Houck indicates probable starters

2005-06-17 | Weblog
Palm Beach Post

The Dolphins' offensive line may have had a rough 2004 season, but it looks like many of the same faces will be back in the starting lineup.

While talking with the media for the first time Friday at the team's training facility, offensive line coach Hudson Houck indicated he was set at four positions — with left tackle being the lone spot up for grabs.

If the Dolphins opened the season this week, the starting line would be: Stockar McDougle, right tackle; Rex Hadnot, right guard; Seth McKinney, center; and Jeno James, left guard. McDougle started 54 games in five seasons with the Lions before signing with Miami as a free agent. Hadnot (seven starts), McKinney (16) and James (14) return from last season.

"I think we're in pretty good shape as far as that goes," Houck said of the line's level of experience. "Now, we are young. But they're fairly experienced.

"At left tackle, we've got a couple guys over there fighting for it and we'll see how that goes."

Vernon Carey, the team's first-round pick in the 2004 draft, and Damion McIntosh are vying for the left tackle position.

Carey sat on the bench most of last season but did start two games at right tackle in place of John St. Clair, who is now at right guard. Houck thinks Carey can make the transition to the other side of the line.

"I think he can be a good left tackle," Houck said. "Vernon Carey has potential and I think he's working hard at improving himself. I'm very pleased with his development so far."

Houck believes that Wade Smith's days as a left tackle — the position at which he started the first 18 games of his career — are done. Smith is now the backup center.

"I think that will be his best spot," Houck said. "I think you have to look at physical limitations that he would have from a size standpoint to play tackle or guard. You can be a little bit smaller (at center) as long as you're quick and smart. You could play the center position a lot better."

Regardless of who is playing where, Houck is still in the beginning stages of forming his unit.

"We're trying to get them to understand what our philosophies are, what I expect from them from a technique standpoint, from an effort standpoint — which, by the way, has been excellent," Houck said. "They weren't happy with what they did last year and I think they're ready to work a little bit harder."

オレゴンに留学している親戚からプレビュー誌が2冊届いた。
プロフットボールウィ―クリ―とストリート&スミスの2冊。
表紙はPFWがシーホークスの八セルベックとボウルウェア。
S&Sはチャージャースのブリーズと49ersのスミス。

神田の三省堂でも上記2冊は置いてあるが、表紙は違う。
PFWがコルツのマニングとライオンズのジョーンズ。
S&Sがペッツのブレイディ。
表紙は地域によって違っていても中身は同じ。
洋書屋さんはなにを基準にどこの地域版を輸入しているのだろうか??
まぁ。フロリダバージョンが欲しいところだが...

両誌ともドルフィンズは4勝12敗予想。
また、40回スーパーボウルはイーグルス対コルツでイーグルス勝利。
ドルフィンズは全く蚊帳の外って感じ。
4勝12敗から12勝4敗への上昇を望みたいが、
8~9勝じゃないかなと思う。

Dolphins' Tillman has knee surgery

2005-06-15 | Weblog
Miami Herald

Miami Dolphins safety Travares Tillman had surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee Tuesday, but no time has been set for his return.

The injury is not thought to be serious, but the Dolphins are going to wait before making a prognosis. Tillman hurt the knee during practice Saturday, and the team hopes to have him back in time for the start of training camp July 24.

Tillman, who spent last season with Carolina, is expected to start next season in the Dolphins' depleted secondary. The team's top three safeties all departed during the offseason.

A five-year veteran, Tillman has 69 tackles and one interception in 41 games, including 11 starts.

カロライナから来たティルマンが膝の手術をしたようです。
チームは7/24のキャンプ開始のときまで戻ることを期待してますが、
いつ戻れるかは不明のようです。

Sは昨年スターターが2人とも抜けてますので心配です。
マリオンあたりが復活なんてあるかもしれません。

Dolphins Add Two Scouts

2005-06-14 | Weblog
Dolphins Press Releases

The Miami Dolphins have added two college scouts. Ellis Rainsberger, who brings 12 years of experience as a scout in the NFL, including the last five (2000-04) with the Tennessee Titans, will scout the Midwest in the Dolphins’ system. Jack Glowik enters his first season in the NFL in 2005 after spending 25 years as an assistant in the collegiate ranks, including the last six at Northwestern, where he tutored both the defensive line (1999-2001) and tight ends/H-backs (2002-04). Glowik will cover the Mid-Central states in the Dolphins’ scouting system. In addition, the team announced that John Crea, a scout with the team for the past four years, will not be returning in 2005.

While with the Titans, Rainsberger scouted the Southeastern portion of the United States. Prior to joining Tennessee, he spent seven seasons with the Cleveland Browns/Baltimore Ravens organization (1992-98). During that time, he filled several roles, including college scout, pro personnel/advance scout and assistant defensive line coach.

Before embarking on his NFL career, Rainsberger was an assistant coach at Toledo from 1989-91, and in 1990 worked on a staff that was led by current Dolphins Head Coach Nick Saban. Prior to that, Rainsberger worked at the professional level in both the Canadian Football League and the United States Football League. He served as offensive coordinator for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (1978-83) and Toronto Argonauts (1986-88) of the CFL, while holding a position on the staffs with the Denver Gold (1983) and Pittsburgh Maulers (1984) of the USFL, having served as the Maulers’ head coach for the second half of the 1984 season. He also was a member of the CFL scouting combine from 1985-86.

Rainsberger was a three-year letterman at Kansas State (1955-57), where he was an All-Big Eight selection twice (1956-57) and an Academic All-America choice once (1957). He also lettered twice in wrestling for the Wildcats, with one Missouri Valley Conference title to his credit. He went on to serve as an assistant coach at Drake from 1959-61, before being appointed head coach at Washburn, from 1962-64. He moved on to an assistant post at Kansas in 1965 before taking a one-year stint as head coach of Southern Illinois in 1966. Stops at Illinois (1967-72) and Wisconsin (1973-74) preceded his next head coaching position, at Kansas State from 1975-77.

Rainsberger and his wife, Shirley, have six grown children, Becky, Bud, Cathy, Sandy, Chris and Mike.

Glowik began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Miami (Ohio), from 1978-79. He earned a full-time position at the school in 1980 and remained there for the next three years before moving on to North Carolina State, where he coached the defensive line for the Wolfpack from 1983-84. A year at Youngstown (1987) and two seasons at Ohio (1988-89) preceded a return to Miami (Ohio), where he was defensive line coach for the next nine years (1990-98) before joining the Northwestern staff.

Glowik was a four-year letterman as a defensive lineman at Miami (Ohio), from 1974-77, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in education in 1978. He also was part of three Mid-American Conference championship clubs, and in 1998 was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame. Glowik and his wife, Beth, have two daughters, Kelsey and Haley.

Richmond Webb Signs, Will Retire As A Dolphin

2005-06-10 | Weblog
Dolphins Press Release

One of the top offensive tackles in Miami Dolphins history has come home. The Dolphins today signed Richmond Webb, the team announced. Webb will then be placed on the teams' Reserve/Retired list tomorrow, thus allowing him to retire as a Miami Dolphin.


"I want to thank Mr. Huizenga and the Dolphins organization for giving me the opportunity to retire with the team that I started my career with," Webb said. "I致e always thought of myself as a Dolphin. I had some great coaches and tremendous teammates during my Dolphins career, and I really enjoyed being a part of such a successful franchise. In particular, I知 grateful for everything Coach Shula did for my career. I知 luck that I was able to play with Dan Marino, and I really enjoyed the years Keith Sims played next to me on the offensive line. I will cherish those moments in a Dolphin uniform forever, and I知 looking forward to being an active part of the organization as an alumnus."

Webb played 11 seasons for the franchise, from 1990-2000, after the team made him the eighth overall pick in the 1990 draft out of Texas A&M, and he immediately became one of the National Football League痴 premier offensive linemen. For his career, Webb totaled 164 regular season games played, starting 162 of them. His games-played total is tied for fifth in franchise history, while his 162 starts rank third. His 118 consecutive starts (1991-98) and seven consecutive Pro Bowls (1990-96), including four straight as a starter from 1993-96, are team records. Webb concluded his illustrious career with the Cincinnati Bengals, where he played two seasons (2001-02). During his tenure with the Dolphins, the team allowed 30 or fewer sacks in a season nine times, including a league-low 16 in 1990

引退ニュースが続きました。
でもWebbの場合は既に引退していたも同然ですが、
ドルフィンズ選手としての引退のために契約のようです。
ほんとこのひととTimboはけた外れにでかかったです。
