    I am not surprised. In fact, I expected this.

    His body is simply breaking down. Will's played thru some serious injuries the past few seasons. If nothing else, a year off will help his body fully recover.

    Sapp isn't as good as Will Allen. I know Allen is hurt, but it's another downgrade unless he surprises. Secondary is going to be our big weak spot again this year.

    The trade for Sapp pretty much foreshadowed this.

    Miami had no competitive incentive to put Allen on IR until now.

    While this isn't really surprising at this point, can we ever have a 4-6 week injury??? It seems like every injury we have seems relatively minor at first and than a few weeks later they land on IR.
    :pity:

    Nathan Vasher was cut and in the one game I saw(this preseason) he played ok. And hes a return man I believe.

    What?
    the amazing Will Allen on IR. Just when everyone was dying for him to come back and be the magical starting CB. I've been telling people here he is not healthy and may never play for the Dolphins again. I think the guy is done honestly.

    I think it's too early to say they'll be torched all-season long. I'm not sure about that. There's a good chance but they have quite a bit of talent in that CB group. We'll see if it translates.

    Once again making crap up, and adding to it to make it look like you're some kind of nostridamus of football.

    Here it is for you again, what almost every single person stated about Will Allen.

    Now it looks like Smith will be sitting behind Jason Allen!

    Now you just keep going on patting yourself on the back there killer. But let the record show that some of us know your act around here

    Please let Channing Crowder get better and avoid the same fate as Will Allen.

    People on this board were calling for Will Allen to start when he wasn't even healthy. That is the crux of the issue.
    So I had to remind them he may not be back this season and now he won't.
    Looks pretty cut and dry to me. :up:

    No, you were saying they should start Smith over Allen no matter what. That's the crux of it to a tee. I am a fan of Smith but he's now sitting for game one so you were not correct.

    Will Allen had actually started practicing and was said to be looking pretty damned good until he had a set back. Just because he had knee surgery, you wanted to write him off, and I have a feeling it's not because of his injury. It's because you think he isn't any good but again, when healthy Will Allen is a very good Cb.....

    See that's the thing about this regime. They don't wait as long as some other teams would. The famous Sparano line is "if I don't see you out there Tuesday, we're moving on."

    Ethan was a bit surprised and said Will was targeting Week 3 to return. It's possible that was realistic, but Will would still be playing hurt. He's done it for the last few years.

    We'll never really know I guess. But I tend to think the scenario above is probably close to the truth.

    :(

    I'm a big Will Allen fan as I feel he's one of the more underrated players in the game and his loss is big for us. Get better soon, Will!

    I think you're right. They probably agree that he could return week 3, but factoring in the injury they feel that another healthy body like Sapp is better overall.

    It made sense at the time given our surplus of WR's, and even if Allen coudlnt play this year, I still think its a good trade for us.

    Sure is a bummer to see that Will is done for the year though. I had hoped we traded for Sapp because Carrol wasn't quite ready. Apparently its because Allen and Carrol arent ready to play this year. One for injury, one for lack of experience.

    How they let Ness go under these circumstance is beyond me. This has got to be one of the dumbest moves they could have made. I am starting to think that beyond fiddling with the lineman - Sporano is clues about any other position.

    No, not at all. People were expressing concern over Sean Smith and his apparent decline in play the 2nd half of last season and this whole TC and preseason. His lack of progress. His lack of big play ability.

    You took it personal that we would DARE question SS24's ability in preseason going as far as using huge bolded colored text and criticizing and labeling us SS24 "Haters".

    You then kept questionning: IF SS24 is so bad, what else could we do?!

    We said: Well Will Allen is due back, or Benny Sapp, or........many of us recognized SS24's declining play after last season and would've made an offseason acquisition in case he continues to decline. Our FO had faith he would progress. He didn't! Will Allen is on IR and now we're stuck with a journeyman starting at CB. This is clearly the FO's fault.

    THANK YOU!!!

    Drew says that Will Allen will be ready to go in a few weeks, but the Dolphins felt like they couldn't wait on him and "needed" the roster spot now.

    If this is true, then it's something I disagree with completely.

    I liked Ness too, buy Benny Sapp sealed his fate. Sean Smith, for all his faults, is still better than Nate Ness. At BEST, he is the sixth CB on this roster (behind Vontae Davis, Sean Smith, Jason Allen, Benny Sapp and Nolan Carroll). If Will Allen was helathy, chances are that one of the above would have been gone too.

    To be honest, I am so stoked that we got Sapp, I am almost ready to predict that he will be our other starting corner sooner rather than later. The guy has talent that he hasn't even touched yet.

    Drew is right.

    This front office kinda screwed Will Allen, for years beyond...but they are going to pay him for nothing.

    Smart. (what dumbasses)

    I don't know why we didn't just put him on the PUP list and reevaluate at week 6. He's one of our top 2 corners if healthy...
