cutdown day

Jeff Darlington from the Miami Herald is reporting that the Dolphins have decided to cut ties with Patrick Turner, and move along this season with Marlon Moore and Roberto Wallace. This means we will go into the season with 5 receiver, Brandon Marshall, Brian Hartline, Davone Bess, Roberto Wallace, and Marlon Moore. With the real lack of deep threat in our receiving core watch out for Marlon Moore to get alot of quality playing time this season

New Miami Hurricanes Nike Pro Combat Uniforms

The new Uniforms will be worn at our home game November 20 vs Virginia Tech. It's a night game so I know the Canes are going to look awesome in their new gear, under the bright lights ! The gloves will remain the same as last years Pro Combat style, with the "U" formed on the inside. What do you guys think of the new look? 

Gators looking clueless as always !

Did Matt Bosher design these ?

Canes to play at Yankee Stadium ?

University of  Miami  has entered talks about playing a football game at Yankee Stadium in 2013.
Hurricanes athletic director Kirby Hocutt met with the Yankees on Tuesday about the possibility. Miami already has five home and five road games scheduled for that year, leaving two slots on its schedule. I hope they don't move the Florida Gators game from Miami up to NY. 
Miami played in the old Yankee Stadium in 1962, losing to Nebraska in     what was the final edition of the Gotham Bowl.

Hard Knocks this year anyone ?

If you're a football junkie like myself, I know you must be a huge fan of HBO's Hard Knocks. This year is going to be a little uncomfortable watching the show because it is going to feature the enemy: THE HATED New York Jets. The past few years I've watched the show and found myself rooting for the young rookies to make the team. It can't be denied, the Jets do have plenty of different characters on the team to make it entertaining.  I hope this year I will be watching the Jets destroy themselves from the inside out! What do you think? Will you even watch the show?

MONDAY NIGHT LIGHTS @ SUNLIFE STADIUM !!!!

MIAMI DOLPHINS: Players that must step up on the Defense

We are a little over a week away from seeing your Miami Dolphins open up their Preseason schedule and I cannot wait. It could be my extreme loyalty and Dolfan heart that is making me believe that this could be the year that potential becomes POWER.

Randy Starks

The Defense, with questions at the Nose Tackle, new starters at Outside Linebacker, and inexperience in the defensive backfield,  I believe got the second best addition of the off season in DC Mike Nolan. We as Dolfans have a lot to worry about, but also also a lot to look forward to.  Randy Starks could either get destroyed by double teams from the guard and center every play or he could completely revolutionize the position. He does not have the "size" of a traditional Nose Guard, but he has the athleticism and strength that no other nose guard in the league possesses. He has had moments where he looks unblockable from the Defensive Tackle position which gives me all the reason to believe that he will do the same at Nose Guard. If it is obvious that the move does not work or he happens to go down with an injury Coach  Nolan will have to immediately switch the defense to a 4-3 base defense or play alot of nickel in the 2-4-5 scheme they've been showing off during training camp.

Cameron Wake

At OLB, I am excited to see Cameron Wake as a full time starter. He had 5 sacks last season with only a quarter of the in game reps. He has to prove that the effort he puts in rushing the passer, he can equal in stopping the run. I like the rookie Koa Misi out of Utah. He is not an overly athletic linebacker, but he is a football player and obviously impressed the man upstairs, Bill Parcells, to earn a 2nd round pick. The wild card in this whole outside linebacker situation has to be Charlie Anderson. A career backup hidden by Joey Porter not wanting to leave the field, Anderson had the opportunity to start against the Tampa Bay Bucs last year and their underrated Offensive Line. He answered the bell and racked up 3 sacks. I believe will get more playing time in this 2010 season. There is one major surprise coming out of training camp. His name is Ike Alama-Francis. He is pushing for playing time and taking alot of reps in camp because of his stout run defense. Coach Nolan asked for him to be moved from DE to OLB in the OTA's and he apparently is blossoming.

Chris Clemons

In the backfield, Sean Smith and Vontae Davis started last year and went though some rough patches but showed enough promise to be excited about.  In Mike Nolan's blitz friendly defense they will get more opportunities at interceptions. We know what what first time Pro Bowler Yeremiah Bell will bring on Sundays, but the free safety position is a huge question mark. My opinion is that you do not need an elite free safety to have a dominant defense, just someone fast enough to not get beat deep and the ability to read and react quickly to what the offense is doing. We will see if Chris Clemons will be able to step up to the plate. He is definitely getting the reps in practice to claim the job as his.
