    So "might be the only one" now means he's definitively the only one?

    blame for this one lies on Sparano's shoulders alone IMO.
    having said that, Pouncey will probably be okay.

    Regardless Pete that is piss poor, where unorganization and unpreparedness now sadly seems to be the hallmark of this organization.....

    Maybe not the only one, but in the vast minority....the one you don't want to be a part of...

    He can easily get one from a player, no? I fault the Coaching staff for not giving him one, but hopefully he can get down to a Kinko's and copy Incognito's.

    The only thing I'm seeing is, "I guess we’ll handle the playbook sometime down the line," said Pouncey.

    If everything else is your comments, we can't represent them as quoted text i.e. misquote the author. And the thread title is misleading two-fold.

    At any rate, I don't see how they didn't give him a playbook. Ridiculous.

    Calm down folks, Pouncey said "I'll join in the unofficial workouts when Mr. Long tells me"

    Big Jake is handling all things Oline during the lockout so no worries.

    As an aside, Jake Long has to be the quietest player I've ever seen on the Dolphins, as a #1 overall pick you just never hear anything from the man other than saying "Henne still has the locker room"...that is about it.

    Quiet toughness IMO.

    He's leading offseason workouts. He's curt with the media. He's giving orders about what and what not to talk about. And you see Pouncy already falling in line.

    Big Jake seems to be taking on a leadership role this offseason. And it's a bonus when the best, most physically dominating player on the team is that guy.

    The quiet alpha male.

    Considering Mike knew to wait for word from Jake, means either someone else told him whats up, or Jake himself (i am guessing this one) contacted him, welcomed him, and told him the deal.

    Jake lets his actions lead. And its working.

    I'll neve forget Joey Porter, during his NFLN segment while still with the phins, saying "What's up Big Jake!!" in the cafeteria, Porter seemed to me to be the type of cat who does not respect anyone but he respected Big Jake.

    Big O - "That's nice, at least you where able to get a playbook this weekend, so that's going to help you out, right?"
    Mike Pouncey - "Oh yeah, of course"

    Ummmm.... why is nobbody else thinking what I am thinking? Who did we pick Pouncey for? Once the free agency and trades are re initiated, who are we trading Pouncey for? Looks to me like the Dolphins did a wink and nod with another team to draft Pouncey and trade him after the fact. I am sorry but that is the only thing that makes sense when you draft a guy that needs to learn 2 different positions without a playbook......

    Henne did have those meetings with Daboll earlier in the year. In the age that we live in, all there needs to be is one playbook.

    No tree's are near Jake Long's residence, he cuts them down to use them to work out.

    I forgot to add, Jake Long cuts down the tree's with the end of his hand (like hendrix) then while sweating during workouts, his sweat immedatley grows red wood trees. He is pretty much scientifically responsible for us having oxygen.

    Jake Long invented Matt Ryan when he pissed on a Ken O'brien rookie card and sold it on ebay to Matt Ryans eventual birth giver for 89 cents, and the dna made her pregnant once she opened the package from Fedex.

    Great post. Not only the most physically dominating - but also, pretty clearly, the best player on the team.

    Bull crap, there were plenty of teams that did not hand out playbooks to anyone. St. Louis has a new OC and they handed out nothing to no one either. Complete BS Pouncey was the only one. The title of this thread should be changed. I have been warned about posting far less important crap then how the lead sentence of this post reads.
