http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/thed...nd-and-miami-dolphins-dont-use-franchise-tag/ If Solai signs with another team, it could possibly change the draft plans. I was hoping we could land one of the good FA pass rushers, but I figured they would get tagged or resigned. S--t, the draft is wide open.
Its all such a disturbing livestock trade show...I mean when football gets abolished are we to be forced to watch MMA in some sort of psychotic Babylon AD scenario...no offence
If Miami's going to make a big run and throw a dumptruck of cash at someone, I'd hope they'd give it to Mario Williams over Peyton Manning.
Not a huge deal... kinda sucks but eh...... thats how it is. I was against the manning idea at first, but as time goes on and i read more about it, i'm a lot more onboard about it now. either way... (especially with this being considered)... we need to beef up the D.
I really hope its a smokescreen, all these reports that we're saving money to throw at Peyton... Sure, if he's 100% healthy and plays like the Peyton we're used to its a great move short term, but in 2-3 years... then what? Also, if we had a team that could contend and win the Super Bowl next season, with Petyon... I'd be for it as well. I don't think we're that team. We still need to build around him. Just... the whole idea of it, especially given his health just doesn't sit well with me. As for the tag... No big deal really. Little surprised they havent locked up Soliai already though. Maybe they're looking at other options, or letting him test the market with the intent of giving Miami the last chance...
Dont know why this is a big deal. The last 3 4-3 Super Bowl winning teams were the NYG, Colts and Saints and none really had bigtime DT's. I like Soliai as a 3-4 nose but to spend 10M on a 4-3 DT is silly. Its not like Soliai is Justin Tuck or John Randle in his prime where he gets double digit sacks and can be counted on for countless pressures and hits. I wouldnt resign Langford either for that matter. Both those guys are better suited for the 3-4 and will get paid more then I would want to see us commit to a 4-3 DT. Starks/Odrick/whoever else is fine.
Agreed. Odrick really came on strong last year. Put him next to Starks in the middle and get someone to pair with Wake on the edge and you got a solid 4-3 line.
