With a shoulder injury ,Miami inside linebacker Channing Crowder may cant put on his miami dolphins jersey and battle with the New York Jets for the Dolphins’ game on Sunday.
In the Friday 's practice, Crowder just did some side work.coach Tony Sparano said nothing about his back.“You always worry about a guy being prepared mentally if they don’t practice,” Sparano said. “But from Channing’s standpoint, I don’t worry about that stuff. He is smart enough mentally to be one of our coaches.”He ranks fourth on the Dolphins with 22 tackles and helps plug the inside for a team ranked fourth in run defense.
“Certainly if you didn’t play with Channing, you are missing a heck of a player,” Sparano said. “First of all, Channing makes a lot of tackles. The guy is all over the place.”
Reggie Torbor will take the starting lineup position if Crowder is impossible.
Above all, hope Crowder can do his job.

More action, not studies
This title is the message coming from Mike Ditka.On the eve of a Congressional hearing on head injuries among NFL players, the Hall of Famer sent a loud and clear message toward Capitol Hill and the league
The hearing in Washington comes in the wake of a preliminary study done at the University of Michigan for the NFL that indicates retired pro football players may have a higher rate than normal of Alzheimer’s disease or other memory problems. Among the issues examined will be the lasting impact of head injuries, how to limit them and how to compensate players and their families.
“You can run studies for the next 20 years. Somebody’s going to say, ‘It’s directly related, well it’s not directly related.’ Well, who cares? Let’s take care of them,” Ditka said.
Although stars are paid well, many players only last a few years in the league and they no longer qualify for the NFL’s disability benefit by the time problems arise later in life.
“Supposing a guy comes in at the age of 21, 22 or 23 and he plays five years,” Ditka said. “He’s out. He’s out at 27 and nothing shows up before he’s 39. He can’t qualify. You’re saying it’s hard to collect disability anywhere in the country. That doesn’t make sense because these injuries are starting to show up in the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s.”

Derek Anderson is safe
Derek Anderson, the NFL's lowest-rated quarterback for Brady Quinn or anyone else is safe now because coach Eric Mangini has no plans to bench him.
The Green Bay Packers, whose veteran cornerbacks shut down Cleveland's wide receivers and forced the Browns' quarterback to throw to his running backs and tight ends.
Yet despite the atrocious stats, Mangini believes Anderson gives the Browns the best chance to win, and the coach will not switch back to Quinn, who began the season as Cleveland's starter but was replaced after just 10 quarters.Mangini's support is very important,but Anderson really needs to improve or he will lose his job."I need to get better," Anderson said. "All of us have to look at what we can do to get better. We watch plays and we're just one guy off. I miss a throw by a yard. It was really close on a lot. We left a lot of offense out there yesterday. It's frustrating." At the same time Quinn insists he has no personal problems with his coaches."There are a lot of things I can do to get better," said Quinn, who made three starts last season before he was sidelined by a finger injury. "We follow our head coach, and whatever our head coach says, we go with."
Mangini's fans are full of frustration now and it's important for the team to give them something to cheer about.

Benson was commonly stuck going nowhere while with the Bears
Benson’s tumultuous and disappointing three-season stint with the Bears.May Urlacher wish he could smack his former teammate into submission.“The dude is playing his ass off, and it doesn’t bother me. I didn’t have a problem with Cedric; he just didn’t fit here, I guess. But we’ve got Matt Forte(notes) now. It worked out good for him, and it worked out good for us.”Urlacher said
Wednesday.Last august,many fans charged that the Bears had tried to blackball him .It's really a
lie.
