On Friday, the Miami Dolphins kicked FinsWeekend into high gear.  The Dolphins hold their annual FinsWeekend to raise money for the Miami Dolphins Foundation, which raises money for education, athletic and health programs throughout Florida.  It’s a great event that brings current and former Dolphins together to raise money for a good cause.  On Friday, the Dolphins held a charity golf tournament as part of FinsWeekend.  Dolphins tight end, Jed Weaver’s team won the event after a 4 hole playoff.

After the golf outing, the Dolphins announced their award winners for the 2011 season.  Matt Moore brought home the Dan Marino MVP award.  Honestly, this surprised me.  Moore had a solid year in 2011, without question.   He led the Dolphins to a 6-6 record completing 60.5% of his passes for 2,497 yards, 16 TDs and 9 INTs.  It’s a bit ironic that the Dolphins used their first round draft pick on a QB that is intended to replace their MVP!  Personally, I probably would have given the award to Reggie Bush, but I can see why the Dolphins selected Moore.  Congratulations Matt, well done!

Mughelli visits Dolphins following Massam’s knee surgery

The Miami Dolphins are looking for a full back puzzle piece to plug into their new offense.  The Dolphins are probably looking for a full back that will play the part John Kuhn did with the Packers in recent years.  Earlier this offseason, the Dolphins signed Jerome Massam, a HUGE running back from the CFL.  Many thought that Massam would win the full back spot on the Dolphins roster (including us).  However, Massam announced this week that he just underwent his second knee surgery in the last 5 months on his meniscus.  The Dolphins haven’t said a word about Massam’s injury or subsequent surgery….so the prognosis for his return is unclear at this point.

We can only assume that the Dolphins want an insurance policy for their full back position, as Wednesday they brought in former Falcon Ovie Mughelli.  Mughelli was cut by the Falcons and will turn 32 before the 2012 season starts.  However, he is a 2 time All-Pro and a 1 time Pro Bowler.  He’s 6’1″, 255 lbs and if you look at his stats, you wouldn’t think much of him.  But he’s a very good blocker and can run the ball and catch the ball effectively.
