Welcome back Gish.
I think that the front office wasn't impressed with our "leadership" last year. Which is why you've seen them shipped out.DOLPHAN1 and P h i N s A N i T y like this. -
Dansby showed up overweight, and Long underperformed this year. I'm gonna miss Reggie though.

Long: Had Brinks truck deliver his money no matter his play. Does'nt want to give the home town discount now. Screw him
Dansby:Unfortunately I have another jersey to retire now. He is not the greatest thing since sliced bread. Good...., but not self proclamation and say things that pisses off the organization..good. Good bye
Bush: Good guy. Good leader. We need first downs. We have a guy we like. I understand why we let go of him.
I don't understand why this is that important really. If you can't keep your **** together and play football without a childish pep talk, then GTFO. This is not a Disney Movie. -
Who is this GISH guy you speak of? :shifty:
And, yes, this is the second identical thread I have read in the last 10 seconds...... -
Long couldn't stay on the field, Ellerbe is younger and better than Dansby at this point, and Bush, well, he was a liability as well as a superstar. He was tough to support.

Tannehill and Philbin's team now, I like it. Long is the only guy that I really want to keep although his play took a step back this year.
-
I think tannehill has all the weight on his shoulders now. He better get the deep ball early and often with Wallace. And he needs to command respect in the locker room and huddle. -

Welcome to the boards, Gish. Let me know if you have any questions about anything here.

Like it or not, Jake Long was a prima dona type and when Tony left the building do did Longs standing with the team. Great kid, yes, but if Long isn't stroked on a daily basis he reacts badly. Love the kid, wish he stays at a good price but Jake Long is not the Jake Long we drafted folks. -
With all due respect, nonesense.
A kid doesn't have to be a media hound to be a leader. Jake Long was a leader on the field and in the locker room. He led by example. He played hurt, and busted his *** through some nasty shoulder issues...never making excuses or throwing anybody under the bus....ever.DOLPHAN1 likes this. -
The old timers return. I LOVE it.

I thought it was a good move when we let Bell walk, and I think it's good now.

We NEVER heard bad words come from the mans mouth.
Other players looked at him as a bookend.
He played his *** off hurt each and every down.
He never talked bad about anybody...ever.
Some guys don't need to talk to be leaders.oakelmpine likes this. -
Miller has never been hurt. You drunk? :wink2: -
Besides asswads like Marshal or Ocho Cinco when did you ever hear bad words about any team from any player ? Its the way they make a living, they are not stupid
The players Looked at him as a bookend ? Please, clue me in on that remark. Jake has not played well for over two seasons now.
Every single player plays hurt, accept that.
You last statement is a repeat of your first statement and I will repeat mine. Name players that talked down about their team and I will show you players that got cut or are just plain asswads.
You find one post where I said I did not like Jake. The reality is, Jake is not the Jake we drafted and probably never will be again.azfinfanmang likes this. -
What kind of leadership do you have on a 7-9 team? Bush played hard and maintained a clean respectable image but I don't think he provided the leadership you would expect from a team leader. I just don't think the team has a real identity yet. There's plenty of candidates who could step up and take the roll. Wake, Tannehill, Pouncey, Wallace. Someone will step into the roll, its just a question of who will accept it and when.

Wait...what?
Is this sarcasm?
No drinking tonight. On pain meds.... :up: -

Did I miss something?
Jake hasn't signed yet. -

Long is an enigma to me, love his talent and respect his ability, but based on the last 2 years performance and his injury bug, I don't want to pay him what he wants. Just think he can be replaced at his current level and at fairly reasonable cost. Bush has talent, but he didn't prove he is an every down back, his YPC was poor at best, he only excites me when he gets the ball in the open field, not really going to miss him because I think his replacement is going to be considerably better, has already shown it IMHO.
Dansby never lived up to the hype IMHO, he is a solid, but not great player. Ellerbe is a great player, Burnett has been replaced with a considerable upgrade. If we get our CB/Safety positions solid, this could be a SERIOUSLY SCARY DEFENSE!
Color me very pleased with our three FA signings and looking for one more significant upgrade, preferably at TE. Ireland may have just redeemed himself this FA and we're only in the first day.oakelmpine likes this. -

I hope all 3 are on the roster at the start of the season. -
Bush signed a four year deal with the Lions for considerably less money than he's been payed here, which means Miller was the plan and he knew it. Dansby was cut because he wouldn't restructure his deal. Long, though, has said he'll give the Phins a chance to match any offers.
