Dolphins signed Ray Willis former standout at FSU and Seattle Seahawk. Making room for the Offensive Lineman the Miami Dolphins waived Micah Kia. He should help bolster the Line as Head Coach Tony Sparano is trying to find a good balance between lineman.

New rules and points of emphasis for 2011.

While the trend in recent years seems to have been all about player safety, the league took a nice step back this year and will cut down on the number of penalties called when the head of the quarterback is touched. Last season, a penalty was supposed to be called basically anytime a defensive player made contact with a quarterback’s helmet. This year, unless the contact is the result of a “forcible blow,” there will not be a penalty called.

Other notes:

-As you know, kickoffs will now take place at the 35-yard line, not the 30. What you may not know, is that the 10 players on the kicking team besides the actual kicker cannot line up behind the 30, limiting their speed and momentum as they head down the field.

-There can be no coach’s challenges on any play in which points are put on the board. Anytime a play results in points, the replay rules of the final two minutes of the 2nd and 4th quarters will be in place (booth review only.) This rule sucks I’m 1 million%% against this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-If a defensive team intentionally commits a stop-clocking penalty in order to give their coach or the replay official more time to look at a possible replay review, the previous play cannot be reviewed–either by challenge or booth review.

-Look for some penalties this year on ball carriers who, while stiff-arming a defender, get their fingers tangled in the defenders’ face mask, and twist. This is a point of emphasis this year and will result in an unnecessary roughness penalty.
