https://mobile.twitter.com/AdamHBeasley/status/519204542626660354 Per Adam Beasley... I wonder who was cut? He was a pretty solid performer for us in preseason, hopefully his hands are as reliable in actual games as they were before.
shelby ? just a guess edit: never mind, i forgot he is suspended by the team and does not count against the 53
Just saw darkwa was let go. Per Barry Jackson. Dolphins waived RB Orleans Darkwa. His release and Shelby's suspension make room for re-signed WR Damian Williams and S Reshad Jones. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
www.Miamidolphins.com The Miami Dolphins have signed wide receiver Damian Williams, the team announced. To make room on the roster for Williams, the team has waived running back Orleans Darkwa. The team also has announced the exemption for safety Reshad Jones has been lifted.
Too bad for Darkwa that we're crowded at RB at the moment. I too hope no one scoops him up so we can stash him on the ps.
He looked good that one game (did anyone look bad?), but he was cut in favour of Darkwa at the beginning of the season. So what has changed? Is it just that they want two veterans with Moreno being injured?
I don't think Gibson wants to be here these days as his playing time has been cut in favor of Landry. Not saying that's the reason for his absence, but just the vibe I've been getting from him. He looks miserable this season.
You know, I understand being high on Landry... but they have reduced the snaps and targets of Gibson and Matthews to the detriment of this team. Last year Gibson was absolutely dynamic... This year he barely gets looks. The same goes for Matthews. I can't help but feel they have both outperformed Landry as receivers. Hopefully playing time changes to reflect that.
Gibson's unfortunate injury could give Matthews more time in the game. I don't know what's going on but when he gets his chances, usually he does some good things. Landry on the other hand, is made of Teflon. His mistakes have done nothing to affect his playing time.
Call me crazy but I would like to see Darkwa put on the practice squad and converted to safety. The first time I saw him play he just looked like a SS to me. He is a very good athlete. I hope he doesn't end in Canada.
Philbin said in his presser that Williams will be returning punts. As for Gibson, he's played 50% of the snaps so far. I'm guessing his injury didn't full heal and he's having trouble getting separation. Too bad, he was really good for Miami last year.
Yeah i have the same impression in my mind of Gibson in the RZ last year. Apparently a bit inflated judging from other's posts. Seems like we should be trying to trade Gibson or Matthews (but definitely not both), at this point i'm thinking Gibson, even if we trade within the division. There are certainly a few teams who could use him.
I think our wide recievers as a whole have been pretty underwhelming this year aside from Wallace. Hartline isn't near his same production, Gibson isn't doing what he was doing last year. I think this new offense has went away from some of the strengths of our recievers. The seam for Gibson and the deep out for Hartline were where they really excelled last year. With this offense designed for Tannehill to get rid of the ball quickly I dont see those routes being used as often. Same with Clay and that seam route he was good at the past couple years. Our personell doesn't really match up with what Lazor wants to do with this offense in my opinion. It uses a lot of speed as the main ingredient to success which is why Wallace is doing well but everybody else seems to be struggling.
