2009 NFL Season Thread

[matches]

I was just talking to my friend about how every year it seems like there's always a game where as a Dolphin fan you have to route for the Jets. At least it's usually against the Patriots.

Matches, There are...2 things I fault Miami coaches for. Not inserting Brian Hartline with the starters, alongside Camarillo, and the other rookie Patrick Turner. They also have not found enough time for...Cameron Wake. Wake has only started 2 or 3 games, and he seems to have great pass rushing skills. Hartline, just makes plays, whenever he is given a chance (which is not often). He is one of Miami's tallest receivers, and he just seems to be open, whenever he is on the field. He might at least become a steady #2 receiver, if he gets enough of a chance. I would drop...Ginn as a starting WR, and have Camarillo, Hartline, and fellow rookie...Patrick Turner. Sure...Davone Bess is solid, but he is almost a clone of Camarillo,and the Dolphins do not need...2 possesion receivers in the starting line up. Patrick Turner could either be a boom or a bust, but until he plays we will never know. Hartline, Turner, and Haynos would give Miami enough size at the WR/TE positions. Hartline is 6'2, Turner is 6'5, and Haynos is 6'8.

I think Bess fits well at the slot with Camarillo and Hartline as the 1 and 2, but there's got to be a reason we haven't seen Patrick Turner at all. The Dolphins are definitely in the race for the worst receivers and I would think that if Turner had anything at all he'd already be getting his shot. I agree that more time is needed for Wake. Every time he gets on the field he collapses the pocket almost as soon as the ball's snapped. With Ferguson getting hurt he'll probably get his shot.
