DCM

Can you see Russia from your house?

Well....to me, it means that Dom Capers must be a good DC who might be in demand if the Fins had to make him the highest paid assistant in the NFL to keep him. I think it means WH did a good job of retaining Capers as a "security" blanket so Cameron wouldn't be over-whelmed with responsibility as so many other successful coordinators who couldn't make the transition to HC, even AFTER being proven coordinators. (Gregg Williams, Mike Mularkey ) It means Wayne Huizenga isn't a cheap bastard. It means the Fins seem to want to maintain their defense while re-tooling the offense. It means Cam Cameron is a 1st year Head Coach who prolly has to prove himself to get paid more in the future. IMO.....even though Cam is THE HC, Dom will have most of the power on the defensive side of the ball. From what I've read, Cam will concentrate on the Offense and along with the GM (Randy Mueller) will determine draft strategy. btw...I believe that Hudson Houck maybe the highest paid O-Line Coach in the league too.... Houck and Capers are the only two who are definately coming back next season. Other assistants are being interviewed to determine their status is what I have read.

From what I have been reading....Mularkey will be sent packing after the new offense has been installed. Rumors have been circulating that current QB coach Jason Garrett might be the new OC in Miami but that Cam will be doing the playcalling on game day. Garrett recently declined an offer by Nick Saban to become his new OC in Alabama. Keep in mind, this is what I have been reading.....not published reports.

I would have liked to see Martz as well.....but as someone pointed out awhile back, Martz's offenses are always near the bottom of the NFL in rushing attempts year in and year out...with the way this division is set up, you have to be able to run the ball in December and January.... besides, all I've ever heard about Martz is what an arrogant SOB he is....

I pretty much read most of the opinions on the hiring of Cam Cameron as head coach of the Fins.....typical trashing of Cameron I expected. But...I do have a question for those of you who have said this hiring is great news for Bills' fans......Is or was there a coach available that in your opinion would NOT BE great news for Bills fans. Some names mentioned as possible candidates: Ron Rivera DC/ Bears Brian Schottenheimer OC/Jets Jim Mora Jr. HC/Falcons Chan Gailey HC/Georgia Tech Mike Shula HC/Alabama Mike Martz OC/Lions Ken Whisenhunt OC/Stillers Mike Tomlin DC/Vikings Dom Capers DC/Fins I found it very interesting the Fins offered Capers a BIG $ contract extension to stay with the Fins as their DC, while the man most of you would like to see get the HC job (MEATHEAD) wasn't even considered as the next HC. I have a feeling Mike's days might be numbered in Miami. I think they may keep him to help the offense transition into the new one, but after that....buh bye. I do believe Cameron's offensive expertise is why he was chosen. The feeble Fin's offense this year was a big deciding factor in who would be the next to lead the Fins.

"You should see those 'tards at that site. I'm usually not one for excessively busting nuts, but those guys make BF sound like a brain surgeon."..... Wow. You know, I often wonder why I don't post as much as I used to on The Wall, the greatest football message board on the entire internet, with some of the most knowledgeable, passionate fans in the NFL..... but, then all of a sudden, I am reminded why. Thanks for the reminder, btw....I am happy for many of you who are rejoicing in the Fin Fans misery, you know what they say about misery. Atleast we won't be watching the playoffs alone.... I for one am very disappointed in Saban leaving.....but, I'd rather him leave than stay if his heart wasn't in it!

Wow.....that's $35,000 more than Moulds got for spitting in Surtain's face...

Randy Cross is a Donkey..... Dierdorf every Monday night game would say and I quote "There's nobody better than this guy in the NFL......" that is, until next week when whoever is playing is suddenly better than the guy (who a week ago) was the best! If Bryant Gumbel would stop using phrases like......"Now the Bengals are forced to relinquish the ball......" Relinquish???? There ought to be a Man-Law against football announcers using "relinquish" during play by play!

GO RAVENS!!!!! except Todd Heap.....shut him down!!!!! DIE BENGALS DIE!!!!! except Chad Johnson, I need a big night from him.....

Did he spell anyone's name right?

Look on the bright side.....after the first 8 minutes of the game, you looked like a genius!

ALWAYS shown up on Thanksgiving? You mean like last year? Or the year before? Without looking it up, I think they got outscored by over 50 points! News Flash......The Lions are always home underdogs.....

Sooooo you think the Lions are about to "get hot"? They just friggin' lost to the friggin' Cardinals and looked really bad doing it.... I'm not calling you out on your betting prowess.....just not buying your reasons for declaring the Lions as a sure fire bet. Turnovers are probably one of the most determining factors that decide who wins and who loses by "x" amount of points...I guess if your stance is that the Fins were "given" these turnovers and not "forced" them, I would agree more with you. Besides, I admit I'm bias.....I'm still giddy because I picked up the Fin defense for my fantasy team off free agency and they scored BIG for me! I just think the Dolphin defense is playing really well right now, don't know the rankings.....they are just making plays. I just can't see the Lions all of a sudden playing like the Chargers this week just cuz they have turkey waiting for them at home. No Kevin Jones will hurt them if he can't go.....Ronnie was shut down, absolutely shut down by the number 1 run defense in the entire NFL.....and they still managed a win and cover..... My 1 biggest concern going into Detroit is Olindo Mare....seems his confidence is shaky....and if you have a shaky kicker in a close game....well, you know.

Don't you think you might be able to find a better bet? Why would you bet against a team that has just won 3 in a row over the Bears, Chiefs and Vikings? If anything the Fins have shown is that they are streaky team....losing streaks.....winning streaks..... unless you think the Fins will win but, not cover.... How healthy is the best player on the Lions tonite?
