Somebody in Miami Thinks Dolphins Safeties Are Better Than, Well, Dallas' Roy Williams

I would love to meet these "Dolphins officials" to ask if they were drunk or high when they made these comments. Via the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson, anonymous source maestro:

Some Dolphins officials believe their safeties are better than Dallas'. Among the best battles in camp: Jason Allen (first-team snaps in May/June), Renaldo Hill (expects to be 100 percent after surgery to an anterior cruciate ligament) and former Falcons starter Chris Crocker vying to start opposite Yeremiah Bell. ''Jason has a lot of speed and I like what I see, as much as you can like in shorts and a T-shirt,'' secondary coach Todd Bowles said.

Also worth finding out: are these "officials" part of the coaching staff/scouting department, or do they work in the ticket office/accounting/anywhere but coaching staff or scouting department? I'm going with the latter.

In any event, assuming somebody actually believes this to be true, I suspect it all comes down to the Cowboys' Roy Williams. The guy has been crucified this offseason for, well, not being very good. Still, Ken Hamlin had an impressive season (so much so that Dallas wants to keep him around for a while), Pat Watkins continues to develop, and Anthony Henry could eventually move to safety, which would only upgrade the unit.

The Dolphins have Yeremiah Bell.

(Long pause)

Jason Allen, the team's 2006 first-round pick, has been an enormous disappointment, and just because he's really fast, hasn't translated into on-field success (although he kills during pre-game relay races). Renaldo Hill is a solid player, but Chris Crocker wasn't good enough to stick with the Browns or the Falcons. Not even Williams has it that bad.

Whatever, none of this matters; ultimately, it'll come down to, you know, actually playing football games.
