Cam Cameron press conference today (1 Viewer)

[kncks12]

Listened to the press conference. One of first questions, was about the RB situation. Cam said they had two good backs for 1st and 2nd down, that have done good things in Ronnie Brown and Jesse Chatman. He said both will not play Thursday night, and he also said that they will know when they are preparing for the Redskins and the official depth chart is posted. He said Cobbs has done some good things, and that booker will be a receiver, returner and running back, he said he calls it the "F" position.

I for one don't like Cam already. I am a Brown owner and was a KJ owner when Mooch was in Detroit. Cam is reminding me too much of that horror show of Mooch in Detroit. Cam is outthinking himself and trying to do something he shouldn't. Just let Ronnie play, and let Jesse back him up. WTF is this guy trying to pull. I can't believe I traded for Ronnie Brown, I was excited for the guy and liked Cam before I heard him speak. Cam reminds me of Norv Turner, he can call the plays, but he knows nothing on how to handle players and personnel.

Haven't been a big fan, myself, of the early returns. Sort of started with picking Ginn, and it's all gone downhill from there. Ronnie's not going to the HOF anytime soon, but he's clearly a class ahead of Chatman.Good analogy to Mooch. Feels like the same damn thing happening here.

 

[avoiding injuries]

So if Booker is returning, does that mean Ronnie isn't? I do not like the fact that they currently have RB on special teams.

I liked your post. I am a faithful fins fan all my life. I did not read or hear of the press conference, but I say give Cam a chance in the regular season before passing judgement. He is a mastermind of offense. I think you will find that Brown will produce, I don't think it will be some RBBC or 50-50 split or something. Remember...he came from SD and LT and Turner were there and I think it will be a situation very similar to that. I don't see Chatman really stealing that many carries. I think he will be there to keep Ronnie fresh.

 

[menobrown]

I think he will be there to keep Ronnie fresh.

If Cameron really valued Ronnie and was concerned with keeping him fresh he would not have him returning kickoffs, especially in pre-season games.

Really starting to get an uneasy feeling anout this situation. Has anyone seen a spike in Chatman's ADP?

Has the season started yet? You have drawn a quartered the guy already. I like his approach so far, but um I dunno, this is his FIRST year as coach. Maybe he should be allowed to do things his way before you have another hissy fit??

 

[Traders2001]

THat s all BS , i have them both ( I picked Chatman strictly as a back for Brown ) i dont believe this BS that there is actually a competiton for the starting job .

There is no way Brown aint gettin 80% of the carries plus the goal line carries , Chatman had a 6 yds per caryy average when he was in SD it did nt make him a starter .

I say when the season starts all this BS will be left behind.

 

[SteelerMurf]

Let's put the ball in the hands of a 5'8" RB with no starting experience in the NFL who didn't play a snap last year.

Great job Cameron. He is an idiot. I thought I got good value with pick 2.08 with Ronnie, esp in a PPR league. But like any other competition....the best RB will be on the field and i know it ain't ####### Chappedman

[Finatic]

There is something wrong about Brown that I can't put my finger on.He seems to run with decent power,catches the ball with ease and gets alot out of nothing.I see his short area burst as the major culprit.Once he gets going he is a bulldozer,problem is that he takes longer to get there than most backs.This coupled with Miami's poor O-Line and Cam's headgames doesn't equate to a stud RB in Miami anytime soon....

Just a homer's .02 cents..

P.S. Ronnie Brown owner in two leagues

 

[Anthony Borbely]

What has Chatman done this preseason, besides one 74 yard run, and the 11 yard run on the statue of liberty play?

5/14

8/19

3/-2

Total: 16 for 31 yards.

How is he all of a sudden even a #2 caliber RB?

Makes me wonder where your finger was when you were drafting if you think something is wrong with Ronnie.

Chatman played for Cameron in San Diego, so the familiarity with his system is probably garnering the uptick in playing time. I have to imagine that the cream (i.e., Brown) will inevitably rise to the top.

In his defense, Vince Lombardi couldn't have coached that IU team to a much better record.I still think he's going to tank as a HC, tho.

I agree 100%. His record is typical of the Hoosier program for a longgg time.But it was his decision-making, playcalling and overall administration of his staff/players that showed me he doesn't have close to the right stuff to HC at any level.

What he's doing and saying so far in Miami is deja vu all over again for me.

Incidentally, I'm a Phins fan too.

What football gods did i P.O. to end up with Cammy twice?

exactly....maybe it was Chatman's great work ethic in effort in 2006 season.....oh you mean he was too fat and sat out the yearI get it, outside of the 74 yard TD run vs. 5th string he averages 2.47 yards per carrymaybe his size makes him think he would be a good feature back....5 foot 8 WOW

[Couch Potato]

Guys, there's way too much concern on message boards (not just this one) and talk in the media about this. Cameron has been saying and doing what he has for motivational purposes, to challenge Brown to work harder, to put a little worry in him. I would think you guys would understand this and be able to see through the words to the purpose of the words rather than calling him an idiot or panicking if you are Brown owners. I think Chatman gets 75 or so carries, as many backup RBs do, but Brown is in no danger of losing his starting job. Relax already.

Disclosure - I own Brown in no leagues and own Chatman in two leagues (one a deep league and the other an inherited team with weak overall talent).

I want to believe this I really do but it does not explain why he's got Ronnie returning kickoffs in the preseason. That, more than anything Cameron has said, has me wondering about Browns role.

Part of the ploy... http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/colleges...ory/211023.html

CHATTER

• The feeling among some Dolphins players is that several of Cam Cameron's moves impacting Ronnie Brown -- including putting him on kickoff returns and firing running backs coach Bobby Williams in the offseason -- are being done to send a message to Brown and create a greater sense of urgency in the third-year running back. . . .

 

[ooofffaaa]

I'll reserve judgement on Cameron until he's AT LEAST coached ONE regular season game.

Call me crazy.

You're not crazy. Most (including no shortage of Jets fans) were very skeptical about Eric Mangini when he first got the job. People should give Cameron a chance to see what he can do before tearing him down. I'd say the same thing applies to Kiffin in Oakland.

 

[Kiddnets]

Found this - doesnt clear itup too much - but glad I dumped Brown in one league and grabbed Chatman for $1 in another - looks like he will get carries either way.

Miami Herald today

The running back competition that no one knew existed a couple of weeks ago is supposed to end by Monday, when coach Cam Cameron announces that either Ronnie Brown or Jesse Chatman will carry the ball and the Dolphins' running game this season.

Cameron's decision on which name he will put ahead of the other on the depth chart is pretty much made now because his chance to evaluate the players has passed.

Neither Chatman nor Brown will play in the final exhibition game against New Orleans, Cameron confirmed Tuesday, and the Dolphins already are finished with their preseason practices.

So the next time Miami practices in pads, it will be in preparation for the regular-season opener against Washington. And it will be with either Brown or Chatman taking snaps as the starting running back.

But all the hype surrounding who the mystery starter will be -- the guess here is Brown, by the way -- misses bigger issues surrounding the position.

It is, you see, not so important which player starts. It's which player gets more carries that matters.

It is not important which player will be named the starter at the beginning of the season. It's which player is the man at the end of the season that matters.

''I think [the competition] will continue,'' Brown said, signaling the likelihood that Cameron's decision on a starter for the opener might not be permanent. ``We're going to come out and compete each day and try to make each other better.

``We're both going to be in there and have the same goals as far as winning football games. So if I can come out and make him better by competing, and he does the same for me, I think it will help the team throughout the season.''

SURPRISINGLY CLOSE

It is telling that after an entire preseason of evaluation, Brown has not significantly distinguished himself over Chatman. Given that Brown is a former No. 2 overall draft pick and Chatman was overweight and out of the game last season, this race shouldn't be close.

And it wouldn't be close if the Dolphins hadn't changed coaches. It wasn't before Chatman lost 60 pounds. The issue would be moot had Brown not been such an offseason disappointment that he basically got his position coach fired before training camp began.

But all those things happened, and now Brown and Chatman, Chatman and Brown, are No. 1 and No. 1A to Cameron.

''I think we have two running backs that on first and second down we can all feel good about in Ronnie and Jesse,'' Cameron said. ``I think they're both ascending players -- they better be, right? They've both done some good things.''

Only one of them will be selected to run out of the tunnel with the rest of the starters before the Washington game.

But it shouldn't surprise if the other guy gets just as many carries while Cameron sorts out who is better from play to play.

And unless one or the other can snatch the job as if it were a Trent Green handoff, something neither has done, the naming of the starting running back might become a weekly soap opera for the Dolphins.

MOTIVATION FACTOR

That wouldn't be such a bad thing. Brown seems to need the motivation a competition can offer. And he has no problem with sharing running back duties, which he did in college.

Chatman seems pretty open to the idea of sharing, as well.

''If he's the starter, he's the starter,'' Chatman said. ``If I am, that's great.''

The two men, locked in this competition, finished their duties following the Tampa Bay exhibition game Saturday and headed to dinner at Prime 112 on Miami Beach.

''Jesse and myself, we hang out,'' Brown said. ``We went out to eat and we were kicking it and he came over to the house.

``As long as you keep everything in perspective, that we're fighting for the same thing, we'll be fine. We both want the job, but we both want to do what we can to make the team better.''

And that, too, is much more important than having either Brown or Chatman named the starting running back.

 

[phthalatemagic]

I'll reserve judgement on Cameron until he's AT LEAST coached ONE regular season game. Call me crazy.

Plus it will be very easy for Cam Cameron fans to just say the Dolphins have poor talent and there is no way it could be his fault. Good approach.

 

[raven1911]

I want to believe this I really do but it does not explain why he's got Ronnie returning kickoffs in the preseason. That, more than anything Cameron has said, has me wondering about Browns role.

I read somewhere I cannot find anymore that cam uses Brown for returns to get him into a rhythm. He is a slow starter and the kickoff returns helps him develop momentum in the game. I wish I had the link to that article though...

 

[thehornet]

chatman stinks. this shouldnt even be a discussion.

 

[asn4play]

Listened to the press conference. One of first questions, was about the RB situation. Cam said they had two good backs for 1st and 2nd down, that have done good things in Ronnie Brown and Jesse Chatman. He said both will not play Thursday night, and he also said that they will know when they are preparing for the Redskins and the official depth chart is posted. He said Cobbs has done some good things, and that booker will be a receiver, returner and running back, he said he calls it the "F" position. I for one don't like Cam already. I am a Brown owner and was a KJ owner when Mooch was in Detroit. Cam is reminding me too much of that horror show of Mooch in Detroit. Cam is outthinking himself and trying to do something he shouldn't. Just let Ronnie play, and let Jesse back him up. WTF is this guy trying to pull. I can't believe I traded for Ronnie Brown, I was excited for the guy and liked Cam before I heard him speak. Cam reminds me of Norv Turner, he can call the plays, but he knows nothing on how to handle players and personnel.

when you say booker...you do mean lorenzo correct?...and when you say returner, do you mean kick returner/punt returner?...i am assuming you mean kick returner, but does that mean he starts as the KR guy?

 

[SteelerMurf]

chatman stinks. this shouldnt even be a discussion.

I heard that Bam Morris has lost some weight and is next in line to replace Brown and Chatman. Figured he would go with a guy who hasn't played longer than Chatman hadn't played. And a guy who was probably fatter at one point too.

This is stuff from the book of Lou Holtz, Big 10 mantra: Tear em down to the ground and then build them up. See how they react to the lows. Cam is trying to play psychologist instead of typical new coach "my players are wonderful" guy. Whatever. Lets just see what he does for the pathetic O-line.

 

[#@%&$!?]

We both want the job, but we both want to do what we can to make the team better.''And that, too, is much more important than having either Brown or Chatman named the starting running back.

Awsome. Cameron's motivational tactic has made Ronnie unambitious & complacent. :kindofjokingbutnotreally:

Going out to dinner together, huh? Sounds to me like Ronnie is a smart one. A few steak dinners, and Chatman will eat himself right back out of the NFL.
