* Our weakest link is SS Reshad Jones.

What does this mean?

I watch tape on players and come to my own conclusions. I question his instincts and anticipation. I feel he's consistently taken bad angles in pursuit or in run support. To me at times he appears to be the best player on the other team with dropped int's, missed tackles, & poor angles. This of course is the past and a judgment based on past performance and I will have faith in the Fins staff to have helped iron out his technique such as using more consistent knee bend in his play and softening up his hands. He does have talent in that he's better than average athletic wise & has played the run well at times. He's a Fin so I'm a fan of his but I would much rather see TJ McDonald take the start.

I guess I have to disagree. Reshad Jones is consistently one of the best players on the entire team, let alone the defense.

You want TJ to start over Reshad jones? If he could?

best player on the other team?

I don't believe your a dolphin fan yet..I'm sorry..

I couldn't disagree more on Rashad.

Which, to be honest, makes me less interested in spending the time to read your opinions on the other players.

I do appreciate the amount of work you clearly put in to writing these though.

You didn't offend me. No harm nor foul. As really am wrong about people more than I care to admit. Good luck Fins in 2017!

You seem to be talking about Reshad as if he's a young player, waiting to be coached up, but he's nearly 30 and been in the league for 7 years and been to the probowl and is widely considered one of the best SS's in the league.

I've never noticed an issue with him dropping INTs, every DB drops INTs, and he's a SS, but he has 16 INTs, to go along with 40 PD's, I would say he has decent hands for a SS.

Missing tackles? Not sure where that's coming from, the dude is a tackling machine, he has 545 total tackles and 9 sacks to boot.

I agree he takes bad angles at times, but that would be the only thing I agree on, Reshad is one of the top players on the team in my, and nearly anyone you'd ask, be it and expert or a common football fans opinion.

Ok I have to be honest. When a player gets caught cheating I hold a grudge. Maybe I was a bit hard on #20.. Some friends tell me I'm naïve & that all my favorite players are dopers & just clean up better. And I think that's horse crap. I let em know the highest level of coaching integrity is in the NFL, and that its high along the way. This isn't bodybuilding. So It irks me to think a guy would stick a needle in his butt to outshine the guy who's following the rules. To try & take his roster spot and & all the glory that follows? No! Our motto down here is there are no subs for hard work. He blamed his college trainer for giving him a "supplement" that caused the + . Yeah ok, so your trainer goes to GNC for you 4 years outta college? And to the guy that thinks I'm not a fin fan , well I speak for myself & I would rather watch the same Fins game a dozen times over than watch 2 other random lesser teams play once.

Interesting. I hadn't heard about the supplements thing with Rashad. I can understand why you would have an issue with something you felt was unfair. Heck, it's why I dislike the Pats so much.

He was suspended for 4 games because of it back in '14.

I had actually forgotten myself until he brought it up, then I was like "oh yeah, he was suspended at the same time DJ was suspended".

Davon Godchaux may not be playing behind Jordan Phillips if Phillips doesn't actually go out and win the starting job. Last I heard, Godchaux was ahead of Phillips in practice. Not sure if this is just mind games from the coach, although Phillips needs some motivation so that very well could be all it is. Would be awesome if Godchaux really was playing well enough to start though.

Intriguing, a poster states an opinion on a player, his reasons for said opinion and is questioned whether or not he's a real fan? He wasn't belittling or disrespectful; just stated his opinion.

Godchaux was better than JP in the game vs the Falcons, and he looked good, while JP looked like JP, a back up.

This JP experiment failing really irks me, because we passed up on Ali Marpet to draft this under performing player, who was an under performing player in college.

All good I was holding in negativity and you guys saw through it. Its what it is man. We have other things to focus on.

I'm like BPK on this, I appreciate the work you put in, but will reserve judgement of your football acumen, lol, but you attitude is A+!

Good to have you here SC.

And what I heard was before that game, based on practices, so it sounds like it's true.

Well on JP's side he played in all the games last yr, doubled his assists, had his 1st NFL Int, & only dropped 1 tackle from the year befores 14. He didn't sack as well last year, ok but calling him a failed experiment? Nah. And worse an underperforming college player? That's plainly not true. You don't go up as a 4th year sophomore unless you do the opposite of underperform which is what he did with 30+ tackles, 7 TFL, & 2 sacks at OU in 14'
