Paul Pasquolini FIRED!

they wouldn't fire someone before having secured a superior replacement
wouldn't be prudent :no: not on a Parcells team
they already have the guy, no use in second guessing
we'll know as always :hang:after the fact.

except Dan Henning...the Tuna's boy

I honestly don't think Henning deserves to be fired. The guy lost his starting Qb 3 games in, Lost his starting running back what was it 9 games in? Had to rework the offense from wildcat to a more conventional offense all the while working with a Rookie QB and no deep threat reciever to stretch the field and he kept us in pretty much every game we played this year. I mean the guy is pretty innovative, everyone laughed at the wildcat when he first started using it now everyone in the NFL is using it.

Not even getting into the fact getting rid of Henning hurts Henne's progress as he basically will have to start over in a new system next year. I really think for Henning to get fired would require something drastically more wrong than anything he did this year.

Don't see us going to a 4-3.

Yes I know about Wies but this was a few days before that last week on ESPNEWS'S bottom line that I saw that Romeo was going to KC.

you want to re-tool the defense and start over or something
this defense is not geared to run a 4-3

if you bring in a guy like Zimmer and run a hybrid
i could see a little more 4-3
going to 4-3 full time would not be smart
we have 3-4 personnell

caplannfl So when you hear that, you know a move could come.
27 minutes ago from TweetDeck

caplannfl Source said they were callling around last week to find
replacement.
28 minutes ago from TweetDeck

caplannfl #dolphins fired Defensive Coordinator Paul Pasqualoni,
team announces.

They were looking for a replacement as early as last week, rumor has it (per PFT) Mike Zimmer the BEngals DCord who worked for Tuna in Dallas could be the guy.

Bengals season ends, DCP fired, makes a bit of sense.

Zimmer runs the 4-3, and he does it well.

we won't !
not even if Friend GardenHead w/right
& Parcells himself has to fill the position of DefensiveCoordinator
we will continue to work out of the 3/4 as our basic defensive set
we've been building it for the last two years

Well, I guess there had to be accountability, but I blame the personnel. Unless he had a hand in selecting which FAs to sign and what positions to draft, I don't think our defensive collapses are mostly his responsibility. But I don't think we'll miss him either.

Its been reported that Crennel may go to KC but at this point its still rumors, nothing has been confirmed. I would welcome him here.

Disagree, especially if one considers JP/Ayodele maybe are looking for employment elsewhere soon, our strength is our depth at Dline which is the key to the 4-3.

Plus Cam Wake can play RDE...:shifty:

Zimmer definitely makes the most sense with the timing, really hope so, would much rather have Zimmer than Groh.

Was Zimmer the DC in Dallas with Parcells

Embrace change Brother.

Besides, with our Dline strength, we would need maybe 2 Lb's to run it, and that would free us up to draft offensive playmakers in the draft.

Wake can play RDE, Merling is a natural LDE, McD, Langford, Starks.

Our Lb's are just to old my man, it would take forever to draft the 2 or 3 Lb's we need and have them up to gamespeed.

This way, 1, maybe 2, Lb's, the rest of the draft on Bryant and Gresham.

yes and he ran a 4-3 in 2004 and transitioned to a 3-4 in 2005.

He does both. Seems like it would be a good fit he likes to run a hybrid style these day depending on personell

His first year, then in yr 2 Tuna went 6-10 and Zimmer switched to the 3-4 and the "D" was not as good.

BTW...Ain't no Romeo coming to Miami:

edgarthompson Romeo Crennel will not be next Dolphins DC,
according to an NFL source. Crennel most likely to reunite w/ Charlie Weis in KC.

At least not right now.

I dunno, living here in Cincinnati I've seen most of the Bengals games - I'm not so sure that defense is what it seems sometimes. I'll admit, Jonathan Joseph and Leon Hall might be the best CB duo in the NFL that no one knows about, but their pass-rush wasn't that good. Antwan Odom recorded 5 sacks in week 2 vs. Darryn Colledge - normally the Packers LG, playing LT for the injured Chad Clifton, but they certainly didn't get the the opposing QB much after that. Maualuga, Jones, and Rivers are pretty solid, but none of them, at this point in time as I think Maualuga will flourish in that system, gives you anything noticeably more than Crowder. Their run D was solid, but I'd argue that ours was just as good until Ferguson got injured.

Thanks

Wake was situational last season
you dont know if he can play de full time in the nfl
Langford and Starks would have to be DT's
Merling hasnt proven anything
you are way ahead of yourself again padre

nothing situational about Wake. he can play either way
just my opinion, but don't see us changing from the 3/4
look around, the new direction is going to the 3/4 not 4/3

"Killerphins wrote:

Only one way to find out what Wake can and cannot do, but we still have that JT cat hanging around somewhere on the golf course..

Langford and Starks would have to be DT's

Yep, Langford played DT at Hampton, Starks DT in TN.

Merling hasnt proven anything

True, but it would also get him on the field more.

Look at it this way, the 4man Dline would put our most talented defenders on the field for the most plays, Starks, Wake, Merling, sort of the thinking behind the WC.

you are way ahead of yourself again padre

Like that is something new...:lol:

Way I see it, if we continue to run the 3-4, this draft will be devoted just to adding players to man the thing, and "we have to wait 3yrs to.." comes into effect, the 4-3, we know pretty much what we have and where they would fit.

We could take a Dez Bryant at #12 if we ran the 4-3, if we go 3-4 we may end up taking a NT at #12...yay!

I totally disagree, respectfully of course, the guy is way too conservative, if anything he takes away from Henne's progress......Time and time again all you saw were questionable offensive playcalling, the whole way to conservative....where was the shotgun?? where was the hurry up offense? where was throwing ocassionaly on 1st?? why when they were moving the ball and Henne was getting a rythmn, did he resort to the wildcat with just Ricky running it: instead of letting Henne throw from the base offense in shotgun?? Ricky throwing it in Buffalo for an interception, when he was avgeraging 5 plus yards on that opening drive was another "genius" play....so many blunders, running reserves once a game...

Bottom line is when the wildcat was installed, it had to be, there was something that needed to be done, whereas Pennington couldnt stretch the field with his lack of arm. Defenses were daring him to throw, nobody was scared of him, dint you notice that after Henne came in, and Ronnie went down, the Wildcat disappeared for the most part...They have that guy now, in a passing dominanted NFL to get those "chunk yards"...the cat is nice but not nearly as needed as it used to be, and if they get a number one stud, it will be all but a memory, and they should be moving towards more of a spread offense...why not? they would have the weapons at that point....no?

just found our new defensive coordinator
welcome aboard padre
remember you heard it first here :hi5:

Wake was a situational player because he was inconsistent in pass coverage. If we played a 4-3 (not saying I want us to) he could easily play much more since we would never be asking him to drop in coverage. Unless we had a zone blitz on.
