Tin Bits - Friday, 4/2/10

• In site news, I have added a page at the top of the screen to keep tabs of the pre-draft visits by draft prospects - I've got it arranged by position, more or less, and it also includes the confirmed players who will be at the local pro day.  Last year several of our rookie camp UDFA invitees came out of this group, but this year, a legitimate draft target in UM's Jimmy Graham will be attending.  The Dolphins probably didn't intend to spend a high draft pick on Graham but his stock has soared in the last month or so to the point some boards have him as a 2nd round pick.

• Looking at the visitor list, it's obvious that Miami has brought in just about every potential first round pick that they hadn't already seen in person (Dan Williams and Brandon Graham were at the Senior Bowl).  They've also brought in two potential Pat White replacements in Edwards and Webb, though both have been working out both as QBs and WRs.

• Chad Henne recently said he came back to Dolphins' home base in Davie at the end of January, essentially only taking a couple of weeks off.  Don't worry though, he'll get most of May and all of July off.

• If you haven't figured it out by now, the Marco Coleman interview was an April Fool's Day joke.  It never happened.  I do know a Katrina, but not the one who's married to him, and I have no idea if he attends Georgia Tech games or not - I made it all up.  Absolutely no one caught on.  "L.O.L.!"  However, here's a great photo of Marco patting down Jim Kelly.

• Ricky Williams arranged a Easter Meal giveaway and got a dozen Dolphins players to hand out full ready-made meals to some of the fattest, er, I mean poorest South Florida families so they could gorge, er, I mean enjoy a proper Easter meal - probably some syrup-glazed ham with macaroni and cheese or something equally representative of Jesus' ascension.  I'm all in favor of helping to feed the needy, but other than a handful of people in these pictures, who actually look like they may not own a refrigerator to hold the ham, most of the people getting these free meals look to be about 300 lbs and/or quite middle class.  There's one guy wearing a Dolphins polo shirt that probably cost more than the ham did.  And he was 50 lbs overweight.  Anyway, the Dolphins official website didn't have the decency to mention all the players by name, so I will here, based on who I see in the photos:  Ricky Williams, John Denney, Tyler Thigpen, John Nalbone, Jake Long, Davone Bess, Greg Camarillo, Vernon Carey, Patrick Cobbs, Nate Ness, Richie Incognito, Lousaka Polite, and Tristan Davis.

• And now that I've been so snide about a charity event, I would like to say I wish you all the best weekend, regardless of your religious beliefs, and I thank the Dolphins players who sacrifice their free time (Fridays are non-workout days for the Dolphins) to go hand out food.  It's more than most of us would do.  I would suggest to any readers who feel charitable to go hand out some food to the poor, but may I suggest roasted Rabbit instead of a ham - it's so much more apropos, and I think there's a lot less sodium in a rabbit.
