http://www.ffmastermind.com/quickbits.php#202879 "-- Dolphins May Pursue Marcus Spears -- The Miami Herald reports with DE Phillip Merling (Achilles' tendon) out for the 2010 season, the Dolphins may turn their attention before training camp is over to Dallas Cowboys DE Marcus Spears, a starter who has fallen somewhat out of favor with the Cowboys and whom Bill Parcells drafted in the first round in 2005. Although Spears finished the season with a career-high 2.5 sacks in 2009, the Cowboys former first-round pick got a lower restricted free agent tender offer than either of his backups. Spears was available in trade just prior to the draft. The Dolphins also have DE Tony McDaniel, DE Ryan Baker, DE Ikaika-Alama Francis, DE Lionel Dotson and rookie DE Jared Odrick slated at defensive end. Former Jets/Ravens/Saints/49ers DE Marques Douglas might be a possibility based on his history with DC Mike Nolan. But Douglas is 33 years old and at 6-2 and 290 does not meet the prototype size the Dolphins like in their defensive ends."
I'm sure Ireland won't make a knee jerk reaction and waits to see what acorns fall off the waiver wire come late August.
true, however I can see them wanting get somebody in to get up to speed on the system as well....late august isnt going to cut it...
This is a very common sense statement, and I hope they follow your lead. When it comes to post draft personnel the Dolphins always do a great job. They look for smart, tough, and high character players in the draft and seem to follow a similar pattern in the post draft. Tuna, will continue to use his many contacts to build a winner.This is the team that Tuna has always wanted to build but he was always hogtied by the interference of owners. Be paitent guys, we'll get there.
they know what Spears is all about although, I believe in Jared Odrick you just never know w/ a rookie Spears would seriously upgrade the defensive line got the look of a Parcells deal in the making
Worthless report. Armando Salguero speculated that the Fins might pursue Marcus Spears. It's his personal conjecture. He didn't report anything. He didn't learn from a source that the team is considering Marcus Spears. He's simply offering an educated guess based on the Dallas to Miami pipeline that has infused this team with players over the last two years. This plus the Channing Crowder faux pas from a week or so ago should really make all of us vary of wire-type reporting services, especially ones devoted to fantasy football.
Hello Dolphin fans, I'm probably guilty of being a bit of a troll; I apologize. I'm a Giants fan, but other than when you play my team I root for Miami, my affection is probably a result of me being an even bigger Jet hater than you. Anyway, how about Osi for a #1..alright, maybe a #2. BTW, any Floridians have an opinion about John Pierre Paul? After the season we had last year most of us wanted a sure thing (if that exists) rather than a project with a huge upside. Thanks for letting me in and have a great season. I live 9 miles from the Jets headquarters in Florham Park NJ. Unless you live in the area you have no idea how aggravating Jet fans are right now, every day and I mean every day, they pathetically try to get the back page. They hate that this is by far a Giants town (and always will be). You will never see a bigger sibling inferiority complex than the Jets have with the Giants, especially their socialite owner. I hate that we're sharing our new stadium with them, ughh!!! Woody actually whined about a coin flip that determined who would get the first home game. Reportedly he threw none stop hissy fits during construction, he wanted nothing blue, even if there was the same amount green; result the seats are battleship grey. Yesterday the Jets announced a ring of honor. The Jets first home game is a Monday night national game so that must be when they have this ceremony right? Wrong, they're doing it during a pre-season game against the Giants, in a pathetic attempt to stick it to them. Can you feel my pain? Go Dolphins!!!!!!!!!!!!
as a DolFan, I will forever remember/wish well the Giants. since their incredible Superbowl win over NewEngland, they have become my second team.
We have enough depth where they can wait and see what develops. This of course is assuming that Odrick is going to start.
thats awesome bro, on another site, I was defending NY fans, baseball wise, that NY'ers dont care about anybody fla, minny, heck even boston, as much as they care about beating the other NY teams, and getting the back page hahahah too funny.....anyways rest easy my friend, the Jets will choke, and it will always be Giants town up there......You will always get a lifetime pass for me, as a Giant fan, for beating the Pats in the SB Hey this ring of honor the Jets wanna do, how is that going to fly....?? Are the Giants pissed about it?
Yada, yada, yada....anytime we are looking for someone, any former Parcells player just HAS to be the guy we are after....I could have come up with this useless banter if I wrote for the Herald....
