Head coach Tony Sparano and Executive Vice President of Football Operations Bill Parcells are allowing their inflated opinion of their own judgment hold back the potential performance level of the Miami Dolphins offense. Despite the week 1 performance of the Dolphins’ offense, Sparano and Parcells refuse to admit that the trio of Ginn Jr, Camarillo, and Hagan just aren’t sufficient enough talent to provide a potent passing game.

It was clear to me as I watched on Sunday, and I would imagine clear to all, that the aforementioned trio just aren’t talented enough to strike fear into an opponent’s pass defense. Pennington completed 26 passes last Sunday, and only 5 of them were to Camarillo and Ginn Jr. Hagan didn’t even see action on the field. 12 passes were caught by TEs Anthony Fasano and David Martin. RBs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams combined to catch 6 passes. The Dolphins’ offense is not going to click until they have a passing game that can be effective.

To be fair, the team did make a WR move this week. Derek Hagan was moved to the #1 WR position, despite not playing next week. Is it really that hard for Sparano and Parcells to admit that perhaps they were wrong? Perhaps their faith in Ginn Jr, Camarillo, and Hagan is misplaced? It is silly to continue believing that outside help isn’t needed. There are talented WRs out there that are jobless right now. Terry Glenn, Joe Horn, Eric Moulds, Chad Jackson, and even Koren Robinson are all out there to be had, each of them (Chad Jackson aside) brings more talent to the team than any of their current WRs.

Chad Jackson would be a fabulous pick up, he’s young and extremely talented with a brighter future than Camarillo and Hagan, though he wouldn’t be adding any experience. I’ve already discussed the benefits of bringing in either Glenn or Horn, Eric Moulds would bring the same excellent ability and veteran presence to the WR corps. Robinson would be the last on my list, but in a pinch I’d give him a shot.

In the end, Sparano and Parcells need to take their heads out of the sand. Their current 3 WRs just can’t get it done well enough to help the Dolphins offense. Without a decent passing game and some WRs that are legitimate deep threats, teams will just continue to stackk 8 in the box and deny Williams and Brown the room to run. Adding legitimate talent at WR will be the key to balancing the Dolphins offense and giving it the opportunity to flourish. Sparano and Parcells, STOP WAITING! Your guys aren’t going to turn it around in the blink of an eye, outside help is needed.
