He was signed 2 days ago by the Jags. A replacement for Stroud who is suspended for juice.

Yeah that’s a pretty bad sign for Booker. I'll tell you what; this regime does not give a crap about how the fans view this team. Why don't they explain any of their actions with a strait forward answer? Are you going to play John Beck? Blaa blaa blaa I don’t have the answer to that. Ok?....Well, what about Lorenzo Booker, why don't you play him? Blaa blaa blaa we have a package for him but...Blaa? Seriously let’s get on the ball here folks.

Please allow me to suggest that it is simply not in the best interests of the Dolphins for the coach or GM to be perfectly forthright with the fans. If you were a player struggling for some reason -- perhaps you have an inferior intellect or an undisclosed injury or physical problem or drug problem -- you wouldn't want the coach to blab this to the media. I'm not saying that any of those hypothetical problems applies to any specific player, but in general, why would the team want to disclose to the competetion that some guy is hurt or not up to speed in some way? That could lead to other teams exploiting the knowledge on the field. If down the road we wanted to trade a player, it wouldn't help if we have admitted the guy's weaknesses in the press. Do you think the Patriots would tell their fans why they aren't playing some guy?

Fans get very emotionally invested in their team, which is great, but fans are not owed information, and they certainly aren't owed deference, as in making decisions to placate the fan base. Fans ARE owed the best possible effort to field the best possible team. Unfortunately, this usually means shielding information from the public because it is not in the team's competitive interest to disclose secrets that other teams might benefit from.

Too late. We went out and signed anohter useless player. I'm suprised we didn't give up a 3rd round draft pick for him.

I am starting to question some of Camerons calls. Mainly not using timeouts at the end of the half. Also I can understand why Beck wasnt the starter prior to the Bye week. The thing Im confused on is why L Booker hasnt been played at all????
I keep flashing back to a Cameron interview/qoute where he said the ability/play of Ginn and Hagan allowed the team to trade Chambers. He went on to praise them and challenge them to step up their games.
Im really leery of the fact that Hagan,Ginn Jr., L Booker means that they are mediocre talent at best...yikes!
