Lorenzo Booker=Safe
45 replies
I dont know if anyone else caught this, but during Miami's first drive of the Cinncy game Lorenzo Booker caught a little out pattern and hustled for a first down. It flashed to Parcells in the booth and he clearly says (lip reading) "Keep Booker". Of course right after that Booker dropped what would have been a sure first down to keep the drive alive. But it appears that the Tuna liked what he saw as we all did. I realize this is not earth shattering news as the talent is obvious to most. I just thought it was an interesting glimpse into exactly how Tuna was working that game.
sounds good. its a bit of a shame we didnt see more of booker earlier in the year. but id say he definately earned his spot with this team in the last few weeks of this season.

Of course the Tuna likes what he saw. Bookers a quick scat back with the ability to make people miss. I haven't seen anyone in a Dolphins uniform make people miss like that since...ever.

What's so crazy about it is that it took this long for him to actually get on the field. I don't think we will ever know the actual reasoning behind him not getting any playing time even with all of the injuries.

Oh we know the answer... i'll give you a hint, his first name is the same as his last.

ya I think that will be part of Cam's downfall.

Actually, its been said many times, its just no one's listening or wants to agree with it.
For him to be active, a better ST would have had to been inactive. Plus, he's not much of a pass blocker, which has been needed, and he missed a lot of time in camp. He actually was involved in a small amount of plays earlier in the season, and did nothing. It's funny how everyone assumes, that since he's playing well now, that he would've played that way from the first game. Maybe, just maybe, I know this is crazy, but maybe, he's playing this well now, because of the practice he's had for most of the season. Or does Cam just hate him? Really, what sounds more likely?

Isn't he the Bill Cosby looking guy that's always rapping on ESPN?
Booker is a lot like Barry Sanders. Well atleast he has the quick moves and the number goin for him.:thumbup:

Unfortunately his career was almost 20 years before i existed, so yes.
I like him too.
Even though..he can not take hits WHAT SO EVER.
I remember when they gave him the ball in the redzone (on the drive where Tedd Ginn caught it in the inzone by the pylon) And it was a inside rn, between the lefgt guard and tackle..and as soon as he hit the hole, he got WACKED. IT wanst a big hit..but the way the defender hit him, and he flew back showed that he needs to work being more physicall.

I cant imagine he said "Keep Booker". I'd find it really hard to believe there'd be any real consideration into cutting any 1st day rookies.
i dont think he'd be in a rush to cut an unproven/promising 3rd round draft pick.

:rockon:
I watched the same thing and I think he actually said "Lord, please help me" as he's wondering why he signed on the dotted line to try to turn our disaster around.

I'll have to go back and look at that.. good to see you Matt.. happy new year. LoBook not being used until last resort, even though it is obvious that he is a playmaker, has to reflect badly upon Cam.. and the Ronnie Brown returner share reps with Chatman thing too.

Troy Sradford too. But yeah i am sure Booker is a keeper. i am surprised we even have to discuss his name. I suppose with Big Bill here, everyone will be a little worried about their jobs, even people we consider locks for next year.

Could he have said "Sweep Booker"?

Parcells had to watch Booker and envisioned another Dave Megget.

Booker will be better than meggett IMO. Meggett was essentially a 3rd down/ST player. Booker can be more of a team player than him, if not a great returner like meggett was.
Maybe he said "She's a looker"?
And Lo Book is pretty good.

It wouldn't surprise me if he is retained. Jeff Ireland is the nightmare that won't end. The **** stain you cannot flush. The Herpes for which there is no cure.
I think the reason Mueller gave on WQAM was that he was down the depth chart and could only get in on ST but wasn't as good as others on ST so he was left off.
roniie returning kicks
I have heard so much aobut Ronnie brown returning kicks at the begining of the season. If I remeber corectly at the time ronnie was not up to par again and cam called him out and did it to motivate him to step it up and it worked. So I think it was a good idea and it worked so much for it being a bad thing. It's amazing how short some peoples memory is.
