Actually liked his article for once. Nice breakdown and explanations. The Ferguson, Walden and Thomas shifting was a thing of beauty, this FO really knows how from every angle how to get value for the team. Unreal management in my opinion.

Good read. I don't think anyone can doubt the great job Parcells and Ireland did last off-season, even Armando.

Nice article, but I don't totally agree. You can always find some fault. For instance, Ayodele... While he filled a role, our ILBer play along with Crowder was average, at best. The McClown move, while getting a 7th for him helped, that can't be dumped on the trio because when that move was made, no one had a wild idea that Penny would land here...Fasano played well, but is not an every down TE as of yet...or at least he probably won't be as big a threat in the passing game as you want the TE position to be. Still, for this season, getting Ayodele and Fasano was a steal...
Obviously the one black mark on their personnel moves was Wilford. I'll be the first to say that I thought he was due for a breakout season after his previous season in Jax, but I was wrong too....so Tunaland and Sparano get a bye on that one....LOL... -
It's one of 'Nando's better articles, and the Ferguson/Thomas/Walden trade was as brilliant as Fasano/Ayodele.
The one overlooked item is JT believes he will be cut by the Redskins in a Cap Move, if he wants to play Football, he would be nice depth here for JP at OLB.. -
JT is a guy who never misses game prior to 08 and is a perennial 10 sack a year guy.
I would love to have him back if he re-dedicates himself for the season.Larryfinfan likes this. -
The FINAL WORD: The next trade Ireland and Parcells make for the Dolphins that goes awry will be the first trade they make on behalf of the Dolphins that goes awry. And if I'm Jerry Jones and Bill Parcells or Jeff Ireland are calling, I do not pick up the phone.:lol:
good stuff. -
To me, if he wanted to resign in Miami and acted like he had something to prove, I think he could still fill in for us, or at least be in the DE/OLB rotation. -

If it wasn't for JT's style of play, I'd say "Not a chance" but he plays with more leverage and footwork then outright speed.
Eh, new culture, I doubt they would make a play for him. -
-
But you're probably right.. -

I dont remember that.. in 2007 i know it was his foot, i thought the same in 2006, could be wrong about 2006 though -
Mundo wrote a nice article...
Man...I guess winning does cure everything... -

I love JT and everything he did for the organization...But it was his time to go...and from football point of view...We robed the Redskins :D
-
That's like saying Ronnie's durability problem caused his injury when he got his hand caught in another player's face mask. JT didn't even lift a finger under Cam's regime and he didn't get hurt.
A lot of players still got hurt who participated in the offseason program. Remmeber when he left Dallas everyone said it made you stronger but wore you down at the end of the season, causing injuries ... -

I think its rather silly to think that we'll see JT back here, except possibly as a one day signing to retire...The bridges seemed to be burned pretty thoroughly when he left.
As to his fitting in here, if he were to return, with his talent, they'd find a way to use him. As to Zach, well, I hope he doesn't return...I loved his play and his heart, but I wish he'd save his head for the rest of his life and retire now...but again, if he were to return, with what he can offer, they'd find a way to use him.
But these two scenarios are simply pipe dreams. Neither player is what he once was and neither probably wishes to return... -
