Saw this: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/football/pro/dolphins/sfl-flspdolphins30sbjul30,0,3615220.story I knew the minute we traded for him he'd be a great pickup. Loved him at ND and played well as a backup at Dallas but now it's his time to shine.
I agree. It's a trade that made sense- we needed a TE and he was stuck behind Jason Witten. Plus we got the linebacker- great trade, especially considering how young Fasano is.
I would take Fasano over McMichael- younger, bigger, better blocker, and he's a good receiver. He'll obviously be easier to judge after this year. He was a second round pick for a reason- I have high hopes for him.
That wasn't my point. WE got rid of McMike and a lot of people said good riddance. ignoring he was a top 10 even top five in production TE for severl of the years he was here.
I agree about McMike being under appreciated. I also am pretty optimistic about Fasano. If he pans out as a good starter, then we got a heck of a deal. A lot of people around here wanted us to spend a 2nd on a TE this year.
Yeah, interestng point. If I recall correctly he started getting a case of the dropsies and his blocking was suspect. I think that he had a particularly bad game against the Packers down here, game losing kind of stuff.
Yeah, you're basically talking about the whole miami dolphins the last few years essentially Randy had drops, but I think that is a Miami thing. Can't figure it out. Nobody is immune to it. Chambers left, and he's not on the drop leaderboards, but normally sure handed Booker landed on it last year. Hagan, McMike. But we're talking about 8 landing you as a leader, and 4 not even being listed. It isn't that huge of a deal at the end of the day if they're making plays.
Im still a bit bummed we ditched McMichael. This is it for Fasano though, this is his time to shine. The FO brought him here from Dallas thinking he could perform, and that he never got to show his stuff being stuck behind Witten. Well this is it for him. This is his time. He better be hungry. Our young QB's are going to need a TE who can play this year. Its certainly not David Martin, and I doubt it would be Peele or Ryan, so its up to Fasano.
