Just saw this. Not very thrilled with it. If the decimated Ravens haven't sign this guy, I can't imagine he's anything more than camp fodder. http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/blog/2010/08/frank_walker_headed_to_dolphins.html
oh dear god no... please only be here as camp fodder...please only be here as camp fodder...please only be here as camp fodder...
I actually like this signing. Think its a decent one. His biggest issue is the use of his hands. He's too physical and gets called for penalties.
It's not as if Woodson and Leon Hall are available right now. Just because he's available doesn't mean he stinks. Davis Martin was on his couch a week ago.
I've seen a lot of this guy the last 2 years. He does stink. PI machine. If he does sign with Miami, then hell, I'll root for him and hope he plays well, but as of right now I'm a bit pessimistic.
He's only here for a tryout. He's one of at least 2 that are here for tryouts. Even if signed he won't make the regular squad. Were 5 deep as is with Smith/Davis/Allen/Allen and Carroll.
I thought he actually had a fairly decent year last year when I saw the Ravens play... prior to that... eh, not so much. Isn't his nickname Toast from his days with the Saints or do I have the wrong corner?
That nickname belongs to Elvis "Toast" Patterson of the Giants and Chargers. He was always getting burned. Funny thing is the guy won a superbowl at the end of his career just because he rode the pine for the cowboys.
They brought Evan Oglesby here because they liked him better than Frank Walker, but even Oglesby was #6 or #7 on the depth chart at CB prior to his ankle injury. So, yeah...this is a training camp body, unless he really surprises them.
We really need to get with Ireland and get them to add this as a question on the Job Application: "Question 13) What are our team's Colors?... Hint: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=What+are+the+Miami+Dolphins+Team+Colors%3F"
Relax fellas. Its all about depth. Obviously the team wants to keep improving special teams and give the likes of Jason Allen some competition since Allen is the current leader to take the 4th or 5th spot along with Carroll.
