''My expectations are to be player of the year in the National Football League,'' Vontae Davis said over a background din of cheering and partying.

It will be a surprise, and somewhat disappointing, if Davis is not starting opposite fellow cornerback Will Allen in the season opener.

True. ;)

One scouting report mentioned ''poor work ethic'' and noted that he ''does not take instruction well.''

Well, I think Sparano will buckle up out that Prima donna's chin strap real fast. :D

''Everybody who knows Vontae knows I'm a great person,'' he said Saturday. ``I consider myself to be the complete corner.''

Man, I hate when people refer to themselves in the third person. Well, i guess it worked for Deon. I guess, it's better to be confident. :D

I like the fact Davis has plenty of speed and plenty of strength to press bigger receivers at the line.

Very true. We need that. ;)

(Put it this way. If you are knocking on the front door to meet your girlfriend's dad for the first time, you pray he isn't Bill Parcells or Tony Sparano.)

That would be kind of annoying. :D

yet the argument for a corner is strong in a division, the AFC East, that includes a premier opposing quarterback in Tom Brady and vaunted star receivers such as Randy Moss and now Terrell Owens, too.

True!

- opens an interesting scenario in terms of Jason Taylor. Taylor, the team's all-time leader in sacks who played with Washington last year, is a free agent who would love to rejoin the Dolphins.

Miami should re-sign Taylor. Period.

Hmmm

Just as the idea is that Vontae Davis will be a shutdown cover-corner who is on opposing receivers like beads of sweat.

I hope.

But the people making Saturday's decisions were the same people who took over a team that had finished 1-15 and from that mess fashioned a team that finished 11-5 last season and made the playoffs.

True. We have to remind ourselves of that fact. Woooo!

``I look forward to competing with the other defensive backs and make everyone else raise their games. It's a blessing to be going there.''

Davis was tied for the second fastest 10 yard split at the combine (1.47) among DB's and had the fastest 20 yard split (even ahead of Butler). Hes truly a super athlete.

:hammertime: I don't know which of our CBs is going to step up and play ( :praying: both of them! ) but I'll be damned if it isn't going to be one of them!

:woot:
