Please dear Lord make this deal only for depth purposes and not becuase big Jake has an injury that has not yet been disclosed.
Nah may as well increase the degree of difficulty to the highest level possible.. That dude is the definition "big ugly upfront" he is possibly the only member of the Dolphins who will have to pay to play on South Beach...sheesh...
The only surprise is the player but its no surprise we would be dealing with the Cowboys for their leftovers. Its still an ongoing process. He looks like one of the hillbillies in Deliverance.
This move made because neither Murhtha nor Gardner have looked very good and Garner must still be a question mark for us....
you guys are terrible... can the guy block? Yes he can, is he versatile? Yes he is... he is not a replacement for Jake Long or Vernon Carey... but he is a replacement for Nate Garner.
I must admit that this move makes no sense to me. Everyone else is focusing on trimming down to their 53 man roster and we grab another guy? One the eve of Long's injury this is awfully odd. (IMHO)
"The teams will switch 2011 sixth-round draft positions should the Dolphins have the worse record (and higher pick). If the Dolphins finish with a better record and a lower pick than the Cowboys, no compensation will be exchanged." From the Sun Sentinel.... Sounds like a good move on Ireland's part... Just a replacement for Garner, although he's no where near as good a Garner, he's a body that they know and has played tackle who could fill in if Carey or Long have issues...At least he is a better option than Murtha or Gardner have shown.
