The New England Patriots had thier 21 game regular season winning streak ended yesterday by none other than the Miami Dolphins. The previously winless Dolphins not only beat the Patriots, but they spanked the Patties 38-13 in Foxboro. I don’t think this is the last lump New England takes this year rather just a sign of things to come. Belichick will do all he can to bring the best strategy to the table each week, but let’s face it the defense is old and Brady is on the shelf.

We won’t have to wait until this coming Saturday to hear the announcement because Miami has already signed Jake Long as their number one pick. Long an offensive linemen out of Michigan received a 5-year $57.5 million deal with $30 million of guaranteed cizassh. I like the move by the Dolphins for the pure fact that they weren’t going to sign McFadden or Ryan so it came down to going with the best offensive linemen in the draft or one of the top defensive linemen like Chris Long, Glenn Dorsey or Vernon Gholston. Ultimately it appears Miami felt it was top priority to go the offensive line route and Jake Long should be able to immediately step in and help protect Miami’s quarterback and open holes for Ronnie Brown.

Now that Bill Parcells is in charge and after going 1-15 this season did you expect anything else?

Today is an excellent day because we no longer have to worry about the Dolphins going without a win in the exact same season the Patriots could go undefeated. The Dolphins defeated the Ravens 22-16 in overtime after Matt Stover of the Ravens earlier missed a feld goal to win the game. Dolphins fans received one Christmas wish early and now we will have to wait and see if the Patriots lose a game for them to get their other. Congratulations Miami! You deserve this bright spot after enduring a horrible season to date.

It’s not often there is a big trade before the NFL trade deadline, but this one should have some impact. The San Diego Chargers traded a second round pick next year to the struggling Dolphins in order to acquire veteran wide receiver Chris Chambers. Chambers played for the Wisconsin Badgers and was drafted by Dolphins in 2001. Chamber’s best year was in 2005 when he caught 82 balls for over 1,100 yards and 11 touchdowns. Chambers and Vincent Jackson along with Antonio Gates at tight end should give Rivers a solid receiving corps. Agree?

I’m sure by now most of you have heard Trent Green experienced yet another concussion yesterday afternoon against the Houston Texans. Green was attempting a block on defensive tackle Travis Johnson when he took a knee to the head knocking him out cold. Green laid motionless on the field while Travis Johnson decided to taunt him for what he felt was an illegal. Check out the video clip below and tell me Johnson isn’t a complete jackass for his actions.

On another note this could be the last time Trent Green plays in the NFL due to so many head traumas.

Ricky Williams has applied for reinstatement to the NFL based on his agent Leigh Steinberg. Williams has particpated in only twelve games since the start of the 2004 season due to four different violations of the NFL drug policy. The league and Roger Goodell now have roughly 60 days to make a decision on whether they will reinstate Ricky to the NFL. Ricky is currently under contract with the Dolphins, but Coach Cameron has announced he will not comment at this time. We would like to predict if…and that is a big if…Goodell reinstates Williams the 0-4 Dolphins will keep Williams under contract. This running back hasn’t had much wear and tear in the last two years and with all his yoga classes he has to be in good shape.

It has only taken a million references of the rumor on ESPN Sportscenter and two months longer than expected, but Trent Green is now finally a Miami Dolphin. The Dolphins gave up a five round draft pick in 2008 to receive veteran starting quarterback Trent Green who had many sucessfull years in Kansas City. The Dolphins have been without a solid quarterback for a LONG time so can Trent be the savior of South Beach???

The answer is…..YES if he has truly recovered from the awful hit he received last year against the Bengals that led to a bad concussion. The Dolphins will win a wild-card berth to the NFL playoffs this year.

Please Miami take me back!!!

Earlier in the week we reported Miami was in negotiations with Mike Shula as a possible new coach for the Dolphins. It seems those negotiations were nothing more than Huizenga showing Don Shula respect because the Dolphins have a new coach and his last name isn’t Shula. Cam Cameron the former offensive coordinator for the San Diego Chargers has accepted the job. He led the Chargers to the fourth best offense this season and a 14-2record which was tops in the NFL. San Diego’s offense was nearly two times the output of the 2006 Dolphins. Also, Cameron has either played for, worked with or studied under Bo Schembechler, Marty Schottenheimer, Lee Corso, Sam Wyche and Tom Landry. All in all this looks like a solid choice and hopefully he can rejuvenate one of the historic NFL franchises.
