This is some bad news, Merling is easily our most athletic all around defensive lineman his lack of performance means Lionel Dotson has to perform in order to see any sort of pass rush from our base 3-4 defensive linemen.

I would think all the young guns would be putting more effort in to tc because they see Jason Taylor leaveing everything out there on the field.

Yeah I have been hearing rumblings all summer that Merling was regressing and not having a good camp, not cool man, we need this kid to step up.

I don't see any team coming into south Florida with the idea that they are gonna run hurry up on us. It's gonna be hot as hell on October 4th when Buffalo comes to town. If they want to have any gas left in the 4th quarter, they shouldn't run hurry up in the first 3 quarters.
I don't have a problem with Starks being on the field. And there's still a possibility of Holliday rejoining the team. It's way too early to be hitting any panic buttons.Kanye West likes this. -

When you have the worst OL in the league, you should try running the no huddle.

Another adverse affect that tends to come from the Hurry up is it tends to leave their defense on the field longer as well.
I think the fact that Merling is looking least affective at this point might be a blessing, as I think he can catch up to the others that ARE looking good. We could effectively start looking much like the Gints team thatwent all the way recentlyGametime111 likes this. -
Theres still plenty of time for merling to get his act together..maybe it only takes for him to realize hes gonna be riding the pine and then he will step it up

So much for that draft steal : /

dont buy it. earlier reports had him looking improved year to year and he was fine last year playing with a hernia. i think this is typical parcells motivational stuff. same with vontae davis

It must be a blue and orange thing...:lol:
To me Merling's talent level is so high that Sparano and Co won't allow him to be just "okay" and I tend to agree with them, Merling should be Leonard Marshal Jr. not just another Camp Body/run plugger. -
With Vontae Davis, my bet is he's getting caught being too aggressive, kinda like a QB who throws too many picks, you need to make sure he plays smart as well as aggressive before you feel comfortable with him -
Yeah um.... Vonnie you still out there brother?
-
if its a big issue they said they would consider getting Holliday back.
-
I still think he should be playing linebacker. I dont' understand why they packed on so much weight on him. He's probably pushing 300 I'd say or at least looked like it in the season finale. He's got a good first step though and I don't know about him playing end. I'm still not comfortable with it. He should be in a two point stance.
