    Good to hear. ;)



    P.S. Is anyone as worried about the interior of our OL as I?


    On a side note:
    :D

    that's what she said.

    interior Oline i'm not worried about. RG, yes. The others only if there is injury and i'm not going to write them down as that right now because they are fine.

    As the the long season drags on, these fast /smart guys get dinged up, tired and slow down. Big guys don't usually don't get smaller.

    I think Solai took Ireland's wishes a little too literally.

    i'll take punishing - any day of the week from a football team. it will be the exception, not the rule, that a finesse team will beat you -- come playoff time.

    also note, that the FO looks for the combination ... size and speed ... and they work pretty hard on the stamina part via the 'voluntary workout program'

    no brain-er:
    size i.e. height & weight + speed & agility + strength = athleticism
    talent + athleticism = NF potential

    the intangibles of intelligence, heart & coach-ability round out the equation & are indicators of greatness


    the Dolphins are collectively all these things plus young
    they also bring to the table consistent ProBowl veterans ( pennington, williams, taylor & porter ) to mentor & lead the team
    you got to love what the NewRegime has done with the Miami Franchise.
