    Assuming this isn’t just pre-draft BS, then it’s a pretty strong indication that the Phins won’t draft Mark Ingram at 15.

    Thankfully.

    Why is it shocking that an ultra-conservative, possession-type mentality coach considers Hartline a speed guy even though he says others probably don't? That doesn't shock me one bit.

    Starting off a sentence with a weak "I think" is definitely reassuring when it comes to your vertical threat. <sarcasm>

    actually it is redundant. It is very hard to say something without thinking it

    Maybe we can blame alzheimers for last season's offense..

    Henning might of just forgotten where the hell he was.

    Not to worry. Ireland is on record saying we absolutely need more speed and last I checked he was the one making the decisions.

    We all saw the handful of plays he's referring to. If he thinks that's a "bunch" then I can see why Ross came THIS CLOSE to firing his ***.

    Hartline had a 16.3 YPC in 2009 and 14.3 YPC in 2010… with Chad Henne throwing the ball to him.

    Sparano might not be completely right on this, but he’s not totally wrong, either.

    I could agree with you on that. I wouldn't have a problem calling Hart a guy with some sneaky speed, but there's something wrong about calling him a "speed guy" in my book.

    Brian is like the average looking girl at a bar who looks like a beauty queen when surrounded by butter faces. Just sayin.

    Let’s see how he looks with better (read: competent) quarterbacking.

    if he said the same thing without saying, "I think," it would have the same meaning.

    I found this one interesting because it echoed what Ricky said about the offense. Could it be an olive branch to Ricky to resign him as the vet power back?

    So now a person can never use "I think" again? LMAO!

    "I think" Henne threw 15 TD's last season.

    Chad Henne threw 15 TD's last season.


    As KingMo wrote earlier, one shows uncertainty while the other conveys certainty.


    You remind me of when my daughter was 13 years old and just wanted to argue for the sake of arguing. lol...Anyhow, I'm going to let this be my last post on this so I don't throw this thread too far off topic...... I think. lol

    LOL, what does Sparano even do on offense, or defense, or ST. He's never been a coordinator, he doesnt call plays, he never stepped in to stop Henning's madness. What exactly does he do, besides memorize snap counts?

    I think Sparano will become a very good HC.

    (Did you see what I just did right there? lol)

    Why are you arguing then?

    Also how to get to such crazy questions and statements?

    Plus it all depends on context. A lot of time people use "I think" in areas where they know. Also it can be used in an area where people disagree.

    So now you're telling me that you presume to know what others know?

    You're crazy man...crazy! lol


    I do think having Ricky or Ronnie behind him helps.


    I do think he is eligible for practice squad and I do not think anyone will pluck him off after last season.

    I think losing Will Allen and keeping Kilbril Wilson hurt them a lot last season.

    Well I think that was him.

    I do think he can't be any worse against the run that Porter.

    I think Miami has potential one of the best corner combos in the league and if they both do continue to improve and Miami can pay them both, they could go down as one of the best of all time. I am really excited to see both of them play.


    All of that redundancy. lol

    I never said I didn't use redundancy. Most of those "i think"s are redundant.

    I can't believe I let the Kilbril get through. That is what I get for not reading over my work or checking.

    Edit: I really hope I have a reason to make another one this year.

    Not much, how you doing Ozzy

    You know its a slow off-season when a thread gets turned into a debate over the proper usage of the term "I think"
