In 2004, I became so frustrated with my team, the Miami Dolphins. Mainly then-coach Dave Wannstedt and QB Jay Fiedler. In an attempt to vent my frustration, I created another website "Inside The Dolphin's Offense." Unfortunately, I did not have the time to keep up with it, and the initial front page (below, minus the pretty formatting) is about as far as I got.

INSIDE THE DOLPHIN'S OFFENSE

LATEST RUMOR!!! Word has it that GM Rick Spielman has offered LB Eddie Moore, San Diego DB Jamar Fletcher, and WR David Boston to the
Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for HB Larry Johnson. Spielman believes the trade would be great for both teams, as Miami would recieve the tough inside runner they
need and Boston, Fletcher and Moore would solve the Chiefs defensive woes and give the offense the big play receiving threat they are lacking. Upon hearing the news, KC Coach
Dick Vermiel simutaneously laughed and cried. (9/28/04)

ROSTER UPDATE Coach Dave Wannstedt believes so strongly that Kicker Olindo Mare will redeem himself for last year's missed field
goals against New England that he has already named Mare the starting QB for the October 10th game at Gillette Stadium. Upon hearing the news, NE Coach Bill Belichick
simutaneously laughed and cried. (9/28/04)

LATEST RUMOR!!! The Dolphins are expected to sign LL Cool J this week. Coach Wannstedt was impressed with his running ability in the
movie "Any Given Sunday." LL Cool J also played a football player on his own lame sitcom, so he should fit in with the Dolphins Offense. GM Spielman is currently attempting
to contact the Miami Sharks to work out a trade for the "Cool J." (9/28/04)

SMARTEST RB EVER UPDATE If the Dolphins can't solve the running game problems by the highly anticipated showdown November 14
with BYE, Wannstedt and Spielman will inact what is known within the organization as "Blunt Plan B" to lure RB Ricky Williams back to the team. From what we have been able to
find out, the plan involves tying a bong to a long, long piece of string, dangle in front of Williams, and slowly lure him back to the Dolphins facilities. Originally Jay Fiedler
was going to be the one pulling the string, but much to Wannstedt's chagrin, Spielman has opted to go with unproven string-puller AJ Feeley. (9/28/04)

BEST QB EVER UPDATE Former Dolphins QB Dan Marino has been awoken late the last three Sunday nights by the phone ringing. When
answered, all that can be heard on the other end is uncontrollable sobing and mumbles of "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please come back." No word yet on who the caller could be. (9/28/04)

DOLPHINS TEAM FUN UPDATE The Dolphins Defensive players have affectionately come up with nicknames for the Offensive Lineman. They
include Wade "Dwight Freeney's Bag Boy" Smith, John "Revolving Door"St Clair, Damien "My ankle is broken but I'm still better then Mark Dixon" Mc Intosh, Seth "Stop touching
my ass" McKinney, Vernon "Can I get another year of College Eligibilty" Carey, and Taylor "Goddamnit block someone mother fucker!!!" Whitley. (9/28/04)

FORMER PLAYER UPDATE Former Dolphins Offensive Linemen Mark Dixon, Tim Ruddy, Todd Wade, Jamie Nails, Todd Perry, Brent Smith, Kevin Donalley,
Keith Simms, and Richmond Webb have all been awoken the last three Sunday nights by the phone ringing. When
answered, all that can be heard on the other end is uncontrollable sobing and mumbles of "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please come back." No word yet on who the caller could be. (9/28/04)

STAT OF THE WEEK Through two and a half games, AJ Feeley has passed for a total of 523 yards. Dan Marino once passed for 521 yards in ONE GAME. Still wonder
if Wayne Huizenga considers Feeley the next Dan Marino?

The 1400 Club

I used to collect football cards when I was ten years old. It was a great way for me to learn about the players and the history of American football.

The first pack of cards I bought was from the 1989 Pro Set edition. The cards that initially caught my attention were the 1,000 Yard Club cards from Topps. These cards paid tribute to runners and receivers who topped a thousand yards in a season.

1,000 yards receiving in a season is quite an accomplishment. In the 2006 season, 19 WRs cracked the century mark. A good receiver will only catch the ball 4-8 times a game.

1,000 yards rushing, on the other hand, is overrated. 23 players had 1,000 or more yards rushing last season, and four more were within 100 yards. Of those 23, one was a quarterback (Michael Vick) and one didn't start a single game (Joseph Addai). Washington's Ladell Betts gained 770 of his 1154 yards in the last six games of the season.

A player only has to rush for 62.5 yards per game to reach 1,000 yards. Unless a RB plays on a pass happy team or splits carries with another RB, 62.5 yards rushing a game is nothing special. Definitely not something that should qualify one for their own special football card.

A thousand yards rushing meant something 30 years ago when the NFL had a 14 game schedule. It meant even more 50 years ago when team played only 12 games in a season.

A better benchmark for rushing excellence is 1400 yards. A good starting RB who carries the ball 20 or more times a game would need to rush for almost 90 yards a game to reach 1400. Six RBs reached the 1400 club last season: LaDainian Tomlinson (1815), Larry Johnson (1789), Frank Gore (1695), Tiki Barber (1662), Steven Jackson (1528), and Willie Parker (1494). Not a bad club to be in.

In todays game, a running back who can also catch the ball is invaluable to his team. The most outstanding backs strive to be a part of the Thurman Thomas Club: 2,000 total yards from scrimmage. Tomlinson, Johnson, Gore, Barber, and Jackson all reached 2,000 yards last season. If you include kick returns, Jacksonville's rookie sensation Maurice Jones-Drew (941 rushing, 436 receiving, and 860 on returns) would also be included.
