Him signing would make for a good afternoon. Let's get it done.

 

If he took a physical, this is going somewhere.

 

if he took a physical i would assume their is some minor issue they need to work on....

 

sounds close

 

I do not know that much about him, but from what I have been reading here, it sounds like a good deal. I do have a question for the draft guru's out there if this signing goes through. Which direction do you think we should go with the first pick? I would still think we go OLB or S. You can never have enough defense and I do not think Bryant will be there for our pick.

 

Olb....pls!!!!!!

 

If he's taking a physical isn't that like the precursor to him signing a contract? It sounds to me that him signing is not very far off.

 

As I posted in the other Clark thread. I am not too convinced about this move. Correct me if I am wrong but I think that Clark was the SS in Pittsburg and Palomalu was the FS. Aren't we making the same mistake here in trying to sign another SS and sticking him in the FS stop as we did with Wilson last year.

Someone who is more familiar with the Steelers please help me with this and let me know if I am right in regards to how Clark was used in that system and if he is suited for the FS vacancy in our defense.

 

You were already corrected in that thread about 3 times.:up:

 

In a quarter scheme like ours, even though we do run a little of everything, we are always more likely to sign a big hitter that can stuff the run over a ballhawk at Safety. When sitting in our base version of quarters it's like a 9 in the box defense.

 

Troy is their SS. I'm pretty happy with this move. We're fixing spots that killed us last year and I'm excited for the draft.

 

clark is a fs

 

Anything you saw on D last yr is probably going to be gone. The system Nolan runs compared to Pasq other than both being a 3-4 are vastly different.

 

Awesome that clears up one more need for our team

 

exactly how many ryan clark threads do we really need :wink2:

 

Maybe picking up these needs in the FA, will let us make a bigger move trade wise?

 

Im pretty excited about this potential signing. Vocal leader on D, could really help step up the production from the younger dudes.

 

Maybe he was in town and decided to take a stroll @ the Dolphins facilities, check everything out, get to know some people, talk football, maybe take a physical... you know, nothing serious.

 

i wish we had this kind of coverage when dansby was here visiting.wierd how for one guy it's hush hush and the next we know everytime he blinks his eyes.

 

:headscratch:

if he is taking a physical it tells me he is about to sign

 

:lol:

just spending a day with the dolphins for the f of it....

 

im referring to him taking the physical and not having been announced as signing the contract. In other words I am assuming they are close with maybe one or two minor disagreements, but it is likely he will sign.

 

Yep, Antrel Rolle did the same thing with the Giants so hopefully some time tonight we'll get word he signed.

 

one more!!!!! :tongue2:

 

This thing is all but done, lets get it done tonight and ill be very happy.

 

I say just one more thread about Clark. One that says he signed.

 

If he took a physical without an "agreement" it's simple: There is a slight issue with length agreed upon in the contract or something minor.

 

Clark is a guy with medical issues, so it's not uncommon to hold off on the announcement until after the physical.

 

Yeah hopfully they get it worked out before the end of the day.

 

The only place he couldn't play at is Denver and we don't play Denver to often

 

I just read in the other thread that he was cleared to play in Denver.

But back on topic, that would still likely mean that our doctors would have to complete the physical before anything was announced.

 

looks like all we need now is a NT on defense
sure Nolan is all over this acquisition @ FreeSafety
