Was part of an interview with Justin Smiley last Friday. Definitely is one of the players you'd like to have access to. http://www.thephins.com/index.php?o...nterview-with-justin-smiley&catid=15:dolphins
George, absolutely AWESOME!!! MUCK: How good did it feel to ask JS exactly what we are all feeling. The more I see, the more I am VERY glad we brought this kid in. I didnt realize he was drafted the same year as V-Carey. He seems like a good-ole boy that is just loving playing with this team. I am giddy about what this line is gonna look like in another year or two. I still think Ronnie/Ricky are absolutely Salivating Oh yeah, listening to him talking about "If Me and Samson couldnt move Wilfork, then NOBODY is gonna move the man". And how he was "Tired of hearing about how good Wilfork is". Great great interview. Thanks MUCK for sharing.
I gotta tell you, listening to the questions its easy to make the connection with this site. Its testimont to how this site is heads and shoulders above the others..and it starts from the VERY top
Great job, Admin! Just a little jealous on my end that you were there. Love the confidence. Nice to see some nastiness back in the line
I prepared a lot of questions, as I'm sure the other fellas (and lady) did, but unfortunately only got to ask one. There was only so much time, and Justin was so good with his answers that we never got around again. So I certainly can't complain. Not sure when the next one is yet. But I knew he'd be good judging from the interviews I'd heard from him in the past. I wish we could get him every week.
I think everybody's ears went up when he talked about 'Mini Brian' (Donald Thomas). Brian Waters has been one of the best guards in the league for a long time. 2x All-Pro, 3x Pro Bowler. That is high praise right there. If DT can be that good, that part of your OL is rock solid for the next decade-plus.
OT: this interview shows the great thing about fan sites. We only get so many chances like this, so we make them count. Everybody asked good questions, and I'm sure had a bunch more if needed.
He seems like a real good guy. There was a time when he could've called out other guys on the line for not making plays but he called himself out. Team player! Is this redistributable?
Just wanted to add my thanks for this great interview. Great idea of the fanblogs to get together to do this, too.
I think this, along with his obvious ability and his "Matter of fact" attitude help with the others on the line. This IS the type of guy I want representing The Phins.
Great interview, thanks for the link. Smiley is a huge part of this OL makeup, he is the vet beside Long and Satele helping them gel and grow into a solid OL. Loved the comment this weeks only difference was execution. If they can execute that well every game, we'll be in every game with a chance to win it.
Great job Brother Muck. Good to see that the Dolphins recognize the fan sites, and set this up for us.
