AAF debut weekend features several former Miami Dolphins players

Miami fans should feel insulted by this. Knowing that Miami has so many bad draft picks is a horrible accomplishment.

Kevin Nogle wrote:The Alliance of American Football opened their inaugural season this past weekend, bringing football into the spring. This league is designed to compliment the NFL - though, despite games being aired on NFL Network, it is not officially affiliated with the NFL - and the eight team rosters are filled with players who had a shot at the NFL but did not stick. Some of these are undrafted free agents who did not make the roster in their rookie season and some are veterans who are hoping to get another crack at the league.

I watched three AAF games from this weekend and loved 'em all. Great to have professional football to watch after the Super Bowl.
It was cool to see players I remember from college and the NFL (in partticular Trent Richardson and Matt Asiata!), and cool to see old coaches like Steve Spurrier, Dennis Erickson, Mike Singletary and Mike Martz. And yes, I did see a few players that had spent time with the Phins.
Teams only had 5 weeks to prepare, so it was a bit sloppy - especially at QB and OL. But the WR play was really good overall, and there were definitely a good number of impact players on defense. I expect the play to get better as the players get more experience together.
It's a really quick game...the 35-second clock, no real TV timeouts, no kickoffs. It makes for a very watchable, fast-paced game.
I think it's a great opportunity for players to develop, and it gives the NFL another pool of talent to pick from.
Anyway, I'm a fan!

I really enjoyed the games I watched as well. They're hitting each other, like football and shit.
