Fins Nation: A Miami Dolphins Blog With Dick Jokes

Fins-Chiefs Highlights

I think Josh McCown and John Beck should give their hearts to Chad Pennington. Because he could very well be Jesus (Jesus was blond and spoke with an annoying southern twang, right?)

Anyway.... onto the highlights (and there were plenty!)!:

Dolphins Preseason: Fins-Chiefs Keys To the Game

YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME.

Some would say truer words have never been uttered.  Others might say that Herman Edwards is a bonafide gasbag that just recently learned how to use the Internets.  I am one of the latter.

Our team plays again this weekend in the 3rd exhibition game which is, more often than not, the last dress rehearsal before the games start to count. 

After an exhilarating week compared to last week�s total snoozefest, we are once again ready and willing to embrace our Miami Dolphins as a team of destiny.  This week we celebrated a well-played game against a worth adversary (�The man in the black pajamas, Dude�), we wondered about the trade status of John Beck, we welcomed back gimpy Michael Lehan and felt overall pretty damn good about our receivers, secondary and a certain Robot.  In fact, I feel as good about this team as I have in a very long time.  So let�s recap things we�ll keep an eye out for in this sorta-regular-season-y-but-still-preseason contest:

Dolphins Preseason: Fins-Chiefs Keys To the Game

YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME.

Our team plays again this weekend in the 3rd exhibition game which is, more often than not, the last dress rehearsal before the games start to count. 

After an exhilarating week compared to last week’s total snoozefest, we are once again ready and willing to embrace our Miami Dolphins as a team of destiny.  This week we celebrated a well-played game against a worth adversary (“The man in the black pajamas, Dude”), we wondered about the trade status of John Beck, we welcomed back gimpy Michael Lehan and felt overall pretty damn good about our receivers, secondary and a certain Robot.  In fact, I feel as good about this team as I have in a very long time.  So let’s recap things we’ll keep an eye out for in this sorta-regular-season-y-but-still-preseason contest:

Secondary Looking Good

One of the brightest spots of the pre-season so far has been the stellar play of the Fins' secondary. The first-team corners and safeties have pretty much shut down opposing offenses, allowing the d-line to do what it do in the trenches. This has been a pleasant surprise to us all, seeing how last season, this team's DBs were constantly either spontaneously combusting or just having various limbs falling off different players' bodies, or just had the name Jason Allen or Cameron Worrell. Yet now, the unit is coming together nicely. And Tony Sparano concurs:

Before the new regime gets too much credit for some sense of open-mindedness when it comes to the secondary, Sparano admits he was somewhat surprised about the talent that existed within the group when he arrived in Miami.

''When I came here, and we kind of bunkered down there for the first couple weeks and started watching all of this tape, one of the areas that I was the most surprised in was the secondary, I really was,'' Sparano said.

I like the idea of Parcells, Sparano and their coaches having an underground bunker where they plan their worldwide takeover and watch game tape. And, being in a division with Tom Brady, Randy Moss, and Brett Favre, I like what I'm seeing out of this secondary so far. Know what else I like? That's right! I like unicorns and rainbows. No! Wait! Girls! I meant I like girls! Uh...um...uh... look over there! Is that Tony Danza?

Ronnie Brown to be Traded?

Armando Salguero writes in his blog that Black Thunder, aka Ronnie Brown, might be traded by the Dolphins before the regular season starts. Salguero sites ESPN's Chris Mortensen and some off-hand comment he made on the extremely unwatchable Monday Night Countdown last night:

Mortensen was asked about Ricky Williams and [...] he went on to say that the Dolphins are so pleased with Williams he "would not be surprised if Ronnie Brown sinks," to the point where "he is playing with another team this season." Mortensen's reason for Brown being out of here is that the player is "struggling" this preseason.

We all know Parcells isn't crazy about running backs (a hunk of cheese, however, is another story) and Ronnie has looked pretty crappy so far in camp and in pre-season. But unless there's a team dumb enough to give the Fins a first round pick or a high second-rounder, this doesn't make all that much sense.

Also, it's important to remember that our chief sources for this "story" are Armando Salguero and Chris Mortensen, two guys who rely heavily on the enchanting power of imagination and one of those water skiing squirrels for their sources on things like this.
