Cobbs focused on getting knee and head right(ARTICLE WRITTEN BY MIKE BERADINO) Patrick Cobbs can still see the play in his mind.
It came off one of many Wildcat snaps the Dolphins used in their first win over the Jets last season. On this one play, however, a hard tackle by Jets linebacker Bryan Thomas cost the Dolphins dearly.
Trailing 24-20 midway through the fourth quarter, they lost Cobbs, one of their most versatile contributors, for the rest of the season.
"It was an end around," Cobbs says of that handoff from Ronnie Brown. "I got the ball. The play was kind of dead. I tried to plant to stay read more...
Position Battles to Watch (7/30)
As late July rolls around each year, NFL fans across the country become filled with excitement and optimism as a new season approaches. That’s definitely the case in South Florida as the Dolphins open up the 2010 version of training camp on Friday, July 31st. And while many are focused on Brandon Marshall’s impact on the offense, Chad Henne’s development as a quarterback, and the health of Ronnie Brown & Ricky Williams, the defense is where the big training camp storylines exist.

Fantasy Outlook
Here’s an overview of the Dolphins Key Fantasy Players and where you might want to take them in your upcoming fantasy draft:
The Early Round Stud: Brandon Marshall (late 2nd round/Early 3rd round)

Where is the Veteran Leadership (7/31)Everyday I take phone calls, emails (bigo@wqam.com) & Facebook questions (bigoshow) about how Koa Misi, Jared Odrick, Vontae Davis, Sean Smith, Cam Wake and every other young guy needs to step up! Isn't that the obvious? The real challenge falls on the Trifecta of Parcells, Ireland & Sparano.

For example, at linebacker Dolfans are expecting a lot from Cameron Wake and Koa Misi. My question is where read more...
Training Camp Preview
Joe Rose Q&A (7/31)
Q: What is the impact Brandon Marshall will have on this team?
A: Brandon Marshall will totally change the direction of this offense by having him on the outside as a really big-time #1 receiver. It is going to help the receivers on the other side; it’s going to help the receivers in the slot. I expect all those guys that had good years last year to have even better years like Bess, Camarillo and Hartline, and the tight ends are the ones that I am really, really looking for a bounce read more...
