Dolphins sign Polite...Goodman not at practice

Goodman Waived?

And replace with who?

Please god no, even as questionable as he has played, please no. Our starters outside of Allen and Bell are suspect, what does that say about our abckups that they can't beat them out?

Says we need to cut loose all the crap and replace them with good draft prospects next April.

If Goodman is gone, I wont be disappointed.

Maybe he should watch a week or 2 but I hope he isn't cut. Our depth is not very strong

Maybe demoted. I wouldnt be disappointed. Maybe the coaching staff sees some consistencies that shows he is worse than what we are seeing...

Its too bad really, I liked him when we signed him in 06 from detroit. he was a good tackler and was good at breaking up passes. He has declined considerably, probably due to his injury

At least its nice to know Sparano was not happy with the secondary play and he continues to tweak the lineup. Maybe he hurt Goodman's feelings and he's home pouting.

No official word yet. Both mention Barton being out, but Armando speculates on Barton being gone, while Harvey wonders if Goodman is the one axed.

Generally I don't think it'd necessarily be a problem going without a FB for a week if Cramer was out, since we're primarily a 2-TE offense. But with Baltimore coming to town, they're going to need blockers. Still, I wonder if 6-8, 270-pound Joey Haynos can see live offensive action.

You gotta keep Goodman on the roster IMO. Especially when your #1 CB is hurting and the OL has 10 healthy bodies.

If Goodman is indeed gone, not to worry. I'm sure Jason Allen will slide over to fill the bottom of that depth chart too. :rolleyes:

This is an ongoing process and the FO said we would be VERY active in aquiring players all season.. Im happy to see Tony is sticking to his word on this.

Certainly, but why cut them in Week 7 when the alternatives are even worse? Why not wait until the offseason?

Goodman might not be great, but he's an experienced vet that has played at a pretty good level in the past (2006). If they cut him, who else is there besides Lehan, who shouldn't be starting either IMO? I don't know that we have many/any options right now.

I'd love to get at Asomugha next year and draft a guy. He and Allen would lock down the outside for a year before hopefully the youngin' takes over.

:confused2: I dont know... seemed like the right thing to do at the time?

But cutting Goodman makes an area of weakness even worse, and then you have guys coming in modseason and having to learn all the keys, reads, and checks associated with our defense. Not good right now, unless you have to do it.

Maybe he's just sick, or had to take his kid to school and didnt feel the need to call the coach :pointlol:

I think we are all overreacting... Myself included

Maybe he can't bear to be seen in public after the way we lost. People deal with things differently. :jump:

See it being very unlikely that Goodman was cut because the secondary is already very thin. Lehan was the only guy that this regime re-signed when they took over so they obviously like what they saw from him and was a starter before the ankle injury. He also has good hands and will catch intercept when given the oppurtunity.

Good move IMO.

I really seriously doubt they waive Goodman. As much as this team needs to find a number one Cb, and move Will Allen to the number two. As it stands now, there are no better Cb's on the roster. Allen is a clear starter, not great but solid enough, and Goodman is the only one close to deserve to start. I surely hope they don't have intentions of making Lehan the starter because he is the one Cb that teams seem to pick on the most when he's on the field. I'm a huge fan of Lehan's work ethic and occassional knack for making a play. However, I'm not at all a fan of him being a starter, or nickle for that matter. He is an OK Cb, who is not afraid to tackle, but to me, he's a Dime Cb at best.

two words JASON ALLEN!

From the Sun-Sentinel:

Andre' Goodman did not practice Thursday due to what coach Tony Sparano called "a personal emergency," and Michael Lehan worked in his starting spot.

Sorry if someone already posted this.

He has a panic attack when Ireland called him and told him he was being released.

Parcells did this in Dallas to Derek Ross. Ross was viewed as one of their best corners at the time. Parcells cut his ass like he was nothing. Ross was done with football within 3 years.

"The 49ers claimed offensive lineman Kirk Barton off waivers today to take cornerback Shawntae Spencer's spot on the 53-man roster

The Dolphins waived Barton on Wednesday to sign fullback Lousaka Polite. The Dolphins claimed Barton off waivers from the Bears on Sept. 12."

Niners fill Spencer's roster spot with O-lineman - 49ers

Goodmen are hard to find but Polite ones are a rarity indeed.

I called the Polite signing as soon as he was cut from the Cowboys......a mere 2 months later, I look like a genius!! :lol:
