Thursday Morning Musings
-National Signing Day came and went and the Hurricanes signed 17 players, including top Miami-Dade defensive standouts Joseph Nicolas and DeMarcus Van Dyke. And, in the words of new coach Randy Shannon, "filled our needs."-The Dolphins-Giants London game is apparently a HUGE hot ticket item. DolphinsNation represented in the UK! I still think it sucks for the Dolphins. But, the more I think about it, the more I think playing a game in London would actually be more of a homefield advantage for the Fins than if they played this game here in Miami. We got New Yorkers up the wazoo down here and, let's face it, Dolphins fans aren't exactly known for filling the place up week after week. Truth hurts.
-The Heat are one game -- that's right! -- one game back from reaching the .500 mark. They beat the hapless Celtics last night (Boston's 16th straight loss) and are heading into the All Star break on a nice roll. Just like last year, we gotta lot of fans down here jumping off bridges after a slow start by the World Champs. But there's still a lot of NBA left. This is a team built for the playoffs. The more Shaq rests, the better it is for all of us. And no one -- you hear me Bulls? -- no one will beat them in the East in a seven-game series. The West? That's another matter entirely. Tomorrow night, they visit LeBron in Cleveland.
-Hey numb nuts! Yea, you Vinatieri, Mr. Clutch Kicker! When The Great One tells you to call heads, you damn well better call heads!
-Turns Out The NFL Agrees With Jason Taylor. Lights Out, Shawn!
-Brady Quinn is supposedly falling on teams' draft boards. His Sugar Bowl performance is said to have hurt his stock. If he falls to us at No. 9, I'd take him. In a heart beat. The guy has all the tools and Cam is a QB guru. And all you need to point to is this past Sunday's Super Bowl to once again prove that, more often than not, you need a big game QB to win it all.-Meanwhile, Daunte Culpepper says he's looking forward to playing for Cam. Just a guy who might actually get cut getting on his new boss' good side. -Kapono is in the All Star weekend's three-point contest!
-Oh and, one thing I missed while I was gone last weekend: Randy is staying! I'm happy.

Demarcus VanDyke is 6-1, 178 lbs, and runs a 4.28 40 yard dash.
Just to give you an example, Mark Duper, the Dolphins fastest player ever, was once timed at 4.32.

16 losses in a row for the Celts? That matches the number of titles they have! Ha ha.
Go Heat! Go Phins! Go Canes! Go Homers!

ESPN ranked Miami's class at No.9 (Florida No. 2). Not too shabby.
They ranked Alabama No. 17. Looks like Nick Douche-ban couldn't draw em in in his first go round. Ha ha!
As far as Quinn, I'd rather we get a top notch CB, WR or OL with the No. 9 oick and if we need a QB, look for Stanton in the 2nd round (as you yourself wrote, Dude). Not sure that Quinn is that much better than Stanton anyway. Just my opinion.

One win from .500. The Cavs and Spurs are really gonna test us. Shaq said now is the time to start playing like defending champs. We'll see in the next couple of days.

Mel Kiper has Quinn falling to the Fins in his first official mock draft. So your wish may come true yet, Dude.

I don't see Quinn slipping down to No. 9. Too many other teams with needs at QB picking ahead of us and from now until the draft, his stock is going to rise back up.
That said, let's get a CB or OL. My favorite player is Calvin Johnson but the only way we could get him is if we traded up for him.

After having his stock fall towards the end of the season and then not playing in the Senior Bowl, Quinn is going to work his ass off at the combine to get himself back to top 5 status. And like Anon said, there are way too many teams that need a QB picking ahead of us. Plus, Quinn played under Charlie Weis, which means he knows how to run a pro-style offense. He’ll be too good to pass up in April. Looks like we’re going to have to focus our pick elsewhere.
