They HAVE to of run out of places to take him by now. St. Louis is not the tourist capitol of the planet with things to visit. Still hope he is on our team in 2013. The Rams are the pits of hell, even deeper then the pits of hell, the pits of nothingness.
I've heard some people theorize that the reason we let Keller walk away is because Long didn't like what was offered by the Rams and wants to come back.
but we can afford both(tho not what keller is asking for...he wants cook money. i would give him what bennett got, 4/20)
That's what I've been saying. Jake is $$$ even after a big discount. Need to see what's going on with that before we can move on
Im somewhat surprised nothing has been announced yet. I would of thought they would of at least said there was a deal in principle by now. I wonder how aggressivily Miami is working to resign him and if they are putting a monkey wrench in ST Louis's plans?
what an odd situation this is becoming. If your St. louis fans your probably going to be irate if he doesnt sign.
If he is it is only because miami wants him back and is willing to offer him a healthy chunk of change to get him. I suppose once we hear what he signed for we will have a better idea if what your saying seems accurate or not.
How can you say things like that when you have absolutely no knowledge of the facts? Don't any of you have internal BS filters for yourselves?
It's called deductive reasoning. We need an OT if long leaves. Winston is most likely that guy. We won't need winston if we resign long. Long is seeing if he can get more elsewhere. Hence we are waiting on long. Not to mention i said that was my opinion, never passed it off as a fact.
So why is Winston waiting? No other teams are interested in a highly rated tackle? You're jumping to conclusions. You have no idea what's going on. None of us do.
Perhaps Ireland is pissed Fisher stole Cook out from under his nose, and now he plans to do the same...
The guy said "IMO". I see people post opinions and pass them off as fact about 50 times a day here, mainly in the draft forum. Take a stand against that, not some guy who is simply using his gut feeling and explaining it as such.
Lions LT Backus retired today. Perhaps DETROIT is not jumping into the contest. Best place for Jake is right here. Per wikipedia he is now with St. Louis but anyone can change that right ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Long
Big Jake needs to just come back to Miami, get himself healthy, and get back to being arguably the best left tackle in football once again. Does anyone realize that the percentage of pressures that Jake has given up in the past two years in what are considered to be down years for him are still equal to or better than the career averages of guys like Ryan Clady, Duane Brown, and Joe Staley? The guy is 27 years old and is two years removed from being rivaled only by Joe Thomas as the league's best left tackle. Resign him. Give him a one year prove it contract. If he's healthy, let him cash in next year.
Why would he accept a one year prove it contract from us when St. Louis is probably offering a multi-year deal?
I think once the dust settles and the truth comes out the big delay in all of this is going to trace back to his dogs charlie poodle twitter acct. Apparently the dog is very invested into living in Miami and wants no part of the ST Louis scence. From my understanding his dog is of the oppinion that there is nothing worth pooping on there and perfers the *****es in South Beach.
Jake Long does not dominate, Jake Long never dominated. Jake Long is a decent tackle, that's about it. Not worth a penny more than Eric Winston.
#TakinMyCredit Shannon Giordano looks like quite a dish BTW. Gotta say, the peanut butter notion doesn't apply with her, only Fin-D. Wonder if we could get her to join ThePHins.
Jake Long never dominated? That might be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on this site.
It wasn't reported by Keller's brother on twitter. It was tweeted by some guy who said he talked to Keller's brother.
Fin D, Your now the first person in the history of the internet to make a mistake. Everyone pick up a stone and let's throw it at him.
Are you taking the Dogs credit??? BTW feel free to use the nothing worth pooping on and/or the *****es in south beach comment on the twitter acct. You have my permission to plagiarize me.
That last part wasn't by Bernie Miklaz. As a matter of fact Bernie tweeted after that " Thats where it stands, tough for him to leave Dolphins I imagine " Miklatz is a sports writer for the St. Louis post dispatch here is a link to his twitter. https://twitter.com/miklasz
