Miami Dolphins
Chad Henne can go back up Tim Tebow
A couple of years ago, Chad Henne gave us the greatest day in the history of the site. All he did at about this time was knock Tim Tebow and his ability to play the QB position in the NFL. Well, Tim Tebow is the starting QB for the Denver Broncos, and Chad Henne will be looking for a job.
The Miami Dolphins are looking towards their future, and don’t see Henne in it. The former University of Michigan star has been less than stellar since becoming the Dolphins QB. His career record is only 13-18, and he has thrown more INTs than touchdowns during that span. That is a recipe for job loss in this profession. Henne is also coming off shoulder surgery, and the Dolphins would like to attempt to move forward, instead of being a franchise stuck in neutral, like they have been for the last dozen or so year.
The Dolphins will continue to finally find a franchise QB, one they haven’t had since Dan Marino retired. Matt Moore will get an opportunity to compete for the starter…
Who Is Calling The Shots For The Phins ?
Stephen Ross: Big shot billion dollar business man and owner of the Miami Dolphins doesn’t know what it means to fail. Ross is willing to do whatever it takes and write a blank cheque to any player that can potentially help bring glory back to Miami. Ross also has a burning desire to make the Dolphins succeed as a business and that means filling the stands with fans.
Jeff Ireland: Is Ireland the man calling the shot or his he Ross’s puppet ? Ireland originally brought in by Bill Parcells has the very murky reputation, granted mostly connected to off the field incidents with Dez Bryant and the belief by some of the fan base that he is a jerk.
Joe Philbin: Recently hired head coach, who has full power to pick and chose his coaching staff but will he have the same power in choosing his QB. There is still a lot of debate how the player personnel decisions will go down.
Earlier this off season there were rumors of internal battles between Ireland and Ross in choosing the next coach an…
Miami Dolphins to allow QB Chad Henne to test free agency
The quarterback position is one area of greatest need for the Miami Dolphins and it now appears that QB Chad Henne will no longer be part of the team’s question marks surrounding that position. The Miami Dolphins will not offer Henne a contract prior to the start of free agency so that means on March 13th, Henne will be free to sign with any other team in the league as an unrestricted free agent.
The Miami Dolphins have been one of the teams this season which has been rumored to be a possible destination for veteran QB Peyton Manning if and when he is released by the Indianapolis Colts.
Miami general manager Jeff Ireland was asked about the team’s plan regarding Henne. “Chad has done what we’ve asked him to do. I like Chad personally very well. He’s smart. He’s intelligent. Very tough. A football guy. He loves being around the game and is a very good teammate. But this team didn’t win enough games when he was a quarterback here,” said …
Report: Dolphins moving on from Chad Henne
According to Omar Kelly of the Sun-Sentinel, the Miami Dolphins don’t plan on making quarterback Chad Henne an offer once he becomes a free agent on March 13th.
The Dolphins are clearly moving on from Henne and looking to make a major upgrade at the quarterback position either in the draft or free agency.
“Chad has done what we’ve asked him to do. I like Chad personally very well. He’s very smart. Very intelligent. Very tough. A football guy. He loves being around the game and is a very good teammate,”Jeff Ireland said at the Senior Bowl last month per the Sun Sentinel.“But this football team didn’t win enough games when he was quarterback here. But that doesn’t mean he did everything wrong, or right,” Ireland said of Henne, who produced a 13-18 record as a starter for Miami. ”If he goes somewhere else, Chad’s a good football player. He can play in this league.”
Report: Dolpins won’t re-sign QB Henne
The Miami Dolphins will not attempt to re-sign quarterback Chad Henne.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel, citing league sources, reported that the Dolphins will let Henne walk as a free agent.
A second-round pick of the Dolphins in 2008, Henne went 13-18 as a starter with Miami.
Henne separated his non-throwing shoulder and was limited to just four games this season. He finished with 868 passing yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions.
Miami Dolphins To Part Ways With QB Chad Henne
The high hopes the Miami Dolphins had for quarterback Chad Henne HAS BEEN WASHED AWAY, as it’s being reported that it’s unlikely that the Dolphins will re-sign Henne, which would make him an unrestricted free agent on March 13.It’s also being reported by league sources that the Dolphins will not even consider making Henne an offer to stay in South Beach, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.The Dolphins management have made it very clear that they want to upgrade the level of play at the quarterback position. It’s expected that the team will likely do that during free agency or the NFL draft. Many point out that after drafting Henne in the second round in 2008 NFL Draft, Henne has only produced, in his four years in Miami, a 75.7 quarterback rating. Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland talked kindly about Henne:
Chad has done what we’ve asked him to do. I like Chad personally very well. He’s very smart. Very intelligent. Very tough. A football guy. He loves being aro…
Could Brandon Marshall Be Traded To The St. Louis Rams?
Many trade propositions have been mentioned as possibilities for the St. Louis Rams when it comes to dealing the second overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, but the latest rumor is very intriguing.
Less than two years ago when the Denver Broncos were interested in dealing star wideout Brandon Marshall, the Rams were at the forefront of those trade talks. That year the team held the number one pick in the draft and rumors were mainly focused on the team’s second round selection.
This time around with Marshall now playing for the Miami Dolphins, the talks focus on the second overall pick and the Dolphins dire need for a franchise quarterback. That player would likely be Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III presuming the Indianapolis Colts select Andrew Luck first overall. With talk that the Rams could consider an unproven player like Justin Blackmon with the number two pick, it would make more sense for the team to land a proven commodity like Marshall at that spot if possible.
The be…
Burning question: Does the Dolphins’ 13-year QB search finally end?
April 26th 1983 was the last time the Miami Dolphins drafted a QB in the first round. That quarterback happened to be Dan Marino, and it turned out to be a historic day in Dolphins history. In 1999 Marino retired and the search for someone to fill his shoes started.
February 2012, 13 years later, the Dolphins are still looking for that QB to fill Marino’s shoes. Whether it was Ray Lucas, Jay Feely, Jay Fielder, John Beck, Chad Henne, the list goes on.
How bad is it? The Miami Sun Sentinel put together a photo montage of every Dolphins QB since Marino, 161 pages long. Sixteen players in total have started a game for the Dolphins since Marino left. Enjoy or cry if you’re a Dolphins fan.
This year’s burning question is the same one that has been burning through the minds of Dolphins fans for 13 years now. Is this the year the Dolphins finally draft another 1st round QB? I doubt it. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that they won’t find themselves with a new name under ce…
2012 NFL draft: Possible selections for the Miami Dolphins
The 2011 Miami Dolphins started off losing their first seven games of the season, but showed promise winning six out of their last nine games. Despite holding opponents to a AFC East low 330 points the Dolphins failed to improve on their record from 2010 which resulted in the dismissal of head coach Tony Sparano. The 2012 NFL draft could be an interesting mark in time for the organization as the emergence of Matt Moore may have altered the original plan of looking for a quarterback. The Dolphins new head coach is Joe Philbin who was previously the offensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers since 2007 and originally joined the team as the assistant offensive line coach in 2003. This marks the 10th head coach in team history as Stephen Ross was searching for a “young Don Shula.” More importantly the Dolphins owner is looking for stability and that could also mean at the quarterback position. The Penalty Flag’s Mike Presley has the Dolphins selecting the following…

Miami Dolphins Sign Quinten Lawrence, CFL Star Jerome Messam
The Miami Dolphins signed former wide receiver turned defensive back Quinten Lawrence on Thursday, according to the team’s press release. The 27-year-old was selected in the sixth round of the 2oo9 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Lawrence saw action in six games as a wide receiver during his rookie year, including one start. As a member of the Chiefs, the 6-0, 184 pound defensive back spent 14 weeks on the team’s practice squad before being activated to the 53-man roster for the final two weeks of the 2010 season and played in the AFC Wildcard Game as Kansas City hosted the Baltimore Ravens.
Lawrence has really found his forte in the kicking game as a return specialist, registering 317 yards on 16 kickoffs. The McNeese State graduate plays very aggressive at his new adopted position and looks to continue to light things up in South Beach.
Miami also welcomed another star from the Canadian Football League (CFL) to the team on Wednesday. Jerome Messam signed as a free agent w…
AFC East Draft Profile: Miami Dolphins
Cameron Wake will lead the Dolphins’ defense again in 2012.
The Dolphins started off the season as one of the favorites to land Andrew Luck, but halfway through the season, the ‘Fins picked it up and won six of their last nine games. One bright spot in Miami’s season was Reggie Bush, who finally rushed for over 1,000 yards in a season. Still, there are many things the Dolphins need to address this season, if they want to compete with the Jets and Patriots.
2011 Record: 6-10, 4th in AFC East
Strengths: Running Back, Wide Receiver, Offensive Line, Middle Linebacker, Right Outside Linebacker, Safety
The Dolphins have a ton of potential on their team. Reggie Bush had a career year, and backup Daniel Thomas is also a great running back. At wide receiver, Brandon Marshall didn’t have an amazing year, but he’s always a threat downfield. As for their offensive line, Mike Pouncey had a great rookie year at center, and the veterans around him also played well. On …
NFL rewind: Miami Dolphins re-implement the wildcat
No one knew that it would be an offensive formation named “wildcat” that would keep the Miami Dolphins competitive in the AFC East. It wasn’t just the 2008 season it altered. It changed the entire league as Ronnie Brown unleashed the formation against the division rival New England Patriots. Head coach Tony Sparano wanted a way to get both running backs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams on the field at the same time. Along with David Lee, the former University of Arkansas offensive coordinator, who orchestrated The Wild Hog featuring direct snaps to tailbacks Darren McFadden and Felix Jones. The Dolphins shocked New England as Brown ran for three touchdowns and threw for another in a 38-13 win. Brown finished the game with 113 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground and a fifth coming on his one pass attempt. The Dolphins 1-15 disaster of 2007 was quickly erased as the Dolphins completed the greatest single-season turnaround in NFL history finishing 11-5 and …
