I've never seen this before where a team cuts him from the practice squad only to resign him to the 53 then cuts him from the team only to resign him to the PS like this. It's odd but I guess they really like something he has shown them.

If the Dolphins don't have the deepest collection of defensive linemen in the league, they must be in the top five.

Robert Rose, another of those 10 talents, added a sack against the Cowboys' backups. A former Ohio State standout who spent last year on the Dolphins' practice squad, Rose offered a prediction about his position group.

"A few years from now," he said, "you're going to see all those names and say, 'Wow, they were all together at one point.' "

There have been rumors about a trade of Phillip Merling, who went 32nd overall in the 2008 draft. That would help a little, but would that be enough?

You know that vibe on Black Friday, when crazed shoppers race around the malls trying to fill their carts with discount items? That's sort of how it felt in the fourth quarter against Dallas.

Dozens of obscure players, racing around the field, all trying to put one more play on film.

"One more good thing can always help," Rose said. "At the same time, I wasn't out there thinking, 'If I do this, it's going to make or break me.' What's done is done."

This is a league, remember, where every single practice session is filmed and broken down by "quality control" coaches. There are very few surprises.

And so the Bakers and Roses of the NFL sit in their apartments this weekend, fearing "the bad call," as Rose said, while hoping for one more day to live the dream.
