Merged: End of the owners meetings nuggets..good stuff; Omar K. Write-up.

Considering what I've read about Wilson, I think you are way off base.

 

Penchant for getting into trouble. I do not agree with your Mathieu comment, but agree with you about Wilson. Heck, I'd take Mathieu at 3b and come back and take Wilson with our 5th round compensatory if we'd taken no more than 1 WR to that point.

 

Word. I'd hate to believe the presence of Gibson would tell Ireland he didn't need Austin, and also considering Bess could be easily traded for a mid round pick after taking Austin, and would be gone after 2013 anyway.

 

Dolphins will do that to you!

Curious about Thigpen's role, as slot guy he does not quite fit what Philbin said about specialists, and as a returner mostly he is a specialist.

I am beginning to suspect DBess could be roster trouble.

 

Were you at the Wash State practices?

 

CK posted similar accounts a month or so ago. I am wondering what DJ personally eye witnessed to have such a negative feeling about Wilson.

 

I would be very glad to see you resume the title, myself!

 

5. Philbin made it clear his vision is to have four receivers who can all do the same thing, all play the same positions. He's not a fan of specialists, or alphas. And speaking of specialists, Philbin went out his way to dispel the perception that all Mike Wallace could run was take-off, hitches and drags. Philbin said the coaching staff charted every throw, and every drop Wallace has made throughout his career. He believes the Dolphins' new addition can run a full route tree. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin described Wallace as a "blue collar worker" and points out he's got skills few NFL receivers have.



So much for the one trick pony BS one might have you believe.

 

One of the best things Omar has ever written.

I don't think Austin was the type of player Philbin was referring to when he talked about not wanting specialists or alphas.

 

Hope not. I wonder if he has run the route tree.

 

There is an easier way to view the Sentinel. For instance if you run Firefox.........go up to the Firefox button in the very top left corner and click on Private Browsing (2nd option down). That will bypass the Sentinel's crap every time.

 

Aqua, even at your most "bitter" moments, you're still more optimistic than most. don't change.

 

Remember we are in the misinformation part of the off season to throw scents of particuliar players. This specialized player comment may be suggesting that Philbin and Co are absolutely enamored with Tavon Austin and what he may be able to add to this team. There have been many comments posted about players on the team, and then later those players are no longer on the team, jus sayin'.....

 

If they think Wallace can run a full route tree, then they will likely think Austin can as well. Because Wallace is not very good at running sharp breaking routes. No matter what Joe Philbin says, that is not debatable. My stance from the very beginning on Austin is that they take him if they believe he can play outside as well as inside.

 

No. The Dolphins interview with Dez Bryant at the combine was their last contact with him outside of Jeff Ireland calling him up for apologizing for a question that I think was one that needed to be asked to see what kind of response was obtained. I don't even think Miami attended his private workout that year.

The scouting of West Virginia is a lot like Irleand scouting Ryan Tannehill. I know that Ireland personally scouted Tannehill during Ryan's junior year at Texas A&M and then another couple of times during his senior year.

Back in 2009, Miami spent a lot of resources scouting Percy Harvin. I'm not sure how much they watched him live, but they interviewed him at the combine, at his private workout, had Chad Henne throw the ball to him at his private workout, brought him to Miami at their local workout, and then brought him into Miami again the night before the draft. Had he been available, Miami would have drafted him in 2009.

 

Well...Philbin must be just a large bald silly person. He better visit thephins.com so he can learn the real truth about Mike Wallace.

 

EJ Biggers would be a nice pickup but I'd rather trade for Sam Shields. neither Marshall or Patterson should be starting, period. I liked Sean Smith coming out and I like Xavier Rhodes just the same if not more, he's more physical, wouldn't be mad if we took him at 12, seeing as how drafting Cordarrelle Patterson has now become a pipedream because of Brandon ****ing Gibson ...

 

Wallace-Hartline on the edges would guarantee Austin one-on-one inside. That's frightening. The speed on the field would be sensational. Four deep threats and a very fast RB, plus a QB with mobility.

 

Are you really comparing Wilson with a Mathieu?

 

4? Hartline, Gibson and Bess never have and never will be deep threats. Wallace and Austin would be the only ones, which is fine, you don't need every guy to run 4.3, we need the right mix of explosive guys and possession guys...the only problem is even if we were to draft Austin, we don't really have much size for the redzone.

Titans offered Welker a nice contract think they would be interested?

 

Who is dumber Joe Philbin for thinking Mike Wallace can runn routes or Pete Carroll for thinking of earl Thomas can play safety

Hartline IS a deep threat. Have you not been watching Dolphin games?

 

Anything past 15 yards is deep in the NFL. I have seen all three guys burn corners on 15+ yard routes. Route running is more important to getting open deep than speed.

 

Route running is teachable. Getting a player in the habit of pivoting his plant foot 45 degrees in the direction of his break and dropping his *** when he makes his break will tremendously improve his cuts.

 

Sorry i'm late I was busy counting my profi- I mean... club fees @ the treasury.

Congrats on your promotion Aqua!!! This automatically makes me Vice prez.....

My first order of business as vice prez, get rid of shady dealings and money laundering in the club treasury.

 

Essentially, yes. If he tries to use Wallace as an all around guy, Wallace's production will continue to decline. That's what Todd Haley tried to do with him last year. If he uses him as a deep threat with a few occasional shallow crosses, then he will have success but will limit what you can do from that position within the offense.

 

The problem with him is getting him to gear down and not chop his steps on those sharp breaking routes. He's not a quick twitch guy like Tavon Austin. Mike Wallace is a straight line athlete. He really struggles when he has to make sharp, quick twitch moves because it takes him too long to "gear down".

 

Most of these responses warrant the gif of Wallace housing a 50 yard TD from a 5 yard slant. just tired of linking it, so lets pretend its here.

*******GIF*******

 

Funny thing is, what I said about Earl Thomas is in fact true. He's one of the worst run defending safeties in the league right now. But, you can continue to think I was wrong in my evaluation of him. Go read Matt Miller's write up on him from the other thread, you know, the one where Reshad Jones is actually ranked as a better safety than Earl Thomas, which is what I felt would be the case coming out of that draft.

Like I've said in other threads about Mike Wallace, the stuff I'm saying about him is not made up. Greg Cosell sees the same thing. Several others that are analysts and not sports writers see the same things.

The only thing that Joe could be thinking that would make any sense at all with his comments is that he thinks he can get him to running a full tree, which I think is going to be a tremendous challenge on his part.

 

Silly rabbit, a slant is nothing more then a bent vertical.

 

So is a slant a 10 yard out or dig pattern? You have any GIF files of Mike Wallace running precise routes when he has to make sharp cuts?

 

Then show me visual evidence that shows Mike Wallace can run a full route tree with precision. That's the challenge. Prove it, because I have exhausted measures to show how he is clearly not a precision route runner to the point that taking the opposing view is nothing more than a measure in futility.

I mean, if he can do it and has proven it, then it shouldn't be hard to find the evidence to prove me wrong rather than trying to use coach speak as evidence.
