In nickel situations, I honestly think we should go the TCU route. Sub Misi out, sub a DB in to play the slot side from the OLB spot, and shift...

I agree. But, on the other hand, they'd die.

Salary caps aren't static. Mark my words, we're going to see 15-20 million dollar jumps per year for the next couple of years to compensate for...

Last jersey I owned was a Marino. Definitely getting a Suh jersey.

I can't believe this is even a question. As far as player acquisition moves in the history of the Miami Dolphins it's #3 behind drafting Dan...

Interesting paper. The abstract mentions the predictive tools I was talking about. I had no idea, however, that there was a model for human...

Two ways I can see analytics being immediately applied. One way is to simply rank FA and draft prospect based upon every relevant measurement you...

A kicker... Swope is getting the Davone Bess treatment. Oh well, if he's a UDFA, at least we probably have the inside track.

The purpose of something like a hotel tax is to offset the cost of infrastructure degradation due to heavy tourism and, where needed, to improve...

Okay, now what about futuristic?

Can we get a positive attribution to this rather than hearsay? I can't find an article anywhere that states Mike Dee said this.

I will disagree with even this. Marino was a leader of men, the type of guy who could get 110% out of the entire team all the time and push...

I live half an hour from Gillette Stadium, so I see plenty of him and the Patriots. I've had discussions with Patriots fans where they will...

Bull****. I've never seen Brady put a pass 50 yards down field and on the money. Marino did it with ease. I've never seen Brady put so much heat...

Of late you've been . Why don't you try ?

Here's the thing that I don't think people realize. Nike, upon occasion, will push out obviously and badly done photoshop jobs to fan sites to...

Alternate uniforms are home only, which is why most teams have a second dark uniform. Does anybody have a source on Mike Dee saying the uniforms...

I'd just like to put paid to the idea that our homes and aways are going to both be white. That's not allowable by NFL rules; the home team...

Personally speaking I think there is a great deal of obfuscation going on. I do believe you saw the uniforms with the navy outlines, I've never...

NFLShop has pretty much everything Dolphins on sale.

We support the team by making a point of watching games when they come on, either at the bar or at home if we have Sunday Ticket, and buying gear....

I don't understand this point of view. Nobody has ever said that if you live in an NFL market city you must support the local team.

Roster size will increase with or without extra games once no-huddle offenses become commonplace.

Google "sportslogos jersey wallpaper 16:9". I think p.stic did them and he tends to link his tutorials in his sig.

To quote one of my buddies, "**** that guy."

It's a sticker, they can change that in 24 hours if they want.

Hey, since you obviously have a cleaned up version of the logo, can I get a download link?

Kansas State Wildcat fan here. I'm really excited to see what Miller does for us and if Daniel Thomas steps it up.

Funny thing, after seeing the white facemask nothing else looks right.

Woah, let's slow down there. Belichick is not some kind of football genius. He cherry picks from the systems of other coaches, integrates them...

The grey facemask wasn't because of any aesthetic choice, it was because they literally couldn't color the type of plastic that was used for a lot...

Absolutely. I've wanted the NFL to do a D League since Europa was shut down. For example, I can't help but imagine that the NFL would benefit...

Well, now that the consoles are moving the X86 (PC) hardware, the developers are going to have to start over. Personally I hope they start to put...

I'd be down for the elimination of two preseason games, the addition of an extra bye week, and a 16 team playoff so that everybody has to play the...

Well, if you have a subpar MLB. Everybody here remembers how Zach Thomas locked down the field from the MLB position, if we can find somebody to...

The one on the NYC site clearly wasn't it. Different colors, different proportions, and the sun was totally different. Also, the pic taken was...

You're expecting them to notice minor details like completely different proportions? LOL!

That's perfect, but the primary color is off. That appears to be teal blue instead of aqua.

If they're deep sixing the drop shadow, it's a certainty. Going by the logo, I'd say you're going to see a font with rounded corners and ends that...

It's.... The same thing. The wrap around on the helmet makes it look different, but it's not. Quick, someone with the Copperfield pic.

Wasn't it back in 95, the last game that Montana and Marino played against each other, when the fans were so loud (and wouldn't shut up) that they...

They're not. They're asking for a 1 percentage point increase in the bed tax to pay for this. Something local people won't even have taken out of...

Mando's a hack. What do you want?

No, my standard is that if you live in the area and you're a fan of the team, you should do your part. That means showing up and making the...

West Virginia doesn't use either route. Not as part of an overall concept, not as an individual route, and not as a stem break in a 9 route....

He's a qualified receiver in his own right, but an x-factor is somebody that by definition breaks the status quo with what they do. Using Austin...

He runs two routes. Jailbreak screen and a 9 route with multiple options along the stem. I've seen plenty of route-running that made my jaw drop,...

Somebody gets it. About ****ing time. If that's what you're aiming for, you're wasting your time with Austin. His route running isn't going to...

*yawn* Boring. You've been screaming about how great Austin is and how he's going to change the game, then you throw that vanilla **** out there?...

You're going to sit there and tell me you couldn't use Kenjon Barner in the same way that you would Austin? I'm talking schematically, not...

Great, now tell me how you're going to create space for Austin to do his thing without multiple 4.3 receivers threatening the verticals. If you...

Because that's a 31 personnel set? I'm sure we'll run that quite a bit, but the 41 set was the easiest to explain three verticals. By all means,...

Difference is I would have to buy a plane ticket and a game ticket. Plane tickets are quite a bit more expensive than game tickets.

Except it doesn't work unless you have a legitimate deep threat in the slot other than Austin.

Nor was he entirely a running back. In the same manner, Tavon Austin was not entirely a wide receiver for West Virginia. Funny thing that happens...

Funny you should say that, because I'd motion Austin from the slot into the backfield about a quarter of the time. Especially when I suspected the...

Barry Sanders was once in a generation. Tavon Austin is not, I assure you. Hell, Kenjon Barner can do many of the same things as Austin can, he's...

I understand what Austin does and I understand what Swopes does. I understand that you're overly enamored with the sexy pick, whereas I'm...

Now you're being combative to be combative and it's starting to piss me off. I specifically made that preface to illustrate the differences...

I'm perfectly well aware of it, but his status as a UDFA had nothing to do with his on-the-field performance.

Keller, Clay, and Egnew will have their roles as WCO tight ends in two and three receiver sets. It's neither desirable nor possible from a...

After a year of development. I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but Bess had a 2nd round grade by the draft committee the year he came out.

Except the fact that I work and go to school, so I don't have that sort of disposable income.

See my response to Phinsational. I don't know how to explain my preferences except in schematic terms. I feel I'm hitting a brick wall doing it...

How to explain this... Understand that we're not going to run a Walsh-style WCO with three receivers, a TE, and a back. When you run the WCO out...

I'm not. In a three verticals passing concept from a 2x2 shotgun set, three of your receivers run dedicated nine routes. Swope is the slot...

Because Rust Belt cities that have been harder hit for longer still manage better attendance.

No? I think if Amendola, he who is often injured, got 6 million per year then Bess certainly will. I think if Welker, who is on his last contract,...

I think they brought Gibson in to play flanker on the far side in 3x1 sets, to give Hartline breathers in 2x2 sets during no huddle situations,...

Can is the operative word. On the other hand, Bess is pretty much an ideal slot receiver.

Austin's official 40 time is 4.34, which is the same as Swope's official time. So, yes, they run the exact same speed in a straight line....

Bess has shown his ceiling in an offense that runs, at max, four receiver sets once in a blue moon. If what's been going around is true, we're...

You don't think Bess is going to be making 6 million/year after this season? I do, just not with the Dolphins.

I was a fan for life after watching my first Dolphins game. I was three. Then again, my little brother had two new teams yearly until he settled...

Slot receivers are payed like #2 receivers now. Their value is a lot higher than it was a decade ago.

Gibson is an W or X receiver in a four receiver set. That means he's a boundary receiver. He can play flanker on the far side of a 3x1, but that's...

Seriously, I want to slap you people. What, just because we have a decently complete WR corps for once Bess becomes expendable? But there's a...

Do you understand that to run a 2x2 set you need two slot receivers? Even if we drafted Austin or Swope, that just means a hole was filled. It's...

Guy, listen to yourself. He's our only slot receiver. We only have Wallace, Hartline, and Bess who have produced 100+ yard games.

If a receiver-poor team won't give up a 2nd for a proven slot receiver that's only making 3 million, then you don't trade him. You literally can't...

If we add a receiver, it's not going to be Bess on the chopping block. It'll be Marlon Moore, Rishard Matthews, or Armon Binns. If you can't get a...

The more I think about this, the more I think the team should ring up the Rams and trade Bess to them for their second. Swope is very attainable...

A 4th is way too low for Bess, I would say a low 2nd or early 3rd at a minimum. The Patriots set the market with the Welker trade, so even that's...

Being a USC offensive player, there's a lot more to worry about than how he'll adjust to the cold weather. If I were running a war room, I'd take...

Guy's name is David Holmes and Southwest had him do a stock meeting rap after the original video went viral.

First of all, I think your viewpoint is slightly skewed. We do have a hole in the slot, but it's not Bess'. Remember, Philbin and his crew want to...

Trufant and Rhodes are both man cover guys, they have no zone skills worth talking about. Johnathan Banks reminds me of Sean Smith, so I want...

I don't think so. In Patterson I see a guy who is what the college level calls an athlete, which is code for "he has the physical tools to do...

I would be very pleased if we drafted Eric Fisher, because he's a consensus Top 10 pick. I wouldn't be displeased about Lane Johnson. I would be...

If they're not Dolphins fans, I don't care. I do care that local fans aren't packing the stadium and making it the most intimidating place to play...

I said 4.5-4.55 was typical for new model seam threat tight ends. Anything under that is decidedly atypical. I don't want a slot guy who won't be...

I wouldn't be opposed to Eric Fisher or Lane Johnson. But, if we do that, I'm going to be pissed if after three years we don't sign one of them to...

Okay, I'm going to make this real simple for you. When, as children, we decide what sports teams we want to support, some of us aren't motivated...

For the new model seam threat TEs? Yes. Both Vernon Davis and Jared Cook were timed in the 4.3 range. For the record, I'm not really in love with...

Exactly this. I didn't like Smith going into that draft and I don't like Banks for many of the same reasons. That said, I think Banks is a better...

I'm not sure he played a lot of man. I saw a lot of what looked like man, because he was in a press position and he seemed to dog the receiver,...

You start very simply. You teach the route tree, starting from the shortest route to the longest and then have him practice throwing it. Then once...

How is something like consistent line weight subjective? If something like that is subjective, then ISO 9001 standards for manufacturing are as well.

I don't think you comprehend just how simple WV's offense is. It's six simple play concepts that can be run in six or seven different formations....

I agree he's not physical. I think that's because his weight is so low for his height and he's aware of it. That said, if the dog doesn't bite as...

I don't agree on Poyer. His speed is TE-typical, which means he can't make a mistake in coverage ever. That's just too much to ask for in a...

What the hell are you talking about? Dana Holgersen's offense is pure zone-read, to be a successful QB in that offense you have to be a dual threat.

West Virginia's offense doesn't have any WCO concepts at all. It's not an easy offense to learn unless you have some familiarity with at least the...

Er, I was referring to the football stadium. I didn't see the golf part of your statement. Excuse me while I go work on my reading comprehension.

If I got drafted by the Bills, I'd refuse to sign the contract.

Geno Smith could be another RGIII/Colin Koepernick is he lands in the right situation. Probably more Koepernick, because he had to sit for a year.

I would say Johnathan Banks is at the top of that list, but I think somebody's going to reach based on need when Milliner and Rhodes go. His...

Whether you like the logo or not is subjective, absolutely. However, graphics designers have standards of execution that are entirely objective....

The potentially elite zone corners are in the 2nd round. I see us going offense in the 1st, maybe after a trade down.

I don't understand what your point is. I'm not from Michigan, so even were I inclined to that form of provincialism I wouldn't be a Lions fan. And...

I was born in Oklahoma and grew up in Kansas. There are no local teams. It's why I can say my favorite football team is the Dolphins, my...

Teams absolutely will double and triple cover Mike Wallace, if they can. They double and triple covered Ted Ginn, even after it was apparent he...

Good thing St. Louis has an indoor stadium, then.

I've only had one chance to go to a Dolphins game in my life, when I was living in Dearborn and they came to town for Thanksgiving. I went when I...

She qualifies as average up here in New England. But Johnson was way out of bounds. Making that sort of comment in parts of this country leads to...

Count me as one of those who disliked the pre-96 logos. I also dislike the effete, almost-pastel coloring of the past. Teal (which is what it was)...

I knew this point was going to be brought up. Net worth != liquid assets.

Funny you should say that, because back in 94 the Packers almost did exactly that. They were going to replace the cheese yellow with a unique...

Speaking of Aaron Curry, how much do you think it would cost us to sign him? He might be a bust as a first round pick, but as depth I think he'd...

You can run a read off one of the defensive tackles. Generally speaking you run the read off the most dangerous athlete on the line, so as to take...

I'd go with the logo version. The funny thing is that to perfectly match the colors between the helmet logo, tackle twill (or screen printed, in...

Throw in some slot motion options and reverses from the slot and you'd be driving defenses nuts.

It's the same Pantone color, but it looks different because materials reflect light differently. In short, it's an optical illusion.

The Dolphins are the only team in Florida that pays full property taxes and sales taxes for their facility, unlike the Marlins who paid nothing...

That's a pretty definitive statement. The only problem is that people have understood that football is potentially dangerous for a long time. I...

Guys, the rule is that you can't lead with the crown your head outside the tackles.

I really like Tavon, I think he would be awesome in our offense, but as a receiver he can be shut down. You notice that return against K-State?...

There have been documented cases of Bottlenose Dolphins harassing/attacking Great Whites. Great Whites make blind side attacks against individual...

Every Great White, or other species of shark, would like a word with you. They go out of their way to avoid dolphin pods.

I hate to say this in response to your first post, but please find the nearest wall and run head first into it. Immediately thereafter, go find a...

Guys, having Redpin's logo on a uniform means nothing. It's incredibly easy to have tackle twill patches made up and sown onto "authentic"...

Is Misi really that bad as a 4-3 Sam? Isn't his job in our system the same that it was when we ran a 3-4?

Route running is teachable. Getting a player in the habit of pivoting his plant foot 45 degrees in the direction of his break and dropping his ***...

Anything past 15 yards is deep in the NFL. I have seen all three guys burn corners on 15+ yard routes. Route running is more important to getting...

I like it a lot, actually. The problem with the Jimmy logo was always that the perspective was warped. I think of this as a dolphin swimming with...

Maybe you missed it, but Swope ran a 4.34 at the Combine. Nothing is in his highlights to suggest he's another short, slow white guy.

Funny thing is that the original rules for the professional passing game dictated passing to set up the run. And this was back in the 40s when the...

They have four draft picks...

It certainly won't be. Professional teams have had problems with fan submitted designs and besides that Nike has a very competent design staff.

Who are we going to take? Not a corner, not with how bad the first round prospects are to a man (I mad a funny, heh) at zone coverage. Not a...

That's probably not it, guys. The team is on record as saying we were reverting back to the colors were during the Shula years.

Did you not see the out he ran against Cromartie? Any time a 4th WR (well, he's a fourth here) can make a very good starting CB looking stupid on...

If the Phins are regularly going to run 4-wide, then you need six. In that area, if no other, I think Philbin will copy Green Bay. I don't imagine...

Nah, Gadsden was open no matter how many guys were covering him like a blanket. Ty Law had the right of it.

Three things stick out to me about Gibson: 1) He's an excellent route runner. I don't know what the hell Bradford was doing throwing the comeback...

Philly ran a West Coast offense predicated on big plays deep. YAC-centric WCO is what happens when you have relatively slow, stocky receivers.

Gibson is our 4th receiver. Why anybody is dogging thing signing, I don't know.

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner.

That's not the the new logo, guys. That's what happens when you're doing something in Photoshop really late at night and you forget to make sure...

I voted for Austin for two very simple reasons. One, unlike Patterson, he doesn't go backwards in an effort to make a big play; that drives me...

Yes and no. I figure if a team can sweep New England, they can beat anybody. As for the initiative bit, I have only this to say: Surprise, Speed,...

Yeah, we spent a lot of money, but we did something the Bills, Eagles, and Redskins didn't. We signed guys who upgraded our team, fit needs that...

Actually, it's the Cowboys that were moved to the South. And to be frank, I'm tired of Miami being associated with the douchebags in NY and NE.

The biggest thing was re-aligning based on geographic location. The league adjusted during the last round of expansions and re-alignments. Also, I...

Long isn't necessarily gone. We didn't want to pay the 12+ million a year he was asking for, so we let him shop himself. Given that they don't...

Nah, Welker is just a Master 1st Class at running routes. Plus, the Patriots ask Welker to get downfield a lot more than the Phins ask Bess to.

They were aggressive with their picks last year and they're paying for it now. Of course, being Homo inferioris bostonensis, Patriots fans are...

Call me crazy, but I think we end up drafting Austin or Swope depending on how the board falls out. I love Bess, don't get me wrong, but we have...

No, the book on him is he's bad at diagnosing plays from the zone. He's also not very aggressive at run support, although to my eye he plays...

You keep saying this, but I can't find a link to your forum.

Okay, we know that before the opening of free agency the Phins had 31 million. By cutting Dansby (3.9 million) and Burnett (3.2 million), the...

Dude, tight ends as inline blockers are a thing of the past. You can't run Philbin's offense to its max if your TE isn't a constant threat to...

He was an inside linebacker for he Ravens, but he could easily be a Sam or Will. He certainly has the athleticism for it.

Yes. He was a product of South Carolina's pass first offense, so you can guarantee he knows how to get open. I don't expect even with 100% effort...

You know, that makes me wonder if it isn't a confidence issue. It's not like he doesn't have an arm, there aren't too many QBs who can throw a far...

That was incredibly dumbed down. No team runs four basic formations and certainly no team coached by Philbin, who is apparently a formations geek.

The Fins need to develop a "special relationship" with at least one school in every conference in Div I, II, and III. Not only from a pure talent...

Philbin doesn't think we need a #1. Especially the sort of #1 who gets that appellation by being an early draft pick. Jordy Nelson (who I love,...

The thing about Philbin's offensive system is that there are tons of formation and personnel sets. As a general rule you need two more players on...

This was a really talent poor draft for safeties. And who says Miller wasn't BPA on the Fins board and Ireland had information that suggested a...

There's not an option for "No, I never doubted his ability in the first place". So, I'm recording it here.

No we're not. They're The Enemy. We should collectively rip off their heads, **** down their necks, and then laugh in glee about it. Sportsmanship...

I very much want to see a Boise State/TCU national championship. If they're the only two undefeated teams, the BCS will have no choice.

Being a K-State fan, I really want to see the Phins draft Daniel Thomas. He's big at 6'2" and 228lbs, plus he just popped off a 200 yard game...

He's suggesting he would very much like Moss to be our #2. So would I, for that matter. As Deion Sanders would say, pay the man.

Pray tell, what value was that? He was the 4th most talented receiver on this team, with no upside and no special teams value. He was never going...

I think judgement has to be withheld on Crowder until this season is done. The biggest reason for that is because I believe the defenses he's...

Obviously Dansby was signed to be the coverage and big play guy, while Crowder will be the banger going after running backs and blitzing. That's...

I'm not so worried about this with Dobbins signed, but once again our MLB depth is stretched thin. Also, I'm only seeing this on the newswire via...

This idea that $7.4 million per season for Antrel Rolle is overspending is patently ridiculous. Remember, each season spending for players goes up...

To pull that off would take a ridiculous 3D multi-axis dot graph. It would be a fun project, though.

I wouldn't say Hilliard was lesser to Cobbs at this point. Not many running backs can gain 18 yards on a draw plays with a pure power run. Cobbs...

They did bounce once they realized there was still an issue. But by then, it was too late for them to do anything about it. **** happens, don't...

ALL nose tackles are two down players when they're at that position. You get guys like Wilfork and Ngata who can bounce outside to DE when it's...

No offense, but this right here tells me you have zero idea what a 3-4 NT is supposed to do. His job isn't to stop the run, it's to take up the...

Vontae Davis got burned a bit, but he had huge hits and made excellent plays on the ball when it counted. It's fairly telling that in his rookie...

Now, this is what I'm going to disagree with. I don't recall exactly what game it was, but there was this one play where he was over the top of a...

Yeah, the Fins aren't saying **** about the safety position. Salguero is, or has everybody forgotten that this entire thread is based on...

That's bull****, too. I should think it would be obviously so, since if most draft picks didn't pan out nobody would have a team worth fielding....

One of the few games I didn't watch. But it doesn't surprise me, because Houston's passing game is up there with Indi and New Orleans.

No, I don't watch any games but Dolphins game. I fail to see what your point is, though, because they have a good defense and a very good offense.

Sean Smith hasn't panned out, yet. He had serious problems in coverage last season and had no defensive production to counter that. The jury's...

This is absolute rubbish. When you have slot receivers playing as flankers and flankers playing as wide receivers, your offense isn't going to...

He erased Wes Welker and covered Moss really well when he had the opportunity. Frankly, I think he's found his natural position as a nickel back,...

It's an acknowledged problem in the NFL and FO of various teams that agents do take advantage of their clients to get the maximum cash for...

What I was saying is that Crabtree was right, the Raiders should haven taken him over DHB. That said, he was taken where he was taken and he...

I know exactly who his agent is. So you think that just because Crabtree held out, with some justification from his point of view, that we...

There's no guarantee of that. Holdouts come from very high picks, we're drafting in the middle of the round. Besides, not drafting player because...

The Rams won't match a sufficiently large offer. They've publicly stated that he will be ready for off-season workouts, the reason they didn't...

What the **** are you talking about? The kid isn't perfect, but he's no worse than Vontae Davis or Sean Smith were at times. In fact, in the...

None, so far as I know. It's the shoulder thing, I imagine, but I think the FO must take the risk at this point. This draft MUST be dedicated to...

You left out Atogwe just because he's an RFA? Why? He has no draft pick compensation associated with him. The only obstacle would be that the Rams...

Does anybody actually know if he has immaturity issues? All we have on that front is hearsay. As for Parcells, two things: 1) He doesn't run...

We don't have to hope Bryant falls to us. It'd be the best case scenario, but in the end there are a ton of big and decently fast guys who can...

Clark re-signed with the Steelers, so there's no reason to not go after Atogwe at this point. If we can't get him, so be it, but I believe the FO...

I can tell you why, he had a shoulder injury and the Rams don't want to pay him even though they know he'll be ready for off-season activities...

You honestly think they'd play Porter at SOLB? And in answer to your question, yes they are. Why, I don't know, because they really don't have...

I don't think that's how you go about it at all. Maybe entice the Chiefs to pick up the RFA tender on Fasano, trade Ginn to the Raiders for a...

They're not going to go after a FA receiver, they're are none available that are better than anything we have. It's entirely conceivable we can...

I'm with BigDog on this. Also, having something of a background in web design, I can only say that aesthetics plays a big part in peoples'...

Did you check the Dolphins website, by any chance?

Eh? Culver is a strong safety. Bryant doesn't address the need for a #1, which at present is our only need a receiver.

Atogwe also suffered a shoulder injury that shortened his season by four games. As for why it's a discount, it's simply because the last big FS...

Do we really want another Chris Chambers? Really?

The guy is just speculating and it comes across as rather drunken.

And? The kid's worth it. A team can't let money get in the way of acquiring top shelf talent, especially in an uncapped year. Paying him $8...

Pat White wasn't brought in to compete with Henne, he was brought in to do a job that Henne couldn't do. Nobody is going to argue that he needs to...

Never said it was, in an ideal situation you have all-pros at every linebacker spot and can get really crazy. But look at what was done with...

But we both know that's not gonna happen. I've heard Sharper is giving NO first right of refusal and is apparently genuine about it, as opposed to...

I'm sure Nolan is aware of that and will scheme around Crowder's weaknesses. If Finheaven were up right now, I'd link you to ckparrothead's...

He was serviceable. Ferguson is unquestionably better, but Soliai is very young for somebody at his position (10 years younger than the standard...

What's to disagree with? The two ILB positions in a 3-4 are fundamentally different because they basically split the responsibilities of a 4-3...

What he did in Arizona is independent of what he'll do in Miami. Crowder has always been the banger, while Ayodele's proported job was to assist...

Sharper would be ideal, but New Orleans would answer any offer with Ed Reed money (which in 2010 dollars is 9+ million a year). The FO needs to...

And Joyner misses the point. Miami runs a 3-4, not a 4-3. Stopping the run is going to be Crowder's job and when Nolan lets the leash off him he's...

PFF's metrics are questionable. They're good for a lark, but don't take them seriously. As for his coverage ability, he's on a defense where he's...

For Atogwe? Yeah, I would. That's like asking if I'd give Ed Reed a crapload of money if he was dinged up.

It doesn't matter, this isn't a trade. All indications are that he'll be ready by training camp.

29 PD, 19 Int, 14 FF, and 3 sacks in five seasons. Those are Atogwe's stats. Now tell me you prefer Clark.

I'd offer more money to Atogwe. He's dinged up a lot, sure, but so are a lot of Rams and that's just an indication of inferior Strength &...

Who says anything about throwing him away? Nnamdi Asomugha was on the bench for three year before he started. Same type of player, man. I'm just...

Unless it's the Dolphins, because he wants to play in Miami.

The problem is stiff hips isn't something you work on, it's part of a person's innate athleticism. He has to find ways to compensate for that and...

Sean Smith needs to sit down and study for a season, because his stiff hips cost the team a lot of yards. Unless you're prepared to constantly...

A great receiver will rack up 1,000 yard seasons no matter who his QB is. Witness Brandon Marshall.

Smith isn't better than Will Allen. Sorry, but he's just not.

People need to understand Antonio Bryant is a flop. The Bucs, who desperately need WR help, not only didn't offer him anything but publicly stated...

Dunno about Rolle anymore. Sharper's available (I had forgotten about that) and we can pick up Atogwe for a song and dance if we play our cards...

Will Allen, if he's healthy, is going to end up relegating Sean Smith to backup. Jason Allen is likely our new nickel, given the job he did in...

I don't understand why he'd be a "fallback option". He was the best FS last year, even including Ed Reed.

Are there QB who can do what Pat does? Remember he's not a conventional QB by any measure.

Whatever the FO thinks the Rams won't match if they throw in a poison pill. Something in the 8-10 mill a year over five or six years, I think.

This is what I've been saying for a while.

No, not really. I was just playing along.

Um, I'm a guy?...

Erm... Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm straight.

You don't like Atogwe? Why the hell not?

I wasn't using it as a definitive cite, I just said it made more sense. If the $14 million thing had been true, it would've been all over ever...

I fail to see the humor. I've cited no sources at all, so he's basically called me a hypocrite with no basis.

What the hell are you talking about?

That's his position on the depth chart as of last season, but he's also a very good hitter. It could be that, if Bell is cut, they just move...

And the internet is an infallible source of information, right? It's been pointed out above that it was likely a typo. The only way Bell is cut is...

Dunno if I believe that. Bleacher is basically open source reporting and the quality of the articles isn't checked.

Say what? Where do you get this idea from?

It's a mistake, I think. Or at least the Dolphins should be talking to Atogwe as well. EDIT: That said, if it's between us and the Giants, we've...

It is a slap in the face, no doubt. Sign the guy to Gibril Wilson money, the Rams will never match it with having to pay another high draft pick...

You have to remember the Parcels tradition. However well regarded Ronnie is by the FO, he is still interchangeable with any back. From what I've...

I think the FO isn't so confident as you guys are that there'll be no takers. Some team just might be desperate enough that a single first rounder...

That's NOT what was said. He said he doesn't believe in buying championships, which doesn't really work anyway. He believes in brains. A first for...

Found another one and I really like it. [img] [img] [img]

This was done is a Nike Pro Combat re-boot for the NFL. Beyond the obvious shoulder logo lapse, I kinda like it. It'd never happen, though,...

Then explain David Martin. Fact is, we sorely missed having a pass receiving TE in 2009 and we need another. From what I'm hearing, the Fins are...

Why should BP care about the Manning family? Screw them, the Colts are the enemy.

Honestly, I think more than anything we need a real SOLB. Our D's biggest problem was that when pressure came at all, it was from the weak side....

We need a Jack, not a Will. Brandon Graham would not only give us a Jack that can stop the run every down, but he'd provide a pass rush from the...

What I'm most stoked about is that the Jets and Patriots can't go after the players we'd target. Unless, of course, the Pats let Wilfork go and...

He keeps this **** up and he's going to be lucky to walk out of Joe Robbie with an intact team next year. Hell, he's going to be lucky to walk out...

Just picked this guy up for the Fins in a GM mock draft on a fantasy football forum. I was specifically looking for a guy who's big enough to play...

That's because USA Today lacks regional bias and/or an agenda.

Man, that four wide formation with a twin bunch in the slot was strange. Some great times, though.

This is going to turn political real quick.

Actually, there was a technique error on that play, but I don't think it was necessarily his fault. Instead of staying in Aiken's hip pocket once...

Nope. But it's an accurate one.

Read that. Also read he keeps bouncing outside rather than trying to actually run the power play. That's going to doom your D against Miami's...

The Patriots passing game is basically a modified Run n Shoot. I don't believe any of our offensive guys have experience with that system, but...

On the one hand, that's a good thing. On the other, you do want that sixth sense.

We're running Quarters, not Man Under. The underneath is given up to completely blanket the downfield.

We don't gain anything by screwing around with the line unless it's by design. Honestly, I would go a step further and put Garner in Fasano's spot...

Actually, Quarters merely a coverage shell. Clemson rolls with a four man front, so what Clemons has to watch for is going to be just slightly...

Dude still has a pot belly, but he's Polynesian so I guess that's expected. Jacked to hear he finally has his head on straight.

On the Sporslogo forums, from a guy who has access to official NFL style guides almost as soon as they come out because of the work he does....

The orange jerseys are coming back this year for at least one game, maybe the max of two given that we are guaranteed four primetime games.

Says people who have access to the style guides months before John Q. Public ever hears about uni changes. The orange jerseys haven't been a part...

You'll be upset to know they're making a comeback.

The ol' Shoot is an extreme example of a spread-to-pass offense. It involves motions and complex option routes. The philosophy basically boils...

Sucker bet. They screwed him on awareness, which makes no sense given the offense he came out of.

No. But I still like the pick.

****ing nice!

Do. Not. Want.

Just shoot me. I did NOT want that prima donna prick on my beloved Fins.

It's not a problem. I love grilling and I love sharing recipes and techniques since I don't do competitions.

04/15/09 - The Dolphins have shown interest in Hawaii's David Veikune, a potential third-rounder with 16 sacks the past two years. Miami invited...

I think Pettigrew is far more likely. Next year we might trade up to take Dez Bryant, but only if our team is relatively settled and we just need...

David Veikune out of Hawaii seems like somebody Parcells knocked out of his OLB mold. I also like Jamarko Simmons from Western Michigan as our big...

Really depends on your tastes. Obviously a KC style BBQ sauce is where it's at, but there are a lot of variations of that base to try. Mine is...

I think you miss my point entirely. I'll agree that he has good footwork and seems to have a knack for finding the ball in the air. But that's not...

:no: This thread just took a trip down the gutter. I blame DOLFANMIKE. :wink2:

So all those underthrown fades and bad passes deep that he picked was work? Please, I could've made those picks. What's worse is the cat is...

Really? I've never seen it. Never seen anything about the cat's game that convinces me he can be an NFL cornerback. Let's be real, he lucked into...

C'mon, coach, gameplan and execute! Wear her out so thoroughly that she is happy all weekend and will let you do what you want.

Actually they didn't manage even that. Andre Smith is the likely selection for Buff's 1a and they'll have to pay him six or seven mill a year...

Not from that, maybe, but from his game. The guy just doesn't explode, there's no other way to put it. If we're going to burn our first on a pick,...

He has nothing to do with the design and coding process, he just licenses his name. That said, I think you'll like the game this year.

There's a natural remedy for that. It's called cranberry juice, lots of it. Face it, the dude is just plain stupid.

The Titans are looking for a weapons at WR. One of those guys will be selected and my hunch is Nicks. His build and speed are typical of the WR...

Really? Then why is that the common opinion of UNC fans? Nobody was paying attention to Nicks until Tate went down. Nicks was the #2 guy period...

Wait, are you serious? That's absolutely ridiculous and a complete waste of our draft picks. I can see Nicks/Tate at 89/108, but not that early....

Nonsense. Nicks didn't even step up until he had to when Tate went down. Before Tate went down he was lighting the world up and there was serious...

I don't want Nicks at all. I think Tate is just a physical, just as talented, has hands that are just as good, and is far faster. If we draft on...

Honestly, if we're going to start running quarters then the thing to do would be to draft Hamlin in the third or fourth. Draft Rolle next year to...

Would rather have Myron Rolle. ---------------- Now playing: Explosions In The Sky - Lonely Train via FoxyTunes

The thing a lot of people seem to forget is that only the government is bound by the Constitution. Organizations and private individuals are not....

Nope, but trespassing is. My guess is that they left out the part where they were asked to leave and refused.

It doesn't seem to be all that hard, really. All the difficulty is with the safeties, who have the major read responsibilities. The corners just...
