Good news! Center expected back for Oakland

After starter Joe Berger missed Thursday night's game and backup Cory Procter left the game with a knee injury, the Dolphins might on the surface seem to be dealing with something of a crisis at the center position today.

Relax. They are not.

Berger, who started Miami's first nine games of the season after beating out Jake Grove for the spot, is expected to return to the lineup against Oakland when the Dolphins visit the Black Hole Nov. 28. It's not so much that Berger is expected to recover in time from the knee injury the team listed for him in declaring him out last week, although that apparently should be the case.

It's that, according to a club source, the "personal issue" that Berger is attending to should be sufficiently resolved by the week of the Oakland game. 

The source declined to specify what issue Berger is dealing with but it seems clear that it as much as the knee is the reason the player missed Thursday's game. And again, the club expects the issue to be handled when Berger, who has been away from the team for a time, returns to work.

So the Dolphins don't necessarily need to go shopping for a starting center. They don't have to worry about continuing to play left guard Richie Incognito at the center position as he did much of Thursday night.

The team should be fine once Berger handles his business.

[oscar canosa]

Seems Tony is not using his hand that much anymore.

[oscar canosa]

Is Tony right or left handed? Anybody know?

[Martin]

Could you imagine this team if they wouldn't have drafted Marino???? Maybe we are the Lions?

Not even a Fist Pump!

[oscar canosa]

Well(you know), honestly(youknow), perhaps(honestly) help him.

[Shakti96]

If we get rid of the OC then who takes his place? We have had worse..ie. Chan Gailey. I would love to see Kosar or Marino take over that spot. Any ideas out there?

[oscar canosa]

A study has shown that the mentally retarded and the highly gifted do not get depressed. Henne always mantains his high spirits.

[oscar canosa]

Marino, almost.

[oscar canosa]

[odinseye]

Shat,

I think I should be our new offensive coordinator.

Have you ever read any of my post? They are truly OFFENSIVE!

If ya'll elect me, the first thing I'll do is cut Fields. We won't be needing a punter.

The second thing I'll do is cut ALL the running backs and replace them with WR's!

When I go to 4 and 5 wides, it'll be Wide Receivers!

Playing with a lead? I'll be playing with defensive coordinators heads!

Parcells, MAFIA? How about BLOW HARD.

I'll run dis shyt like Da real MAFIA and Don Shula will be my consigliere.

[ALoco]

ODIN, CAN YOU PLAY LOVE STORY AND YOU BELONG WITH ME BY TAYLOR SWIFT ?

[cowkilla]

Shake...i say our next OC should ve Armando...because he likes to start stories off slow, lull you to sleep with those same stories over and over again, and he doesnt have time for us anymore...but thats still more than henning does..

[Martin]

Irie! Odin

[KYLE]

CAN SOME BODY FIRE FREAKING DAN HENNING.....

[Kris]

Joe Schmoe....In saw your post, your plan if you will... I commend you because of all the posters on here you are the only one that came up with something resembeling a plan of attack.

But even your plan starts after the seson ends, which is what common sense dictates.

Thats my point.

They're are many factors that go into the firing of the OC mid-season...and normally it doesn't end well. The only 2 coaches I can think of in recent history are The Raven's old coach, Brian Billick, (still got fired) and now Mike Singletary (His team is still garbage...but it seems they may have found thier QB in Troy Smith)

Without oversimplifying things, my persepective of the NFL is pretty simple....If you have a top-notch QB your coaching staff looks pretty smart....the flip side of that is what we and 20 other teams/staffs look like.

Wasn't Brad Childress among the smartest coaches last year...so smart he got an extension...this year not so much.

John Fox was the hot hand while Jake Delhome had the hot hand.

Does any head coach that goes to Indy even coach? Who is Indy's head coach?

Belicheat didn't win anything without Brady

and Shanahan looks pretty pedestrian in DC....Far removed from the same guy who coached Elway.

Its a QBs league and I would be hard pressed to name 5 other OC in this league with out google.......

[odinseye]

NO Aloco!

I'm misunderstood and I sing like a Tasmanian Devil!

There's a zillion things I like about Taylor Swift but it ain't her music. I just can't get into it!

[ALoco]

ODIN, DO YOU KNOW TAYLOR SELLS MORE MUSIC THAN ANY ONE IN THE WORLD .

[oscar canosa]

Yeah, that's the mentality here, thet you can get by with a pedestrian QB. NOT SO, at this moment.

[ALoco]

YOU GOT FIRST GET A QB THEN THE REST AND THE COACH WILL BE A GREAT COCH BUT IF YOU DON'T HAV A QB THEN YOU WILL HAVE A SALSA TEAM

[oscar canosa]

Who the hell is Indy's head Coach?(I have to be getting drunk by this time).

[redsky]

odin thx, great pick for my exit song!

[odinseye]

Realistically speaking and for all intent and purposes, Peyton Manning is the Head Coach!!!!

[odinseye]

Aloco,

I took some fat buterfly cuts, stuffed them with some stove top and wrapped them in lean BACON!

Put some Brussel Sprouts in a thick creamy cheeze sause on the side!

[Kris]

Kris,

I have to agree with you.

Dan Henning is one offensive coordinator that shouldn't have made the team!

[ALoco]

ODIN, YOU HAVING VERY GOD DINER ,NOW YOU NEED A NICE LOOKING GIRL FRIEND ,

[odinseye]

Wrong again my Friend

[redsky]

[Darryl Dunphy]

ALoco..What would you cook Taylor Swift for lunch? Would you have Mamma Maria do the cooking and then take the credit? I would make her Spaghetios with hot dogs.
