who are the players/coaches really feeling the constraint of urgency, the stress to produce on this years roster?
:omg:
the big ten under the gun to produce big-time:
1) Taylor- returns under a cloud of disappointment & injury
2) GinnJr- # 9 pick overall (our #1) & still has not made his bones in the NFL as a WR or Return Specialist
3) Grove- great expectations to anchor the line, an expensive center piece & gamble
4) Wake- the best of the Canadian league, great promise & potential, tremendous up-side & expectations, which translates in a serious potential to disappoint. the guy is under the microscope. he has to hit the ground running
5) J.Allen- last chance for what was considered a tremendous prospect, in an extremely talented & upgraded defensive backfield. no more excuses. he has to produce.
7) Soliai- (Fergie growing old * prone to injury or burn out?) 3-4 has to have a premiere NT & Paul will step up or parish @ the point of attack in 2009
8) Brown- new contract, unfulfilled promise, four years of very good but not elite performance, FranchiseBack or TandemBack, to be decided $$$ :yes:Ronnie must define himself in 2009
9) Wilford- last shot @ TE? big difference between TE & WR. better have an outrageous training camp to survive the cut
10) Special Teams Coordinator: John Bonamego- this is the Dolphin AchillesHeel. he's got to get the job done or walk. no more need be said

PhinsRock and RickyNeverInhaled like this.

Taylor brings with him his own pressure to excel & lead. He wants to go out as a Dolphin on top & knows the New Regime will not give him anything unearned. there is big-time pressure on Jason by Jason.
-
agreed
-
Gibril Wilson can be added to the list. As well as everyone we've drafted. Specially our top 3 picks.
-
Clemons could be a real surprise, once the pads go on...everybody has to compete
-
FriendFinserg: he's run out of time
GinnJr needs to step up w/o excuse as both WR & Return Specialist
he was supposed to be the next Hester (da bears)
our first pick, #9 overall, has got to produce or walk
got other very, very fast WR's & people who can return the ball w/o the big contract
Armstrong, Chris Williams, Brennan Marion
are three that could step up as GinnJr steps down
PS: speed is the first thing to go with age:yes:he's got to play football
:pity: he will contribute according to contract & expectation or parish :pity:
it is my expectation he will step up :up: -
I expect Tony Sparano has instilled a significant sense of urgency in just about 80 players on the roster right now. Tony loves to remind his players there is open competition at EVERY position, and this is a perform-or-be-cut team.

Kudos, Friend PhinsRock,
absolutely on the money!
