Egnew...He gone.

Damn. I'm surprised. I really thought he'd make it because of his having gotten things turned around as a blocker.

It's interesting they did this so early. Maybe that's as a favor to the player so he can try and catch onto another team.

I cant say I am surprised .He was on my cut list.A real tweener in the true sense of the word.I really though his name was going to come up as one on the bullied list during the bullying scandal.

On the downside I cant have fun with the Eggnog nickname I gave him during xmas time anymore.:cry:

Bubble guy, no biggy. I don't expect any surprises in these cuts.

Didn't think it would be this soon, Good luck Egnew with the Pats

Jeff Ireland ladies and gentlemen.

Passed on Jimmy Graham in the 3rd round.

Took Egnew in the 3rd round a few years later.

And this man had defenders......

Wow. So it begins. Always hoped he'd turn it around and do some things for us.

I'm actually kind of wary of the possibility of him doing that for someone else. Something I've learned over the years is those tight ends with great tangibles have a way of turning up like bad pennies.

I would tend to think there's a story behind this. He wasn't particularly far down the depth chart, and it isn't a cutdown.

Yes, and rightfully so. You can literally do that for every single personnel decision maker in the league regardless of quality

Especially when the Dolphins cut them. They add +5 to their player progression in madden when the Dolphins cut them automatically.

Totally see this happening with the Pats, since we are their farm team and all....

Will be interested to see how he does with another team, as it will reveal some things about our coaching staff.

Facts are facts.

Whatever evaluation method Ireland was using graded Graham as a 4th round pick, Egnew as a 3rd. Obviously those evaluations were wrong.

When you get fired because you fail to pick good players it's only natural to look at the good players you might have had with better evaluation

Oh.....Now I know who Adam Shefter's source with the Dolphins is. What a ****ing hack. "League Source" my balls.

Quite unfortunate for a 3rd rd draft pick at a position where there was plenty of chances to be had. :/

Jets or Pats gunna pick him up....and he'll torch us

I wouldn't worry about that too much.

Just because Egnew was taken in the 3rd and we didn't take Graham in the 3rd doesn't mean Ireland would have graded Egnew ahead of Graham if they were in the same draft class.

I think this is actually a good sign that they really like Sims and Clay is healthy.

Rejoice.

That and maybe we will keep an extra receiver...

Gator Hoskins, Art Lynch, Brackett, Kyle Miller. Serious battle there in these last two games.

I think Ireland leaving the Dolphins was more to do with his inability to get along with Joe Philbin than his ability to pick good players. There are GMs that have proven to be much worse at picking players that have had success in the NFL.

It is a little bit of Irelandish move, cutting an experienced player to keep inexperienced players.
