When JaMarcus Russell fumbles a snap during his first minicamp, it leads Total Access. When John Beck does it, nobody notices. Well, except me. Anyway, the Dolphins' quarterback of the future had a rocky start to his professional career: Beck said one of his biggest adjustments was getting acclimated to South Florida's humid weather after playing at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah....Huh, that's a new one. I've never heard a player blame the weather for being too nice. Seriously, every rookie goes through this, usually during the first few practices. It's no biggie, and certainly isn't indicative of future success. But I don't think we should start breaking out the Dan Marino comparisons just yet either. (At least wait until the third week of the preseason.)
Beck let the 25-second clock expire twice during Friday morning's session and struggled Saturday afternoon, fumbling a snap and having a pass batted down at the line of scrimmage.
Meanwhile, there's still the little issue of who will be the team's quarterback in 2007. Beck took a lot of snaps at minicamp only because Daunte Culpepper is recovering from a knee injury and Trent Green is still in Kansas City. Maybe Miami can just run the single wing until this all gets resolved.
