He played for Miami coach Joe Philbin for five years when Philbin was the offensive line coach and offensive coordinator in Green Bay.

I thought he was an Eagle now.

According to a league source, the Dolphins have scheduled a Monday visit with veteran starting guard Daryn Colledge, who would provide depth and versatility on a unit still stinging from the loss of center Mike Pouncey.
-
Hopefully the deal gets done.
-
What??????
Colledge was horrible last year. He is washed up,washed out, and sputtering along on an empty tank.
Coax Travelle Wharton out of retirement or just go with the youngsters. -
-
Hickey's got a high strike rate for signing the FA's that visit, so I'm expecting we'll sign him, especially with the Philbin connection. It has a bit of a whiff of the Eric Steinbach signing though, experienced ex-OL that Philbin knows and admires....hope it doesn't end up the same way.
-
How many of his games last year did you break down film and analyze his performance?Triggercut likes this.

if someone couldn't tell that Eric Steinbach was washed up when he did the workout then I believe that person had a bias that he couldn't get passed...it was obvious..
So that is worrisome to a degree, because I'm family certain it wasn't the GM who wanted him. -
I'm happy about us bringing in Satele for a visit on Monday. This is not an ideal situation obviously but at least we're bringing in a veteran now, instead of waiting until week 4 of the regular season, or week 12. As soon as the Pouncey news broke, Satele was the first name that popped in my head of the FA's available. I applaud Hickey so far. I'm not going to stand on my roof and yell he's the GM of the Year, but he's doing pretty well so far.

Bad memories from Satele's time here. Granted, little was solely his fault.

Satele and Colledge fall into the same general mold, they're guys who can do the job but don't have the strength to really be quality players. They're good enough to start and if they're in a situation where they are getting consistently to the second level they're pretty good, but they shouldn't be among your best linemen.
I'd like to see what the Eagles want for Mathis at this point. -
Denney, Starks, Fields
-
Denney, Fields, Starks, Garner. It was 4 current on the 53 man roster in 2008. Garner was inactive every week though, but he was on the roster.
So you're a big silly Polly Wolly Doodle all the day. :lol:Ophinerated and PhinsRDbest like this. -

The Sports Buzz is adding Steve Vallos to the list of Satele and Colledge being worked out tomorrow. A fourth name is expected but not yet identified.MrClean likes this. -

What, if anything, do we know about the zone blocking experience/suitability of any of the three candidates? Of any of the other JAG's still on the market? I wonder if they are truly better than Garner/Brenner/Larsen or just more experienced?
-
Unfortunately, there's a reason why these guys are available.

Exactly. With a salary cap, no team can afford to have two starter level guys at every position the way big time college teams often do. Besides what quality pro wants to go somewhere knowing they are simply a place holder until the all-pro comes back?
I do think if we are going to have to plug a guy in we should do it at center so Smith can get his feet wet at RG. That way when (if) Pouncey returns this season it does not require more adjustment time getting Smith back to speed at guard. -
I think you're just looking for someone to come in, be a veteran, and not be completely terrible. A JAG might be welcomed. As ok as Brenner played last year, you are still counting on 2 UDFAs manning the Center position, and that could mean worse than average play.
-
Looks like he signed him.

Who signed whom???? -

Ryan Harris was the fourth lineman worked out. A look at his PFW page suggests both he and Satele impressed coaches and also may be signed later.
-
Like Ryan Harris, he was a kid highly touted coming out of high school, had all the top programs after him, signed with Notre dame, I'm not sure where he's at in terms of injuries but I can tell you that when he was in high school, i haven't seen many kids at that age work as hard as he did going after his dream, kid was on an intense strict eating and lifting schedule, had good fundamentals, was always a bit light but athletic and moved well..has had severe back issues, and surgery so that's why he's probably on the market, 29 year old player, best you can hope for is the back has healed up..don't know why we would sign him with Fox as our swing tackle, maybe sign him and let those two compete for the position, he's def not a guard or center material.Ohiophinphan likes this.

Hopefully this desperate signing of an older lineman goes better than Clabo did.
-
They are not the same player. Steinbach was a year removed from missing a season with a back injury. Colledge has been durable and had no such problems throughout his career. There is no logical reason to assume that Steinbach being a waste of space means Colledge will be too.

Got me again, it was PFT not PFW. I was a long time subscriber to PFW and I must have defaulted to old habits!MrClean likes this. -
That's not what I'm saying, I'm saying if joe ohilbin is doing the evaluating on Olineman who have been coached by him, it's hard to trust his evaluation skills considering a washed up has been was begging to be put out of his misery yet he still signed him..lol
