Title: A couple of other questions about the Jets game
Post by: dolphins4life on September 11, 2008, 12:09:28 pm
1)  Why is Dave Bess returning kicks?  I know Ginn struggled with punts, but still, he's better at returning kicks than Bess.  Why not use Ginn as much as we can?

2)  If Dave Martin and Fasano keep performing the way they did on Sunday, could we use both in a two tight end offense?  Or could we trade one for a draft pick?

3)  We are gearing for a playoff run in 2009 right?  Who is our quarterback for that run?  Pennington?  or Henne?  If Pennington isn't going to be our quarterback in 2009, how long do we give him before we turn it over to Beck?

4) Camarillo made some nice plays in the game.  Does he fit into future plans?

I would say atleast until he is physically unable to make it on the field.

1.) Ginn is our #1 WR.  We don't need to have our #1 WR on the field returning punts when Davone Bess isn't that much of a downgrade in the return game.

2.) You always want 2 decent TE's but I doubt David MArtin is worth anything.

3.) Pennington is our QB until he can't or doesn't want to be anymore.  Henne might be the future, but I see no rush to get either of them on the field until the WIN the job.

4.) Camarillo could develop into the next Wes Welker, but I doubt he'll ever be anything more than a slot receiver in this league.

I agree with everything you said, however if Ginn is going to be the #1 receiver he needs to start playing like one.

I don't know if that's the claim, but NO, I don't think we are. We should be much better in 2009, for sure, but a lot of talent will have to be drafted that year to get there... and the talent from this years' draft has to work out (looks promising, though).

I see us winning 8 or 9 games next year if things work out VERY well. Sure, we could mortgage our future and make a run at the playoffs, but it just wouldn't be worth it - and it isn't Parcells' style. To get to 10+ wins next year (i.e. a playoff spot) without selling out, we need to find a true playmaker. Someone like Troy Polamalu, Steve Smith, Freeney, Hester etc. PLUS everything else has to work out very well. Someone who can single handedly change a game.

We might, but the odds aren't exactly good. Personally, I would be thrilled with 6 wins this year, 8-9 next and 10-11 in 2010.

So, bottom line, I don't see how this ISN'T a 3 year project.
