10/10shark postInside JOKEFirst off, last time I posted about this guy a few week's ago, the thread devolved into some kind of inside joke about getting Greg Camarillo active. If you intend to post something along those lines, please simply bump the previous post.
That being said ...
I'm a bit surprised to see Camarillo so high in this week's rankings. Suffice to say, he is ranked a borderline WR2. I actually kind of like the guy, and think he will be a solid if unspectacular PPR guy.
Do any Miami homers have any insight into what type of passing game the Dolphins are looking to run? I know he is up there in targets right now with Fasano, but can we expect him to be the lead target for pretty much the whole season?
He seems to be the kind of short/intermediate guy that would be a perfect fit for Pennington's game.
Thoughts?Inherent clairvoyance is nothing to joke about, chief. LET'S GET THAT STRAIGHT. Foreseeing otherwise ordinary players having extraordinary games is a difference maker. Here you are clamoring around starting threads about a guy who's best day is well in the rear view. You're sniffing the wrong undies, bud. YOU WANT 22 POINTS IN WEEK 9?!?! DO YOU
Then you get Donnie Avery on your roster. That's how this thing works. You sit Cotchery in week ten and spot start Steptoe. FLACCO GET'S THE NOD IN WEEK 9 - Comprehende?You don't learn this stuff. You can't sit around on a site like this, start threads and expect to DOMINATE your opponents. Your have to LIVE ahead of the curve. You have to CREATE the curve. Let the gup prospectors pan around in here looking for gold nuggets while continually and consistently uncovering turds

Spectacular schtick. You need to introduce yourself over to the FFA - they appreciate histrionics and hyperbole much more over there.Inside JOKEInherent clairvoyance is nothing to joke about, chief.

Camarillo almost never got active. What a shame that would have been. This story was written just before the Chargers game. Great story for Greg.

Miami Dolphins receiver Camarillo takes unlikely path to NFL
By BARRY JACKSON
bjackson@MiamiHerald.com
One of the Dolphins' most improbable starters thought he would spend his life in math or science, perhaps be an engineer. Instead, Greg Camarillo's career took such an unexpected twist that now "old friends are e-mailing saying they picked me up on their fantasy teams. That's crazy to me. I'm thinking, 'Damn - they passed up another good receiver to pick me up!' ''
Among receivers storylines in Sunday's Dolphins-Chargers game, Chris Chambers takes top billing. But it's also appropriate to acknowledge the remarkable rise of Camarillo, whose release by the Chargers 13 months ago turned into a "blessing.''
Injured Dolphins tight end "Aaron Halterman said, 'Yo, do you realize you're a starting receiver in the NFL?' '' Camarillo said. "I have to prove myself every week, or that will be the end of it. I didn't think I was going to play in the NFL.''
How unlikely is his ascent? Consider:
• Camarillo said "halfway through camp, I thought I was going to get cut. The week before and after the first preseason game, I wasn't producing in practice and coaches noticed. They told me to pick it up.''
• Despite being team MVP as a senior receiver at Menlo-Atherton (Calif.) High, Camarillo got no athletic scholarship offers. Only Division III Washington University in St. Louis recruited him.
• He walked on at Stanford as a punter, had to convince then-coach Tyrone Willingham to play him at receiver and was asked by a dormmate's relative: "You play football? Aren't you a little small?''
• A day before his final home game at Stanford, at a breakfast for Cardinal fans, Stanford announcer Bob Murphy asked, "Greg, how does it feel knowing you're going to play organized football for the last time in your life?''
Said Camarillo: "This was in front of a whole room of people! I'm thinking to myself, I may not be an NFL player, but there's arena ball, the Canadian League.''
• He wasn't invited to the NFL Combine and after going undrafted, only the Chargers offered a tryout - which he thinks was partly because then-Chargers receivers coach James Lofton's son, David, also played at Stanford.
• He was on San Diego's practice squad in 2005, played in four games in '06 with no catches and was cut last September, when Miami (and ex-Chargers assistant Cam Cameron) signed him. Tied for the team lead in receptions (11), Camarillo ''has played the best of the receivers,'' Derek Hagan said.
Eager to be known for more than last year's 64-yard overtime TD catch against Baltimore, Camarillo (6-1, 190 pounds) hasn't dropped a pass in an NFL game. Though ''I don't have burning speed and am not the biggest or strongest guy, I play disciplined and tough. I take pride in outsmarting a defender.'' He has "no ill feelings toward the Chargers, but I want to kick their [butt].''

Hangs out with Oscar Zeta Acosta
:corrected:Camarillo leads the team in targets - whoever is the team's leading targeted receiver should at least bear consideration as a starter against one of the league's worst pass Ds.
