Better than Ole...

 

I agree, especially since they drafted Dickson and Pitta. Unless they don't think Heap will return and were covering their bases with another vet. I think his odds of contributing and even making the team were considerably higher in Miami.

 

That's okay. All I want is 'plain' out of the SOLB position. I'm hoping Misi does a solid job, sets the edge, is close in coverage, doesn't make too many mental mistakes or misses many tackles. Any 'special' (sacks, INTs or other big plays) we get there this season will be gravy.

 

Cam Cameron probably threw him a bone before the draft....what made it fall through was probably the fact they drafted a couple TE's and he wasn't ready to even work out yet. Just my theory.

 

i was just on a ravens board and one of the posters said the ravens might be looking for a CB in a trade. He read it in the Baltimore Sun but I cant find the article. They have LBs, WRs, DL or TEs that they could conceivably move. Wonder if we would be interested in moving Jason or Will Allen for one of the positions mentioned above

 

I think Langford is poised for a potential breakout year much like Starks was last year. I think all three probably starters on the DL (Langford, Starks and Odrick) have pro bowl potential. Odrick's potential is probably not pro bowl this season, but down the line.

I think the G positions will come down to who is best in pass pro. I think Jerry and Thomas can be dominant run blockers, but they make too many errors in pass pro. It would be best for us if one of those guys improves enough in that area to snag a starting spot, b/c Berger and Garner are just so versatile that I would love to have them as starter quality back-ups.

 

Maybe, depending on Misi, but then Misi will just back him up. I don't see Misi displacing a Will in that circumstance. We don't want 'plain' at the Will.

 

I think you are the only one.

 

Put him at WILL doesn't maximize his talents in this scheme.

 

I think that this team has few players receiving a ton of irrational hate, other than Crowder, if Killer is there or White, if KB is there.

I could see the fans getting on Turner a bit. But really I think RW is just talking about being positive in general terms.

 

i wouyld find it bizarre if people are booing at practices. in a game i can see it but at a practice?

 

That was my thought.

They are practicing, that is where you want to see them make the mistakes.

 

Fail Forward Fast..

 

It definitely happens. Just the other week the fans got on Roy Williams after a drop following that hazing media flap. I used to see it all the time when I would go to Dolphin camp and other camps. Sometimes fan sentiment just goes against certain players, whether it's reasonable or not.

 

I think it spells more trouble for Jason Allen, to be honest.

I just can't see the Dolphins -- or any team for that matter -- going all youth at that position. You can't. You've got to have a steady vet in the mix. Just like you need a vet at WR (or any position for that matter). Heaven forbid we lose a starter, I think you want Will Allen there rather than Nolan Carroll or Jason Allen right now.

If Carroll and Nate Ness continue to impress, I think Jason is the odd man out. Those are even younger guys with upside. I think they'd try and trade Jason.

Right now (early) I think there's a really strong possibility of V. Davis / S. Smith / W. Allen / Carroll / Ness. Ness is still getting time at corner and safety, though I'm not sure what ratio (supposedly he was going to be a corner this year). So he could possibly give you position flexibility when you're deciding on your gameday 45.

I think Misi would probably move inside in that case. I'm talking down the road, not right now. If he's still became a pretty good player, they would probably want to keep him on the field, no?

 

We can't help it, we keep reading your posts

Either we've got one hell of a defense or Sparano needs to settle on an O-line rotation stat!
