As we work our way towards the beginning of summer camp, the veterans of the Dolphins have taken note of some of the rookies and here are some comments from the Miami Herald on some of the young pups. Koa Misi, Nolan Carroll, Jared Odrick, E.J Edds & Austin Spitler have been mentioned by a few veterans as having caught there eye in a positive manner in regards to what they bring to the table. Reshad Jones was also mentioned, but to the extent right now that he seems to be somewhat of a disapointment. A lot will change when the pads go on, but this still is not a good sign for Jones and not the way you want to start your professional career. Read this week that Ricky Williams has been asked to become a team leader and is taking a more active role as a leader on the team. Who would ever have thought this to be the case when Ricky stepped away from the Dolphins and retired from the game in 2004. Ricky always had the talent, but he was also dealing with many demons in his life and a could not keep away from marijuana. To see Ricky and what he has become, a better man, responsible, mature has been a nice thing to see. Ricky Williams is a big key to this Dolphins team along with Ronnie Brown and they form one of the better duos in the NFL. My thoughts on what I have read on Patrick Turner the last few weeks leads me to believe Turner will not be on the 53 man roster when the season begin. He was hurt and missed OTA's a few weeks ago and now just had a procedure performed on his back, although what exactly was done was not revealed by Miami. He is a 3rd round pick from 2009 that did not even see the field for Miami last year, which is stunning when you consider that the Dolphins really needed a wide receiver to step up. Instead, it was 4th round pick Brian Hartline that stepped up and became a big part of the wide receiver rotation and is battling Greg Camarillo to be the starter opposite Brandon Marshall. Now, when he really needs to show some growth and development, he is injured and may not be back for the start of training camp. This gives guys like Julius Pruitt and Ryan Grice-Mullen, guys that can also contribute in special teams a chance to get the 5th wide receiver spot on the team. As we have all seen, there has been a lot of hype around the New York Jets and the buzz is they are considered a serious Super Bowl contender along with the New England Patriots, a fellow AFC East member. Miami is looked at as an improved team, but not enough to challange the Patriots or Jets for the AFC East crown. I guess going 3-1 against the Jets and Patriots combined and sweeping the Jets means little. But you know what, I like that the so called experts and many fans are sleeping on the Dolphins. Just keep overlooking Miami. Download the Free Phinfever Browser Toolbar
