Apparently, his knee has exploded.

SHIT

That is bad.

Really bad.

I'll probably take heat on this...but why couldn't this have happened the week "before" he was set to sign the large contract? Don't get me wrong, I hope Camarillo recovers and continues to make big catches for the Phins, but this shit just seems to happen too often right after the ink dries.

^^^

I'm sure that no one is more pissed about it than Greg Camarillo himself. The guy is a class act.

look at it this way: he's going to miss 5 games.  Not that big a deal.  He'll be back next season.

That is very pessimistic of you.  I hope he misses more than 5 games and be back next season.

  A "knee explosion" would be the type of injury Daunte Culpepper suffered.  Greg tore his ACL.  Might want to your choose words a little more carefully, next time.

Of course he is.

:(

Thank GOD Best has learned to run some routes.  He's coming on a little bit.

I'd agree with you, Stroke, 9 times out of 10, but in his case, he was making league minimum.  I think it's still worth it for us, and the guy deserved it.

Injuries are part of the NFL and the NFL is a business.  So, I don't fault you for being cold-hearted about it.

Had he been slacking up to this point, signed and then got nuked I would agree.  But he'll be fine next season and he is the type of guy Miami needs on this team - a bulldog attitude that isn't afraid to get dirty.

I was actually about to post a more concise synopsis of the injury. Here: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9495

However, at the time of my original post, the injury was not specified: the only information I had was that his knee was injured and that he was done for the season. So I just picked a word which sounded grisly, because season-ending knee injuries ARE grisly.

I just hate to see the "sign and ouch" happen to the Phins or the Niners...and hope the Camel comes back just as good as he was.

LOL, that dream ended yesterday

I really hate that this happened as I like Camarillo and I do hate to see someone signed to a contract they earned and then get hurt ... but speaking of getting our $$$ worth out of a player how about getting Wilford's @$$ on the field and making him at least work a sweat.

I don't care if they line him up and just make him run deep routes every play or make him run some slot through the middle ... but if he's gonna collect a check then he outta be getting dirty. At least put him on special teams and make him run down people making 10x less then him.

We probably will now, with Camarillo down.

Sparano talked a little bit about Wilford at Web Weekend.  He said that Wilford has been doing fine, but that it's all about the # of plays.  ...that Wilford wasn't going to be giving you help on defense or special teams, so that they just couldn't justify dressing him and taking away a spot from someone who'd be contributing elsewhere.

So where do you go from here?  Bring in another receiver or activate Earnest Wilford?  And if Wilford somehow lights it up these last five games, what do you do then?

i don't really think we need to bring in another receiver for only 5 more games.  let the young guys develop.  because we haven't been rushing him, bess is doing well.  he's made some amazing snags and is going to be a BEAST.  it's time for him to take another step up.

We have seen that Camarillo is the real deal.  Now it'll be nice to be able to put the starting job out there for some of the other youngsters.  Let them settle into their own and really find out if they have the potential.  Wilford, Bess and London.

Of course being a Umass alum, I would love to see the fins use London some more.  He is a good receiver and will impress, though he still has some work to compete at this level.

I see London and Bess Getting Most of those reps..The Teams seems to like London alot...I think the Big thing is Going to Be if Bess and Ginn both start....We probably wont be throwing a lot on first down, after a Kick return....They'll both be winded...

I think it's a big loss for the team this year...but One if He never gets back to healthy wont kill us....

I don't see how Bess could possibly be used in the same role as Camarillo, which - to put it bluntly - is running a hook, grabbing Pennington's soft lob, and getting immediately slammed from behind. Only a special bread of player can hold on to the ball, let alone take that kind of punishment repeatedly.

Bess should start.  He has been showing some glimpses of his ability already in limited play.

My prayers go out Camarillo and I hope he makes a full recovery! We need more players like him. He reminded me a lot of Wes, it takes alot  of guts to go across the middle in the NFL. I hope to see him next year !!!

WERD!

I've seen Bess do that when he gets the ball.

You'll also probably see a lot more of David Martin and Fasano.  The two have been noticeably absent in recent weeks.  Martin made a couple of plays against New England but they are coming awfully few and far between, same with Fasano.
