Satele voted #6 offensive rookie according to SI. Congrats Samson, may be the anchor of our line for the next 10+ years.
Of equal note, 3 WRs on the list, and not a single member of Ted Ginn's family is among them.

i think samson was a steal for us
-
I didn't realize Dwayne Bowe had that good of a season with such a poor offense, it is nice to see Satele get some recognition.
-
LMFAO at the picture....kinda sums up the story of the '07 Dolphins, huh:
-
Cleo is going down in that pic LMFAO!!!!
too bad we didn't draft the whole Bowe family -
-
Congrats to Samson. I REALLY wish that Hudson Houck could have stuck around. The rest of the coaching staff, I don't care, but I think that he is probably the best OL coach in the league. He did a great job with what he had this year.
-
-
Samson named to that team, Ginn pro bowl alternate, that is down right respectable for a Dolphins draft....:hi5: -
-
And for the record, I was wanting Samson with the first second rounder we had :up:
and...as soon as FH comes back up, I will back this up:ffic:
Good job Big Sam...
and I also think letting Hud Houck go is gonna be bad for us. -
Lastly, its possible the new HC can resign HH if he wants to, etc.Last edited: Jan 3, 2008 -
IMHO he is the BEST third round draft pick since Jason Taylor in 1997.

We picked him with the 2nd of our two 2nd round picks.
-
That was very funny in hindsight....:lol: -
Samson was a great draft pick......at least we got something by dealing away Wes Welker. I can't remember too many times this year where you saw a nose tackle or anyone else really beat Satele up the middle. I think most of the sacks given up were from going around the LT. Satele also doesn't fumble the snaps like Sweaty Hands Seth use to, and our line as a whole did not have a lot of false starts. It will be nice to have Samson there for years to come. :ffic:

Still what other great draft pick in the second round can you think of that has made such an impact? Maybe Patrick Surtain in 1998? -
-
Yup, Beck, Satele, Roth are our recent 2nd rounders (Chambers as honorable mention) (edit, Hagan and McMike were 3rd/4th rounders)Last edited: Jan 3, 2008 -

Sorry, Oopss. my bad, yes 3rd/4th round, was quickly looking at the wrong column (2nd pick / 3rd & 4th round each year).Last edited: Jan 3, 2008 -
Hagan - 3rd rounder in 2006.
McMicheal - 4th rounder in 2002. -
go satele
-
Wow. Peterson didn't even start until the 6th game and he ended up with almost 1400 yards. Not to mention he was out with an injury also.
Anyway.... congrats to Samson. He'll be here for a while. -
I cant wait to see what kind of second year he is going to have. I have the feeling that our o-line will become a strong point in future years and not the laughing stock it was in the past.
-
About Huock, it's not all doom and gloom. When he left San Diego their line hasn't really missed a beat. They have better talent but we have better talent now than when Houck first started, and hopefully we'll stock up a bit more this offseason. -

Some of our best Ol drafts were in the 1st or second round.
Dwight Stephenson 1st 1980
Richmond Webb 1st 1990
Keith Simms 2nd 1990
You want good longstanding linemen, you have to pick in the 1st or 2nd round. Not that there aren't good linemen in later rounds, but for those franshise guys you really need to look in the top 2 rounds. -
-
good...he deserves it
-
One of the reasons to look forward to 2008... -
I wish we had gotten Dwayne Bowe. That guy is stunning.
