Agreed. MANY posts on SFL but, the one against is stopped. Even funnier is one of this forum's founders posting on it. Sorry, just don't get it.
I have a problem with anyone telling me what I can say when it is within the guidelines of acceptable behavior. In this particular instance,...
The "Screw The SFL" thread has been stopped. I completely disagree. This is a "Football Forum" and, as such, there will be disputes as well as...
This forum has very knowledgeable posters, many who are better than most of the media. No one here is going to be blinded to our needs. However,...
Disagree. It was a horrible game, and Moore was very far from good. I just enjoy cheering for our team. winning, and don't care much about...
Never left.
This was one of the ugliest games I've seen. I still loved cheering for my team to win, and them doing so was great, as opposed to the woulda,...
Fasano on the block.
UPDATE!!! Our TE's can catch the frackin ball.
NEWS FLASH!!! Our TE's can catch the frackin ball.
TWO INT'S IN ONE GAME? Will wonders ever cease? :)
This is a really ugly game.
Fist pumps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was very surprised to see how well Mastrud graded out in blocking this year, #$ in run block. For me, I would prefer Gates to Columbo.
Had to go on a beer run but Moore looked hurt. If so, the right move.
Garner has played well, Jerry, anybody.
What does Columbo have on Sparano?
Great Clay block
Slaton and Carrolll are both out.
That VD tackle was picture perfect.
Looks like we're gonna have some fun today. I likes it.
How was Luck different before the past few weeks?
I expect VD to have a great game. He owes us one, and then some.
Festus chimes in- Well thar Matthew, we gotta go out thar and kick some ***. :) * Old western TV show called Gun Smoke reference. :)
Phins begin their "Wild West" tour with Indians, followed by Buffalo Bill, and then the Cowboys. Some of the cavalry showed up last week, the...
Gotcha, not what you say, but how you say it. :)
To be fair BD, neither is Luck or Barkley. Where is the line drawn?
Will there be a late promotion for another Gator Day? LOL Why was this moved? Opposing QB for today's game? Hard to understand.
I'll take that bet Padre. How much? :)
I would still love to have Luck as a Dolphin. Just, after seeing more than highlights, not as much as before. Did I see the same QB he was the...
Clay has only played 87 snaps at TE (28 at FB). He has been thrown at 6 times with 4 catches for 66 yards, and does have 1 drop. He grades out...
I have only seen the last two games Luck played, and was not overly impressed. I'm far from an expert but, have not seen the sure fire greatness...
Where is Clemmons?
VG points. I chose to grade positions over players because, as you say, it is a team game. The OL is a great example. If they do not...
I think we all pretty much agree on the OL, S, CB, and ST's. Our differences in grading are QB, RB, DL, and LB. It's very tuff to grade these...
Well done Odin. I disagree with some but, do not now have the time to do so. Back to you later, during Happy Hour. :)
I graded players play on O, D and ST based on what I saw. Feel free to disagree on any of my grades.
Strangely enough, the OL is now playing to a C level, and Culver has not been bad. Still have to consider the horrible play to start the season.
So, Columbo was the same as Pouncey? Jones was the same as Wake? C'mon Man. :0
Grading this team is difficult. I think I graded the players fairly, considering all the good and bad. How would your grades differ?
Great point, and agreed. I would go a step further than the NFL Ticket by offering individual games for let's say $20. In today's economy, there...
I could not go to this game, and have to thank Ross, FOX, and other sponsers in making it available on TV. Does anyone think it fair that teams...
After a horrible start, players are playing much better over the past few weeks. Too little, too late. With many what if's we are still 1-7. To...
HAPPY VETERANS DAY to all of our military past and present, and my sincerest thanks for all you have done, are doing, and will do. You guys and...
I could see that happening. QB's are at a premium, and the new rookie wage scale makes the affordable. IMO, Tannehill is going to take time to...
We had a couple of shots at QB. We took DC over Brees, which was a medical decision. Who here would have taken Brees when world renown doctors...
At this point, Weeden, Tannehill, and RGII are not even projected as first round picks. Although that could change, I see us doing something at...
Not sure what it would take PP, just throwing a few names out there. Indy does need help on the OL, and just about everywhere on their D.
The reads would be up to coaching. I believe that Jones is a better fit for Indy than Barkley. I do not see Weeden,Tannehill, or RGIII entering...
This is not gonna make me a very popular poster. However, Sparano was under Tuna's blueprint for his first three seasons. This year, he has...
IF the same coaches stay, and IF Peyton is kept, I have to think they would want a QB, along the same guidelines, to be somewhat groomed by...
Shula's adaptability to Marino was fascinating. Here we have a HOF coach, with considerations of the "Greatest Of All Time" changing his entire...
What if Indy likes Jones more? Peyton has been known to be in the shotgun a bit.
I know you qualified your comment by where we pick but, three #1 picks in addition to two good young players is extreme. JMO. IF we can offer a...
VG question. I do not claim to be a draft guru but, believe Luck is more of a "sure thing" than the others, and would at least test the waters on...
I'm wondering what the new breed of player has to do with the re-tread coaches. I look at Tuna and Shanahan doing little, and question if former...
I guess you could say that Jay and Penny were the "best" QB's we had in the last 11 years, and we were in the playoffs with them. This leads me...
That was the game when fans started calling for Wanny to be fired.
10 failures to one success in coordinators to head coaches?
I don't know how much that really matters CK. If you look at Pitt, Balt, SF, and TB, they have not been changed to an explosive O with the first...
Don Shula does not belong on this thread, and JJ had Marino, although on his downside, for most of his four years going to the playoffs (2-3...
Scouts, Inc has him #3 overall, graded just a few points below Luck.
I'm basing that on Luck, Jones, and Barkley being the only three projected to go in the first round. I have not seen any other QB hated that high...
Ross has said that he will do any and everything possible to get a franchise type QB this coming off season. I think that would limit the Phins...
I have to think Ross will go with a name HC if at all possible. The article does make a good point in naming Balt, SF, Pitt, TB, Atlanta, and...

Look forward to your report after the game. ENJOY!!!
If ya have to look it up, I understand. JK/LOL.
What does constitute QB talent?
How would you grade the QB's, aside from Luck, mostly Jones vs Barkley?
No assumptions here JW. As stated, I believe that someone who has played sport would help in this discussion. In my experience, I saw players...
Yeah but how do you really feel CK? JK/LOL Great rundown.
I agree with almost all ZOD. The 4000-5000 block of Collins is almost all over-aged condo commando's, and should be avoided. I would be looking...
I'm not stating anything of the kind. I am stating that some players require more guidance and supervision than others, which is the same in any...
And now?
You make a fair point JW. However, anyone who has ever played sports, of any kind, at any level, will tell you that there are some players who...
A little confidence, and getting King Kong off your back, can work wonders for a team with talent. I can see us beating the Redskins and Bills...
Disagree. I love sarcasm, use it often, and appreciate anyone else doing the same. IF sarcasm was the intent here, it failed to the enth degree,...
Many, myself included, had our Dolphins winning around 10 games. I sincerely believe that the lockout hurt us more than most but, it just doesn't...
I could easily see Luck, Jones, and Barkley going 1, 2, 3 by pick or trade. As to our Phins as I have posted, in no particular order there is...
Here's a crazy question Raf. You mention a franchise QB, FS, and RT bringing us to SB contention. IF Indy decides to trade a healthy Peyton, as...

Yes he was, he is out for the year, and his recovery is 4 to 6 months. I would also like to bring Henne back. IMO, he is the best available vet...
Chances are that the top 5 picks will come from these 8 teams with 2 or fewer wins. Aside from almost half the season left to see who ends up...
In addition to the next three weeks, Indy also has Tenn and again @ Jax. They do have some talent, their QB could have a couple of VG games, they...
I've been saying for weeks that I think a 2 win team has a fair to good shot at getting the #1 pick. Miami won a game, and could very well win #2...
He and Dansby seem to be meshing together.
I could not be happier for Jake, and he was a very big reason Moore was as good as he was,
Misi graded out very high last year vs the run, and pretty well vs the pass. I have to question JT taking so may snaps from him. He's not...
I forgot to give Big Jake some credit. The "injured" SOB owned Hali when they matched up, and Hali is top 3 pass rusher. He must have read our...
Agreed. On a different note, Misi has been somewhat disappointing this year. I thought he would be more of a threat in rushing the QB. JT is...
I did not know Clay was hurt up until a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure you know how tuff it is for rookie to adapt, let alone trying to learn two...
Blocking was the weak link in his game. That was a great block, and I saw another where he completely took out a LB or DE at the LOS. I think...
Ya know, Our D has been playing pretty much the way most here thought they would over the past few weeks, even with VD and Clemons missing. The...
Well, we got one in a row. Two is a very likely possibility. :)
This year we should be called the Dol-IF-ans. I believe that with Henne, we have at least 3 wins, and without the lockout, the team would have...
That post was just wrong Padre, you should know better. It's steel toed TOO. :)
Sad, very sad. However, trying to be respectful to a "fellow Phins fan," could you move your misery to a different thread? It has no place here.
I'm not gonna read the rest of this thread, too busy having a great time and celebrating. However, with his 3 TDs today, Moore has 4 in 5 games....
Could not agree more BD. I'm feeling like we just won a playoff game.
Had to go on a beer run, Big Surprise LOL, in my Phins jersey and cap. Had people blowing their horns with thumbs up, and a few high fives at the...

Anyone else notice Bush coming from being split out to cross in front of Moore like what Ricky used to do in the Wild Cat?
On his TV show Sparano said that Clay has finally been healthy the last few weeks, and that he would be worked more int the O. Heck of a half...
[IMG] Honestly Vontae and many other on this roster should want to rip Marshall's head off, the guy has no heart when he plays and for...
Would it be that hard to just type great punt, and move on?
We shall see. Contract extensions were not close with any of them, and I'm not sure on their teams using the franchise tag.
Disagree Aqua. Being one of the top paid WRs in football, he isn't performing to that level at all is very accurate.
Vincent Jackson, D Bowe, DeSean Jackson, and Mike Wallace are all potential FAs after this season. I would take any of them over Marshall. IF we...
Jones is rated the #3 player in the entire draft, and some like Barkley more. How is that a reach?
Yeah, he also is #5 in being thrown at, #1 in drops (dropped TDs should count more than 1), and grades out as the #48 overall WR in the NFL, as...
In no particular order, there is death, taxes, and Miami taking a QB in the first round of the next draft.
Completely agree. There are more than enough Phins problems, which are real, to make things up. I've been seeing a lot of that, and cannot...
You, and others, may be right here but, I do not see a snowballs chance in hell that Ross will allow "whoever" to take a 28 year old QB with the...
Where do you get the "being in shape" as the issue when no one has any idea what it was? Did you make this up or, have inside info?
Why would anyone want to learn how to finance a bus? What kind of courses are you taking? :)
This is confusing Padre. Game thread on game day, and even the right time. :)
I did think we would win as well. I saw us shutting down the run, and VD back healthy limiting the pass. Now it looks less likely. I am going...
I can't make up my mind, which prompted this thread. They are both very close, a little concern on Barkley's height at 6'2" but, he has mobility,...
Howzabout instead of SFL we go to HOW-High On Weed'n? :)

I would not go back that far D1. JJ was was 2-3 in 3 of 4 playoff years. Wanny followed with 1-2 in 2 playoff years. Then in 2002 we blew an 11...
IF Luck, Jones, and Barkley enter the draft (not a sure thing), and IF we do not get Luck, who is everyone's second choice?
I would think that in football it's more like doing the same thing over and over again until you get it right.
He is a guy from the political Bush family. He may not be real but that never stopped the others, by the same name, from being elected. LOL
Wake deserves to go. He's ranked #4 of all 3-4 LB's with 5 sacks, 10 hits, and 21 pressures, in spite of being "The Lone Ranger" in rushing the...
Have to disagree, cdz. A closer look at your criticisms. Ground and pound- Tuna's blueprint for this team, not Tony's. Failure to put personnel...
Hard to believe that I am watching Andrew Luck for the first time this year, and that he looks far from good, let alone great.
Although I do agree, I don't think he will be staying in Miami next year. :)
Good point, and agreed.
Exception or rule?
I don't know vt. If Weeden were a little older than the norm, like 25, it would not bother me because I do like his talent. I know QB's are...
Anyone see or hear anything on Luck, Jones, and Barkley staying in school? All three are Juniors, and I'm wondering if at least one may wait a...
In 1999, Jim Miller became the first QB in NFL history to be suspended for substance abuse. I believe he revisited this substance abuse, and then...
I knew Weeden was older because of his trying to play baseball. Had no idea, until now, that he is 28. That makes a big difference.
I don't think anyone believes Phans should feel sorry for Sparano, other than what Ross did. Coaches deserve a lot of criticism for a number of...
I have not seen anywhere near the amount of college ball I'm used to KB. I'm surprised that Weeden was left out of the top 32 by Scouts. What...
Agreed. Just look around the league this year. Vick, Rivers, Ryan, Flacco, Freeman, Sanchez, and Bradford not playing as they did last season,...
Scouts Inc have Luck #1 with a 99 grade. Jones at #3 with a 96 grade, and Barkley at #18 with a 92 grade. They are the only three they list in...
We all know that Miami will be taking a QB in the first round, although we don't know who or when that will be. There has been more info on Luck...
No question on the criticism coming. The question is if the criticism has gone beyond justifiable? I think Sparano has been better than Cam or...

Good post. "The Phickle Phinger" with a silver lining. We shall see.
Our base O, with Soliai now playing, shuts down the run as well as almost anyone. If VD and Smith can limit Bowe, I give us a very fair shot at...
Do you think the Colts have a better team, without Peyton, than what the Phins now have?
I believe we have more talent than KC up and down the roster. Where do you give the Chiefs the nod?
My mistake in how it was worded. Thanks for the correction. Sometime tuff to post and work.
As we did with DC over Brees. Making bad luck is the same as making good luck.
The betting line on Sunday's Phins- Chiefs game has gone from KC being favored by 5.5 points to 5 points, to 4.5 points, to the current line of 4...

No way I can dispute Marshall's talent. I would prefer a #1 who is more consistent, gets the same yards with fewer catches, more of a team guy,...

First off, we have a number of FA in Soliai, Langford, Merling, Henne, Carey, Columbo, JT, W Allen, and Slaton, Then we have some money issues...

What is the difference between Miami and this site? Loaded question. :)
Marshall is the only WR Moore seems to see. A new M&M, where footballs melt in your hands, while being candy coated.

I'm pretty sure that whoever we sign will just be for the remainder of the year.
I'n with CT on giving Gates and Clay more snaps. We are going to need 2 guys on ST's. Did Pruitt play there?
Wouldn't head to head come in at #4? I "think" it does.
Sorry Mom, but PFF has Pouncey down for 2 sacks allowed. Guess you're paying for the wrong ones, and not all.
Let me resolve that for ya BD. No matter how you root/cheer, it means absolutely, positively, beyond any shadow of any doubt, NOTHING. Our...
I believe that, among the 9 "contenders," Miami has the best overall talent on their roster, and better than some who are not in the race.
Chances are that Tambla Hali will be lining up vs Jake on many plays. We all may want to keep an eye on that match up to see how Long does. The...
Thanks my friend, I learned something, and that is always a good thing. However, I am still not getting into the SOS just yet. I leave that to you.
I'm thinking the same. IF healthy, he needs the experience. Pouncey has hit a big bump in the road, and is being over-powered of late. He needs...
Agreed. With a good-VG QB, the existing talent, and a TON of cap space, our team could easily turn around within 2 years.
Gotta subtract the team being played twice in the division BD.
I thought the same of A J Feeley MB. Yet, he beat a Drew Brees led team. Go figure.
I have not yet gotten into SOS. The 13 teams we play still have 8 or more games to play. That's at least 104 more games to consider for us...
I'm thinking along the same lines. I stop short of picking our Dolphins because of the emotion the KC fans bring to the stadium, and there is...
And what of Marshall dropping 5 TD's? Is he secretly in on a fix with Ross? On second thought, never mind. Ross would have leaked it to the...
He WILL NOT do it himself. Hell, he's getting paid $11M this year, the same next year, and then ready for another $50M+ contract, and yet he plays.
I would go a step further and say it has been the worst ever. Goodel better be careful on what he wishes for. We're approaching a middle ground...

https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/10/31/re-focused-dolphins-giants-week-8/ Here's a good read from PFF on the team, Bush, Wake, and Fasano.
Agree, but that would work a whole lot better with a healthy Thomas.
Yeah, you would think so. That doesn't seem to be helping Langford or Soliai (until recently) either.
He is also a FA after this year.
In a little over 3 games with Henne, Hartline had 13 catches, 200 yards, and 0 drops. In almost 4 games with Moore, he has 5 catches for 56...

Hard to disagree. Still can't believe we did not go after one in FA. Bell is likely gone, and no one else has shown much.
Sunday is looking worse for the Phins. Davis out, Carroll starting, Cog is doubtful, and Columbo is hurting. Would not surprise me to see Losman...
FWIW, Murtha looked pretty good in pre-season. I can't say that he's the answer but is worth some consideration. I think it appears to be our...

In all due respect, I do not see the OP's being close to "almost the same thing" other than the weak schedule and replacing the coaches.

It's all premature speculation at this point GH, although from very credible sources. We have an advantage in good young players, who are not...
The thinking is that IF they get the #1 pick, and IF they trade it, they would want players over picks in addition to a top pick.
Don't know. His comment was on Mike & Mike for discussion, although he does know Peyton. Mort chimed in by saying that Peyton could even ask for...

Agreed, Burnett did finally show something, and played pretty well.
Thanks Padre, should have included Bush. Still trying to get over one hell of a hangover from last night/this morning.
Good one. Also LMAO on your new "film."
For new posters, this is a thread I started putting up last year. It's intent is for nothing but Dolphins Good News, the silver linings...
It appear he does not have the footwork to do "The Monster Marsh." :)
I need to watch the replay. Live, it looked to me that Marshall was running an out with Moore throwing to a spot. After getting tied up with...
I'm wondering if we may see a bit of Wild Cat with DT.
We get to watch "The Monster Marsh" maybe get thrown out, Holmes and the OL maybe get into it, and Gruden explain his extension. All this with a...
Sounds like a case of Madd Matt disease.
I'm more inclined to think that maybe some coaches want nothing to do with Ross. Can't say I would blame them.
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. IMO, anyone taking a negative shot at anyone's Mom should be banned for life. It is as...
We had the bubble last year, and almost each and every player played better than this year. Sorry to pop your bubble on this but, it did not matter.
Coaches, former coaches, players, former players, and analysts have all said differently during the lockout, and after it. Teams not making...
Cowher or Gruden will be our next HC next year, unless both do not want to coach for Ross. Ross wants a celeb HC, those are the only two...
Dolphins have had a great national following, although diminishing the past few years. The Jets rivalry is hated and heated. That makes for good...

Overall from PFF
How is promoting a DC, who has the worst rated D in the NFL, any better? IF we had a coach who had a shot at the job next year, I would agree...
Once a day for camp, once a week during the season.
"I know it's the same for everyone but, everyone is not the same." This is what I posted if you had read the OP. :)
We did have the lockout workouts led by Long and Henne. Don't know who was there or if they did anything in pads DJ. I can't put this on the...
Pouncey has played very well on the run and screen block. Not so in pass protect, which is true of everyone. I agree with you on the D Padre....
Cower said we're going to be in for a long night, and does not like Matt Moore. When he was commenting on Marshall getting thrown out in the 2nd...

NOT a nice thing to post. FRACKIN NUTS would be a more accurate description, and more viewer friendly. :)
Hard to imagine it will be any uglier than a pooch screwing a toy. It was very funny the first time. Then became increasingly boring, time after...
I never played football, just hoops. My feelings are that our players have had some time to look in the mirror during the bye, and did not like...
I think most QB's are overrated DJ. Many from last year were VG but, this year no so. There are very few who are consistently VG-great.
To get back on topic, our acquisitions have not been all that good but, the picks have been. The idea of finding a play making gem in FA or trade...
Electrolyte, I would hope that you, and/or the forum do not take this as a personal attack, as it is NOT my intent. However, your forum name...
I've heard some rumblings about Marshall being available. However, with Lloys being out there for a 4th or 5th, and Wayne as well, I see nothing...
1. Give me something better to talk about. I would welcome it. :) 2. The bad FA pickups and trades are league wide, not just in Miami.
When you drop 3-4 TD's in 4 games, you are not a top WR. I liked Dez in place of Marshall, not with him. There are few FA's and trades which...
I read on NFL.com that we should consider trading for Orton, and we should also trade JT to Houston. I can see the thinking on JT but, have no...
I think we get our first win here. The team is healthy, coming off a bye, and I see players playing as they are able to. Miami- 24 Jets- 13
I read an article in the Sun on Reggie Bush being ranked #1-hundred and eleventh of all RB's in the NFL, although some with limited playing time,...
IMO, this is the best thing Marshall has done for this team since he got here. Perhaps our best player is coming out with reckless abandon, and...
I'm not a "Doom & Gloom" Phan for the talent on this team. On O, we are gonna have to sign, re-sign, and draft a QB. We need a 2nd TE, and Clay...
For me, the oven could stop working on MNF. As posted before, in 08 we start 2-4, and make the playoffs. In 09, we start 2-4, get to 7-6, and...
I recall talking to many here during the lockout, and in pre-season We were all excited about our D. We all thought it would be VG to GREAT this...
I cannot dispute anything you have said, other than no one had any idea Penny would play so well. Funny thing is I got the same worker on a...
I could see the SFL syndrome entering into this season but, after 12 games or so. Not now, as I was taught, with losing $100 on top of it.
Strange things do happen Padre. Back in 2008, we were coming off a 1-15 season. We SUCKED and had questionable, at best, talent. We brought in...
I'm with ya Padre. We're gonna give Rex Ryan a "foot" to his nuts, and then nail "Tiny Tim & His Pony Show." After that "Eli's Coming" and going...
I'm with ya here MB. For this team, I like Henne the best of the bunch. We have to get a QB in the 1st round or, wait for another Brees to...
I don't know that he would. I can't imagine he would if we get Lucky. Otherwise, I believe he would take his chances with a team he knows. JMO.
Moore is signed for next year. Josh Johnson is interesting. I've heard a lot of good things on him.
I'm thinking that IF we get "Lucky" we keep Moore. IF it's Jones or Barkley, I'm not quite as confident, and would re-sign Henne.
He is not, which is why I added "Who knows what happens here."
Here's a look at the QB's scheduled to become FA's after this season. No one has any idea if we will end up with a shot at Luck, or even Jones,...
I wish you ALL THE BEST.
Most of this forum has given up on our team after 4 games, and that is everyone's choice. It is very hard to see anything positive. What makes...
And I would buy it for you Pal. Take care, and come home safe.
Jaj, I had a question for you about the spill technique on the PFF coaches thread from last night., when you get a chance
I think we are gonna go up there and KICK THE JETS ***, and LUCK of any kind will have absolutely nothing to do with it.
That's just not right.
CK, Who the hell cares if we beat the hated Jets? If we do, it could have long term catastrophic implications.
I just got official confirmation from ESPN and NFL.com. We are in fact playing the FRAKIN Jets this Monday. Think we should at least try to...
I think I heard that our team is playing the emmer effing Jets this Monday night. I've been busy talking about Tebow, SFL, new coaches, and how...
On our D, the only starters I'm looking to replace are the safeties. Anyone else?
It was sarcasm.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Douglass Tebow is a great person. As a QB, he may be another Bobby Douglas.
If we can beat the Jets, and get a bit of confidence, I see Tebow with a BIG red X on his jersey for our D. They will be hearing and reading...
The only way replacing Sparano during the season makes any sense is IF Ross was hiring next year's coach to replace him. This never happens in...
I have to think that Ross will go for a "Celeb" HC, IF he can. With the team and fan base in the shape they are in, I cannot imagine him going...
That's a good list, and a fair run down, CK. I would add in Langford if we are not going to be able to re-sign him. I'm also wondering how high...
I'm confused here Jaj, and may well be wrong. I thought the spill technique was a DL going to the inside shoulder of his blocker to force a RB...
I believe if you focus on ability, and not position or weight, we will be able to have a pretty fair discussion Jaj.
Problem is we do not have a guy who can do either, in their present positions. There were 4-5 VG FA FS's available, and we did nothing.
Let's do this. Focus on Starks this MNF, I will do the same. and then we will talk.
Agreed, there is no right or reason for Jones to be playing FS. He has to move to SS, and replace Bell. I would like to see W Allen at FS.
They do sometimes happen. like Chambers for a 2nd rounder. This year anything is more than possible.
I think I watched the same games but, did not just look at low lights. We're just gonna have to disagree on this one.
Why go to zone coverage with a new kid (Jones) trying to be the QB in the secondary?
Completely disagree on Starks, and, as I said, Odrick is a maybe. Prototype players do not make plays, regardless of weight. Players do.
I don't see Sheridan and/or Cox as changing what Nolan was doing. Having the worst D in the NFL, after having a good one last year is light years...
I have no idea why you would base a player's weight, on the DL, with production. Starks is at 290 and much better than Trace or Tony in contain...
These are the same players, playing the same positions, as last year. The only thing I will agree with is that they are not playing well.
Good one Padre. LOL
I would hope that we base that on something. Last year Cog was #17 in the NFL of all G's. I agree on the first three games this year but, he...
I've watched Da Bears OL a few times this year. To me, they look like five Columbo's. Now there's a trade we can make and a perfect fit to the...
IF it were Julio, he would be a Phin, and part owner. :)
Why not trade for Orton, and let dueling ponies fight it out on MNF? It would be an event worthy of Ross. LOL
I would keep Cog. He played well last year, and is starting to do so again. I would trade the others, and Da Bears may be a landing spot. Hell;...
You are thinking correctly Matt. Trading Marshall's salary would be difficult at this time (not impossible) but, I can see trading another for a...
I struggle to figure out why we have played so much zone, and why we have moved downward this year. It "should" have been the opposite.
What happened to Nolan being good last year, and bad this year?
I have no idea what Ireland can and/or might do here. ESPN's Clayton thought about an Orton trade but, backed off. SF lost Josh Morgan, and is...
I have to think that IF they go that far, they will include a retractable dome. It only makes sense. Few want to go to or play a game in a...
To be fair DJ, the economy really sucks down here, and the Gov't just put up a BUNCH for the Marlins new stadium. I also don't believe that Ross...
I'm not questioning how badly we have played or that our record is misleading. I'm just remembering watching so many of these players two or...

I've been listening to players and former players comments the past few days. All of them are saying that, because of the lockout, no mini camps...
Thanks for your opinion fins. I do see that this is coming from Gainesville. :)
I did NOT post anything on this before, as I was unaware of it CT. I do appreciate you moving it back, as it is something I would like to...
That's a very fair question OF. For whatever reason, I missed this deal in the past, and had just found out about it on M&M yesterday morning. I...
WOW, that's one hell of an endorsement. Luck is better than Marino,"" and Peyton, and Elway combined. He will re-define the record books, and be...
That's kinda morbid, but still great. May we all see another Super Bowl before that happens.
I see you are in a gray area, as is your cat. :)
What size is the Henne jersey, and how much do you want for it?
And what of the Dolphin players, hearing more cheers for an opposing player?
You gonna be at the game to hear all the Gator cheers?
One thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Aside from Canes fans, IT SUCKS FOR DOLPHANS!!!! In all due respect, I have no idea how...
I am saying that there are many, as well as casual fans, as I posted.
