"WR David Boston again missed practice because of a shin injury, although he was on the field to watch the drills. HC Dave Wannstedt said he thinks Boston's weight contributed to the injury. "He is heavier than he needs to be, but he has lost weight from where he was," said Wannstedt." "HC Dave Wannstedt said he was much happier with the performance of WR David Boston, who missed the previous quarterback school with a calf injury. Boston was on the field and appeared in better condition than during the first minicamp, when he struggled to catch his breath at times. Wannstedt had expressed his displeasure with Boston during the previous quarterback school." "2003 Hot Sheet Outlook Boston was a total bust in San Diego last season and the Dolphins hope he can spark their lackluster passing attack after they acquired him in an offseason trade. His monster 2001 season in Arizona looks like a mirage, but he's certainly better than what he displayed with the Chargers. He showed up to Miami's minicamp overweight, and that may have contributed to a shin injury that hobbled him in early May. Buyer beware. " "The Dolphins believe Boston plays his best at 229 pounds, but in two months, Boston hasn't shed a pound and still is around 240. Coach Dave Wannstedt believes weight was an issue for Boston in San Diego and doesn't want it to be here. " "The Dolphins believe excess weight may have contributed to lower leg bleeding that kept Boston out of the first three days of quarterback school." "Now we can see where a bit of Boston's attitude problems may be coming from, huh? If his personal trainer advises him to ignore his employer's trainers, it seems like a natural source of some of the friction that we heard about regarding Boston in San Diego last year. Will Boston "shape up" and please the Dolphins, or will his spiral out of favor continue in Miami? We'll keep you posted. " "The loss spoiled a two-touchdown highlight show from Boston, who himself returned from a one-game suspension for violating team rules -- the coaching staff's code for being overweight. " "Is anyone surprised by the David Boston situation in San Diego? All the Arizona people we talked to before the season predicted a meltdown with Boston playing for Marty Schottenheimer. The coach sent him home Wednesday for a series of disciplinary problems. Boston plays the game at times as if he doesn't care. Repeating the view here when he was signed: Boston was a bad signing for a team that needed defensive help. It's worse now since he's causing problems again. "The guy is a weird, strange man," said one Cardinals staffer. "It was only a matter of time." Don't draft this guy in the early rounds of your fantasy league...
