    What's the story with Moses? How did a third round pick fail to make the team(Raiders)?

    That's the red flag from the guy who played under the black flag. Arizona cut him loose, too. That's quite a fall for a former 3rd round pick who was considered a mid to high first round pick as a junior. That being said, I'm optimistic regarding his future with the Fins.

    Well..sort of...Q Moses got into problems with the Raiders simply because Al Davis did not like him personally, and he was let go in Arizona due to the need to sign a Back Up Qb more then they needed to keep "Q".

    One problem is that Moses has not play Linebacker, and in Oakland, he wanted to be a pass rushing DE...period...when I looked for some interviews, Q mentioned that people at both places tried to convert him to LB and he wasn't interested in making the switch.

    Of course, in Miami, after being cut twice, he will try to play LB, it is sink or swim time for "Q".

    The thing with "Q" is how bad does he want to be in the NFL? He played really good in college, but has yet to understand how the NFL works. If he want's to be an NFL star, he needs to buckle down and do what is asked of him.

    Either way the Phins will get someone to play the position who has earned it.

    I watched Q play last year. And he looked pretty decent for a rookie IMO. He didnt record a lot of sacks, but, he did a solid job at pressuring the QB.

    I hope he makes it, and when he has a huge defensive play the announcer says... HOLY MOSES!!

    Oh Paul...that is just baaaaaddd...:no:

    :lol::lol:

    If "Q" beats Charlie Anderson out, then Anderson must not be a very good player at all, he does have some experience playing LB, Q has none and the SSLB has to cover Te's at times and that takes play recognition skills.

    C. Anderson probably should be viewed as the Starter just based on experience alone..IMO.

    What is this "Q" stuff?

    I'm of the opinion that Quentin Moses' problems in Oakland and Airzona were a result of poor conditioning. He got ragged on about that in the combine, and he looked pretty soft for a guy his height/weight when he was here last year.

    You know, I'm more apt to believe this, than a personality conflict or a bad attitude that got a highly skilled player cut twice before his second season.

    It was probably all three but,, he must have gotten a handle on it or he would have been jettisoned along with the rest of the CaMuel players that were unwanted.

    Still find it odd that he's being mentioned as a possible starter....reminds of that one crazy guy we signed from Minny a bunch of years ago....or Manny Wright...doesn't seem to wise to count on him.

    Hmmm. No mention of Rod Wright in that article. I was thinking he would get some serious play with JT gone.

    JT would have been at the LB spot I believe. Wright is on the line which is probably why he wasn't mentioned in the article. I think it was strictly talking about replacing Jason.
