    You're a new staff coming in, and the one thing I've told every one of our players, and I hope they hear this loud and clear, is that it's a show-me game, and at the end of this we're going to watch what they do every single time they walk through the door in our building," Sparano said last month. "We want to see them and we're evaluating them, so, starting Day 1, show me."
    The rookies will most likely be scrutinized by Dolphins Vice President of Football Operations Bill Parcells, who loves prowling the practice fields in search of unsuspecting players he can needle.

    "I know he's going to be a great man and that he's a legendary coach and a person who's hard," said defensive end Phillip Merling, a second-round pick. "And I like that type of coaching, someone who is going to get on you."

    The undrafted rookies know their college statistics mean nothing.

    I'm excited about these rookies. We didn't get a lot of "skill position" players this year, but once we're stronger on the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, we can go after the playmakers. I'm really, really sick of seeing the Phins pushed around at the point of attack. That's where football games are won and lost.

    The Dolphins are laying the foundation for the future of the Dolphins and are taking it serious. I think you will see tweaking quite a bit from here on out. I don't think we will see the Dolphins hanging on to unproductive players out of sentiment any longer.
    I bet you wont see a cupcake training camp this year like last year either.

    I just hope Parcells keeps the invasive tactics to a minimum. It's basically Sparano's show now, and I think the players need to see a distinct line between Overlord and Head Coach.
