Sleeper FA??

And what do we do with Roth? And I believe Traylor is done

 

Justin Smith is not going to be a bargain, believe me..... it does not matter how many sacks he had.

 

if you want real bargains look no further than 2 indy FAs; Matt Giordano and Ben Utecht

 

yea....utecht would be a nice pickup

 

yea true...i guess we need a solid QB first

 

May be a little small to play End in the 3-4, he is listed at 6'4 and 275 pounds. He is 28 and will be turning 29 in September, I don't see him coming to Miami.

 

I doubt Smith will be a sleeper. Teams know what he can do. Bryant Johnson though could be a sleeper starting WR. I'm also looking at LB Danny Clark as a sleeper LB.

 

How about andre davis.... also DT Corey Williams from the Green Bay Packers

 

remember, Utecht was probably the best senior TE in his draft class; ahead of Ben Watson and Ben Troupe (Winslow was a Jr), but went undrafted because of a serious back injury. He is a very good blocker (playing in the run heavy Minnesota system as well as being a blocking TE early on in his NFL career), and has very soft hands. Plus, he is 6'6 so he's a great red zone threat.

As for Giordano. Very,very fast and hits pretty hard as well. He is however, stuck behind arguably the best safety in the NFL in Bob Sanders as well as another good safety in Antoine Bethea.

No idea, Flozell was there a long time before Tuna got there, and I don't know how he feels about Parcells. He does not have a ring yet so going to a rebuilding team might not be in the cards for him. But who knows. Maybe he's one of those vets that is willing to help bring on the young guys (lord knows we need some of them)

 

Berrian will likely want a lot of money and we need a big WR anyways provided Ginn continues to play okay. DJ Hackett's a guy I would take note of but he's been really in and out of IR. When healthy he can be a 1200+ WR with double digit TD's but he hasn't been able to stay healthy.

 

traylor is done and roth is a back up ntn more.

 

Justin Smith would be a good pick up

 

Has he ever played in a 3-4?

 

we're not even a 3-4 yet. But I think he has some experience. Maybe from college, but wasn't Dick LeBeau the HC at Cincy early in Smith's career?

 

After seeing Hackett today, if he stays healthy, I would hope the Dolphins get some interest in him (unless they draft a nice tall WR). I thought the game really highlighted why a team needs a tall receiving option. Here you have Hackett using his size to make catches for 10+ yards on crucial downs. On the other side, short speedy Santana Moss was getting overthrown with passes that if he were a few inches taller ( or Hackett size), could've gotten.

 

That's the key though, IF he stays healthy.

One thing to remember is that Parcells was a wee bit disgusted with the number of Miami players on the injured list this year and said it wouldn't happen again. So I'm not sure we look at players that have a history of being injury prone. JMO

 

Andre Davis would be interesting to look at for the WR spot, had a HUGE year for a depleted Texans squad, but I very much expect them to resign him.

 

True. But with few options in FA, may have to take what's out there.

 

Major injuries are almost always flukey and totally unpredictable and unpreventable. You get seasons where everything chugs along, seasons where 1-2 guys might go down, and seasons where it seems the whole team is one massive IR list. Absolutely nothing you can do.
Injury prone is a relative term. If a guy keeps getting the same type of injury (high ankle sprains, continued turf toe, concussion issues) then hes injury prone. If he breaks a leg one year then blows out a knee the next hes just unfortunate.
Frankly, I was surprised to hear those comments. A tougher conditioning might help prevent minor injuries players get while fatigued or tired or not paying attention due to that, but its not going to keep someone from breakinga collarbone. Not saying I agreed with Cams approach (I didnt), I just dont want to see an overreaction to a flukely injury season and have half the team wiped out before our first game.

 

He can't be a sleeper.. I'VE heard of him....

 

Flozell Adams, he is a Parcells guy and even though he is old he could help for a year or two....

 

new regime, Traylor may stay.

 

i would love to have Hackett on this team and i would also love to have Trufant if Hackett can stay healthy he is a good WR

 

i think traylor is done to and i believe we trade Roth for some Draft Picks

 

yea he would be good to put in the middle if we dont draft Dorsey and then we can draft Chris long or Jake long

 

I totally agree. Roth has been a big dissapointment for a 2nd rd pick. Esp since he came into this year bigger and stronger and ready to breakout. He was non existent for the most part. He is a solid backup or revolving door DL type.

 

I just need to get to Jan. 21st then I'll be happy again.

Jan. 21st Senior Bowl week

Feb. 20th is the Scouting Combine.

March 1st is FA period, Spring Training for baseball, personal workouts and speculation

April 26th NFL draft

See it's just around the corner!!

 

no way Williams gets tagged. They'd have to pay him as a top 5 DT, and they've already got big money invested in Pickett and Harrell

 

flozell adams is going to be franchised

justin smith is a 4-3 DE...and i believe will be a 3-4 team

who in the world would trade anything for matt roth???

 

we could get a conditional pick for him.

I'm almost positive Smith played as a 3-4 DE at some point in his career, but I might be wrong. I also don't think we'll be a true 3-4 team for a long time. Traylor is the only NT we have and he's too old to do it every down, We do not have the ILBs to run the system, and aside from Wright, we don't have the DEs either.

 

so you would give a 1st and 3rd for adams? i dont know about that...

 

I never said I would. I was talking about getting conditional picks for Roth. I never even mentioned Adams in my post

 

Id keep Roth
