Many draftniks declared him better suited for the right side. If only somebody had spoken up about Robert Gallery before the Raiders used the second-overall pick on a guy who now plays guard.

I know it's kind of blown over, but the Sun-Sentinel reported the other day that Dolphins’ LT Vernon Carey said that they've had players from their scout team in Jets jerseys yelling out false signals in practice. Can't blame them for being prepared, I guess …

If Vernon Carey were more Dolphins fan than Dolphins offensive lineman he'd be worried. ''Yeah, when I was a Dolphins fan, I would be pushing the panic button,'' said the Dolphins left tackle who grew up in Miami. ``But since I'm here in the locker room and I know the character of the guys, we know there's no reason to panic.
