Players report to training camp tomorrow and will begin practice on Saturday. Let's face it, Miami will need a lot of motivating and belief instilled in them because their talent level is not up to par with most of the NFL. With that being said, here are the top three people I would hire, if I were in charge, to give the players the first motivational speech of the 2008 campaign.
Herm Edwards 
Sure he coaches the Chiefs, who need a good pep talk of their own, but maybe we can join forces and listen in.
"You play to win the game! Hello! You don't play, just to play it."
This will be news to the Dolphins players, as most them will nod and smile having finally understood what the objective is out on the field on Sundays. Step one, knowing the goal, literally.
Mike Ditka and Phil Weston
Highlights include:- "Break peoples clavicles!"
- "New gameplan guys, get the ball to the Italians."
- "Don't listen to Phil."
- Mike Ditka: "This is going to be the hardest thing you've done in your entire lives, but when it's over, you will be champions! Now go kick some ass! Phil Weston: "Okay guys, on three...one...two...three...Let's have fun!" Mike Ditka: "Let's have fun? What the hell is the matter with you?"
- "Everything good starts with a brat"
"Guys, never before in the history of western civilization has a group of men come together with more to prove and everything to accomplish. Get ready to build, it's going to be an unbelievable year! We are going all the way, from the bottom to the top! Like Jack climbing the gigantic beanstalk! You guys need to play with the romanticism of Beethoven's Third Symphony and joy of Jerry Garcia who would deliver the most powerful of performances with the Grateful Dead. We will embarrass the other teams and expose them for the pathetic hapless souls that they are, all the way to the Super Bowl!"

You forgot Mike Ditka's most important piece of advice: Coffee is the lifeblood that drives the dreams of champions.
