Some good QB info, and interest..

Good morsels in this Tyrod Taylor interview..

''This past week, he took part in a private workout for the Dolphins at their facility in Miami, which was attended by general manager Jeff Ireland, coach Tony Sparano, offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and even defensive coordinator Mike Nolan. Taylor took to the field and made about 30 throws, mostly to tight ends and running backs, and his ability to digest the Cliffs Notes version of the offense he was handed turned out to be just as important as his footwork and arm strength.

As he has done since Day 1 of the evaluation process, Taylor made sure to highlight the fact that he has experience in a pro-style offense and didn’t simply put up a bunch of empty statistics in a spread-option attack.

“We have a pro style-slash-spread,” said Taylor. “That’s what I will call it. We run every route that the NFL runs. Just certain people are a little different, certain steps. But as far as everything that we worked on, we ran that at Virginia Tech. It’s just called a little different, and the way they [run routes] out of the backfield, they did it out of a split instead of the I-formation. But everything they ran I was comfortable with.”

This time of year, general managers, coaches and fans alike wonder whether or not college QBs can make all the throws they’re required to make on Sunday, like the deep out and the post corner, and while Taylor doesn’t feel he struggles with any of them, he has developed some favorites.

“One route that we threw a lot at Virginia Tech was the speed out at 10 yards,” he said. “Skinny posts on seven steps is a timing throw, five steps with no hitch from the quarterback. And sometimes, like I said, it’s a timing throw, seven steps. It’s a skinny post, and you have to hit him on the line.”

A year ago, the Dolphins thought they had their quarterback of the future in 2008 second-round pick Chad Henne, who is a 6-3, 230-pound pocket passer with a quality arm. However, the former Michigan Wolverine didn’t make much of an improvement from Year 2 to Year 3, putting together a poor passer rating of 75.4 and throwing more interceptions (19) than touchdowns (15). Henne’s backups last season, Tyler Thigpen and Chad Pennington, aren’t in position to challenge for the job -- both are free agents, and Pennington’s career is likely over after a recent pickup basketball game resulted in a torn ACL.

One would think Miami now shies away from undersized QBs long on athleticism, as 2009 second rounder Pat White went from Wildcat specialist to minor league baseball player to retired two-sport enigma by the age of 25, but Taylor has always considered himself more of a passer than a runner, even going back to high school.

“I’ve talked to them throughout the East-West Shrine Game,” said Taylor, “and [at] the combine I talked to them. They want somebody to come in and compete. Of course, I think the best situation would be for me to come in and compete, but at the same time get a chance to learn from a guy and be ready to [play] maybe a year from now. I believe I can be successful next year in the NFL as a quarterback, but I think the best situation for me would be to get in and learn and then be able to play.”

If the Dolphins decide to go in a different direction, Taylor isn't worried because he has personally conversed with several teams on more than one occasion, plus his agent has taken calls from a few others.

 

were only talkin later roundpick here, Iam not saying hes our future, hes a player iam interested in to continue to develope the hybrid, and to convince him to do X to get that elite athleticism on our team..it looks as though our regime might feel the same, we'll see.

Give me Ingram..CKap..Little..Havili/Sturdivant..Tyrod..and i'll give you a completely rebuilt multidimensional offense.
