Merged:*Rumor* Dolphins looking for Wr help before trade deadline

I doubt it's a reflection of Bess. maybe they want someone to compete with Hartline?
or maybe they have no confidence with our #4 and 5 WRs.

If true, is this more of an indictment on Bess, Hartline, Marshall or Henne? Because quite frankly, I feel that Henne has the weapons available to him.

This also goes against the report that Sparano and Co., want to re-dedicate the team to running the football. If you are planning on running a bunch more often, why do you spend money, draft picks and/or players on another receiver?

Yep, this has to be BS. We need another WR like we need another CB or CB....we DONT.

I agree that Marty B might be attractive to us, but I honestly dont think Jerra lets him go. He had HUGE expectations when they traded us Fasano, and he is finally starting to show up this year. The Pokes, while being at 1-3, are still in the hunt in that Division.

Bennett also has dong shots all over the internet. Miami's edict should be no dong shot atheltes on the team. Which means no Bennett, no Favre and no Greg Oden...wait.

Which is why I'd think a Te would make more sense, Henning likes the two Te sets, we have one proven Te in Fasano, and then two or three Rookies, if we wish to run the ball that has to be fixed.

And I still think Deon Anderson if healthy winds up in Miami if we don't land a Te.

i wouldn't mind getting another WR as long as he's a stud at kick returns. lol

exactly we may be trying to go after a 4th WR/kick returner no?

This guy has been pretty incorrect withmost or all of his rumor tweets lately. Time to write him off.

I tend to agree with the majority that TE help would be the priority more then WR help.

Thing is, no one really comes to mind to fill that role outside of maybe Roscoe Parrish, maybe Lee Evans, if the Bills are having a firesale those two would be on the list.

If we landed Evans Hartline could handle kicks.

I disagree. If Hartline could handle kicks, he would already be doing so :up:

He was wrong about Vincent Jackson to New England (and I was right about VJax all along :shifty:) but he’s been right about things like Revis being out at least 3 weeks.

He’s been saying that Steve Smith of the Panthers could be traded. That might be the guy we’re after.

I agree that Henne could use another target, but like most everyone here I believe that what he needs is a TE rather than a WR. I guess they could want a speed guy if they are not happy with Moore, but that is more of the bottom of the roster churning we always do. It could be intended for STs help more than WR help.

i would also think that TE is the most important. what would be interesting though is what type of WR are we supposedly interested in. I doubt its a slot or big play receiver like Bess and Marshall, so is it a possession receiver, a speed receiver, a tall red zone receiver?

Well, the VJax thing is a push Des, the pats did sniff around SD for pricing information, but Kraft put the stop to the talks due to character concerns.

I'd still like to pick the Bills pocket for Evans, imho he could be had for cheap.

Bs to me too

whens trade deadline? 19th?

The Chargers were never, ever, ever going to trade Vincent Jackson.

That is this Tues. isn't it?

If the Panthers have Smith on the Block, and the Bills have Evans, I'd think long and hard about either one, Smith would be a #1 pick Evans I'd think would be a 4th or 5th..

I retweeted what IncarceratedBob originally wrote. Padre follows me, so he got the retweet in his timeline and posted it here.

Wow... that would be really interesting. Smith has the speed to stretch the field that we lack... while still being a very tough WR that our regime covets.

There arent many WRs that would be a better compliment to Marshall than Steve Smith (Car)...

don´t wanna **** up the parade but so wrong about Terrell "washed up" Owens though....:shifty:

Why is it so far fetched to think we would go after another WR?
Marshall hasn't really been all that great ( yep I said it) and we need a guy who can stretch the field to open some of this up.
