PLENTY of space on Dolphins roster
93 replies
NFL teams better think twice before cutting players they want to stash on the practice squad because the Dolphins will be pouncing on any and everything of value according to G.M. Jeff Ireland. I say the over-under on players cut after the 53-man roster is created will be 15 during the season....
For those wondering where fellow rookie receiver Davone Bess fits in, I've got him making the 53-man roster. The Dolphins could try to cut the former Hawaii standout and sneak him onto the practice squad, but based on what I've seen that's a risky venture.
Even Sparano openly admits he's "feeling" Bess every few days.

Bess has had the best hands in camp. I think it would be foolish to not keep him around. The hard part is, while we don't have good depth at the top of the wide receiver ranks, our depth in the middle and bottom is probably better than most.
Camarillo, Bess, Kircus, Wilford. All players that fill out a depth chart nicely. Add Ginn and Hagan to that pile and someone has to go.
Now that the rest of the world has caught onto the fact that John Beck is on the trade market, exactly what do you think the Dolphins should get in return for the 2007 second-round pick?
:lol:
I guess he didn't read yesterdays report saying just the opposite. I guess if you are going to go down, you might as well go down in a hail of gun fire. God bless him :pity:
The WR battle is one that I'm watching closely and I'm hoping that Bess has earned his way onto the roster. I would hate for this team go out and pick up a castoff and see them potentialy lose Bess to another team.

I love you Mom, you are the greatest woman that I've ever known.
We are unsure at the top of the WR position, but at the bottom there's a freaking crowd.
Our new SLASH player.... Could Possible replace Wess position in the slot.

Sounds like Bess needs an adult around, QUICK.
Omar Kelly is the Man.We need more peeps like him.
:hammertime:

why? cause he's pushing the Beck for a 5th speculation now despite no evidence that he's being shopped?
it amazes me that some of these guys actually have a job just plain making stuff up. Omar is one of the worst in South Florida.

You're joking, right? Kelly is a hack.
Anyway, I wonder how many additional Cowboys we'll find on our roster. The Cowboys have a bit of a glut at the #2 receiver spot, probably some excess LB/OT depth, and might have a couple of secondary guys worth looking at.
It'll be very interesting if we take any Belichick castoffs.

As with most things...that's relative, not fact. It's your respected opinion.
For example, I enjoyed the blog. That doesnt mean I agreed with everything in it.
I like his foward approach to his writing, especially the part where he tells everyone that he doesn't need acceptance.

I checked the SS earlier, nowhere was there any mention of Beck's performance in last nights practice where he threw 3TD's and had what one reporters called the "the throw of the day".
From Edgar...
John Beck: Beck, who threw one pass Monday and Tuesday, hit 12-of-21 throws. One of them was the throw of the day, a long pass down the sideline with WR David Kircus, who beat CB Joey Thomas. It was one of Beck's three TD passes during the evening session. But he also threw an interception to S Renaldo Hill.
Omar dug himself a hole and he continues to tunnel even deeper.

I love you Mom, you are the greatest woman that I've ever known.
Man, I thought this thread was titled Plenty of CAP space on Dolphins roster...
I got so excited for a salary cap debate. Turned out to be another John Beck thread....:sad:

If he didn't care, then why are they linking their readers to another site so they can vote in ckparrothead's poll?

Opinion can become fact if enough supporting evidence is presented to back an opinion. Omar has been caught in many examples of misleading reporting and letting his personal choice affect how he chooses to slant information.
As for the part about him not needing acceptance.... that's funny.
Because if he really felt that way he wouldn't need to address the fact that he's not getting support on his blog reporting.
I know you're a journalism major but I still question why you'd choose to make a defense of the journalism field based on the glaring examples of slanted and sleazy journalism many have cited with Kelly and especially the 790 crew.

Come on...... tell me you have some proof of this.
That would simply be too damn funny!

Harvey did that, not Omar.
I know the guy has a tough writing style where he knows he'll offend some people. I'm not saying the guy will change the course of journalism with his ground-breaking writing(sarcasm). Just that I think he isn't as bad as you all make him seem. At least he knows the game of football. Armando, imo, is a lot worse.
I love the fact that we're creating space for pick-ups.

Not going down that road.. :up:
I just think it's unfair to criticize this article in question. I didn't notice any slant in it. He thinks Beck should be kept and perhaps traded for a 5th round pick. That's his opinion. I think we can get a 2nd, maybe 3rd. a 4th would be pushing it. That's even if we trade him. I rather keep him to see which one of our young qb pans out.
and I'm right there with Sparano with our Davone Bess Man Love. :lol:

Someone should give CK a marketing award from the FH site.
That poll he came up with just got the Sun Sentinel staff to advertise a message board simply by nudging someone's ego.
That's the type of stuff advertising awards are given for...... Classic :lol:

15 that is a lot. That would mean Miami would have only 30 players worth keeping. Maybe they are that bad. It is just hard to believe for me. It is not like other teams are THAT filled with talent. I guess it coudl be argued that the other 31 teams have one or two players at the bottom of their roster that is better than someone on the bottom of our roster.
I would put the over under at 8. That is even a pretty big number.

Well, if Omar was ok with Beck, he'd be ok with 90% of the people here that hate him. :wink2:

Maybe 40% of the people. There are still people who remember Joe Schad's blog. There was someone who was good at his job
