Guest guyman1966 Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 MIAMI--Searching for answers after his team’s 0-4 start, Dolphins coach Cam Cameron is said to be “seriously considering†holding daily practice sessions between games. The result would be better-prepared players and a game plan designed specifically to counter the strengths and weaknesses of each individual opponent.“Whatever we’re doing just isn’t working, and it’s up to me as the head coach to get us on the right track,†said Cameron, following his team’s 35-17 loss to the Raiders. “Unfortunately, the only way to do that may be to get everybody – coaches and players – to come in here four or fives times a week to watch film and practice playing football. Obviously this team can’t handle the responsibility of preparing for the games on their own.†Among the many benefits of daily practices, says Cameron, will be the ability of the coaches to communicate the game plan to the players. “Getting together in between games will allow us to tell the players directly what they’re supposed to do when they take the field,†he said. “Then when Sunday rolls around and they are on the field, they can think back to practice and apply what they learned there. We can also have them do push ups and jumping jacks and stuff to build up their stamina. If that doesn’t work, I don’t know what to do. Honestly, I’ll be out of ideas.†Currently, the Dolphins strategy is to meet every Sunday morning for breakfast and a brief introduction to that week’s opponent. A team prayer follows and then the players take the field and begin stretching exercises. During the game, Cameron and the rest of his coaches scream out instructions while the play is in progress. “It’s a different strategy than what I’m used to,†said quarterback Trent Green. “On my old team, the coaches would give me a play that I had practiced dozens of times and I would execute it. With Cam, he just screams ‘Hike!’ and then says ‘Throw it to the tight end!’ or ‘Hand it to Ronnie!’ or ‘Run for your life!' As a player, it gets extremely confusing. On the other hand, it’s nice not to have to go to practice. We practiced every day in Kansas City last year and it was a big fucking waste of time.†On the defensive side of the ball, the Dolphins are in shambles. The Raiders rushed for 299 yards on Sunday against the normally stout Miami defense, with second stringer Justin Fargas rumbling for a career-high 174. Could regularly-scheduled practices be the answer for the beleaguered unit? “I would be open to practicing once in a while,†said linebacker Joey Porter. “When I was with Pittsburgh, we would do it all the time, and we would also play these little practice games where we would pretend it was Sunday and execute the game plan in like a dress rehearsal type thing. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not a cure-all for our problems, but at least we’ll have some idea what we’re doing out there. In fact, if we start practicing, I guarantee Justin Fargas will run for less than 174 yards next time he faces us. And you can print that.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Davenavarro10 Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 The Dolphins are an embarrassment. They haven't been tothe playoffs in years. And they sure as hell won't be goingthis season with their 0-6 record. I kind of feel sorry fora talented player like Jason Taylor. He should've left theteam long ago. Because of his loyalty to the fins, he will never get a Superbowl ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor is an idiot for actually honoring his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LeVeL Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 My Sea Chickens have a winning record this year thank you very much.....unlike your winless Sardines...A winning record is just that a winning record, your Seahawks are not going anywhere this year. At least if your a bad team you get to have an early draft pick.What a huge mistake to trade Chambers through, I am sure he will help the Chargers Offense.

Guest swirlundergrounder Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 A winning record is just that a winning record, your Seahawks are not going anywhere this year. That's what you all said last year and they almost beat Chicago at Soldier Field to get into the NFC Championship game with a QB who had a broken hand and a running back with a broken foot..
