Hey, wait, what happened to Shawn Murphy?
You remember Shawn Murphy, right? Son of Dale? Former fourth-round pick? The talk of this sports town just one year ago? The guy who had improved so much, after a lost rookie year, that he was working with the first team? The guy who according to Sparano, was "much stronger now physically, without a doubt and I think in a lot better shape, so I think we are going to see him take some steps forward here?"
That guy never stepped foot on the field for the Dolphins during a regular-season game.
They cut him in October. He has been claimed and cut by two teams since.
And so let's be careful not to make any claims based on what's happening during Organized Team Activities. Let's not make the mistake of assuming that players' apparent roles in May or June will have any bearing on what occurs in the fall and winter.
It's an eternity between now and the opener.
So most of what you hear now is inanity. We're just feeding the beast, but it's not necessarily nourishing.
