Greg Cote of the Miami Herald makes a compelling and on the verge, genius, argument for trading Jason Taylor for Brett Favre.

Read the argument here.

Cote forgot that the Dolphins traded for Steve DeBerg at one point. Favre is slightly better.

“Here’s one example of why Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor literally doesn’t have time for the fascinating tension gurgling atop the Dolphins organization between Miami’s star boss and Miami’s star employee:

The other day, Taylor rushed late to a lunch with Denzel Washington. Taylor’s Dancing With the Stars partner kept texting him during that two-hour meal to remind Taylor he was late for rehearsal. So Taylor told Washington that, sorry, he couldn’t go over to a nearby hotel to meet a waiting friend of Washington’s who also wanted an audience with Taylor. That friend was Al Pacino.”

I say let the guy do his thing. He’s more than earned the right and he has to think after football for other avenues.

Comments?

Yes they have to. They have had some tough losses this year.

The Miami Herald is already pushing stats about how nobody has ever gone winless over a full 16 game season.

Texans kicker was one of 3 people to ever hit +50 yard field goals in a game…c’mon.

One of the Miami Dolphins biggest rivals, the Jets, lost one of their all time greats and big third down threat, Wayne Chrebet. He’s reitiring. After 11 years the smallish receiver who was basically a tank that wouldn’t stop is no longer a Jet. Chrebet hurt the Dolphins chances of advancing so many times, I can’t say I’m upset to see him go at all, but Chrebet has our respect, big time.

Here is a link to the story.

The Miami Dolphins took the 16th pick and Nick Saban upgraded by selecting CB Jason Allen out of University of Tennessee. The guy is coming off a hip injury and can either play safety or cornerback. Nick Saban loves height and athleticism. This kid has both, I just think they could’ve gotten someone on defense in the 3rd round.

The selection to me was a little off key. I felt there was too much offensive talent this high in the draft such as WR’S Santonio Holmes [OSU] and Chad Jackson [UF]. 3 Strong RB that could spell Ronnie Brown: Joseph Addai [LSU], Laurence Maroney [Minn.], and DeAngelo Williams [Memphis].

In the 3rd round Nick Saban went for Offense selecting WR Derek Hagan [ASU] a 3time all Pac ten team player. He was a great receiver and made some big catches for this team. He might be the deep threat the Dolphins were looking for, however I think this 3rd round pick will be a bust. One of those journeyman who gave all they had in college. Again I felt they missed the key on this pick. OL Eric Winston was on the board 4 spots before they selected I think he was a potential 1st rounder who slipped they shouldve moved up and solidified another Offensive Line Player.

I give the 16th pick a C- I don’t think he will be a starter and when you draft that high you must draft a starter.
I give the 82nd pick a C+ The guy can catch , just dont think hes a deep threat. Again not a starter.

I personally wouldn’t mind the dolphins selecting a speed burner like Chad Jackson from UF. Position WR Chris Chambers and TE Randy McMicheal are already threats. Complementing them with a deep threat on the other side just might be what the Dolphins need coupled with a healthy Daunte Culpepper to make a run at the Lombardi Trophy.

If they go defense they will most likely go CB position considering the loss of Sam madison to the NYG. I think Nick Saban coaching style he would want a tall lanky CB. If CB Mike Huff , Texas, is available at #16 it wouldnt suprise me if he takes him.

So who knows offense or defense? Please just don’t let it be a bust.

Reggie Bush will not be the first pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. That honor will go to Mario Williams DE out of NC State. Saints pick #2 and have already discussed trades with Jets , Titans, and 4 other teams trying to get a shot at Reggie Bush. The Dolphins select #16.

Rumors are flying about the possibility of RB Ricky Williams who has been suspended by the NFL for violating their Substance Abuse Policy. Apparently he has drawn interest from the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. Lets put this baby to rest. NFL Rules state that while under suspension, Williams cannot play for any other league, which was confirmed by the Dolphins. It would be an insult to the NFL to allow a player who has failed drug tests more than three times to play for another organization from another league.
