Yesterday it was my chance to say that I hoped that Damon Huard had a big part in any big win on the Dolphins home field this Sunday. It will be an important piece in his career if we can get him the satisfaction of beating his former team with another outstanding offensive performance, as a team!

The following has excerpts from a piece in the Miami newspaper this morning.

QB Huard was Marino's choice

So maybe Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino knew a thing or two about evaluating the talent of other quarterbacks after all.

When Damon Huard returns Sunday to South Florida with the NFL's second-best passer rating as the Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback, it will serve as yet another painful reminder of the Dolphins' dreadful search for Marino's successor.

...former coach Dave Wannstedt chose Jay Fiedler as the starter in 2000 despite Marino's persistent lobbying for Huard to serve as his successor, it certainly could be argued that the team moved in the wrong direction....

'I'm going to stay out of that one,'' said defensive end Jason Taylor, asked by Kansas City media whether the rest of the locker room in 2000 thought Huard should have started over Fiedler. ``That's Dan's opinion, and I don't totally disagree with him. But I'm going to stay out of that one. I'm not going to walk into this...

...Daunte Culpepper continued his rehabilitation process, but he did not practice Wednesday.
...Linebacker Zach Thomas wore a red jersey during practice, signifying he was limited. Saban said he was suffering from a migraine headache.
...Cornerback Eddie Jackson (ankle) practiced without limitations.

Lets hope it all works out with a win, no matter how we get there!
