Sparano mulling tight-end decision

Dolphins coach Tony Sparano is a lineman at heart, so it's not surprising that he's struggling with which of the five tight ends in camp to keep on the final 53-man roster.

this is off topic....but.....

bowens, madison, cross, jensen, and lamar smith.

what do all these Dolphins have in common?

They're all listed in the top 50 Phins of all time....

and NONE of them could hold Don McNeal's JOCKSTRAP!!!

What is up with the Sentinel and McNeal???????

The TE's all stink.

I am a bit young in that the first game I truly remember was the Super Bowl against the Redskins....and I remember my family hollering at Don McNeal for not tackling Riggins..lol..maybe he gets a bad rap because of that? Dunno...like I said I dont remember much about the guy, but I dont remember him being a star. Am I wrong? I always thought of him in the same class as Lankford and Judson(man I dont miss them) LOL!! Decent but not stars....Judson actually had more career picks...just my opinion anyway. I think all of the above players with the exception of Lamar Smith deserve spots in front of McNeal.

Ahh Roger, good to see you have not been deported yet. On a more serious note, I think you are being a bit pessimistic. Fasano may blossom this year into a great tight end...finally out of the shadow of Witten. He had some impressive preseasons in Dallas and with Pennington now running the show, his lack of downfield throwing may lead to more passes to the tight end. I dont feel you are correct in saying he "stinks".

[Wow]

Too much time on your hands Roger

Only their jockstraps and I'm sure you have inside info on that. Loser.

Justin Peele has shown that he can block, catch, run, etc. How David Martin remains ahead of him is a mystery to me. Sean Ryan has not impressed as a receiver, but I thought he was brought in here to be a run blocker - similar to when we used Hunter Goodwin. Martin is not a good blocker and has never really showed that he was that great of a receiver...
