Jim Schwartz and Gunther Cunningham are two bright defensive minds in the NFL. It gives a little more confidence to this pick that they were targeting him as well. I'm an Alabama fan. I saw what he did to us in the Sugar Bowl. And I don't know how much was the kid's talent or the fact that by the second play of the game we were on our 3rd string LT. But he's got a motor from what I've seen and he could be a player.

So why didn't they take him with their 2nd round pick? Good to know Gunther at least had a man crush on him, I guess...

Why has there been so much hate for the Dolphins FO? Has everyone forgotten a certain 1-15 season a couple years ago from the previous regime? Has everyone forgotten a divison title and a playoff game two years ago? The vernom being spewed on Parcells and Co has been ridiculous. They only went out and got one of the best, most dominant linebackers in the game. They only went out and got one of the best, most dominant receivers in the game. They only went out and got a high motor aggressive demon to play OLB and replace Porter and Taylor.
Give your heads a shake, and if you're going to play Debbie Downer go 'head and cheer for the Bills. I'd hate to see how you'd react if you had their draft and off-season. -

I think my comments were taken way out of line. I wasn't in any way meaning to hate on our FO or Parcells or anyone. I was simply stating that I haven't seen enough of Koa Misi to formulate an opinion on him. However if Schwartz and Cunningham, two defensive coaches that I have a lot of respect for in the NFL, wanted him then it makes me feel better about the pick. When a player is taken that you don't know a lot about and other coaches you respect speak highly of him it makes you, at least in my case anyway, more likely to feel good about the pick.

They used it to trade up and select their gamebreaking RB....if they wouldnt have they may have just drafted him ahead of us in the second.Sceeto likes this. -
Anyone else catch Kiper on ESPN the other day picking Misi as the defensive plyaer to watch in the AFC east? Amazing how fast Kiper changed directions on this guy. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Kiper gave himself whiplash.

Some people lose perspective, (not talking about anyone in this thread) about how bad this team really was when they finished 1-15. There have been improvements all across the board on defense and offense. There are so many positive things about this team compared to the 1-15 team and the decline that led up to it.
It doesn't take rose colored glasses or being a "Homer" to see the improvements and positive changes made, from the front office, to the coaching staff, and both offensive and defensive players. They will make mistakes along the way but the good far outweighs the bad. It wasn't too long ago when the bad just totally swamped the good and I am so thankful we have progressed passed that point in history but thats JMO.LandShark13 likes this.
