    I don't remember him saying anything like the comment about cutting a position or talking about what are weakest positions were.

    The quotes he used don't sound anything like what Ross would say. I think you all got trolled.

    Here's the transcript of the media round table meeting where these quotes allegedly took place.

    "I just believe that we have the nucleus of a great winning team," Ross said. "The proof is always in the pudding, but I definitely think the ingredients are there."

    This is in the transcript though the quotes came from two different answers to two different questions.

    "Not to say there won't be another surprise cut similar to what happened to linebacker Channing Crowder on Friday. Or that the team won't sign more backup depth - running back, safety and guard are the three weakest positions."

    Even though Abbi in his original post attributes these quotes to Ross, none of this is in the transcript. It doesn't even sound like something Steven Ross would say. Why would he say the RB position is weak when he just brought in Reggie Bush and is trying to sell him to South Florida as an every down back who can be a dynamic game changer? And why would he say anything about surprise cuts? All that would do is have every vet on your team looking over their shoulder the whole rest of camp.

    You guys got trolled...by a person with 127 posts...and a chicken little avatar.

    I didn't word that well. I meant strong nucleus other than QB, which is uncertain, because we don't know yet how Henne is going to do. Will he continue to improve or has he already shown us the best he has to offer? None of us really know that yet.

    I'm not confident that Lex can be a reliable up back. You know with Marion off the market, I'd almost consider resigning Ronnie to be the 3rd RB and use him as the up back. He is a very good blocker too and one very big goal for me this season if I'm Tony, is nobody gets close to my punter!!! Maybe Lex could be a good blocker there, but it seems a bit of an unknown to me. I guess I want a sure thing there.

    Sounds like Predators. Man I hate sci fi bull crap movies like that too. Brody was very good in The Thin Red Line.

    Ross does like to ramble on, but don't make too much of it. He is a fan, and he is enthusiastic and he desperately wants to bring a winner to Miami. As for the actual things he says, I consider it about as astute as what some guy sitting next to you, drinking beers at the corner bar would say. Best not get into any deep discussions with them, just smile politely and nod every now and then.

    Looks like it was something posted by Ben Volin yesterday evening, which may be why you were having a hard time finding it. I added the relevant link to the first page so everyone can see it. You can also find it here.

    As a reminder to everyone, please make sure you are linking to the articles you reference, especially if you are going to quote them.

    I am thinking more like 1-3.We will not be ready for new england offensivley because of the lockout,we never seem to beat the chargers and we have never beaten the texans.
    With a new offensive system being installed we are going to struggle offensive the first half of the season.

    Well the thing is, Sparano will have been here for a long time now, we should EXPECT to win 1 or 2 of those games, play time is over so to speak.

    Up until last season [or was it 09, I cant remember] we owned the Chargers. They had not beaten us in years. We had a big win over them in 2008.

    I think we'll get at least a win in somewhere. Houston is an automatic loss. It's hard to be optimistic about New England after what they did to us twice last season.

    Well folks

    Looking forward to the year we actually get out of the great Nucleus stage.....

    To bad we actually are playing against teams that are in Veterans with skills, experience,and talent mode, and know what it's like to play in the NFL........

    Positives we have a good defense hopefully the Organization will put together a Offense within the next 4 years so that some of the guys we have on defense won't be rotted away by the time the new organization gets here and we go through another building of a great Nucleus........

    Jets signed Plex........... ah he sucks right we really don't care and WE have hartline anyway and think of the money were saving........... WTF

    It's like we're kids trying to play with men.............. sorry and please forgive me just the last tens years of frustration coming out and I just can' t seem to be able to pretend that alls wellllll

    The games haven't started yet so there's always the chance we could be pleasantly surprised. It is possible.
