Anyone watch Parcells' interview on Monday Night Countdown?

Option number one is most likely trade down if it can be done. He's going to want alot of bodies.

I'm watching him now.

i think trading down is the best option.

but the problem is, nobody ever wants to trade up.

I've been watching him, I think it's great. He gives a lot of insight into us fans. I like the last bit where Keyshawn "translated" for Bill...."I have the #1 pick and you better not hold out!"

Bill is classic.

I'am starting to understand a new perspective in the NFL, which is getting young players just for the fact that their young and fast is HIGHLY OVERRATED.

the perspective is on perfect display in new england, they covet smart physical football players no matter the age and i'am starting to see why they have that perspective, the difference of speed from when you are 35 compared to 30 is NOT THAT MUCH, the difference of intelligence and experience is monumental, the purpose of writing this post is to express that jason taylor and zach thomas are perfect for bill parcells football, their smart, instinctive with locker room presense.

I will go out on a limb and say that bill will keep both and not even think twice about it.

As i'am writing i just watched bill talk and say goodbye on monday night countdown.... I TRULY COULD LISTEN TO THAT MAN TALK FOR HOURS AND HOURS. I swear i just got a little choked up because of how smart he is and how lucky we are for him to run our beloved dolphins.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.

Sounds to me like he's being more involved then a lot of people re claiming. I think anyone who honestly thinks Bill isn't going to be acting as our GM, atleast for the first year or so, is fooling themselves. He's going to be running the show from the top to the bottom for the first year. Later on he may relinquish most of the GM duties to whoever he hires to be GM, but for the first couple months im positive he'll be making almost every move himself.

Watched it, though it was a great interview, especially the questions centered around Tuna watching the Patriot's game.

He said he was looking for things like our substitution packages, play calling, then he went on to say that he was watching the game as a scout, but only watching the Dolphins only, to see how the players were used and the game managed.

I think if we crossed out "scout" and substituted "Coach making a game plan" and he would be telling the truth of the matter...

He went on to say that he will talk to "Both Fellas" and get their take on why the season has turned out the way that it has on Thursday....I would love to be a fly on the wall for both of those interviews...IMO, CamRan's futures are hinging on what they have to say...

I think their futures will have already been decided before those talks even occur.

Then Parcells isn't doing his job.

I concur.

I didn't say which way Parcells decided. Maybe he already decided hes keeping them? Who knows.

Maybe, Tuna may know what is wrong with the 2007 Dolphins, he may want to see if they know what is wrong with the 2007 Dolphins, two wrong answers and there "could" be looking for work Jan 2008.

You think they both are fired Snips?

All i can say is I'm glad im not the one making the decision. But i will say this, Miami has a lot more talent on the team then a 1-14 record. Cameron lost 6 games by a field goal, but somehow you gotta think a better coach would have won some of those games by a field goal. Camerons just made some down right silly calls and weird moves.

Lorenzo Bookers looked awesome the last two games....Ronnie got hurt oh so long ago, WHY wasn't Booker playing earlier? Why call for a pooch kick that went out of bounds and almost cost us our ONLY win of the season against Baltimore? Cameron doesn't demand respect in the locker room, cause players don't say much about him at all.

Personally i don't think cameron has 'it'. I'm not against keeping Cameron, there's a few reasons why we should. But i'd understand if Parcells went a different way.

As far as GM, well I think mueller did a pretty good job here, but GM is going to be the position that Parcellls works closely with, and he'll probably want his own right hand man for that.

One of the things I really do like about Tuna's arrival is the fact that he knows what good football teams should look like, he knows why teams can be bad, so if a decision on Cam or Mueller is made after the season, I do have confidence in Parcells to make the right move.

It is the replacements if a move is made that worry me, I wouldn't hire Tom Coughlin on a bet, he's like Marty S only worse in the playoffs.

Tuna may bring in Garret, but my gut is telling me that Tuna is not going to take such a huge experimental chance with a new HC Hire.

The premise of all of this is Tuna knows best, which is dangerously close to "In Saban we Trust", difference being, Tuna has a longer track record of success.

I think Mueller is pretty much gone. Cam is 50/50 right now I think (I've wanted Cam gone for a while).

Yes, Mueller is either gone or as good as gone. He won't be making Ted Ginn sized picks if he is kept.

Cameron is likely gone as well.

Parcells will clean house. He is going to want his own guys who have talent and don't make goofy play calls like Cameron does. Cameron and Mueller are goners imo ...as are most of the assistant coaches and scouts.

im not going to say mueller and cameron will be gone

but i will say this; we will have the best GM and coach that parcells can bring in. i'm sure cameron and mueller will get their fair shot. if parcells thinks they are better than anyone else out there, then hell keep them. if he thinks someone else can do better, they will be brought in

cameron and mueller aren't owed anything. they don't deserve 'another' chance. they deserve a fair evaluation, and that is what parcells will do.

I just hope he Keep Ronnie Brown, Ronnie was our best Player the First half of the season no doubt

I think he is saying parcells job is to see what is wrong with the organization and fix it. Not make decisions on something he decided even a week ago.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.

here's how I see it. Teams like NE and Indy draft based on who they want, not by who is good value and their picks always work out (See NE taking Logan Mankins, and The Colts taking Dwight Freeney,Dallas Clark, and Bob Sanders). They know what type of player they want, and they develop them by... wait for it... playing them. They may not be starters but they give them roles to learn, and when the time comes they are ready to play.

Ty Warren and Vince Wilfork were starters their second years in the league, but they rotated in and became good players. Kelvin Hayden and Marlin Jackson were nicklebacks for 2 years, and have been IMO one of the better CB corps in the league this year.

I think the one thing Parcells does do is give us direction. He knows what type of players he wants where in the past I didn't really get that impression

One thing I see as a fact (though since it's just the way I see it, it's still an opinion... Weird how that works): If Cam is kept, he will be the Head Coach only and there will be an OC to make the calls. No more double-duty...

I'm really excited about the changes to come. Really, no matter what the changes are...

good players are good old or young
