Tweets of Interest..Day #9

I forgot to mention this, but in the video of Joe Berger I posted, Nate Garner is playing at left guard in both of those games.

Just in case anyone wants to take a look.

 

I thought Garner did real good in the game time he got last year (all over the line), so I wouldn't be worried too much if he wound up starting. I'd really like Jerry to start, but can understand if he doesn't as a rookie.

 

Going off of his college tape, I would say that Jerry must become better at sustaining his leg drive. He is in his element when he is asked to execute short pulls.

 

one thing for sure there's plenty of depth
let them compete...

 

This is like the 'Break In Case of Emergency" fire extinguisher. The "Ok Dan, go out and win it for us" concession from Jimmy.

They tried to get more power in there. But it seems that Saturday's scrimmage scared the hell out of them. They will not go into Week 3 vs Rex Ryan's defense without addressing those problems at guard.

 

Sean Smith, you mexican dog you.......

I knew it was only a matter of time before Nate Garner would be starting at LG
but as usual no one ever listens.
the guy has the size, power and the smarts that Coach loves.
with both of our tackle positions being locks and that being Garner's natural position you still can't keep the guy off the field.

 

I know how much you are rooting for Grant. I am too and to prove himself and make this team he will have to prove he can rush inside and he said himself he is playing in a new system having never been in a 3-4 at all ever. Garner started on this line last year.
I wouldn't quite say it is a mismatch my friend.
Not under those circumstances.

 

Uh oh..... what does that mean about will allen if smith continues to pick up his play and carroll is a guy who makes plays with his speed and fits at the nickel. Man these competitions are exciting.

 

the toe is healed padre. i don't think it will be an issue however a guy playing in a new system just might have to think a little more about what he is doing. that is why grant is falling behind here in the first place. in a 4-3 he would prolly be a lock.

 

The question with Wallace is what does he bring to special teams? Can he be a 4 core guy? If so he's got a legitimate shot. That 5th WR has to be a solid special teams contributor. Has Wallace gotten any returner work?

 

I know this isn't Dolphins related, but since it is the only football we've seen John Phillips gone with an ACL.

 

Very cool, thanks for the post Padre.

 

Roberto has great measurements, and I am glad to here he is going so hard after contested balls, but the little bit I read about him pre/post draft was that he wasn't a natural catcher (ie he'd often "fight" the ball). Obviously we should see whether the proof is in the pudding during the first 2 preseasons games, but I'm a little leery of how he will do still.

 

preseason is so boring after the first drive most of the time with OTHER teams......well guess what ladies? it will be awesome to watch every second of our games to see these young guys, and to see who steps up. nolan carrol has been really impressing me, and im stoked to see him play. cant wait till saturday!!!!!

 

"If I were you, I wouldn't read too much into it."

Yeah, like that's going to stop everyone from reading into it. Something about a frog and a scorpion. Frog and a freakin scorpion, man.

 

I like watching young guys. But I'm a draftnik. I live to find out if favorites of mine like Michael Johnson and Geno Atkins are ready to perform at the NFL level the way I thought they could.

 

hell ya padre. i wanna see pat white play, i wanna see RGM return and make catches....i wanna see micah johnson, misi, odrick, carrol, david martin back etc etc. very exciting stuff!
