    Quit it already, you have to have an OL before you can expect your WRs to be able to catch TDs....Maybe, maybe this year it'll change and we'll actually get some OL....

    Is there a reason Misi is not garnering consideration at the Mike? I understand he's not an ideal fit, and perhaps he doesn't have the lateral quickness to do it, but he seems better suited than Ellerbe at the moment considering how vulnerable we were to runs up the middle.

    It seems to be that we could improve our LB play without investing additional resources simply by having Dion at Will, Misi at Mike, and Ellerbe at Sam.

    You think we're better off in the 4-3?

    Misi played DE, then a 3-4 OLB, and now a 4-3 OLB. I just think he's more conditioned to boundary play at this stage of his career. But he's changed position 2-3 times already so who knows?

    Here's how it works:

    - Philly contacts the Dolphins about Dion. Miami declines.

    Based on that simple event, I can write these simple headlines (or tweets) and they are technically true on the most base level but they don't actually tell the story....

    • Miami in talks with another team and Dion's name is on the table.
    • Miami to trade away Dion?
    • I'm told there's been discussion about trading Dion.
    • 3 years is the standard time to judge a draft pick by, but we've heard from league sources, that discussion has occurred over trading Dion. Another indictment of the past GM?
    • Miami denies they have Dion on the trade block, but where there's smoke there's fire.......

    Again, none of those are false or provably false, and yet they are not portraying the events as they happened and are adding a narrative to the event that doesn't exist.

    My only hope, is that each time stuff like this happens at least one more fan realizes this and stops buying into these things. It is actually hurting the team and we have to change it.

    Or it could be that the report that Miami declined isn't really true either. We don't know.

    We've had confirmation in Club. We do know.

    Your post is exactly the end result of what I'm talking about. We've been lied to (or steered into the wrong narrative) for so long, its hard for anyone to know the truth.

    But even if we don't know which is true, then at least we can start not accepting the media as gospel the second something comes out.

    It seemed like this was floated on here last year at some point. I agree. Misi doesn't have a lot of speed and though he's been on the edge he seems better suited for MLB than any other LB we have on the team. However, I wouldn't mind seeing OV put in on some plays at MLB also. He may be even better suited than Misi since OV is so stout against the run as a DE.

    Or on passing downs, have a 3 man DL: Wake - Odrick - Jordan. Then put OV in the MLB slot and let him stunt with Odrick and rush from there. Occasionally drop off in pass D.

    I think if Soliai and Starks come back with what Miami has now they have the perfect defense for a 3-4/4-3 hybrid defense that can be built around using everyone's strength and keep the offense guessing.

    To be completely honest, I think Miami is better off if they play primarily in nickel since this is more of a passing league than a running league at the moment.

    Or it could be that team sources the media so often refer to are leaking misinformation intentionally. Par for the course, especially this time of year.

    There's no real benefit for the Dolphins to be lying about that this time of year. Saying they declined talks about Dion gives them no upper hand in anything.

    Again, this is my fear, we've been lied to so much that people are more worried about the team lying than the media.

    I do think that as well, however I also think people make too much of a deal between 3-4 and 4-3.

    You can be more open with an agenda-less media and use it to your advantage. With the crap that is passed off for journalism now, you can't make a single move or decision without these clowns spinning it and the silly fans lapping it up.

    Oh wait...didn't he just sign an extension?

    Oh wait..didn't a certain somebody say he was a LOCK to still be here because the OWNER said he wasn't going anywhere?

    Your attempt at being cute fell as flat as a fart in church.

    In what World is questioning my accuracy smart?

    I mean...how many stories have I gotten exactly right? several dozen so far this year alone? How many of the things I have reported in Club level, that you have READ have been put verbatim by many of the same beat hacks you link?

    Seriously, this is completely offensive and cause to never share a ****ing thing ever again.

    In fact...the last time this happened, I didn't share a thing for months....

    Till I told everybody in the Club that they were gonna sign Mike Wallace, and gave the exact dollar figure they would sign him for.

    Caught **** for that as well...took a 2 month hiatus.....

    Then I told everybody in Club level that the Dolphins would TRADE UP for Dion Jordan 4 hours before it happened.


    So maybe....a 2 month vacation once again?

    I was told they were gonna franchise tag him. You read the ****ing Club. YOU KNOW I had elaborated on it for weeks in the club, you KNOW I had said that signing Grimes longterm was a Stephen Ross directive...but NOOOOOOOOOOOO..........Being a complete ******* is more important to you.

    You were completely dishonest in your attack, and it is a pattern with you.

    I am really thinking of taking that 2 month hiatus again.....Unless of course...you leave the Club..then I will share again in the Club, and in the Club ONLY.

    Good lord you sound butthurt for a professional.

    Funny that it's my attack when the initial post I responded to was yours talking down to people for not being in club.

    WTF does your first line mean?

    Butthurt? You are accusing me of being dishonest and inaccurate in a business built on accuracy, in a forum read by ALL THE PEOPLE I talk too.

    I was promoting the Club...you know...for the site to get more money...you know...for you to post your bull**** in the main forum? See how that works?

    There was too much false info being passed on last time I was there so I didn't feel it was worth renewing.

    lol I didn't accuse you of anything I inferred that what you reported was wrong, which it was, and the result is you now being melodramatic about it.

    Ya, bc me and anyone else posting here doesn't make the site any money. See how that works?

    What I reported was not wrong. You can issue the tag as a threat to get a longterm deal, which they got. My information as it pertained to Grimes was elaborated on in the Club and was extensive / remarkably accurate.

    So you are not in the Club anymore? Good. as soon as your badge goes away, I will share again in there, but your dishonesty and malicious nature is too much.

    Or you can go away all together. As in delete your account here, and never post again. That would be the right thing to do. It's been years of your bull**** in here, and I just decided to be the one to tell you that nobody likes you. I am just being vocal about it.

    Which they didn't do. They could of issued the tag and then rescinded it once the deal was made, which they also didn't do. You said they were going to tag him and they didn't. That is all.

    The last time I was still in club, Jim Harbaugh was still on that plane to Miami.

    Ya, my dishonesty and malicious nature :yawn: What was I dishonest or malicious about? I sarcastically pointed out your incorrect thread in the mains after you made your initial sarcastic post. I know you have a show and everything but is the excess drama really necessary?
