Greetings Sports Fans:

    It did not take long for a quiet off-season to turn into a busy first day of training camp. The move came out of necessity after Phillip Daniels hurt his knee in the very first drill of the very first practice. He is out for the season. That weakened a pass rush that was pretty weak to begin with.

     Cue Jason Taylor. A disgruntled Dolphin who did not care to swim with the Tuna. The Tuna is Bill Parcells, the new Vice President in Miami. Parcells didn't care for Taylor's off season activity of dancing rather than practicing with his teammates. Taylor didn't care for the way Parcells and his coaches treated him like a third round draft pick instead of a six time pro-bowler who is the NFL's active career sack leader.

   Taylor may only play for two more years, the length of his contract. To get him, the  skins gave up a second round pick next year and a sixth round pick in 2010. I think it was totally worth it. You never know what future picks will turn into. We know what Taylor can do. He had 11 sacks last season, he has 117 for his career.  When the skins play the Giants in the season opener and Taylor lines up on the left side and Carter on the right that will be an imposing tandem.

Kudos to Vinny Cerrato for acting so quickly. I think the move has tremendous upside with very little downside.

See you soon
