young Can Patrick Turner Change His Ways Before T

But coach Tony Sparano soon reiterated his hopes for the young receiver, "I should have got him in the game. We should have got him some exposure, so We did not do a good job there," they said. Sparano later said that developing Turner was a main goal for the organization in 2010.
However, once Turner entered Dolphins camp, they soon found himself at the bottom of the depth chart. And at season's end, Turner had dressed for just two games, registering no catches.
After all, Turner did present the possibility of growing into the dominant receiver Miami so desperately needed with his 6-foot-5, 220 pound build, and they did catch 10 touchdown passes during his senior season.
Marshall does fill the role that Miami hoped Turner one day would, and his presence leaves one less roster spot the Dolphins would be willing to use on a wide receiver.
The Minnesota Vikings spent an early second round pick on the South Carolina standout, but they compiled just 46 receptions during his first two years in the league. Last season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though, Rice exploded for 83 receptions and 8 touchdowns with Brett Favre at the helm.
But today, the only connection Turner holds to the number one are that it might be the total number of seasons they will remain with the Miami Dolphins for.
Ryan Miller was born on 17th July 1980. He is an American ice hockey goaltender and is currently playing for the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League NHL. He was selected to play for the US hockey team in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games ice hockey game in Vancouver Canada in the position of starting goaltender. Ryan Miller won a silver medal with the team and was named most valuable player of the tournament. He would win the Vezina Trophy as the best goaltender in the last NHL season. Ryan Miller is known for his hybrid style of goaltending and is also the older brother of current Detroit Red Wings winger Drew Miller. Chris Graythen After the 2006 season, Miller became a restricted free agent and waived his right to arbitration. Mike Liut, Miller agent, continued to negotiate with the Sabres through the summer. On 8th Sept 2006 the Sabres announced that they have resigned Miller to a 3 year contract.
Patrick Turner was the number one ranked wide receiver recruit in the nation coming out of Goodpasture High School in Tennessee.
Maybe it's a long shot, and there are no evidence Marshall wishes to mentor anybody, but they does possess something valuable that could be passed on to Turner.
However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Marshall's arrival could also potentially serve as a saving grace for Turner.
Marshall are a true veteran when compared to the Dolphins youthful receiving corps, and while they will serve as the team's primary receiving threat, they could also serve as the mentor this group never had. And considering Marshall and Turner compare closely in size - Turner: 6-5,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 220; Marshall: 6-4, 230 - the Dolphins new receiver might be able to teach Turner how to use his sheer size to become a productive NFL member.
For evidence, just a take a look at 2009 breakout Sidney Rice.
Perhaps fittingly, Turner wore the number one on his jersey during his days at Southern Cal.
And, it's hard to blame the Trifecta's decision to reach for the former Trojan.
Although Sparano appears to support Turner's development, on the surface at least, some of his teammates appear to believe that Turner simply does not have the drive that keeping a job in the NFL requires.
All this being said, everybody must remember that Patrick Turner has been in the NFL for just one year. Most receivers need multiple years in the league before they can begin making significant impacts for their respective teams.
Sometimes, the circumstances just have to be right for a member to come into his own.
The addition of stud receiver Brandon Marshall might also signal the Dolphins' concern that Turner are a bust.
In the 2009 NFL Draft, the Dolphins shocked the league by drafting Turner in the 3rd round. Many had spotted Turner as a fifth round pick due to his lack of production at USC, and the bust label that had consequently been pinned on him. However, Bill Parcells & Co. appeared to believe that Turner was bound to blossom in the NFL, especially due to their insistence on having him.
Turner proved that they can respond to criticism when they broke out during his senior season at USC after three scrutiny-filled, lackluster years. And, Brandon Marshall could be a catalyst for his growth.
An anonymous member told the Miami Herald that Turner "hasn't shown the urgency or work ethic of the other receivers." Reports have also surfaced claiming that Turner underwent back surgery this offseason,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which could explain his troubles this summer. Still, after one very unproductive season behind him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Turner cannot afford to lose the respect of his teammates.
But if Turner wants to become an impact member for the Dolphins, they will have to exponentially increase his production, and more importantly, they will have to earn the respect of his teammates back. Ryan Miller was supposed to play in the 2006 Winter Olympics. He instead stayed home and served as an alternate due to a broken thumb injury sustained which sidelined him from November 2005 to the day The US Roster was announced. The Team had already had other plans for their goaltenders,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Ryan Miller was still placed on the taxi squad. Ryan Miller was then selected as starting goalie for the US in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver Canada.
