yea wtf, we had a chance to sign this guy last year or the year before, and we didnt do it.


now hes in the pro bowl.


everyone always says Miami doesnt spend big bucks for overpriced free agents, and thats cool and all.....other teams DO spend big bucks for free agents, and other teams ARE NOT 1-13. perhaps Miami needs to start dishing out money, rather than signing a bunch of mediocre guys.

all these mediocre guys can do good.....but look, when they actually do well and are at the top of the NFL...they will want big bucks. Rex Hadnot is doing fine, and now he wants more money....so its all fine and dandy that Miami doesnt spend big bucks, brings in depth and mediocre guys, and drafts good players...but once those players turn into pro bowlers, theyll command big bucks and Miami doesnt give big bucks. AKA...miami will be a mediocre team forever. not cool.

 

Dallas has a much better core than Miami. You can't compare them. Look at San Francisco, they signed Clements and Lewis to huge contracts, how are they doing?

 

You have a point, but San Frans defense went from crap last year to pretty solid this year because of those two signings, and of course drafting Willis.

 

I think he's overrated to start with, and no where near worth his contract.

But he's had an impact for sure. See, he's had the champ bailey effect. Teams playing the niners don't throw at clements, they throw at Walt Harris. So production wise it seems Clements isnt doing anything, but he effects the other teams offense greatly.

 

I remember being one of the few lobbying for the guy, and all I heard about was his head issues with that altercation that happened a few years ago.

Chalk that one up with when me and Boomer argued about Anquan Boldin in pretty much every draft thread back in 2003. Apparently, Boldin wasn't even worthy of a 2nd round selection. He was "too slow" -- lol......

 

I have always been in favor of Ken Hamlin, saw him play every year when he was a Hog, he is a huge hitter and has good character. The kind of guy you want playing for the the Phins.

 

He is a Jason Allen, good in run defense and tackling and sub-par to average in pass coverage. He will also want a big contract I would rather spend the big money on Samuel or Asomough.

 

You really have a very twisted view of what happened there.

For the 10,000th time, my point was that teams WOULDN'T take Boldin because of his 4.68 speed, regardless of how good he is. A damning indictment of the NFL, but true. So please don't continue to misquote me over this.

 

Actually in the NFL the has been a huge shift in dfrafting philosphy. Teams are now looking for smaller, slower, and less physically talented players. Wait a second that's just Miami!

 

i think with jason allen improved it is not a necessity...but it would be nice to see hamlin and bell in the secondary

 

And considering he was the only DB that wasn't victimized last week, that should tell you something about his coverage.

 

Hehehe :)

 

I think he's having a little joke.

 

Bell isn't coming back he is 30 years old and has a torn achilles, there is no reason to keep him around and he wasn't anything special either.

 

Nothing special? :lol:

 

If your definition of special is being poor in pass coverage then yes he was very special, there is no need to keep a 30 old safety around who has been injured most of his career and reached his potential which isn't very high. I wouldn't mind if he comes back as a backup and special teams guy but nothing more.
