Two Bills Drive

The Bills introduced new running backs coach James Saxon today. The 33-year-old Saxon, formerly an assistant coach at Div. III Menlo College in San Francisco, participated in Buffalo’s 1999 training camp under the Ralph C. Wilson Minority Fellowship coaching program.

The Dolphins have shown an interest in Trent Green but don’t have much to offer. The Dolphins who were ‘one player away from the Superbowl’ last year so they traded their first round pick last year to the 2nd round pick to the Falcons,

The Dolphins did not do too bad on the deal since the Falcons nose dived in 1999 giving the Dolphins an early 2nd round pick but most analysts think that getting Green will require a first round pick to trade with the Rams.

Other scuttlebutt is that the Dolphins may be trying to package their two 2nd round picks to the Rams with a player to the Rams.

Once again the Dolphins are trying to transform themselves into the Cowboys. Besides following Jimmy Johnson’s questional practice of looking for players with trouble with the law, the former coach of the Cowboys Dave Wannstedt is finalizing plans to bring in Chan Gailey as offensive coordinator.

Today we are going to have to rethink our blueprints for winning championships in the NFL. The old one, put in place by coaches such as Bill Parcells, said that teams must run the football, control the clock and play tough defense.
