DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -On his first day with the Miami Dolphins, Jason Allen picked up two nicknames. Some teammates called him ``fresh legs,'' others dubbed him ``new money.'' Both seemed fitting. After a holdout spared him from the rigors of the first 10 days of training camp, and with between $8 million and $9 million guaranteed by his newly signed six-year contract, Allen joined the Dolphins on Tuesday - eager to begin competing for a starting safety job. ``Sitting home, knowing that the guys were pra |

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -Quarterback Daunte Culpepper has progressed so well in his recovery from knee surgery that he could play in the Miami Dolphins' exhibition opener Saturday against Jacksonville. A decision on whether to play Culpepper will be made later this week, coach Nick Saban said Monday. ``He's doing really well,'' Saban said. ``He's farther ahead in his rehabilitation than anticipated. We're very pleased with the progress he has made.'' Culpepper tore three ligaments in his right knee last Oct |

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -With Gus Frerotte at quarterback for the Miami Dolphins a year ago, Chris Chambers and Marty Booker probably had no major complaints. Chambers posted numbers that vaulted him into the elite class of NFL receivers, earning him a Pro Bowl nod and a selection as the Dolphins' most valuable player. And Booker finished with the league's fourth-best yards-per-catch average, among those with more than one grab per game. Frerotte's gone now, with the talented Daunte Culpepper set to take his |

| Clayton appears to have fully recovered from knee and shoulder surgery, as well as a turf toe injury that kept him out of Tampa Bay's first-round playoff loss to Washington last January. And Boston, who missed most of the past two seasons with the Miami Dolphins because of knee injuries, has been impressive, too. Throw in sure-handed veteran Ike Hilliard, young prospect Edell Shepherd and rookie Maurice Stovall, the club's third-round draft pick, and Gruden could have some tough choices to make after the |

Peterson said then-Spartans coach Nick Saban saw him as much more valuable on defense. So the current Miami Dolphins coach played him at defensive end, linebacker and defensive back. ``It turned out great,'' Peterson said. Guess so. In March, Seattle signed its menacing rival from San Francisco for $54 million over seven years, with $18.5 million guaranteed.

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -When the White House called with an invitation to dine with President Bush, Dan Marino took it. But the coach of his former team said no. Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban said Monday that his obligations at training camp took priority over a chance to meet the president. ``It was really a tough decision,'' Saban said. ``I feel like my first responsibility is our team. That in no way disrespects the importance of the opportunity I would have loved to have had to spend dinner with the Pr |

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -At age 24 and a year out of college, Ronnie Brown has landed his first full-time job. The Miami Dolphins hope he's up to it. Long accustomed to sharing carries with someone named Williams - Cadillac at Auburn, then Ricky last season in Miami - Brown is poised to become a workhorse running back in his second NFL season. ``It's an opportunity,'' he said. ``I welcome the challenge and look forward to it.'' Ricky Williams' one-year suspension means the majority of handoffs will likely |

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -Huge air-conditioning vents in the Miami Dolphins' new indoor practice building blew with gale force, which meant Daunte Culpepper was throwing against the wind when he heaved the longest pass of practice. It traveled 50 yards, catching receiver Chris Chambers in stride along the sideline and near the vents with midseason accuracy. Clearly Culpepper's arm is fine. And his knee is improving all the time. The Dolphins' new quarterback took the field for the start of training camp Satu |
