Pat White goes to Miami (Q&A)


On if the Dolphins spoke to him about the Wildcat offense in interviews: “Yes sir, I have heard a lot about the Wildcat, and I am happy to be a part of it.”

On his expectations of where he would be drafted: “I had no expectations coming into the draft. I was just hoping that someone would give me a chance, and the Dolphins have. I am grateful and ready to get to work.”

On if he thinks he will be utilized primarily as a wide receiver or quarterback, and at which position he worked out most: “I can play multiple positions, so I’ll see where I end up.

Pat White rises in many draft projections



From Yahoo! Sports:
Everyone loves a second-guessed underdog who will show up the system. Everyone loves criticizing the NFL’s Neanderthal group-think about the size and strength of what makes a player.

Here’s the thing, though. White may still be dealing with old stereotypes about prototypical size and skill sets. He may also be entering a rapidly changing league where, thanks to New England’s Bill Belichick (and his expanding influence), multi-skilled, multi-position players are more valuable than ever.

Combine that with the offense du jour – the Wildcat, which features some principles of the spread offense and has revolutionized the college game – and White may find he’s in demand not in spite of his unorthodox quarterback abilities, but because of them.

That may not make him your typical franchise quarterback, such as Georgia’s Matthew Stafford or USC’s Mark Sanchez, but he could be the steal of the draft. His selection offers a referendum on just how much the league and its thinking have changed.

Watch a Bill Stewart Press Conference



If you watch the Bill Stewart press conference on Fox Sports Net, it tells a completely different story than what you might read about it in the paper.

At this week's conference he credited Cincinnati for stopping us, reminding everyone that he had warned this was the toughest defense we had faced yet. Because if there were anything that these press conferences have been good for, its been for making up excuses and not being accountable for coaching decisions.
