Maybe Bill Parcells simply wanted to disrupt all the mock drafts being bandied about in recent days amidst reports the team is negotiating with Michigan tackle Jake Long. 
Or maybe the Tuna and his Dolphins crew are blowing smoke in hopes of targeting another player. Say, a defensive player? Say, Vernon Gholston or Chris Long?
Interesting moment when GM Jeff Ireland, a Tuna disciple, was talking about what the team wanted from the first overall pick.
Here's how Miami Herald beat reporter Jeff Darlington described the moment:
"'Of course I want guys who have great upside -- this is the first pick in the draft," Ireland said. ``This guy is going to be, you hope he's a pillar of your defense for a long time. Of course you hope he's going to have upside. The economics to me . . .''
Ireland stopped mid-sentence, looking over at two reporters who were smiling about what they thought they just heard. Ireland gave the reporters a curious smirk of his own.
''Defense?'' one of the reporters said.
''What's that?'' Ireland responded. ``What did I say?''
''Pillar of your defense?'' someone else said.
The laughter in the room escalated as Ireland tried to rebound.
''Pillar of your defense, your offense, your team,'' Ireland said, as even he couldn't help but laugh at his own wording. ``That's a Freudian slip.''
All jokes aside, the moment quickly heated up sports radio and Internet message boards as they began debating the deeper meaning of Ireland's words.
