama is now over, but I am honestly no more satisfied knowing the result than a few hours ago when I didn't know the result. If there was ever a way you wanted to hurt your coaches chances to succeed, that may have been the best option.
The good news in the midst of all of this Head-Coaching drama is that Dolphins Offensive Coordinator Dan Henning has officially stepped down from his position in Miami. We knew this was coming, but it is very satisfying news to finally hear. I am hoping that the Dolphins can bring in Josh McDaniels as Henning's replacement and see what he is able to do.
I know you guys have reactions, so let me hear 'em with your comments.
