Well, considering this unholy string of moves that have almost every single one been exactly what I didn't want to happen...it wouldn't surprise me. I'm not joking I email back and forth with four guys that I used to write with for an AFC East oriented web site and we were all talking about weeks ago the Jets' situation with Braylon Edwards, Santonio Holmes, Brad Smith and Antonio Cromartie...and I was telling them Santonio's the only guy they need to bring back. Braylon is mediocre because he's so inconsistent, Cromartie the same, and Brad Smith is just a specialty player, but Santonio is the real deal...is what I was saying. It would be super fitting if the Dolphins brought in Braylon Edwards for my crime of talking trash about him. Funny part is all the "our WRs aren't fast enough!" people will hail the move, even though Edwards has basically the same speed as Hartline and Marshall.
I have it on reliable intel that he did indeed sign it, then snapped it high and Ireland can't find it.
Speaking of speed and wr, were there any reports about how Clyde Gates did today? There's the answer.
I have never liked Braylon, but I wouldn't mind him on the Dolphins for the right price. I want Gates to be a big piece in our offense, and signing a guy like Braylon would definitely take away from that, but bringing him in would help our redzone offense a ton and I would love to see him post up 200 yard games against the Jets this year. It just all depends. I think we could be good with our current WR corps and just add either Moore, Wallace, or another prospect. Then we can use that money somewhere else. But, I think Braylon could be helpful in some situations.
Well the Vikings just signed Michael Jenkins which means they really ARE out of the Braylon Edwards hunt...FWIW.
I never thought the Redskins' splashes were very splashy at all. They spent a lot of money but always on players who didn't fit or had some caveats. I don't know how you attack that Philly D now. Their gains more than outweigh their significant losses (Bradley, Mikell).
You're right..... he isn't much faster than Hartline or Marshall, but what he does have that Hartline doesn't is: 6'3 215 pounds of physical size with the ability to attack the ball down field and make big plays over defenders. You can worry much less about overthrowing a guy when he can dominate a DB. He might not be a blazer, but defenses HAVE to respect him deep. Hartline as a threat is an afterthought.
Omar Kelly RT @IzadiStefan: Zzzzzzzzzzzzz Someone fell asleep on twitter» Coming shortly. Stay tuned.
Omar still beating the patience drum... he better have something good, this kinda stuff can hurt his credibility (even more!!)
Sounds like Brandon Marshall, who has been declared vocally to NOT be a deep threat, according to a bunch of people on this board.
Hope this isn't it. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/fl-brandon-marshall-borderline-person20110730,0,3435299.story Edit: Wow. I guess that was it.
OmarKelly Omar Kelly Here's the big news I was referring to. I hope this sheds some light into the darkness. sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-d… Its the Marshall personality disorder story..... Omar has a disorder as well
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/...all-borderline-person20110730,0,3435299.story That's the big news Brandon Marshall diagnosed with borderline personality disorder
That's actually pretty darn big, if true. If Marshall truly has a borderline disorder, he should be nowhere near an NFL team, let alone be psychologically unsupervised.
The out of shape, injured Marshall was much less of a threat than he should be. We both know that. He's more of a possession receiver; we both know that too. We also know he's not consistent on deep passes. Edwards might not be the overall receiver Marshall is (or as reliable) but he's definitely a more reliable vertical threat and one of the better down field receivers in the league. We have enough solid possession guys to where IMO we can afford to bring in someone who lacks in the possession aspect but makes up for it in the vertical game.
