    The jack, the Leo, the rover, I like to call him the freestyler, I think it's becoming more obvious to the eye that not pigeon holing this tremendous talent is the way to go..Let him run, let him play, let him jump, cover, rush, tackle, deflect, make plays in open space..

    No impact for another 11 days, keep working on the strengthening, unleash this weapon into our defense and onto the browns.

    Really? Brady just calls him "Sir". :shifty:


    Man, I hope he stays healthy and terrorizes QBs on his way to DROY.

    He'd be like a surprise attack on Cleveland. Nobody really has film on him with the Dolphins defense. Teams are gonna look to run on him, but if Miami can keep him on the back-side pursuit of a run, he could chase down anyone moving laterally, so he could be a factor from day one against the run, too. Plus, you could probably put him on a TE and let a LB blitz. Or you could drop him into the slot zone area while a safety blitzes. I'm just thinking of ways to avoid teams pounding right after him. His athletic ability allows him to do so many things that opposing offenses wouldn't have a clue on any play. I'd also consider running some plays just for him, plays similar to what he did at Oregon. Point him somewhere, wind him up and enjoy.

    Well, I think the good news is that, ok, he had a bit of a setback, if that, still no proof of a reinjury, it could very well of been more like a stalemate in the progression of the rehab, so they decided to shut him down contact wise for a month, focus on strengthening, and aim for the regular season as the goal..

    Could of been he felt some soreness in the shoulder after that hit in the jag game, shut him down for a month, the even better news is, im sure they took all precautionary measures to recheck the stability of the shoulder, so it looks promising after those measures were taken that he's back on the practice field, I mean if the MRI'd him again and it showed something wrong, he surely wouldn't be practicing.

    This isn't a form of government. It's a message board to intelligently discuss the Dolphins. The mods don't have to keep him around if they don't want to.

    I'm not afraid of what he has to say. The problem is that it's blatant trolling. If he believed that and actually debated it, instead of just trolling, I'd agree that he should be allowed to post it. I have no opinion on Dion Jordan the football player, and whether or not he turns out to be a good football player has absolutely no effect on my life.

    Some of "us" live in Canada and Mexico and the UK and countries elsewhere... and it isn't the always the message, sometimes it's the delivery. Even if that is the poster's real opinion, he could have stated it better or even not at all. And regardless, Jordan is a part of team and neither he, you, or anyone else has an honest idea at this point if drafting of Jordan was a "wasted" pick or not.

    Well, he did play his Senior Yr with a torn labrum, no surprise he's gutting it out.

    Do think it would be wise to not expect a fast start from him, he also may be used in coverage a lot.

    I actually think he's better at coverage and against the run at this point. He's fast so he can pas rush around the edge, but if the T gets there he has limited counters. I think his sacks this year will primarily come from plays where he wins with speed or hustle plays (he has a good motor). But I expect he'll make as many or more plays when he drops back at first.

    Ever since Dion played in that first game I've noticed his personality and confidence come thru with much more transparency than before, almost like he now knows he can play with these dudes at a high level..

    What's going to be interesting is will he be able to handle all the misdirection that is gonna be coming our way.

    This was the only positive thing I could summon about the injury. If they don't have NFL tape of the guy, he may be a beast against the 1st offense he plays.

    At this point, I just want him healthy. Don't rush him back. After my intitial being pissed off for trading up to get an injury that couldn't make it through pre-season, I'd rather cool off and let the kid really heal.

    Da Hell? Are you questioning Dion Jordan? There's no questioning Dion Jordan.

    He had like 3 QB pressures, 1 hit, and a tackle in space as a stand up LB in his first ever game a few weeks ago against the Cowpies. Guy's gonna redefine the term "beasting"... And when they turn to run from him, Wake and Soliai and Oldick is going to clean up. Coyle and Rocky are stocking up and keeping hanky's nearby for the sexplosions they're gonna have just watching him.

    He's like Reed Richards from the Fantastic Four. He's just everywhere... he's like a good guy version of that crazy nazi guy that was wound up from the original Hellboy that just kicked *** none stop while laughing manically... he is just going to take mofo's out right and left... no... NO! There's no questioning Dion Jordan... crazy kid.

    Agree on wanting him healthy. As for the injury, I think he played most of last season at Oregon with the torn labrum. Tough kid. I think (hope) he'll be fine for the season, as he is already back at practice. Really excited about his potential. /Fingers crossed

    Lol, gotta find some kind of challenge to talk about..the misdirection/read option can neutralize some of the athleticism of the player, and there was a bit of a delay I saw on his college stuff, On more than a few occasions, I could be wrong on this part of his game because we know his change of direction is outstanding and the ground he can cover in open space is freakish, but there was a little delay in his instincts when he had to take on that formation, albeit a small sample size, it's about the only thing I could find when I was writing about him predraft..

    I would rather sandbag him until he is completely healthy and then spring him on the Patriots .Wildcat game part 2 .Brady was continually disrupted by a player like JT in his prime .

    Dion "Wild Thing"Jordan can have that same kind of impact.:yes:...but lets get him healthy first.:praying:

    You're misreading me. Of course he'll be great! I said I hope his shoulder will be ready for the season. NOT that he'd need but 1 shoulder, mind you...

    Then I said he will RPP (rape, pillage, plunder) opponents like a buzz saw through bread.

    Please tell me Wild Thing is not the official nickname.

    I actually would not like him to come out against a rival. But I'll settle for Bills or Bengals at home.

    I am quite concerned about his injury.It has not healed completely.Given his draft status is it not better to keep on the bench until he has been cleared completely.Why take a chance.
