Why on Earth would Sean Smith, Jared Odrick or Tony McDaniel be out? Give me a break.

Because Smith is terrible hr is out of position and beat weekly! Look at Buffalos last TD he knocked it right to the guy.

Ordrick may never play again, his original fractured Fib had a greater then 60% chance of stress featuring along the plate and well it did. Now it is a greater then 80% chance it happens again. I have been researching this because I need a similar surgery.

McDaniels will be one of those head scratching decisions only if this regime stays. If they go then he will stay, if they stay then they will cut him most probably to make room for a Cowboy cast off.

There is no way in hell Sean Smith is going anywhere. He is part of a young CB tandem that is only going to get better. They will develop together in this young secondary. Ridiculous to think he will be gone.

I've said it here before that Odrick could turn out to be a bust because of the injury. Not that I want to see it but I think we blew the pick on him. He was a player this team didn't need at the time and especially now since Soliai is developing into a fine nose tackle. Bad draft pick. IMO.

Henning, Crowder and Brown will all be gone.

Sparano will stay and Henne will stay but may turn into our backup.

Sparano's job is a cointoss on account of not knowing what a first time owner like Ross is thinking. I'll say Ross gives him one more year. With that said, I think we could see Cohwer go to Houston and have Kubiack come in and replace Henning. At that point it would be up to him to determine if he could utilize Henne or start searching. I also think Kubiack would want Lee gone and replaced. Kinda far fetched but could go a long way towards a more balanced offense to compliment our young defense without blowing it up and starting over. Who the hell really knows?

Interesting blurb about Odricks' injury.

Don't know why you would get rid of any of the defensive players unless it's a money thing. They should trade Starks for an offensive lineman or draft pick and keep McDaniels around.

Ronnie and Ricky will be gone. Seems like running backs are getting more and more expendable all the time. Give me a dominant O-lineman over a talented running back.

Henne's at least a good backup but the other Chad is done.

And it hurts all the more because we could have stood pat with our pick, and had Dez Bryant (and his hooker mother).

Ireland & Sparano must go !

You do realize that was the ONLY TD that Smith has been beat on all season, right?

Your scenario is very plausible. Especially the Kubiak part, which I would love. His offenses in Denver always featured a RB and that is what it seems that Sparano wants too. That OLine has to be refixed because of Sparano's meddling. Damn him, now precious off-season moves & more money (that could be used elsewhere) will have to be invested in the OLine. Damn you Sparano, you must go, and the sooner the better.

Have you seen what Ireland has brought to our team? We have a top 5 defense that's FILLED with youth all because of Jeff Ireland. Also brought in some very nice pieces on offense. He isn't perfect but he's done a great job building our team up. If we had any kind of offense we'd be in the playoffs. Now that that's clear, he will fix the offense like he did the defense last offseason.

Ireland deserves to stay and I hope he does.

I was going to take you seriously until you put Sean Smith on the bubble. Ridiculous.

Sparano stays and grows his gonads back (4th downs etc.), and reattains that drive and meticulous nature from last year. We get a good OC who turns Henne around (IMHO Henne is better hitting receivers in stride than all the stupid come-back routes). Ronnie is resigned and Ricky retires. I love Ricky but Ronnie is a great blocker and receiver, which adds to his value and he dominates when healthy. Honestly we've been plagued by injuries on the OL, so I don't know how you fix that??? Add a speedster at RB and WR. Tough call on Crowder? He'd be a great backup!

Honestly, this season has gone how many pundits envisioned it going for the Dolphins (8-8/9-7)... One bad call away from beating Pittsburg, one dropped INT from beating Cleveland, etc.

Kubiak wold be nice. I even wouldn't mind McDaniels. As long as henning is gone. Which may mean sparano must leave. He seems to have a man crush on him.

Players that are on the bubble ...

RB - Sheets, and Hilliard .... needs to be able to earn playing time next year or be gone
TE - Haynos, Epps, Shuler and Mastrud .... someone needs to step up and show they can catch and earn time
WR - Wallace, Moore, Foster, Pruitt and Carter .... someone really need to show some speed and catching ability
T - Murtha, Kopa, and Marten need to step up and Carey needs to lose weight and get healthy ... good luck with the weight ....
G - Proctor, Incognito, McQuistan, Feinga, and Ghiaciuc all need to show some agility
C- Berger needs to show he can get to the 2d level, Ghiaciuc is a ???

DE - Merling and McDaniel ... position of strength, especially if Odrick is healthy
NT - Baker ... needs to show something
OLB - IKE and Moses ... have they shown enough to stick .....
ILB - Crowder, Dobbins and Spitler are nothing to write home about .... who knows about Ivy
CB - Wallace, Ness, and Sapp (who has improved over the course of the season)
S - Bell and Culver in order to save $$$$

Keepers:
Nolan
Henne
Brown - as a playmaker, not primary RB
Marshall
Bess
Hartline
Fasano
Long
Garner
Berger

Starks
Langford
Soliai
Odrick
Wake
Dansby
Misi
Edds
Smith
Carroll
Davis
Clemons
Jones
Amaya

Carpenter
Fields

The only one of the three I see going anywhere would be McDaniel and that would be a money issue.

That would have meant no Misi... I would rather have traded down, taken a TE and Misi...

Sean Smith on the bubble? Are we supposed to take that seriously?

My predictions:

Offensive Coordinator: Dan Henning retires, Brian Schottenheimer is fired from New York, Miami hires him
Quarterback: Kyle Orton
Departing Players: Ronnie Brown, Vernon Carey, Tony McDaniel
Incoming Players: Logan Mankins
First Round Pick: Trade down
Second Round Picks: Pat Devlin and Kendall Hunter

Best I can do at the moment. Not my ideas, not what I would propose...purely the most likely I feel to happen.

Put a bullet in me now.

And if he does depart , it would be with compensation hopefully. Adamant about that , MCD is ready to be a major major factor and I would keep him over Odrick and I also think Starks if pressed.

Odrick doesn't have nearly the same asset value right now due to his significant injury history imo.

I think they'll keep him. They seem ready to do so. If anything they'll trade him for Orton so that we don't have to give a pick to Denver.

What's the point of that? to take away from the strength of this team to make it a potential weakness? That doesn't make any sense no offense.

Ya I just don't seem them doing that. They've been pretty good about retaining young, solid talent and McDaniels isn't asking for anything out of this world as far as I've heard. I still wish we could take Odrick pick back though or at worst have it this year. Imagine having the 14 and another first together. Now that's a big start for acquiring Luck and doesn't even include that second or third we would have picked up the year before.
