Mauai is a tough bastard. Im really glad that move worked out for us.

Did anyone else notice ou fullback getting in Seau's face yesterday?
He did it at least twice. I was so proud of him I almost had atear come to my eye.:thumbup:

Call me crazy but I think he doesnt have to worry about Parcells wanting him next year

He told Seau "I'm the Jaugernaught Bitch"!!:cursing:

I heard Seau tell him to "Hush Up".

i don't think maui is a good fullback but the somoans are tight with their families and right now the dolphins are his family

he's not the best right now but he could be a beast, he's only a rookie.

Mauia may make rookie mistakes but he doesn't back down from anyone. He was shoving people with his hand in their face yesterday. I like that attitude

For being a rookie drafted in the 5th round I think he is doing the best job he can right now. He should really start to blossum next season. I can see him being our fullback for years to come. Hes one of our bright spots on this team.

Seau has always been a showboating, trash-talking punk no different from Porter.

I get so sick of seeing him and ANY player on ANY team jump up everytime they make a tackle and go running into the backfield jumping up and down and acting like fools after doing what they're supposed to do to begin with.

Travis Daniels is another one that needs to shut the hell up.

Wish we had more of that attitude on our team

I think he was a 6th round pick.

Mauia is playing MUCH better than I thought he would . . . I actually thought it wasn't that good of a pick . . . but he is proving me wrong . . . he can start for us for the next 10 years at FB.

At the begining of the year he was wiffing on a lot of blocks and I thought he was a bust. But he has played well as a blocker. I hope he develops into a solid receiver and short yardage guy.

The problem I had with it (not so Much Mauia) was people like Chapman getting in peoples faces after a good run, hello earth to Chapman, we are losing 28-0!!!!

1 - Ted Ginn, Jr., WR/KR, Ohio State (6-0, 180);
2 - John Beck, QB, Brigham Young (6-2, 216);
2 - Samson Satele, C, Hawaii (6-2, 311);
3 - Lorenzo Booker, RB, Florida State (5-10, 193);
4 - Paul Soliai, DT, Utah (6-4, 334);
6 - Reagan Mauia, RB, Hawaii (6-0, 280);
6 - Drew Mormino, C, Central Michigan (6-3, 299);
7 - Kelvin Smith, LB, Syracuse (6-2, 234);
7 - Brandon Fields, P/K, Michigan State (6-5, 239);
7 - Abraham Wright, DE/OLB, Colorado (6-2, 242)

He was the first of two picks in the 6th round. He's made mistakes, but make up for it with intensity!

This draft Still has TONS of potential to be great.

Seriously . . . in another year or 2, I could see everyone outside of Smith and possibly Wright starting for this team (obviously Booker wouldn't start, but be a critical piece to our offense). . . that is impressive.

yeah but that dosent make you a good football player. if that were the case then we should get the rock or maybe rampage jackson.

i love his attitude but i'am worried about his skill, he can't catch and for some odd reason he seems to go down very easily when he gets the ball in his hands, his balance seems to be off

that's the point i'm trying to make he is not an athlete the only thing he will be able to do is block he can't run with the ball he can't catch and he has no speed or elusiveness he will never be a lorenzo neal type of blocker so what's the point of having him ...let's get jacob hester much better fullback ........o'h and for everyone who thought this guy was a good pick ...well... he wasn't even going to be drafted if it wasn't for us taking him so why did he go in the fifth should have drafted a tight end lineman or a safety or corner. botom line. we "had" heath evans kyle eckel you can't tell me this guy is better than either of those guys ps.i can run through dry wall it's not that big a deal

I love this guy. He has been a bright spot IMO this yr. He will be solid for yrs. He misses blocks at times, but I've never seen him get ran over.

I love how you, after just 15 games, can already conclude that
a) Mauia can never be a Lorenzo Neal type of blocker (mind you, he is one of the greatest of all time)
b) That a college running back (Jacob Hester) will be an NFL fullback (he weights 224 pounds by the way...not exactly prototypical)
c) That Mauia won't be or isn't already better than Heath Evans or Kyle Eckel

Thanks for the irrational negativity. It wouldn't be a Dolphins forum without it.

I WANT HESTER ON THIS TEAM, i don't care whow much he weighs, that kid is tough as nails and is exactly the kind of player this team playing in this town needs.

i still want to see the juggernaut continue to develope
