    Marc Colombo has a deal in place with Miami. He reunites with Tony Sparano.

    and of course he is from the cowboys

    O'Hara likely to sign as well. Expect Berger and Carey out? Hmm.

    It's uncanny.

    I think every single move the Dolphins have made so far has been a move I've publicly denounced well before it actually happened.

    Prime example, a few weeks ago padre31 says to me (paraphrasing), "A lot of players are going to be cut by the Cowboys. Marc Colombo could be one of them. I could see the Dolphins grabbing him." To which I reply, "Colombo is old and played like sh-t the last few years, got Tony Romo killed. I have no idea why they'd be interested in him."

    Sure enough, Marc Colombo signs on the dotted line.

    And people think I'm just taking a sh-t on every move the Dolphins make just for the hell of it, as if I'd normally praise these moves if done by another team, but because the Dolphins did it I have to disapprove. They can go on thinking that if they want. They're wrong, and ignorant to boot. What keeps happening is a move gets proposed hypothetically, I say "I wouldn't do that, because of X, Y and Z" and then the Dolphins do it...and suddenly everyone expects me to change my mind, which I would find to be the very definition of being an irrational homer.

    They're not going to cut Carey for Colombo. At least I hope not, as it would be a disaster. Colombo has little left in the tank.

    I don't guess they are signing Colombo for depth. It is to be a starter. He is 32 but started at least 15 games 4 of the last 5 years.
    Could they plan to move Carey to guard? More likely cut or trade I guess.

    Sounds like they're trying to get Carey to take a pay cut.

    With the Dolphins signing M Columbo, I wonder if the Fins will rework the contract of Vernon Carey--or hold his feet to the fire...

    I don't think anyone (or maybe I'm just speaking for myself) expects you to change your opinion based off the fact that the Fins are signing them. I think the only things I've noticed are the pot shots and jokes. But I understand the frustration that those are bubbling from...

    I know you aren't high on Colombo as a starter. What are your thoughts in him for depth?

    I would much rather start Nate Garner at RT than Marc Colombo.

    A waste of a roster spot. I consider Nate Garner to be better.

    Most likely, but you still have to give him competition at the spot.

    praising jimmy wilson, excited for him how he will do on special teams, also on the back end when the ball is in there, "ball finds him", loves his physicality

    What should be a strength for both the team and this regime isn't and that , to me , is not a leading indicator of success .

    Pretty much. Thanks. I think we are all going to cringe if he becomes the RT and Carey is cut. For once the U of My Eyes guys and the PFF guys will be agreeing.

    If they let go Carey to start Colombo, that will not sit well. Colombo is pretty much done I thought. I saw snails do a faster kickslide than Marc Colombo last year.

    If they play him at LT it must mean they really hate Henne.

    More wasted resources on a Cowboys reject that can't play. This regime really is an atrocity.

    The people running the Miami Dolphins are idiots. Thats plain as day to some. If they go into the season with Henne and Moore at QB, what exactly is the point of watching? To see how high in the draft they select?

    Marc Colombo last played well...2 years ago.


    and has deteriorated ever since.

    Look, I am a Dolphin fan, I WANT them to do well..but there is no explanation for this move. There is no supporting film, no angels on a shoulder, no "upside", no SHOT of him returning to being a good player. The horse left the barn with him.

    He is not even a good option as a backup at RT.

    why can't good players be former Cowboys?
