If you think Armando regularly makes great points, then I hope against hope that you find my thoughts on a matter, stupid.

 

Wasn't it Armando who said that a 3 technique tackle is responsible for three gaps along the defensive front?

I think so. And after such stupidity nothing he says means much to me. Just ridiculous.

 

The best dolphins reporter? Please tell me you're joking. You can do much better than that for news about the phins.

The Club Level here will give you more info that he ever will. And just so you know he has definitively taken topics from this board and used them as his topics.

His underling once blatantly plagiarized info Boomer, Ck and myself produced and claimed it was his own even though he was 3 days late in producing it and it was copied word for word.

That's not being the best at anything. You can do better, so don't settle for his writings. You're better than that.

 

Yeah it does, as he has time to fact check before he publishes the article.

This comes from probably 4-5 years ago, and when he was called out on it went ape ****. Even without that incident he has produced some crappy articles over the years not based in fact and stretched the definition of hyperbole.

 

That's insane. Did anyone sue his lazy butt?

 

We asked him to take it down or credit the actual authors. If he didn't do either yes we did indicate that the paper would be sued.

This is when we used to produce the Draft Winds articles for Dave Hyde.

 

Armando Salguero is a garbage writer, and I'm skeptical whatever inside sources he has weren't fed to him by Barry Jackson.

 

That was Omar Kelly.

 

Mando is one of the biggest morons in the sports writing world. Anyone who thinks Mando is anything but a hack is either Mando in disguise or clueless.

 

Then all is right in the world.

Hey, since you're the guy that thinks a player at a certain position foretells what will happen with a different player at the same position, I wonder...is it the same with reporters. I mean can we tell what's going to happen in Armando's future based on what happened to other Dolphin's reporters?

 

Than I stand corrected. I knew it was one of them.

I was wrong to state Armando did it. But I remember there was an article he produced that was simply ridiculous, I cannot remember the exact topic but it was asinine.

Thanks for the correction.:up:

 

Excellent. I know I'm right then.

I hear when Ben Volin was here he got carpal tunnel, I guess Mando probably will too....

 

99% of his articles are ridiculous. lol

 

It is important to keep your good quality guys at the right price.

 

LMFAO!! You actually believe that because Mando wrote it!! HAHAHAH!!!

 

Knew what? You still don't understand what happened with OV.

 

Found Mandos account.

 

Stills is a hard to find commodity. He opens up the offense in a way only few wrs in the NFL can.

Branch is okay. We paid him what it costs to keep a starting DE in the NFL. Do we look for upgrades? Yes, but we needed him for now.

This team just made the playoffs with a backup QB and no healthy secondary starters. Can they get a *little* faith?

 

I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone praise Salguero before. This is strange. I remember hearing him on Sirius NFL before. I think it was during the early struggles last year. Even the guys interviewing him were a bit perplexed at his logic. After his interview segment they were like well, there you have it from Armando Salguero... *long pause* Obviously some uh, interesting opinions there. It was pretty obvious from listening to him answer questions he didn't really have a clue, or solid source on whatever opinion they were asking him about. It was quite comical and painful.

As for the article.. To even try to compare what we've done here to NE is a bit insane IMO. NE has the luxury of letting these guys go because they've had stability in player selection, talent evaluation, and player development for so long. They have the ability to let their vets walk, and let the developing players come in and step up, and move them for extra picks and such. That's the benefit to doing it the right way for as long as they have. We haven't had that luxury, but you have to start somewhere. You look at the guys we kept, and look at them outside the lines. What are they? They're guys who have been key contributors on the field, but even more so off it and buying into the program. It's guys like that, that help entrench that stability for you, that help getting everyone in that locker room buying in and on the same page. The culture change is happening, and you need guys who are doing it the right way to buy in to that system. That's happening and is a pretty big reason IMO that those guys were all retained. Yes, even Branch. Comparing that situation to OV is a bit ridiculous IMO. Are both overpaid? Probably, yup. Branch wants to be here though, Branch has bought in to what we're doing here. OV was chasing a big payday, and IMO had a pretty underwhelming season sack wise. The Giants paid him like an elite pass rusher, and he picked up 63 tackles, and 8.5 sacks. Branch picked up 49 tackles and 5.5 sacks for a fraction of the price. OV is likely not going to be worth that cash. Branch may not be either, but it's a salary and deal that's not going to break you as opposed to OV's

Armando though just likes to pick and choose the "facts" he wants to represent depending on what story he's trying to push. Which is exactly why his opinion shouldn't really be taken seriously at all, if ever. Just because he's "plugged in" to the team and a sports writer, doesn't mean he has a clue. He's been way off base far more than he's been accurate. Now if you're comparing him to Omar Kelly, and that's why you're saying he's making great points as usual, then sure, I'll give you that... but is that really a good thing?

 

Until the Kaepernick shirt thing, I think Mando was mostly known for plagiarizing Draft Winds and the high fiving dolphin losses. Now he apparently has fanboys, I'm guessing because of Kaepernick?

 

I don't believe any of this...

Before the season started out their SoS was one the toughest in the league. IIRC, around 10th. So I don't believe you had them winning 9-11 games.
And before the season started did you also figure in the amount of injuries the Dolphins had? No, you didn't. Unless you claim psychic abilities.
Talent level has not gone down. lol...Jeez, Mando, get a new shtick.

Skepticism you have too much of and critical thinking you have not enough.

A first season HC, with a depleted team playing in a new scheme made a playoff run and you don't call that good?

("A lot" is two words.)

 

This sums up every bit of why NE has been so good for so long. You can also point to The Steelers having a similar luxury.

 

And yet some "fans" get all butthurt over FA. As if the Dolphins and past regimes over the last 15 years haven't been FA "winners" multiple times. lol

 

More moving of the goal posts and/or lies.

What happened to you claiming that their SoS was easy before the season last year? Oh, that's right, you were caught in a BS lie and didn't respond to that.

Again, I don't believe you had them winning 9-11 games. Gase, albeit looked like the right man for the job, had yet to coach a game in the NFL. And with the way you run around this board crying at everything the Dolphins do I don't believe you liked him either.

How is the DL worse off?
How is the OL worse off?
TE is about the same? lol

Whatever you say, Mando.

 

I'll answer this; they really aren't. Who'd we lose? Mario Williams? He was nonexistent all last year, replaced by a DE much better suited to defend the run (another complaint of a lot of posters late last year). Who'd we lose on the OL? Branden Albert, oft-injured and declining, replaced by a guy who would have been a #1 overall pick if not for quarterback needs and a bong video. The corners will be the same, most of them young and developing (I'm personally not sold on Lippett but am holding out he continues his growth into the CB position). Safety maybe, but we only had Reshad Jones for 1/3 of the year. He's back. Nate Allen was not the worst signing at safety, especially considering he has something to prove after an injury year and an FA contract that he didn't live up to. The Nate Allen signing and William Hayes trade were the exact kind of shrewd signings we made last year in players like IAQ. Not otherworldly, but dependable enough to be competitive during a full season while this organization continues to churn the roster through the draft and other means (signing Deon Lacy from the CFL, linebacker depth and special teams demon). All of this while keeping enough cap stashed to pay players that are known commodities within the Miami Dolphins. Doesn't sound like a bad plan to me. It might require a little patience, something a lot of people lack nowadays, but hopefully there won't be any offseason where we are buried under the cap.

 

Jesus man, Jermon Bushrod was arguably the worst guard in football last year. You're the PFF guy, right? Why is Bushrod part of your argument?

 

Imagine if it was only a week into FA and we had a draft and June 1st cuts to explore??. Never mind, gloom and doom on.
