the more i hear and see Cam Cameron,the more I dislike the guy. is he an ego-centric dude, or what?this isn't the Yankees announcing who their captain is going to be, this is the bottom feeding miami dolphins , for pete's sake!who doesn't think that ronnie brown wins the job....it was never in doubt. is he trying to motivate brown? perhaps. but,his team has been one of the worst in the NFL over the past few seasons, Cam needs to pipe down and try to win at least 7 games..lets hold a press conference with all the pomp and circumstance of a Kennedy wedding,to annouce that we've settled on Ron Brown as our starting RB..
Why on earth is Ronnie Brown returning kickoffs? He is their best offensive player.
The guys over on the Phins message board say it is because Cameron says Brown doens't run the ball hard and tough and while returning kicks you have no choice but to. He wants him to learn to run that way so he can carry it over to the RB position.Makes sense. I think the guy is a good coach.the more i hear and see Cam Cameron,the more I dislike the guy. is he an ego-centric dude, or what?

I spend some time on the Fins message boards also. They also talk about how he also very rarely gets the ball with room to run (due to the weak O-Line). On kick returns he has plenty, and he has done very well so far, averaging 29 yards per return. They also talk about how he sometimes takes a few carries to get into the game. The kick return gets him into it right away. The point has also been debated that kick returns are very different than punt returns with regard to injury risk, yet they are grouped together as both being a huge risk. When you think about it, there is a lot of validity to that line of thinking. A kick return is not that much different from taking a pass in the flats, and running upfield with it.Cam is getting a lot of abuse for his decisions because they differ from the norm - but until it is proven that his way is wrong, I think the criticism is unwarranted. I personally respect the fact that he is willing to stray from the norm and try out his own theories.The guys over on the Phins message board say it is because Cameron says Brown doens't run the ball hard and tough and while returning kicks you have no choice but to.

My thinking is that we'll see Beck in for good before week 10.
Hey Colin,what are your thoughts about Beck in general?
That's not what I'm getting at.IIRC, Cameron said there was an open competition for QB1 during training camp. He didn't officially announce Trent Green as QB1 until after their 2nd preseason game. Do I have that right, approximately? Did anyone really buy into the fact that there was a QB battle? Did anyone really think Lemon had a shot?Same at RB, IMO.
That actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the "insider" info!I spend some time on the Fins message boards also.

One thing I'm surprised about is how little activity Booker has gotten given that Cam is unhappy/motivating (whatever you want to call it) with Brown. I thought I read that he was looking fairly good early in camp.
Well Cam was looking for more leadership out of Lemon. He didn't see it. Otherwise, according to Cam, Lemon was right there with Green.
It was the 9th pick and they still LOVE Ginn in Miami. Will be returning kicks and has a good shot at being the #3 WR.
Brown and Chatman are sitting out the final preseason game vs NO this week.You'll get to see a lot of Booker this week as a RB and returning kicks.
i can't believe a mod used this worn out shtick.
It is the beginning of the Cameron Hate club; guy could take over from Shanny as the most annoying HC for fantasy owners.The comment above about making Brown take Kickoffs to teach him how to run harder actually makes sense. Also the comment that he might name Chatman starter and then play Brown 90% of the game makes sense too.
This is one reason that I don't take the Chatman chatter seriously. Obviously all the chatter about Booker was hot air designed to motivate Brown, and now it is Chatman. Either that or Cam changes his mine as often as a politician. If Booker was so great, why has he seen so little PT in the preseason? If Cam was blowing smoke about Booker, is he blowing smoke about Chatman now? I think so.
While Cameron assuredly had a lot of influence, I would think that is an organizational decision.Besides, just like Cameron himself, I think we should see how Ginn does before discrediting either.
what if i thought differently before and now have added Chatman to my roster, does that still count?
It wasn't just Ted Ginn. It was the entire Ginn family . . .
Booker missed some practices in TC becuase of the birth of his child. Cameron must have a no practice no play policy. He was thrown to alot in game 3 and you will see much more of him this weak.
Exactly. If all of this chatter about trading Chambers is true, it is also a very good indication that they are pleased with what they have seen from Ginn. Ginn got some good PT in the 3rd PS game also, passing Derek Hagan as the WR3. Randy Mueller was interviewed during the game and said that they have several specially designed plays for him in the offense that they are not breaking out in the preseason. They WILL take advantage of the speed advantage that he has over every other player on the field. As a Fins fan, I wanted Brady Quinn or Patrick Willis at the 9 spot at the time of the draft - but I am starting to warm up to this pick. I think Ginn will be returning kicks and punts in the regular season, and will start off as the Fins WR3. Ronnie may come in as a second kick returner in situational circumstances, which is another reason why Cam may want him to get some PS work back there. He looks great as a kick returner. Beck may turn out to be just as good if not better than Quinn - both have looked great so far, but Beck was drafted 32 spots later than we would have had to take QuinnI know I am off topic. I have no intention of hijacking the thread. I just felt the need to defend the head coach of my team while he is being unjustly crushed on these boards before he has an opportunity to coach a game.

Starters rarely play in the final preseason game...There is less than a 1% chance that R Brown won't be the starter and get the lion's share of the carries, IMO...
Your gonna wish you never made that pick.Ronnie will be an average at best RB2 this season. Miami homer here as well.
Great post .There was no competition at all the same at RB position . Actually ( Besides injury ) Brwon did well considering the OL and QB they had the last two years .dgreen said:
Brown did fine last year. In games he started and finished without breaking a hand, he either scored at least 1 TD or had 100 yards combined in all but 2 games. He got 1,200 yards combined and 5 TDs in only 12.5 games. Project that a full season you get over 1500 yards combined and 6.4 TDs. His season wasn't that bad, it's just people drafted him too high.
