Dolphins agreed to terms with first-round DL Jared Odrick on a multi-year contract. Odrick was a high-motor defensive tackle at Penn State, but he's ticketed for end in the Dolphins' 3-4 scheme. The 2009 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year was thought to be the favorite for the right end job following Phillip Merling's season-ending injury, but the recent acquisitions of veterans Marques Douglas and Charles Grant suggest he won't be rushed into the staring lineup.
We are stacking up the D-line with all these signings. Interesting to see who will stick on the roster. Nolan is bringing in his guys. I like that.
I was thinking that since Merling played 3-4 DE as well as 4-3 DE in nickel situations, that two replacements may be needed. Douglas is a decent 3-4 guy but he's no pass rusher. Grant isn't a 5 technique, but he has a ton of experience as a 4-3 end. Seems like a couple of good signings considering the circumstances, but not necessarily a knock on Odrick.
Man that is great, I dont think we will have any problem signing any of our draft picks this season. Good to hear we inked Odrick.
I dont think it is out of the realm to think they will play some 4-3 this year.......giving the man in charge, and I think he is loading up the front line...
Second-round pick Koa Misi is no the lone Dolphins draft pick not yet signed. The club and Misi agent almost had a deal a few days ago but details kept that from happening Read more: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolp...s-to-terms-will-be-in-camp.html#ixzz0v6a4Q2If
Agreed. I especially want to see some 4-2-5, or 3-3-5, some 2-4-5 even. Get a bunch of fast guys out there, confuse the protection, and wreak havoc. Sounds good to me .
Well if you want to play smash-mouth football there are two things you gotta do. 1. Stop the Run 2. Run the ball Hey, not flashy, but that is the basis of our identity...
I think that the Dolphins showed him a picture of Sanchez and told me he can beat the crap out of him AFTER he signs his contract
here's the details Dolphins first-round pick Jared Odrick signed a five-year, $13 million deal that included $7.134 million in guaranteed money
