Re: burnett released

Gotdamn.

 

Wow.

Heads ====> rolling

 

called it

 

Cap savings?

 

I'm not sure if I like that.

 

Ireland is giving mother****ers pinkslips.

 

damn- much respect for what he did here. Burnett always seemed to be out there giving it all and had no quit in him.

 

I'm getting angry

 

Well, that's that then.

 

wow. cleaning house.

 

We dont have days like this very often. :lol:

 

Fellas, this is why I never blame an athlete for going for the top $$$ they can get.

Teams hold all of the cards, and Burnett was highly PFF rated as well, or is that PFF..T?

:shifty:

 

Will they wait a year to release Bess??

#Dolphins save another $3.2m by cutting Kevin Burnett, on top of $3.9m saved on Dansby. Savings used to pay for Wheeler & Ellerbe

 

That **** CRAY

 

I dont get this, I though Burnett did really good this past season. I am already panicking over what Ireland is doing.

Dolphins defense getting more aggressive. Picked up two of the better blitzing linebackers in the league. Really attack QB with intent

Love it.

 

The writing was on the wall once Wheeler was signed. There's a point where trying hard doesn't compare to athleticism and youth. Just ask Zach Thomas (that hurt to write, by the way).

 

Their transitioning into an attacking blitz centric D. Im okay with it

 

Right now, the linebackers are:

SLB - Koa Misi
MLB - Dannell Ellerbe (get ready for that name to be misspelled a bunch)
WLB - Phillip Wheeler

IMO, Koa Misi's contract is keeping him on the roster at this point. It will not surprise me to see Miami try to find a SLB that can play a role similar to what Von Miller plays as the SLB in Denver's defense. I don't think they would use a high pick on this player, but it may be someone that is considered to be a little raw but a tremendous athlete. Maybe they look at a guy like Sean Porter at some point.

 

I am kind of sad to loose Burnett. I think he played fairly well here.

 

It is beautiful. We remade our linebacking core today, got younger in the process and didn't lose any cap room either. S we can still go out and fill other needs while at the same time we just got better at LB.

Ireland is doing amazing work today.

 

To me it felt like I was always yelling at Burnett on sunday. I thought he was solid in SD but here he always disapointed me.

 

Well, the linebacker situaiton may not be fully resolved yet.

 

Makes sense. THat ends my first offseason panic attack haha

 

Guess this means Misi back at lber? First words were that he'd used 'differently' this yr?

 

Who? Daniel Ellerby?

 

Do you think Burnett and Dansby are better than Wheeler and Ellerbe? I don't, and the salary difference is minimal.

We got younger, faster and better.

Net gain may not be as great as it seems, but we're getting upgrades all around.

 

This looks like a bigger rebuild than I thought it would be.

I thought FA would be for offensive starters at Te/OT maybe G.

A guy who fits that hybrid role is..Conner Barwin..Boomer's interviewee back in the day.

 

Yea makes a lot of sense the more I think about it

 

We need depth.

 

Burnett was pretty good in coverage though....

 

Then nothing else matters.
