What Cobbs gives in games and practices is simple: everything. Last year, he returned kickoffs for the Dolphins, took a screen pass 80 yards against Houston for the longest touchdown reception ever by a Dolphins running back and tied for the team lead with 16 special-teams tackles.

Sparano came to the Dolphins knowing Cobbs only as the running back who, while Sparano was in Dallas, tore up the Sun Belt Conference at North Texas with 4,050 yards and 36 touchdowns over four seasons. While Sparano always says Cobbs was ``a legend'' in that region, NFL scouts were not as impressed. Cobbs went undrafted in 2006 and signed with New England as a free agent.

Glad to see the coach has a "soft spot" for Cobbs.

Not to be a pessimist, but this is a dangerous year for Patrick. He has a few years under him and can be replaced by a younger, lower contract player. I wish the best for him an hope he can make the team again.

      Game reminds me of the Wisconsin NIT matchup. Bunch of big slow white dudes.

      Army is a good team

      You seem to have a lot of conviction when you say that. Have you seen this group play? Have you seen the coaching? Have you seen how we keep beating ourselves? Like I mentioned in another post, we are not a team to look at a schedule and pencil in wins. We’re not that good. Army has beaten bottom half programs they’ve faced. They beat another one yesterday.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      I’ve thought a lot about how different the game would have been had that not happened. We’re all pissed that we couldn’t score there, but we really did. Add to that the PI call and the fumble that was called an incomplete pass and it’s actually kind of shocking that we still could have won the game. The TD not being given to us is even more frustrating if you saw the TD that Bama was given. Instant replay really sucks sometimes. What’s the point if you can’t get it right?

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      It was hard to tell live from my position in the stands if McGill got the touchdown. The replay shown in the stadium wasn't conclusive. Hank asked Morris about it on the postgame radio show. Morris said 'that even on the tape on the sideline' it looked like McGill scored. From watching an ESPN highlight clip after the game it looked like he scored to me. I think you're referring to the fumble that was overturned by replay. It was so close. The DPI call on Nelson earlier in that drive made me absolutely nuts. Chandler's INTs were crushing. There was a mass exodus of people with green shirts on after the first pick. A bubble bursting type of moment.
