Brandon Jones
Brandon Jones has big-play ability, but just needs to concentrate, according to the Tennessean. Mike Heimerdinger said, "Brandon makes a big play every day, but he has to block in the run and he has to be consistent catching the ball. He cant make a mental mistake every day. He has to keep concentrating. He has a good feel for things, but he cant space out and has to catch the ball and not make mental mistakes." | Samkon Gado
Samkon Gado reportedly has a tryout scheduled with the Patriots, according to the Palm Beach Post. He was a restricted free agent that the Dolphins decided not to bring back. | Michael Strahan
Michael Strahan has reportedly made up his mind whether to return this season or retire, but is not ready to release that decision to the media, according to the NY Daily News. He wants to be 100% sure of the choice he has made. Strahan said, "I think a lot of them want me to retire because theyre always on the radio talking about it. Theyre getting more radio and TV time than I get all of a sudden. No, you know, I think the guys want me to come back. I think we had a great time together. Osi called me out of the blue two days ago and said Do you remember 2005? We had so much fun. It was slightly more fun than last year. I think we can do it again. Hes trying to drop these subtle hints. I was like, Well, we probably could, but I dont know Osi. But there are times I want to and times that I dont." He added, "Ill be honest with you, I pretty much know what Im going to do right now. But you know what the thing is? If I say it, I cant change my mind. So I would rather wait until I know Im 100 percent sure that when I say what Im going to do, Im going to do it. Because if I say Im retired, then Im not going to come back the next day. If Ive graduated from football, I wont come back the same day in the Masters program. And if I say Im going to play again then I know Im committed to playing. So I know what I want to do. I just want to make sure that its 100 percent what I want to do, because either way its a heck of a commitment." | Ricky Williams
Ricky Williams is reportedly in top shape right now and Bill Parcells wants him to be a part of the Dolphins this season, but Williams said Parcells told him he will share carries with Ronnie Brown, according to the Palm Beach Post. | Kellen Clemens
Manager Eric Mangini has said that there will be an open competition at quarterback between Kellen Clemens and Chad Pennington, but the team is really pulling for Clemens to win the job, according to the NY Daily News. The team drafted Clemens in the second round of the draft two years ago, and has high expectations for him, and also want to prove their assessment of his talent was right. | Odell Thurman
Odell Thurman is projected to start at middle linebacker for the Bengals this season, according to the Dayton Daily News. | Chris Perry
Quarterback Carson Palmer praised running back Chris Perry, according to the Dayton Daily News. Palmer said, "Hes such a threat out of the backfield. I compare him to LaDainian Tomlinson or Larry Johnson running the screen routes." | Keith Rivers
Rookie Keith Rivers could start at weak-side linebacker this season, according to the Dayton Daily News, who are already projecting him for the job. | Kevin Kasper
Kevin Kasper has reportedly been the most "eye catching" player during the team's voluntary OTA, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. He displayed solid quickness and made impressive catches over the middle. | Donnie Avery
Torry Holt has reportedly been shouting at rookie Donnie Avery (Houston), according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Holt said, "Right now, I don't have any impressions of Donnie Avery. Hopefully, during training camp he'll show me something." Holt is simply trying to push him to succeed and quarterback Marc Bulger is pleased with Avery's speed and what he can bring to the Rams' aerial attack. Bulger said, "We can put him inside against some nickel defensive backs or some linebackers. But at the same time, he's going to have to, do some other things, because if they know every time he comes in that we're going deep, they have answers for that." |
